One of my fave coffee shops in Midtown east! Lots of baked goods including cardamom buns and house made cookies!! My go to is a soy latte here - I love that they keep things minimalist. Both coffee and food are excellent and it's a great space to study/do sit down work or meet a friend. read more

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes. Well, not exactly but they make a darn good flat white and their display case looked quite inviting. Only a few short blocks from my job and near the UN. read more

Food/drinks: been here 3 times now and it has been good every time! I love their matcha cookie + everything croissant with cheese. Their Brazilian cheese bun was just ok, very dense. And their coffee is strong which is yum! Atmosphere: very cute! I kinda love how moody it is in here. A good amount of tables with low, regular, and high tables! Also some outlets + wifi so good for working. Service: friendly and as expected Price: $$ normal! read more

Cute coffee spot in midtown! Good matcha scone- the matcha flavor definitely came through. Not the biggest fan of white chocolate, but I still enjoyed it! I also got a regular hot coffee which was okay. I liked dipping the scone in the coffee to make the white chocolate melty! Very friendly owners! I want to return to try the ube scone! read more

Great little coffee shop near Grand Central Station. We enjoyed our cappuccinos on sidewalk tables. Good service and reasonable prices. The espresso was a bit bitter compared to our espressos in Rome, but we were happy to have it. read more

It's not easy to find authentic matcha drinks without sugar-laden additives, so I was happy to find just that at Pennylane Coffee. My matcha latte had a fresh grassy taste and aroma that really hit the spot. An intimate space with a few small tables inside (as well as outside in nice weather), there was a steady stream of customers on a Sunday morning but the line moved quickly. The vibe is decidedly industrial with sleek decor and club music. I ordered a ham and cheese croissant, tasty but would have been better if it had been heated up (as per my request). The lone barista was slammed so I guess that's understandable. I'll return for the matcha. read more

truly, a hidden gem and so good! Came on a Thursday morning, and although it was packed, the drinks were made and came out extremely fast. They have an extensive hot breakfast menu and pastries as well, including gluten-free olive oil cake, which I want to come back and try. Service was friendly and they have nice seating inside although it's not huge. Great coffee shop and couldn't recommend it more! The iced vanilla latte was delicious and not too sweet, which I prefer because sometimes vanilla lattes can be really, really sweet read more

The almond latte was not good. But their pastries look good. I didn't get one but they looked good

I think that this place has a very very good matcha, better than most places in midtown (yes, that includes the trendier places nearby!) What I really like is that they set out syrup and honey so you can sweeten your matcha to your taste. Will come back for this! Waiting for this place to blow up- it needs more attention! read more

This post is special. Because, it is about pennylane Coffee. Being so close to home, it's impossible to miss this place. It does the best Oatmilk latte and I am sure all other lattes and cappuccinos. The reason this place is so special because one of the Baristas, Maria has my heart. When she makes coffee, she makes it with all the love and joy. A soul warming coffee Almost all the baristas are good because the coffee beans are good. But, "A latte is only as good as those hands that make it" I always get the Oatmilk Latte and I also got to try their Matcha Scone which was amazing, nothing like the ones I've had before Ps: Midtowners and followers please visit this hidden gem! Amazing coffee with an amazing barista #supportsmallbusinesses read more

Fantastic coffee. Lots of UN people, so an interesting crowd. Very high quality coffee and the staff is so nice. Wish they were open later. Great place!!! read more

I walked to Pennylane Coffee before work to grab some coffee and pastry for breakfast directly across from the Westin. I was pleasantly surprised by the comfortable and cozy environment, and friendly staff. I ordered a flat white and a sugarless cherry scone. I also confirmed with the staff that there's no sugar in the baked good. The flat white had a strong taste of coffee that's flavorful and rich. Scone, on the other hand, was delightful. Although it's sturdier than a typical biscuit, the scone was quite hearty and had a natural tartness coming from the added dried cherry bits. Overall, I had to walk a bit further to this coffee shop, but I thought it was worth checking out! read more

This place is without a doubt my favorite coffee shop in NYC! They have the best tasting coffee and lots of menu options. You can't go wrong with any of the pastries, and they also have a full menu from their kitchen as well for a heartier meal which I love! My go-to order is an iced vanilla oat milk latte, which never fails to be spot on. The banana chocolate and carrot loaves are also delicious as well as the chocolate croissant. The staff is always nice, and this could be a great spot to work or have a coffee chat/meeting as well. I live very close-by which is so convenient for me! Love this spot. read more

Visit Pennylane on a sunny day. Such a nice little joint for great coffee in a laid back ambiance. Matcha cookie is a must-have. So tasty without too much sugar. I will go back for sure. read more

Pennylane has surprised again, but in an amazing way! After my last visit here when I got the delicious matcha latte, I decided that I was going to get it again to feed my growing addiction for matcha. I was surprised to see that they also served iced matcha without the milk, so not a latte, just water and matcha. And so I thought that they must be pretty cocky to be doing that, because it takes great skill to make authentic matcha. But I trusted them since I loved their latte, and oh my god! Pennylane coffee is now my favorite matcha place. I've been to Kettl, La Cabra, Matchaful, and Cha Cha Matcha, and none of their matcha are as rich and deep in flavor as the one that Pennylane serves. The ratio of matcha powder to water is more than just right, it's a golden ratio. Later in the afternoon when I was halfway done with the drink, I decided to add more water to it to keep matcha party going. The matcha taste was still just as strong, earthy, dark, and rich. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Pennylane coffee. The vibes were great, and the servers were kind. I was able to get a couple hours of work done as well, without too much disruption. I would recommend Pennylane to anyone who has work meetings, needs to stop for a quick cup of coffee, or needs a functional place to use your laptop. read more

Wonderful matcha scones! And delicious chai. Space is also very large and roomy, and the people working there are also very kind.

