I came in for coffee and perhaps a pastry that could double as a light breakfast. Preferably with some open seating. So I had the daily drip coffee, I think it was Ethiopian, and an almond croissant, which was delicious. But all the reviews recommended the chocolate chip walnut cookie. So I got one for later. I hung out awhile, drinking my coffee. There are a couple outlets but not many seats. People nearby were working. A steady stream of to-go customers came in with their dogs and chatted briefly with the baristas. I ate the cookie later in between some other adventures. I see why people rave about it. It was still warm and gooey and chocolatey, with delicately crunchy walnuts. Nice little coffee shop. read more

Stopped in for coffee after taking the train into the city. Small shop and friendly staff. Ordered a cortado and an iced oat vanilla latte (was charged for ice, oat milk and vanilla syrup). Coffee was just okay and my latte was just too sweet, sadly. We did pick up a bag of beans to try as well and those have been okay as well. read more

LOVE this place! Here all the time because they serve Sey Coffee and have a different roast rotating through regularly but they also sell the beans which is super immportant for people who like to make their own coffee at home. Sey is consistently voted as one of the best coffee roasters in NYC and regularly makes Top 5 lists, and once you try their coffee through Yanni's, you'll know why. Why bother going to BK when Sey has a home right here in Manhattan ? It's a small shop, offering a selection of pastries, with some bar seating and so it's cozy and does have some chairs to sit for a bit. The baristas are friendly and they have loyalty cards. The oat cappuccinos here always hit and have hit ever since I've started coming here for the past few years. read more

Coffee was pretty good. However the white chocolate oatmeal cookie was absolutely amazing. Cookies are baked fresh and was still warm. Service was a bit slow. Don't go here if you're in a rush. read more

Gonna be honest, I only stopped into Yanni's because I was in a rush and it was the first coffee place I saw while walking up Seventh Ave. I was expecting something average at best, but I was pleasantly surprised after trying the two drinks I ordered. The cold brew was rich and smooth, with a hint of nuttiness and not watered down at all. It was perfect black and unsweetened on a hot day. The iced latte was also excellent--well-balanced, with espresso that was not burnt at all. Yanni's has earned a spot as my go-to in Chelsea, and it's definitely worth going out of the way for. read more

Meh. Let me start by saying I didn't even come here for coffee. Which, based on the vibe, might have been a blessing. If the coffee is as stale as the staff's enthusiasm, I really dodged a bullet. I came for a cookie. Why? Because social media told me I needed this cookie. Influencers made it sound life-changing. Spiritual. Transcendent. Was it? Not really. Was it bad? No. It was... fine. But let's be honest how badly can you mess up a chocolate chip cookie? I feel like it's probably more complicated to craft one of their overpriced oat-milk-half-caf-foam-art masterpieces than it is to mix butter, sugar, and chocolate chips. Did the cookie change my life? No. Was it the best cookie in the city? Also no. Was it... a cookie? Yes. It was definitely a cookie. The place itself is tiny, but it's NYC. You're expected to grab your item and vacate the premises before you finish blinking. Now the service. About as warm as the cookie (which is to say... not). But hey, it's New York. I once read that NYC isn't full of rude people it's full of people who just don't have time to be nice. This spot is clearly staying on brand. Would I come back? Nope. Not a chance. There are too many actually-great cookies in this city to settle for "influencer famous." read more

If you ever need a good pick me up in the area, stop by YANNI'S! The espresso shot with the chocolate chip walnut cookie was an absolutely amazing coffee. I love how their cookies are sweet but not overwhelmingly sweet (love levains but sometimes I feel it'll give me a cavity). Plus the owners are super friendly! There's not a ton of seating but most people tend to take stuff to go, would recommend read more

This is a casual spot with bench seating right in Chelsea. I pass it all the time and decided to try it out recently. Solid latte, but I would not get any sweet treats here. I was not a fan of the cookie, but I'll be back for my daily coffee fix. read more

Very good coffee and very good savory pastries. Would definitely return to try more coffee and a cookie.

Great chai latte especially if you don't like your drinks too sweet. Really kind baristas as well!!

We need more shops like this in the city! The inside may be small, but the quality of the coffee is what matters, and Yanni's is not going to let you down in that department. I really think the world would be a better place if more coffee shops used SEY beans. The baristas were really pleasant to talk to and seemed genuinely interested in conversation, which is another big green light for me, so I recommend Yanni's! read more

i kept hearing about this coffee shop so i finally checked it out and omg im so happy i did because it absolutely lives up to the hype! their espresso is divine and i will need to be coming back for the chocolate chip cookie which i've heard is the best in NYC! there isn't a ton of seating inside or out, but they do have some so if you get lucky you can sit there & the baristas were super sweet and it was very quick service even though they were constantly busy. it's super cute inside and i absolutely will be back to visit again read more

favorite coffee I've found in Manhattan, espresso is great, cortado was awesome, prices are on the high end but worth it. The oatmeal white chocolate cookie was also great, soft texture, not too sweet, very nice with coffee shop is pretty small, some counter seating around the edges but I wouldn't plan to stay all that long (they do offer wifi) read more

Middling coffee and overpriced. The almond croissant was good though, but not $6 good.

