Best coffee I ever had. Very nice people, great service, best taste literally deserving more than five stars.⭐️

Delightful latte and able to accommodate when they didn’t have exactly what I normally drink. Barista thought on the fly to make me a great alternate solution. Will definitely be coming back!

Cool, hip coffee shop with really great tasting coffee. Love the vibe inside

I have become friends with the precious Amanda! Not just their coffee is a A+ Also their atmosphere is lovely. 👌🏼 I just wish they would open up earlier 🥴

Amy is the kindest as best barista. Very interesting, too. Plus, the coffee is probably my favorite in the city.

Damn…the cortado was so good. It was also about double the price of a cortado from back home so maybe that’s just normal New York prices? Or the price of being that good 🤷‍♀️

Great coffee and friendly staff. If you don't know what you want they will not let you down with suggestions. I recommend a virgin Irish coffee, it's on the secret menu.

Good coffee and choice of pour over beans with firendly and knowledgeable staff. They have a really nice Ethiopian espresso if your into that as well.

Honestly my favourite coffee place in New York.

Went in for an expresso and tonic water. It was late and they were out of tonic water so the barista gave me a card to redeem for a free coffee the next day. Pretty awesome, thanks!

The chocolate babka is the hero Gotham needs.

The only coffee place I found with Ethiopean beans (for those who prefer it over Brazil) nice place and good coffee (Oat milk) ☕️

I ordered an iced latte with almond milk. It was good, no complaints there. It’s a small place so there’s limiting seating inside. And the tables outside are on a slant. It’s a good place to grab a drink on the go.

I had to write this review, considering how awesome the folks are at Gotham Coffee Roasters. We actually received their variety pack as a gift from a friend of ours. Our friend didn't know, however, that as much as I love coffee and have consumed it for many years, I was forced to switch to decaf due to the negative effects caffeine started to have on me. As a result we had 3 bags of what looked to be incredible roasts, but sadly I could not partake in them. My wife (does not drink coffee just me) suggested that we give them a call and see if something could be worked out (we live out of state). Well, as soon as we called it was clear that Gotham Coffee Roasters is 100% focused on taking care of their customers. Speaking with Marcus and then Jagger, they worked out with Andrew to ship me their decaf replacements at no cost. There was no fuss, no hassle just complete consideration and kindness, looking to do whatever they could to make sure I was happy and could enjoy their coffee. I am so appreciative and truly thank Gotham Coffee Roasters for taking care of me - Thank you Andrew, Jagger and Marcus.

Had a yummy macchiato & chai on oat milk, lovely lady barista ☕️

Enjoyed an Espresso Tonic on. Really hot day. Barista was very helpful in choosing a bag of beans.

If you need a great cup of coffee in NYC then come here

Great coffee and chai, love the cortado and espresso soda, and the baristas who work there are delightful humans

I came here just because of the weirdly funny creative previous review. Any coffee shop that inspires a story like that must be pretty good. Did not disappoint! The barista was really nice and the coffee was great! It’s also close to the Union sq farmers market which is a plus. I’ll def come back. :)

Perfect mocha with subtle notes of dark chocolate! Love the ambiance, a little small, but cozy.

Went by today cause a friend said they were good and I’m still newish to NY. Didn’t get catch the employees name but she was so friendly and knowledgeable. I was looking to buy some whole beans as well and she let my taste test my options which was so kind. Coffee was awesome as well, looking forward to heading back to try some more!

Came here after reading that people's experiences were very consistent. Those reviews did not lie. I watched the barista tare out the portafilters, weigh grounds, and consistently tamp both doubles I ordered. The shots were great and had good acidity (got a single origin Ethiopian). Will be back next time I'm in the neighborhood.

The coffee is excellent and the service was very friendly + quick. I did not try any of the food.

The best Iced Mocha I've ever had! Photos don't do justice, you just gotta go and try this place. I've come to the realization that junk coffee establishments will not survive in NYC because the competition is fierce.

This coffee shop is a hidden gem. This place is worth visiting if you need a cozy and comfy ambiance. The coffees and pasties here are of good quality at a very affordable price. It is a lovely place with a warm and welcoming staff around you that are ready to accommodate all your needs. I highly recommend this place to everyone.

Amazing service. They just gave me a free cafe for making a small mistake. I didn’t expected that at all. Very nice cafe crew. Thank you, it was pleasant experience.

I just order the regular, already made coffee and every time without fail it is delicious. Expertly made and full of rich and vibrant flavors. Ok every so often I do order the off-menu flat white and it is one of the best I have had in the city.