I went to the no.2 location on 42nd st. This is a nice coffee shop with a minimalist menu. It has a good vibe and it's a great place to meet up for quick chats with people. They keep their bathroom clean and stocked, so it's welcoming. I went in at 12:00pm on Friday and it was not very crowded. Most people who ordered just quickly went back out to tend to their business, so the table and seats were empty. The food items are definitely overpriced for what it is and how little they give. Nonetheless, I understand it is in manhattan, so be it. The greek yogurt granola used dragon fruit flavor, so it was new and interesting. Taste was so-so and portion was very little for $9. The honey and the granola crunch was a good and needed addition. However, I believe I make better greek yogurt bowls. I tried to study here a bit as well, but this is not an ideal working space. I would come here occasionally, maybe for convenience sake, but not because it's a great place. Perhaps when I try other things on their menu my current rating on it will change. read more

Pennylane Coffee - a variety of pastries on display - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Pennylane is a decent coffee shop tucked away in Midtown East. The space is nicely decorated, but the lighting is pretty dark and probably not conducive to working (also their music gets a little loud sometimes). Seems like they're sometimes overwhelmed and mess up orders - I had to repeat my soy add-on multiple times and my flat white turned into a cappuccino, but the coffee is good and so I guess I'll stick to a simple cup of drip coffee unless I'm the only person ordering. The food and dessert offerings are quite varied and good as well. Wished they opened later on weekends though - it seems like a nice place to sit and chill, but that's not really the target crowd for a coffee shop in Midtown. read more

Really Cute coffee shop. They have a small selection of bakeries; croissants, banana nut bread, brownies, etc. the coffee is pretty good. Pretty designs in the coffee latte and good because it was strong and hot with perfect amount of milk. The croissants were warmed up and were nice and flaky indicating they were fresh. I plan to come back for my coffee dates. read more

Cute coffee shop! The espresso drinks are good and they have a loyalty card. It tends to get packed during peak lunch hours after 1 pm. Pastries are ok, there are coffee shops where you can get better pastries. Baristas are nice and friendly even during the busiest hours. If you are lucky enough to get a seat, it's quite comfortable. read more

Small coffee shop tucked away on the far side of second ave. Covered by construction currently, so very easy to miss. Interior isn't marked (took me a while inside the cafe to figure out what it was called) but otherwise, nice vibe, nice pastries, and all the cafe caffeine essentials. Not too much seating - a high top, a booth and a large shared table. However, it didn't seem like Pennylane got crazy crowded, so perhaps it's adequate. Very chill, minimalist vibe. Only annoyance is that you can only have wifi for an hour. read more

Really good coffee, probably the best in this area. Good service, clean beautiful cafe. They are also happy to pour coffee in my reusable tumbler, helping me avoid trash - something other cafes in this area weren't happy doing. I always got Americano here - always good. read more

Pennylane Coffee - Avocado Roll Cold Brew 12oz - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Came here with the gf as she had been here before and remembered liking it. The decor of the place is pretty straightforward. The barista working was very nice. We ordered a cappuccino and a cold brew. The cold brew was fine. As a previous reviewer stated, the product did have a weird tartness that was off-putting. As an overall product it was drinkable but not great. The cappuccino was very weak tasting. Gf chucked it in the bin after drinking half of it. I probably wouldn't come back on the strength of those drinks. read more

Accidentally walked pass the entrance of Pennylane multiple times before finally locating it correctly, I'm so happy I tried this out as Pennylane also serves Stumptown coffee, one of my favorite bean carriers. Ordered cappuccino, it was foamy, balanced, and had a slight touch of bitterness - well executed. Pastries were freshly prepared daily and wrapped in paper bags carefully as well. read more

Pennylane Coffee - Skinny cappuccino. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

A hidden coffee speak-easy that prides itself on minimalist aesthetics, Pennylane does everything that most independent coffee houses are doing nowadays in the Midtown East neighborhood: quality coffee and espresso drinks inspired by the likes of Blue Bottle and Stumptown. A glaring omission is the availability of a true cold brew, which renders Pennylane as a rather hit-or-miss type experience when it comes to your coffee. You can always get your bottled cold brew from Stumptown, but frankly, why would you want to spend nearly five dollars for a small pint of a brew that Whole Foods is offering for three dollars? Free wifi is always a plus, but Pennylane will have to do a bit more to stand out and attract a loyal customer base if it is compete with other coffee houses that are situated only blocks away such as Bluestone Lane, Ground Central, Cafe Grumpy, and Little Collins to name a few. read more

Imagine a startup coffee shop and that's the vibe I got when I walked in. True to its stereotype, that iced oat latte ($5.45) was delicious. They weren't very busy other than maybe 4-5 customers sitting and discussing work. The ambiance caters to a work friendly environment. I'll bring my laptop next time! +1 for offering non-plastic straws that are cute. I would give them a 4.75 if I could, because the only down side I saw was it looked a bit dark inside. read more
