This place completely caught me off guard in the best way. Walked in on a whim and now I can't stop thinking about it. The space is super clean and minimal, but not in a cold way--it just feels very intentional. You can tell a lot of thought went into everything, from the setup to the little details like color choices and incredibly cute cups/caps. The coffee is seriously good. Not just aesthetically pleasing, but actually well-made. As someone who grew up around good coffee (I'm Colombian), I can tell when it's done right--and this is it. The texture of the milk alone says a lot. Also worth calling out: the pastries. We tried the croissant and the matcha cookies and both were SO good. Simple, but done really well. There's also a second floor with seating, which I was not expecting and honestly makes a big difference if you want to stay a bit. Feels like a low-key hidden spot. The team there is also very kind and surprisingly good remembering faces. Came in just to check it out and now it's part of my regular rotation. read more

Overall rating: 3.5 Really friendly place but the matcha ($7) was not good. A little hesitant to try other drinks given the area. Doesn't seem worth the hype. read more

not sure if we got a bad batch but the pistachio latte was terrible :( the pistachio syrup constantly sat at the bottom no matter how much we mixed. but the latte itself was just so milky and bland. the cup was also pretty small for the price read more

Nothing crazy about this place, cool coffee machine and a nice minimalistic interior approach. We had a matcha and a pistachio latte. Both were okay and nothing really stood out about them (latte was better than the matcha though, matcha tasted watered down). Not too sure if I'd go again due to other options in the area that are more affordable and taste the same, if not better. read more

I popped in here for a quick coffee to go, not sure if this would be gimmicky based on the number of speciality desserts and coffees with unusual flavors. I was impressed as the flat white was smooth and creamy and the coffee was well balanced. The staff were very nice and despite what seemed to be a long line, service was fast. Further inside there is a seating area upstairs which is quiet, good for a little conversation or doing some work. Looking forward to returning to try some of the cookies ($6 lotus and pistachio raspberry) and the dessert cups which other reviews have raved about. read more

No Plates Coffee is a tiny elongated cafe with seats on the second floor. The coffee machine is state of the art futuristic from Australia which George mans. Pastries from Balthazar Bakery are in the display case. I came for the layered dessert jars and took home one with mango and passion fruit. I also couldn't resist two of the Grandma's cookies that were toothsome. It feels more like a grab and go place on the ground floor. This cafe is clean, bright and pretty. read more

Tried the tiramisu finally. Had their matcha and their matcha coconut water. Has an upstairs and bathroom for customers. I like the matcha tiramisu $8 the cake inside soaked with matcha but lots of matcha cream and not a lot of cake, raspberry tiramisu is cheesecake like. My favorite is the matcha coconut water read more

Cute coffee shop with coffee, matcha, pastries, salads, sandwiches and desserts! It's small but very sleek and clean with a standing counter and some seats in the back. I liked their iced latte with oat milk. It came in a cute clear plastic container that mimics a can. The latte was great! The espresso machine they use is legit and it was nice that they don't upcharge for the oatmilk. I also like that they have French vanilla syrup and brown sugar syrup at a self-serve station so you can sweeten to your liking. Great place to stop in for a quick pick me up! read more

GIVE THIS MAN A RAISE!! Loved his energy, and the samples he gave made it such as easy choice to get the Bridge 12. The mango cold foam on the cold brew tonic is usually not a drink I'd enjoy but this is so well executed and yum that I would get it again as a low cal coffee option. so good. i left feeling happy read more

Was waiting for my friend and I's bagels next door when I wanted something to drink. So, I dropped into this cute spot! I didn't get a pastry but they looked SO good. I also didn't catch the name of the man working (he had a beard and an accent I couldn't quite place) but he was so kind and passionate about the drinks. We chatted about the open espresso bar set up a bit, too. I got the hot citrus green tea and it was so refreshing (he was right, it did warm my soul) after a long flight to NYC and on a cold morning. I definitely want to stop by again before I leave. read more

While visiting NYC for a week, I stopped by for my daily cappuccino. I am picky about my espresso drinks and they met my expectation. 5 stars staffs. Highly recommended! read more

One of my favorite coffee spots in NYC! Always stop by when in the area. Really good coffee, exclusive drinks and their desserts are delicious and unlike you usually find in the city. Definitely one of those places I'm always happy to come back. Thanks to the whole team for such a nice coffee experience! read more

i like the simple, no frills interior with bakery-style food display. seems to be way better to stop in if you drink coffeeee. Friendly counter service! i got a honey burrata sandwich on a toasted focaccia piece -- the honey wasn't really necessary which defeats half of the appeal but that's 100% on me because I, in my rush, read it as "hot honey" from outside the store and immediately walked in and got one. Needed some kind of punch--maybe some balsamic glaze. i don't think there was any salt or pepper either. Just a little tooo plain. Burrata was on point! + it was all wrapped perfectly to go/to easily unwrap. I humbly suggest adding hot honey (or the momofuku hot chili crunch) instead. Forgot to check out the cooler in the back but it looks like they have some yogurts, parfaits?, salads, and drinks! Great prices too. read more

