Hi all,
my wife and I arrive in NYC in just under two weeks (very excited!!). We are massive coffee lovers and are wondering where you would recommend for a good cup of NYC coffee? We%26#39;re looking for the less commercial/chain type places (eg, not Starbucks).
We%26#39;ll be staying at the Hilton Garden Inn on West 35th (between 5th and 6th Aves).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!!
Good Cup of Joe
I asked this a while ago and started a search. As of now, I have some faves:
1. Ninth Street

They also have a small bar nearer to you indoors at Chelsea Market: 9 %26amp; 10 Ave/W. 15-16 St. Fun place to visit.

2. A new place that opened on Greenwich Ave and W. 11 (next to Two Boots Pizza) that has a really novel idea that grinds and makes each cup to order through vacuum tubes overhead. the coffee is very good. I can%26#39;t recall the name.
3. City Bakery on W. 18th St is interesting and has good coffee.

Also, there are many other good coffee places and I suggest if you can order it in advance you get a book called Cafe Life New York: A Insiders Guide to the City%26#39;s Neighborhood Cafes by Sandy Miller. I got it online but also saw it in Barnes %26amp; Nobles here in NYC. It has photos and discussions about some of the best.
Another thing - in the summer, iced coffee is ';it'; and everyone walks around with a cup of iced coffee. I am addicted. Don%26#39;t know if it is big in Australia - when I ordered iced coffee in Germany, they gave me coffee with ice cream!

the Bermuda Triangle of NYC%26#39;s best coffee...
Grumpy%26#39;s on West 20th between 7th and 8th. Joe The Art of Coffee on 23rd just west of 9th (they also have those great donuts from the place on the LES I wouldnt schlep to for a donut) and the coffee place in Chelsea Market.
Well Starbucks is certainly our choice either - however we consistently find that Dunkin Donuts has the best coffee around and they have outlets all over the City. We go so fat to ask how fresh the pit is and if looks low we ask for a fresh one to be brewed - most times no worries.
Even though it%26#39;s a chain, DD has good coffee.

That should be Starbucks is NOT our choice.....!!
Thanks guys, really appreciate the suggestions. Looks like we%26#39;ll definitely be trying multiple places. Will try to let you know what this Aussie from Perth thinks of NYC coffee!
Less than two weeks till we arrive...seriously excited now!!!!
