My new favorite spot-- Couldn't be happier its around my corner! Friendliest staff and superb cortado!
Cute coffee shop on UWS! We got a lavender latte, cold brew, and chocolate croissant. Solid latte, but the cold brew was a bit sour. The croissant was good, but not special. It was too crowded and there wasn't enough seating. Standard service, the drinks came out fast
We were in the neighborhood for lunch and needed a quick pick me up. Found this place online so came in to have coffee on a weekend afternoon. We ordered a few drinks and I specifically got the iced americano. It was good and while it was definitely busy, we were able to grab a seat to enjoy our drinks. It's a nice small cute cafe which can be crowded but I appreciated that there were enough seating inside so it wasn't too long before we got a table. Nice spot to grab coffee in UWS.
Easily is one of my favorite coffee shops in Manhattan! The espresso here is just perfect!! I normally get an iced cortado here and it never misses. If you're looking for something fun, the maple cinnamon iced latte is so delicious!! The service is always very quick and the baristas are very efficient. There's minimal seating inside but you can get lucky to get a spot to sit, which I personally enjoy doing when I am not in a rush. I come often and will definitely continue to come back.
This place has been on my list of coffee shops to check out. I came on a Sunday afternoon and it was packed inside. The tables are quite small but there are maybe 10 two person tables. There's a single stall bathroom in the back. I got an iced vanilla latte and it was fine. Nothing special. I wish it was a little bit sweeter but I needed a little pick me up so it gave me that. The barista was nice!
This place is incredibly cozy and welcoming, with a real homey vibe. Small tables, comfortable seating, and even a little couch that quietly convinces you to stay longer than you planned. The coffee is done right, smooth, balanced, and clearly made with care. The pastries are fresh and genuinely good. Service is very friendly and attentive without hovering, which immediately puts you at ease. It feels personal and relaxed, like a neighborhood café that actually gives a damn. Easy five stars.
Very cute cafe in bustling UWS on Amsterdam. I got the iced lavender latte, and they did decaf which was fantastic, and it was super delicious. But I didn't taste the lavender at all! I didn't mind too much because I enjoyed it but it did taste like just an iced mocha, not sure if they gave me the wrong thing. There's a good amount of seating, pretty quiet for working, wi-fi, tables were a tad small for working and putting a drink down. Solid work spot or place to catch up.
Got the maple cinnamon latte and it was nothing crazy but good! They have a good amount of seating, WiFi and they were kind.
Petite, upper west side neighborhood cafe that provides an easy walk to/from Central Park. Things you should know: I. SERVICE They provide a small drink and pastry menu, along with a self-service water station. There's a unisex restroom for customers. Service is efficient and timely. II. QUALITY Nothing stood out as outstanding about the food or drink, but the cold brew and latte give you the boost you need. The ambience here is homey and relaxing. III. CAPACITY Seating is slim. We came on a late weekday morning and only 2 seats were available at the time.
Great ambiance! It's a cozy shop with small tables for seating. I was lucky enough to grab a table and spend some time here. There's free WiFi which is a plus, but not too many outlets. I ordered their gingerbread latte which was a special. I thought it was perfectly sweet and delicious. It was the perfect drink for a cold January afternoon. This is a great spot for a quick coffee or to stay a while and get work done, as long as your devices are charged up. Workers are really friendly and my drink was made quickly.
Great coffee but also great ambiance.there are not a lot of " cozy " coffee bars this day. A lot have boom boom music and no seating- so naturally this place was packed on a rainy Saturday Memorial Day weekend- but I got a seat. Tufted sofa... plants, wood, antique feel... one thing they need? Some cool etched mirrors and a little more artwork-
This is a cute upper west side coffee shop. There are some tables and chairs to enjoy your drinks. Great place it seemed to do work as well. The barista was very nice and suggested I get one drink over another. I went with the Maple cinnamon iced latte. You can get it hot too. I was debating between this and the Lavender iced latte. I would come back and try another flavor drink. If you are in the area this is a great place to stop by.
4.5 stars. I think I must have walked by this coffee shop several times in the past couple of months before I finally realized it was there. The front is quite unassuming, and it doesn't help that it's almost hidden by all the scaffolding on the street. It was a nice surprise going inside, and seeing how lovely and inviting the interior was. The plants, small wooden café tables, leather sofa and various framed pictures gave the shop a cozy, laid back vibe. It's no wonder that there were many patrons there during my visit. They have a small menu of specialty coffee and a small selection of pastries. I ordered Banana Bread ($5.50), Carrot Cake ($5), Blueberry Scone ($5) and an Americano ($4) to go. The coffee was full bodied and smooth. Exactly what a needed on that cold day while waiting for the bus. Both the Banana Bread and Carrot Cake were good, but I really enjoyed the Blueberry Scone. It was dense but light and had a nice crispy crust. Prices are also quite reasonable IMO. It's really nice to see small, independently owned coffee shops like this one instead of more Starbucks. And I hope more people support this great little neighborhood coffee shop.

A Gem on Amsterdam Ave I can't say enough about Sote Coffee Roasters. Walking in, you immediately feel like you're stepping into someone's home--not a calculated café aesthetic, but a genuinely warm, thoughtfully designed space. But what really sets Sote apart is the coffee. You can taste that Besa and Arber actually care about what they're doing. These aren't people trying to ride a trend; they're two people who fell in love with coffee and built something real around that passion. Every cup is made with actual attention. What I appreciate most is how they've created a genuine third place. You see regulars, you see people meeting friends, you see neighbors actually connecting over coffee instead of just being on their phones. That's rare. read more

The coffee shop is cute and cozy, would be a good reading spot. It was pretty packed on a Friday morning and I didn't see any outlets, so would probably not be a good wfh camp out spot. The blueberry matcha is so watery and just tasted of the blueberry syrup/puree. I would go back maybe one more time to try their coffee and read here, but definitely don't get their matcha. It was ~$8 and not worth at all read more

Solid coffee spot. It's a small space but they still have a good amount of seating for people to lounge and work. I came in on a Thurs afternoon around 3 to duck from some rain and it was still pretty busy. I got a standard drip. Nothing amazing but not bitter and didn't need milk. read more
Cute, small owned business in the UWS. While their menu is pretty basic, the real star is their specialty menu on the table near the register which I think they can do a better job of advertising. We ordered an iced raspberry matcha latte and a vanilla latte, with the former being the highlight of our visit here! read more
A charming and quaint neighborhood coffeeshop serving up a small but straightforward menu of coffees, teas, and baked goods. I tried the iced americano and it was very smooth. Definitely worth stopping by to enjoy a coffee and catch up with friends. read more

I've been wanting to visit this cafe since before it even opened! It's always been busy, but I finally got the chance to try it today. The atmosphere and aesthetics are absolutely charming. The decaf Americano had a bit of acidity, while the hot chocolate was pleasantly balanced--not too sweet. Love the staffs! 5/5 read more

Really cute coffee shop with great potential, but they need to work on consistency. I ordered a honey latte, and they added the honey first, then ice and milk, and poured the espresso shot on top. As any coffee enthusiast knows, that method doesn't allow the honey to dissolve properly--it hardens and doesn't mix well. The milk-to-coffee ratio also felt off, and on our last visit, the coffee tasted burnt. With drinks nearing $8, quality and consistency really matter. If they focus on delivering a consistently great experience, I think they'll do really well. read more