Delicious espresso and very friendly staff. The space is bright, modern and clean. I recommend the espresso tonic. It's a great drink for a hot summer day in Manhattan. read more

No Plates was close to our hotel, so we stopped in for a drink on a Sunday morning. I ordered an iced matcha with oat milk. They made the drinks right in front of you. They have a very nice espresso machine and they mix the matcha by hand. They also have some house made sweeteners by the straws in case you want to add some sweetness to your drink. They also have baked goods and a cooler section with bottled drinks, some food options, and desserts. I liked the cups the drinks came in and the staff were great! Definitely a neat little gem in the city. read more

Found this cool little coffee shop as I walking around. I was super intrigued by the espresso machine as I've never seen one like it. I ordered a matcha and it was good, no added sugar so it's a healthier option than most places. read more

One of my favorite coffee spots in nyc! I grind my own beans and make my own espresso every morning so I don't stop by many coffee shops anymore. However, this is a coffee shop I'd come by for even if I got my morning fix already! So good. They even add some honey and cinnamon to my latte which was such an amazing touch. The staff were super nice too. You can get some quick snacks here as well. Limited but cute seating on an upper level. 110% recommend stopping by this gem if you're in the area! read more

I spent about four days in New York, and every morning I made my way to this spot for a double shot of espresso. The barista mentioned it was a Guatemalan roast, and I have to say--it was exceptional. The aroma was rich with subtle hints of chocolate and like a sweet citrus flavor. The crema texture was smooth. Each shot had a balanced acidity. Most importantly, the flavor was consistent--clean, vibrant, and perfectly dialed in every single time. One of the best espresso experiences I've had in a long time. read more

No Plates = No Bueno! The space is very minimal with good air conditioning to hang out in for those NYC heat waves. There's a loft area to sit towards the back and a long standing only counter downstairs. I Went here today because it was recommended to me and I ordered a cappuccino with oat milk and an iced flat white with almond milk. First thing that had me nervous was that the order screen said Iced latte and I corrected the order with the barista but he just left it as an iced latte. When I got back to my place with both coffee's and took a sip out of my "iced flat white" I spit it out as the espresso was not extracted correctly. It was really bitter and tasted like the scent of tobacco. There was also quite a bit of coffee grounds in my "iced flat white". The barista had made an iced latte and not an iced flat white. I'm not sure if he doesn't know how to make a flat white but If he didn't I wished he would've said so. The cappuccino was also off as the espresso didn't taste right and was over extracted. Both drinks ended up being poured out as we could not drink them and I wasted $14 I won't be going back to No Plates with as many amazing coffee shops there are in NYC. I gave 2 stars because the barista was super nice. Otherwise, just based on the coffee alone I would give them 1 star. read more

Finally had a chance to get a coffee here. There was one person in front of me and had to wait until they took my order (though there were two people working). I got the iced americano which came in this plastic can cup. It had 2 shots of espresso and I liked how they shook it in ice before serving. The staff were very friendly and even asked if my pup wanted anything. Would like to come back and try other drinks and try their pastries/desserts. read more

I popped in to get some coffee or matcha while waiting for bagels and found this super cute shop! I usually never write reviews but this shop exceeded any expectations for New York matcha. The matcha is ceremonial grade and they let you add your own amount of sweetener. Coming from Orange County in California -- I've been disappointed with every matcha I've had in New York, but this store was quick and had great matcha and desserts. The matcha and pistachio tiramisu was also so delicious and even my boyfriend who doesn't like matcha enjoyed both items. Although their menu is very simple, this is the best spot for drinks or desserts in the area and I would definitely come back again!! read more

I live in Florida and went here to buy my 1/2 dozen. I absolutely love, love, love these bagels. the shop is so clean and the service was over the top fantastic. my only wish is that they would deliver down here in Florida. read more

Great coffee , pastries and a great meeting area upstairs . Super nice people , great vibe Highly suggest trying them read more

The drinks are good, but the staff is uncomfortable to interact with. All of the men who work here make inappropriate comments and attempt to flirt, which creates an unsettling environment. For example, when I asked one of them to ensure I received my reward points after a purchase, he responded, "I'll give you one point, for one smile." Not only was that comment inappropriate and sexist, but it was also unprofessional and unwelcome. That is not how one should speak to a customer, or to a woman. read more

No Plates Coffee is a must-visit in Manhattan. If you find yourself in the Financial District thirsty for impeccable coffee, stop by and you won't regret it. The staff are so kind and enthusiastic, the coffee is nothing like you've ever had before; made in this beautiful navy machine shipped in from Australia. The shop has a loft-like seating area that overlooks the rest of the cafe where you can relax, people watch, and enjoy your refreshments. No plates, no waste, and all love. read more

Great new gem in downtown! Their barista is a rock star. I highly recommend their lychee/coconut juice/matcha beverage.