The espresso here is so freaking good. I just opted for an iced latte with almond milk, nothing fancy, and the drink absolutely blew me away. The espresso had a bit of a nutty flavor and the milk was perfectly balanced with the depth of the espresso -- not too milky at all. Wish I lived closer... I would be a local! Only con is there is no bathroom in here and very limited seating, and it is very popular on weekends. read more

I ordered a ice cold brew coffee. Gross. I was disappointed .will not patronize again

We stopped in Yanni's on the way to the High Line for a coffee to go. I asked if I could get an iced flat white, since I was in an espresso mood and they were able to do it for me. I love that the barista confirmed that it's basically just an iced latte with less milk. Why yes, that's exactly what I wanted! Coffee was solid and I appreciated that oat milk add-on was just 50 cents. I'm very used to the $1-$2 upcharge at most other places. read more

Great spot - i thought the espresso had a lovely roasty and unique flavor to it. The white choc oatmeal cookie was delicious! Will definitely stop by again if im in the area looking for a coffee read more

Yanni's is a locally-owned coffee shop in the Chelsea 'hood offers coffee and baked items. I had the mocha with whole milk, extra hot - it could have been more hot, but I enjoyed it so much, that I didn't really mind. This was super delicious, and probably one of the best mochas I've had! Staff could have been more acknowledging in terms of patrons coming in and taking orders; there was a slight lull at the cashier. There are only a handful of seating, but most get their items to go. Great caffeine pick-me-up if you're in the area. +mocha +limited seating read more

Cute Coffee Shop find here in the WS. Everyone was kind and patient with us, and the inside was small, light, and clean. We got iced vanilla lattes which I tasted it to be more on the sweeter side, and their butter croissants. The coffee itself was smooth and tasty and their croissants omg , we finished it in less than 5 minutes! Definitely recommend this place and need to come back! read more

This cafe is definitely slept on! Loved their coffee, but their choc chip cookie was an absolute SHOWSTOPPER. gooey on the inside and crispy outsides. The coffee shop is a little bit small, I want them to expand their location to a new and bigger one! I love this place and you should definitely try it. The barista's are so sweet and the general Vibe is a nice clean coffee shop with a surprisingly great cookie! read more

I came here recently with my friend to get coffee. There is limited seating-- just some counter seats along the perimeter of the cafe. I had a hot drip coffee and my friend had an iced dirty chai. Both drinks were good! read more

My only regret was not getting a cookie with my latte, which was great. It smelled absolutely incredible in there. It's a cozy spot with limited seating. I went at an off time in the afternoon and it was still pretty packed! A little expensive but worth it, and I'll be back again for that chocolate chip. read more

Ah! I love visiting locally-owned coffee shops and this one is such a cute little place that I will def visit again. Of course I ordered a caramel latte (Starbucks girl here) and the barista nicely explained how they serve theirs and offered me something similar that tasted amazing! I ended up staying to read my book for about 3hrs as I was waiting for a friend to arrive to Chelsea. Really enjoyed doing so, nobody bothered me and though it would get a little loud at times because a group would walk in, the place is actually quite cozy. read more

Honestly I was pretty disappointed in my coffee. I'd been wanting to try this place for months, so it's sad to admit. I got a vanilla latte with oat milk and it was just bad. We are talking two extra costs to change the latte to what I wanted it to be and it still tasted bad. The espresso is not good and I don't know what vanilla they out in there but the coffee didn't taste like vanilla and had a horrible after taste. I will not be spending over $7 for a latte here again. read more

Delicious oat milk latte! It's hard to describe, but either the espresso or the oat milk they use has an almost nuttier or umami flavor to it (the closest thing I can say is seaweed for sushi but it doesn't taste like seaweed haha) It's a small and cute shop, with bar seating. Not busy, got my coffee fast. Would recommend! read more

Got an iced latte for $5.99. It was fine but it didn't wow me and seemed very expensive. I personally prefer bluestone (milk tastes smoother). But I did like that the condiment bar inside had powdered cinnamon and liquid sweetener. They also had a good assortment of pastries including from Balthazar's. read more

Came here with a friend and our dogs to grab a coffee and cookie. Cute little place, friendly service, cappuccino was stellar, and the white chocolate oatmeal cookie was great. Benches outside to drink coffee, and small seating area on the inside. Would definitely stop by again when I'm in the neighborhood! read more

My coffee maker died this morning so I decided to try this place because of all the good reviews. All I can say is $4 for a medium sized coffee which is low on flavor and very acidic will keep me out of here. I miss my Starbucks across the street which was a casualty of the pandemic. My mind is boggled by the 5 star reviews here. I'm so glad my new coffee maker will be delivered tomorrow. Thanks, Amazon. read more

Small, straight forward clean minimalistic little coffee shop. Their coffee is their focus & they do a fabulous job. I had their iced latte & it was DELISH. High quality beans & knowledgeable at roasting. They have a small selection of bakery items. Service is fast. Staff are courteous & efficient. They have a frequent purchase coffee program with the 12th one gratis. Definitely RECOMMENDED. read more

Great spot to grab a coffee and do some work! Was looking for a spot to sit down and do a little work and came across this cafe. Their coffee was really good ( got an iced almond milk latte) and they had a lot of bar style seating with wifi and outlets. Seated is definitely limited so might be hard to snag a seat on the weekend or other busy times. Only got coffee but they had a lot of tasty looking pastries if u want something to snack on as well! read more

This is maybe my third review ever but I'm compelled to write because Yanni's makes an excellent cup of coffee!. It's amazing how few coffee shops can accomplish this. They even added steamed milk and sugar which never happens. My wife had a latte that she also loved. read more
