There was a but of a line outside the store we had to wait about 10 minutes but once inside the staff was so nice. It's a shame the shop is so small it felt very cramped but the ambiance was gorgeous and it felt very elevated. Would love to come back when it's less busy to enjoy the space. The espresso and milk was very good, no sweeteners or flavors needed. So smooth and creamy, and the flavor wasn't too intense. Hot had more of the espresso flavor vs the iced option.

If you are a coffee connoisseur you will love this hidden gem. The atmosphere is cozy, intimate with a sophisticated vibe. The staff are all ten out of ten. The service was first class. I went during the week day, late morning, no lines, just a very short wait inside. Once I got to the register, I was able to sample the coffee, and I let the Barista pick my coffee based on my preference. The lovely barista picked a winner! Very happy with my coffee. The personalized service of the staff, and customers being educated on the coffee beans may create a small wait. However it's worth it. Special thanks to my dear Yelp friend Joseph (LA) for recommending this amazing coffee shop. Which has been awarded one of the best coffee shops in the world! You can find this gem just off Bleecker on Cornelia Street, in the West Village. Tip: Recommend going when they first open, or afternoon. If you want to avoid waiting outside in the line.

I ordered the iced latte with honey and a plain croissant. I didn't come in with any prior knowledge and learned there's no syrups or sweeteners available other than simple syrup or honey. I went with honey hoping it would sweeten my drink enough but it wasn't the best for me. If you enjoy no frills coffee and plain espresso this is the place for you. My croissant was good, no issues there and service was very friendly.

There is food and other items to purchase as well that I didn't order, but as for the coffee I felt it wasn't as good as I hoped. The space inside is small, with only window seating inside, and a few tables outside. I saw someone working on their laptop so I assume there's WiFi, but I didn't see many outlets.

Breakfast sandwiches and baked goods. I treated myself to a jalapeño cheddar scone and I really enjoyed it. They warmed it up for me and were very friendly. It wasn't too crowded too which was nice because I didn't order in advance. It's small, I wouldn't recommend eating there, definitely more of a takeout spot. Recommend!

I had been craving coffee all day, and something about the aroma coming from this place immediately pulled me in. Once I walked inside, I was pleasantly surprised by how cute, decorative, bright, and welcoming the space was. It's also much more spacious than it looks from the outside, with some dimmer, cozy areas that give it a really nice vibe. I ordered a flat white latte, and it was delicious! The coffee itself was really good, which is obviously the most important part. They also have a nice selection of baked goods and a merch section. And then I discovered there's a whole back section with tons of tables and seating areas, plus beautiful live plants throughout the space. It would be such a nice spot to sit, relax, work, or catch up with someone. I'm already excited to come back and try more of their menu. And the service was great very welcoming ..Definitely adding this one to my coffee spots!

No, there are no crazy long lines going around the block waiting for fru fru coffee, but the PR will always satisfy you. From the inviting benches outside to the waft of chocolatey coffee smell as you open the front door, the PR will always be here! Counter service is pro and friendly. Whether its a dash and walk, or you linger and shop for coffee beans and teas, Porto Rico is one of those local institutions and treasures that we need to support in lieu of giving our money to coffee shops where hedge fund managers want to cash in on our daily coffee habit. The only limitation would be their hours with weekends opening later on Sat and Sun, but give them workers a break and make everyone happy.

Walked into Porto Rico Coffee in Greenwich Village and suddenly felt underqualified to drink…read morecoffee. This place has been around since 1907. Meanwhile, I still need GPS to find my car in a parking lot. Over 130 coffees from around the world, shelves packed with teas, spices, and enough coffee beans to keep New York awake until 2126. Also the ambiance is what a coffee shop should look like. I came in for a cup of coffee and left feeling like I just completed a history lesson, a world tour, and a caffeine-fueled life upgrade. Some guys collect watches. Some collect sneakers. Today, I collected coffee and good decisions.

The pastries were the perfect size, and the prices were really good, which made it feel even more like a neighborhood spot I'd want to pop into all the time. I got an iced latte, which was good, but I will note they don't have decaf and only offer oat milk, which was a bit of a bummer. That being said, everything was adorable. If I lived nearby, I fear I would be here every day.