After multiple visits I’m pleased to report this is the best and most consistent specialty coffee I’ve found in NYC. Full marks and my thanks to the female staff member who was friendly & engaging. If you’re feeling particularly indulgent, ‘Dough’ doughnuts is diagonally opposite 😈

It's the only Cafe I buy coffee from. Many options in the area but income for a consistent delicious cup of coffee. Not to mention a staff that knows their customers and treats everyone with kindness.

Best coffee in NYC. I drink 5-6 cups a day. Good variety of beans. Goes well with a espresso martini. Or a book before a roaring fire. Thanks team. I miss Pat

Great coffee around the area. Not packed in the morning so you can easily grab a quick drink here.

Not easy to find good methods of brewing coffee in NYC. The Pour Over here is amazing. They also have Chemex. Awesome!

Two rarities in NYC - pour over & vegan baked goods. Gotham Coffee Roasters has both! I originally sought out the pour over and was so happy to see vegan bread and cookie options amongst other non-vegan baked goods. Happy to be able to sit and enjoy at one of the handful of tables. I’ll definitely be back. Thank you, Gotham Coffee Roasters!!

Great coffee, great music and a small, friendly space. Nice oasis in the midst of the NYC bustle.

Great coffee shop in Manhattan, delicious beverage; however, the place is tiny and can easily get packed. Make sure to get there early !

Cute little coffee shop with great seating! Highly recommend the oat milk chai.

Matcha was good, not bitter at all, and the pumpkin bread was super tasty. The service was fast and the baristas were nice!

Very fresh bakery and tasty coffee, their coffee beans are very high quality which is making their coffee very smooth and tasty.(their prices are very fair to the quality they are providing which is not common to see now days sadly) Will visit soon again! Btw , thanks for making my coffee quickly even it was 4 shots!

Finding good coffee in the city is one of my favorite things to do and after finding this place on Instagram I knew I had to check them out. The interior of the cafe is a bit small but has a very cozy atmosphere. The baristas were nice and not too busy. I asked for a pour over and was expecting a cup but was given a carafe which allowed me to enjoy the coffee more. The single origin Colombian coffee was delicious and very clear. Overall a great coffee roaster from New York. Colombia Pour Over served in a Hario carafe

Super nice small coffee shop. Had the best espresso of NYC here. (Pictured js my girlfirends oat latte which also was very nice) So had to go back a second time before we left.

Lovely coffee shop. Great selection. Amazing polenta cake. Friendly staff. Get to Gotham!

One of the best flat whites I have ever had. Top of line coffee beans and service. Wish I found this place earlier.

Delicious coffee, and very kind team — highly recommend stopping by. Thank you! ☕️

Small but excellent coffee shop. Nice selection of hot and cold drinks, solid soundtrack. Nice place to spend a couple of hours writing.

Love this place! Gotham Coffee Roasters has amazing coffee, super smooth and flavorful. Cozy NYC vibes, friendly baristas, and perfect for a quick coffee break or chill time. Definitely coming back! 💛☕

Solid espresso. They have some indoor and outdoor seating!

I’ve come here several times after running errands in the neighborhood over the last two years. Sometimes I think cafes are good, but it’s actually just that one barista. I can confirm today that all the baristas are excellent, meaning this place has a legit coffee program. Not once have I received a burnt espresso, or the feeling I can make this better at home. A1 to this team!

Tiffany Wong

Cute authentic spot for a strong cup of coffee, New York Chocolate Babka and a decadent chocolate bar. Will definitely be saving as an off the beaten path hideaway.

Kaju

Basic coffee shop. They've got a very standard menu espresso menu, but have no syrups or flavoring for their drinks other than simple syrup or honey. Still, the latte with simple syrup was very good and the place is a good spot to sit and read a book. Edit: Went back and tried their matcha. Good stuff!

Angel

I would go here everyday if I lived closer. Thank you to the handsome barista with the glasses for a wonderful matcha latte with oat milk. Great options for vegans, great coffee! I bought some to take home and prepare in my french press.

Richard W

Gotham’s known for having darker roasts than what’s trendy among the “third wave cafes”. Dark roasts often destroy the beans’ character. Here the pourover tasted clean and complex with notes of tobacco and herbs. My initial thought was “this would pair wonderfully with a cigarette” even though I quit smoking years back.

Ben Calkins

Hands down the best coffee in all of New York! Gotham Coffee Roasters is a must visit for all real coffee drinkers. You will not be disappointed! I order all of my coffee beans for home from their website. It gets delivered directly to my door freshly roasted and unlike anything else I can find. So when I’m visiting New York I have to stop by their cafe. The space is small but mighty. If there is a line, it never lasts long as the baristas move quickly. There are only a handful of tables, but I always seem to find a seat to enjoy my coffee. Gotham Coffee is know for their high quality coffee beans from all over the world, perfectly roasted, and you can taste the difference. They have beans from Guatemala, Mexico, Colombia, and Ecuador. They have bags of whole beans available for purchase at the cafe as well. The staff are super knowledgeable and friendly as well. They also serve multiple milk alternatives which is nice. 5/5 stars, Gotham Coffee Roasters is true NYC coffee experience.

