Coffee Shops Below 14th Street

Amy 🍦: Summer: small iced coffee with milk and a little sugar; Winter: small coffee with milk and half a sugar

Amy 🍦: The two benches outside are ideal for people watching.

Amy 🍦: Hang out here to get away from the SoHo crowds. Line moves fast.

Amy 🍦: Small, bright space; a tad expensive given that you're practically at La Colombe

Amy 🍦: Stop here for some excellent coffee when walking from Soho to Chinatown (or the other way round)

Amy 🍦: A coffee shop with a liquor license - they keep you "hydrated" all day

Amy 🍦: Free copies of the New York Times (bound to sticks of bamboo!)

Jorge Ortiz: Sit by the bench facing the window and people watch.

Amy 🍦: Big windows, fast wifi, good tunes

Sarah Serpas: This has to have the best address in Manhattan. 123 4th Ave? The Count from Sesame Street should live here.

Nick Hook: Bow down

The Corcoran Group: Can’t find the Mud Truck, but are craving an Iced Almond Latte or a Mint Mochaccino, then grab a seat at their café – especially in the outdoor patio.

Amy 🍦: Delicious croissants and macarons from Francois Payard Bakery go well with the coffee.

Food & Wine: Owner Jack Mazzola invented a brewing machine that continuously stirs grounds as they're mixed with hot water, resulting in a brighter, less bitter cup.

Christen Duong: Come early for an awesome assortment of Doughnut Plant doughnuts

The Corcoran Group: Little coffee house serving delicious, smokey and memorable brews. Great place to hang out with your laptop and enjoy a cup and a yummy pastry.

Adam Geiger: Cold brew + mighty muffin is a great way to start the day. Also, Jack's opens at 6:30 for any fellow early birds that like starting their day with a delicious cup of joe.
