Good flavor to the flat white. No drip coffee was available. Tip: if you leave a review you might get a thank you free coffee email the next day (not advertised in store or elsewhere as an incentive, thankfully). Good barista art.

Delicious vanilla ginger latte in a mug with some beautiful latte art, ample outlets and seating as well as desk space, chill atmosphere with others working too, not much more you could ask for! (Besides a bathroom). Loved my time at Amano and would be back.

Very cute and modern atmosphere! Amano cafe has been on my list of coffee shops to try. I went with their French vanilla latte. It was amazing! On the sweeter side but I always prefer sweeter drinks. You can tell the employees take their time making the drinks and don’t rush the process. There’s some seating inside and outside, but it is small so there may be a chance all tables are taken. Overall good coffee and good atmosphere!

great cozy coffee spot. Everyone is so friendly. The iced vanilla latte and chocolate croissant was excellent! I like the food selection too and they have plenty of vegan options. Great for an afternoon pick me up and laptop friendly!

To say that Amano Cafe is a great coffee shop would be an understatement. With what must’ve been first-timer’s luck, all credit card terminals in the block suddenly stopped working. I didn’t have enough cash to pay for the coffee I just ordered. Someone at the counter noticed me scrambling to count what few coins I had and suddenly stopped me to say whatever I had was good - they’d take it and still make me a great cup of coffee nonetheless. It turns out that it was the owner, Ken, who offered to do so. Even when the terminals went back online, he politely refused any sort of additional payment. As a first timer in NYC, I’ve heard more bad things than good about this city. I think it’s important to mention these little good moments as well. The City has all its famous landmarks and sights, but it’s the people that make this place truly what it is. Of course as other reviewers have said, the coffee was really good. Make sure to give this place a visit! Pardon the long review; made this on my own to show appreciation.

My favorite coffee shop yet. The rocket fuel on tap is seriously the best coffee I’ve ever had. I don’t know how they do it but it’s the perfect fast with a little froth on top. They have loads of indoor and outdoor seating so it’s a great place to work. The staff is super friendly and they okay great tunes. I’ve don’t some serious damage on the rewards system they have lol.

Great specialty coffee / espresso program and incredible people watching corner in the west village! I had a blast by myself one morning spending time enjoying the weather and reading a book feeling like a local to NYC. They also have a stunning selection of pastries that are healthy and quick. Don't tell the tourists about this spot! ;)

You won’t believe how amazing the croissants are here! They’re so buttery and flaky—just perfect. I also gave their vegan muffin a try, and I was really impressed; it was incredibly moist and tasty! Every time I visit, the pastry case is packed with tempting treats that all look so high-quality. Can't wait to go back!

I was visiting from out of state and only needed four things: good coffee, wifi, a power outlet, and a bathroom. Three out of four isn’t bad—no bathroom. After popping in and out of a couple of other pretty busy coffee shops around Washington Square, I was glad to find Amano. It’s a nice, low-key spot with plenty of seating that gave me a great start to my first day in NYC.

*Visit on May 14th, 2024* First time trying Amano’s at Greenwich Village! I have been meaning to pass by before the end of the academic year. As a student in the neighborhood, this coffee shop has been peaking my curiosity. I was aware coming in that the prices of the coffee shop were higher than other coffee shops in the neighborhood. My ministry friends shared that they’d tried a pour over and the price was around $8. That being said, it’s important to be aware of the prices coming in to not be surprised. For a cappuccino, a Cortado, and a banana bread the total was around $19. (Not student budget friendly, but fine for a once in a while treat.) The cappuccino was great! I think they used Devocion beans, and the taste was great. The milk was steamed just right, and I genuinely enjoyed my cappuccino. 🤗 plus, it was obviously cute. (Pic below) The sis said the Cortado was fine as well. So for a once in a while treat, I enjoyed my time and food here. The banana bread would probably be where I found a bit of a shortcoming. It was decent but a bit dry. Lastly, enjoyed the porcelain mugs where the beverages were served at. 😌

Cafe on the way, on my Sunday coffee hour and I was glad the Amano Cafe was on the way. Coffee taste good with small potion and trendy customers. There are seats inside and the ambiance was good and warm welcome. Even the barista wasn't able to give me exactly what I want but he still give me a good coffee.

I visited Amano Café and ordered a matcha latte and an iced latte. Unfortunately, I didn’t enjoy the matcha latte it didn’t taste very good, and the matcha itself seemed to be of low quality. I had asked for honey as a sweetener, but they gave me syrup instead, which was disappointing. They also had some gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free pastries, which initially caught my interest. However, the ingredients weren’t listed, so I politely asked what they were sweetened with since I try to avoid processed sugars. The barista, a man, seemed annoyed by the question and responded with attitude, saying they used coconut sugar. Overall, between the poor drink quality and the lack of courteous customer service, I don’t think I would return to this café