Alex Branning

The service is good, the spot is clean and the cinnamon babka is AMAZING. My daughter and I came here because of the name (nananananananana Batman) and we’ll be back for another coffee date. Highly recommend. My daughter gave the chocolate croissant a 👌🏻and the cappuccino was “mid” My mocha was good, but I think if used a different milk it would have been better.

Acacia Lawson

The perfect 4 shot iced latte is found here. The aftertaste of this coffee is the best. Come here only if you love coffee 💖 The service was quick and pleasant. The outdoor seating was nice to people watch and relax. We will be back 🙏🏼 (Only had coffee so can’t comment on the tasty looking pastries offered as we grabbed doughnuts across the street.)

Shannon

I loved how warm, tiny, and cozy this place was. I got a decaf latte with almond milk and I was pleased it tasted strongly like coffee, not just milk like lattes often do. Well done! Also an incredible (!!!) looking baked goods selection!

GCR offers a small, clean space with friendly staff and solid menu offerings. From interesting single-origin roasts, to specialty drinks like "the snakebite," there are both reliable and delightful options for the palette. Bespoke coffee, indeed.

Decent drip but the pastries are sad.

Pros: Great coffee. There is seating to hang and do some work. Nice staff. Cons: Space is not huge. A bit pricey.

Small place but really good coffee. I got a bag of Brooklyn Blend and it’s one of my favorite blend to date.

Solid iced coffee. Space is small, as expected, but cozy. It was filled with people at 825am and I was in and out in only a few minutes. Asked for cold brew after not seeing it on the printed menu, and the barista didn't bat an eye. Called it an iced coffee when placing the finished product on the counter for me to claim it. I drink my coffee black and this one has got a little coffee bite...borders on how I like my cold brew. The large thankfully comes in what I think may be a 20oz cup. Whatever it is, it's more product than most of the other shops in NYC offer as a large. Pricing is good when this is considered. $4.50 before tip. Competitive. I'll definitely stop in in the future to dabble in something else or just to grab another iced coffee. Bonus - some of their specialty menu items sound enticing - snake bite is espresso poured over dark chocolate. YUM.

Super friendly girl took and made my order. Small (cozy?) place. 4 small round tables; sits 8, 10 would be pushing max. 4 outlets and 4 USB plugs, though I'm not sure about wifi. The place is fairly new and still looks it. Been back a few times. Staff is always nice. Cold brew is good. Espresso drinks are good. Never fond of how much places charge for non dairy milks. Just fyi: it's 50 cents for Pacific soy or unsweetened Almond Breeze almond; $1 for Califia barista almond.

I came here for a quick latte to go and the staff was super nice and friendly. I only waited a few minutes to get it. The price of the latte was pretty standard NYC price too. I’d come back here if I was in this area.

I'm sorry Gotham... The coffee is smooth and pretty but IMHO... lacks a punch. That Ooomph that you need to feel when you have that first coffee is missing. I had a cafe Mocha... The coffee is supposed to be the Star not outshined by the cocoa.

Coffee tastes really good. Could have been stronger but the flavors were nice. No up-charge for almond milk.

Coffee is good especially the refreshing espresso tonic. Aside from that i do wished they could use less paper and plastic cups for drinking in. Its time to use less of those.

Ellen

Flat white was a bit bitter - strong coffee flavor but not smooth. There is no Wi-Fi.

Kevin Chen

Niche shop with a very quiet vibe against the background music. There’s a selection of coffee beans, coffee makers, and assorted goods for sale on the side and comfortable seating while you wait for coffee or relax.

Kate

This is a small caffe with little tables for two. I came on Saturday and half the tables were empty. Unfortunately they don’t have WIFI. The coffee is quite tasty.

Julia H

Coffee was great, without doubt. I appreciate their professions and offering different kinds of beans to make drinks. But same as some comments I found here, some staff were cool with their professionalism to talk to costumers. My ☕️🥛✨cappuccino was really creamy, balanced. Nothing to complain. Also my first time trying polenta cake which was an item they got from bakery outside. It was too dry for me so I won’t recommend.

Jenny Leibowitz

I stumbled upon this incredible spot a few months ago and now I go as often as I can. They make a reliably strong, well-poured, and flavorful latte. The friendliness of employees can be hit or miss but today they were wonderful! The only cons: no bathroom and no wifi. I love you guys!

Eric Mishne

Great stop. Small as in lost NYC cafes, but I was able to get a spot outside. The oatmilk cappuccino was very good! The pistachio scone was tasty, but a bit dry to my taste. Friendly barista. 9/10 would do again.

