A Guide Of The Best Coffee In NYC
New York City has some pretty amazing coffee. It was not always this way, however. In recent years, many small time artisan coffee shops have found their way to the Big Apple and are thriving with their bean business.
The following are some of the best places to get a cup of coffee in New York City right now.
I would be remiss to create a list of my favorite coffee spots and not mention the coffee at Abraco. This is serious stuff. You can get a slow drip coffee here, a process in which the beans are funneled through a cone and, well, drips slowly into your cup. They also have some of the best pastries in town.
Located on Lafayette Street down in SoHo is Philadelphia's own La Colombe Torrefaction. This place has my favorite iced coffee in the city hands down. They make it special here by adding a shot of espresso to your iced coffee.
Ground Support is another downtown Coffee Shop that I really like. Located in the western part of SoHo this place has a great vibe and also serves great food, a rarity amongst coffee shops in general.
A coffee shop that has been getting a ton of great press recently is the new establishment Blue Bottle Coffee in Brooklyn. This place is an offshoot of the San Francisco chain, and we are glad they decided to come over to the East coast. This place is fantastic.
When I want a strong cup of coffee to keep me awake all day, I go to the Mud Truck. You can't miss this big orange truck parked daily at Astor Place. This stuff is really strong, so be careful if you are sensitive to good coffee.
As it stands, this is my list of the best of the best. But with so many to choose from these days, one wonders what other great places we will see over the next few years.
