As someone who used to go to Roasting Plant in London, I didn’t realise I’d wandered into their original location — a quiet little full-circle moment I didn’t expect. Still excellent.

delicious coffee - I have never seen a coffee shop where you can choose your desired coffee bean! Can definitely recommend the roasted vanilla coffee 🫶🏻

Loved this coffee spot – great that you can choose your beans. The flat white had the perfect coffee-to-milk ratio with a smooth, creamy texture. The barista is super friendly and brightened up my morning.

If you want a bold, non acidic and non sour coffee (so hard to find) come here! They have different profile coffees to choose from. Just moved into the neighborhood and this is by far my favorite so far. Non of this hipster coffee 🤌🙌

From the moment we opened the door to the cafe and the aroma of roasted coffee hit our noses, we were sold! The freshly roasted coffee and the scrumptious pastries were exquisite! The customer service was top of the line-kind, courteous and joyful-made us feel welcome and it was a great start to our morning! Will definitely come again when we’re back in NYC.

You're in for a treat with the best iced coffee in town! I opted for a dark roast, which was both freshly roasted and ground. What makes it even better is that a cold machine is used to chill the coffee, resulting in a drink that's strong, flavorful, and incredibly delicious.

It was such a fun experience to be there. You get to see how the coffee is roasted as they’re making your order. It’s almost like Willy Wonka experience for coffee nerds. The coffee itself is super good and the service was great too. 10/10

The freshest beans and most impressive roasting in New York on an hourly/daily basis! Shout out to Monica for being a stellar ambassador for the brand and for explaining the exciting varietals and roasting philosophy. Truly delicious coffee with a positive social impact mission and impressive intentional design. It is so neat to see the roaster in action, the tubes with beans overhead, the degassing function, and all the equipment for the best cup of ☕. They even have a FlashChiller for exceptional cold brews and iced coffees. It's so special to see this kind of small business in action and to know they're looking to support women-owned coffee farms globally. Keep up the excellent work and thank you! 🥰🙏🏼✨

The Best Iced Coffee in the city! I have chosen a dark roast, Sumatra, freshly roasted and ground. The coffee is cooled using a cool contraption. The iced coffee was strong, tasty, and incredibly delicious.

I was so happy to find this coffee shop while at Orchard Grocer (they're the ones that recommended it!) The staff were very friendly and explained their different beans based on what I was in the mood for as a coffee noob, and their iced coffee process. They brew the coffee hot (as it should be) and rapidly chill it with a cool contraption. It was an absolutely delicious coffee. Had to pass by every day of my trip! I also love the vacuum tubes to carry the beans directly into the machines. Definitely recommend!

Such a sweet and professional coffeeshop in lower East side . Their coffee is amazing . I for the oat milk latte Andy friend got ice almond latte. I’m not sure what oat their using (I don’t think it was oatly) but my friend loved her almond latte (I think they used pacific ). The barista was super nice and friendly.

Probably one of the best coffee places in NYC. We traveled all the way from UWS to get coffee here. We ordered an americano and a flat white. Both extremely good.

Cool live roasting. The beans are medium or medium dark roast, but I'm biased and only like light roast. They let me have a small taste before I committed to buying anything, which I appreciate. I did not end up buying anything.

Special concept! Roasting Plant roasts everything onsite, brews each cup to order, and shows the beans in their fancy tubes. There’s 7 hoppers of different beans from all over the world. Each coffee drink is brewed fresh, which is rare for drip coffee. You can see and hear the beans shoot from the hopper through the tubes into the machine. Cool experience! The barista was kind enough to let me sample a few different beans. You can get any of the beans brewed fresh as drip coffee. Freshly roasted, freshly brewed. The coffee? The drip coffee was solid, but not as strong in aroma or taste as a pourover or something I would’ve expected. Solid coffee. The space is nothing special: lacks indoor seating, and has one table outside. Super cool watching the coffee beans roast! Management should consider making the space for homey to hang-our in with additional seating. Drip coffee score: 4/5. Everything else score: 3.5/5. Overall score: 3.75/5.

I had super delicious latte with almond milk, but expensive (almost $6 for a small one) Customer service on my visit was also quite poor, slow and indifferent. Wouldn’t consider as every-day-go-to-spot, but more like a treat. Place is very tiny, so it’s grub-n-go style.

I love a cafe that you could pick the beans!! But I was a bit disappointed with the Jamaica Blue Mountain that cost an extra $3 for an already expensive latte ($9 total), which I would have been happy to pay for but it wasn’t particularly worth the money. I’ve been to other cafes that serve the same bean for a similar taste for much. Also, they served a really small cup. Like $9 for a small latte?

Drinks were alright, not the best we’ve had in the city. The barista was quite standoffish when we tried to exchange pleasant conversation - hostility is not necessary if you’re working in a coffee shop, please improve your customer service. Made us regret leaving a tip.

I love the coffee and the staff here, but the owners apparently do not care to take care of either because they haven’t fixed the lack of air conditioning at this location that has been ongoing for a while. It’s really unpleasant to go inside a space that is so hot, and it has to be quite uncomfortable for the staff to work in. The two stars I give are for the quality of the coffee and friendliness of the employees, but the deductions are warranted given the poor environment.

Grace Zhang

LOVE the coffee and the people working here are so friendly. Would give 5 stars but in the past few weeks it's been incredibly hot in the shop, especially when beans are roasting. It's difficult being in the store, I don't know how the baristas work all day in that environment...

They don’t respect customers at all. Went in about an hour before closing, and the barista (Sept 1, ~4pm) said she’s on a break for the next 30 minutes, and you could not buy anything, while talking to her friend at the door. So, I had to leave and will never go back. That’s not how you run a successful business. Very rude and disrespectful.