Inna Z

My cappuccino was good but the place is tiny. We had no room to stand while waiting for my coffee. They have one barista so it takes a long time. We visited in the afternoon. I imagine it gets even busier in the morning. They have few tables that were packed. They take Ritual app.

+8

Good cappuccino. I wouldn't recommend getting pastries though, especially in warmer weather - there was an explosion of bugs when the barista picked up the pastry

I ordered cappuccino/oat milk. It was not special but not bad. Little bit strong. That’s good for morning. They has few tables and chairs inside and outside. You can stay relaxed but I think no wifi.

The service was great, however we were a bit disappointed with the end result. My partner cafe au lait was not really like a latte, and it was quite watery. I personally enjoyed my oat milk cafe, but it had a bitter after taste.

Vibe was very nice, latte art on point. Matcha was what was needed to keep us going, and they knocked it out of the park. Coffee was a little over-priced, but it's in the flatiron district so we get it.

not the best coffe, not the friendliest crew. almond croissant is nice though.

Neat little coffee shop. Cappuccino looked great. But coffee was cold and the walnut bread cold & hard.

Mocha tastes like watered down hot cocoa - worth a skip

Zita Bee

Very friendly staff! Almond cap was fine, however a little too strong in taste due to the mixture of milk and coffee. Also, my cup was not filled up at all, although the pricing is comparable to other shops that actually fill the cup size. Espresso is very good.

It is not a friendly place to sit. The coffee quality is great but that's it. Pastries look great but cannot heat them, there is no toilet for clients.

After reading all the positive reviews I was surprised to encounter an unprofessional barista with attitude. Very average coffee. I assume positive reviews are on a different barista.

Very unfriendly barista unfortunately because drinks were good - xenophobic because a tourist was trying to order something and struggling with language

I went there to have an espresso after lunch and unfortunately the espresso was quite disappointing. It was very bitter and even sour. My guest's lips were puckering. I'm not sure that the baristas are tasting their product. I would recommend going to Pasta Eater a block away for a better shot of espresso instead (they're Italian).

They didn’t have a microwave or oven to heat my cheese croissant :(

No wifi no bathroom decent latte but overpriced for the area

R Money

Nice shop mid block but watch out they charged me for a large and game me a small. as I was sitting outside I heard someone else complain about the same thing $7.50 for a small later plus tip.

The As a reviewer in the top 10% of all coffee contributors on this platform, I rarely have to write a review of this nature, but the experience I had today was fundamentally unacceptable for a specialty roastery of this caliber. I visited Gotham Coffee Roasters on February 15th and placed an order between 1:00 PM and 1:30 PM. I was specifically looking forward to a Brazilian pour-over and requested it for "here." When I ordered, the barista explicitly told me it would be about a 10-minute wait. I told her that was "no problem" and sat down to catch up on emails. I then sat there for 30 minutes. It eventually became clear that the staff—two employees who seemed completely absent-minded—had simply never placed the order into the system. Despite being "in process" with other tasks, they completely forgot my existence. After waiting three times the estimated duration, I had to ask for a refund, which was processed on-site. For the owner/manager: You can easily track this incident in your POS system for Feb 15th between 1:00 PM – 1:30 PM; you will see the specific transaction and the subsequent refund. I value the craft of specialty coffee, and Gotham usually has a reputation for quality. However, as a high-level reviewer, I have to be honest: you have one job in a service environment, and failing to even input an order while a customer sits in plain sight for half an hour is a major breakdown in basic operations. I hope this serves as a necessary coaching moment for the team on shift.

Tyler Beasley

I heard really good things and the coffee was the best, I got an ice latte, and it was one of the best I had in all of nyc, but my service was not great unfortunately, the cashier was lovely but the young lady who prepared my drink was kind of rude unnecessarily. The 2 customers before me she gave them their drink, smiled, told them to have a good day and when it was time for me to get mine, I asked her how her day was and was ignored, she put my drink down and didn’t say what it was, I had to ask her was that mine drink as it was other people in the store so I was unaware, I told her thank you and have a good day and was responded with a subtle hand wave.

Alexi Novakov

I would avoid this place. In the half-hour that I was there I witnessed such chaos. After placing my order, I noticed there were two other customers waiting for their order. It appeared that they ordered the same drink, since the barista made the same drink twice, but the second customer corrected the barista, she ordered a decaf oat latte, but was almost poisoned with a regular milk latte. Next it was time for my order, but the barista and the cashier were so distracted by the mishap that they forgot about it. About the same time a group of people came and placed their order, when I saw them receive their orders, I knew they forgot about me. When I approached the barista, she didn't apologize, just cursed under her breath, luckily a few people from that group ordered an iced Americano as well, so they gave me one that they were making. The coffee was decent.
