Third Rail Coffee New York Reviews
Fun place to relax and have a snack. Friendly staff. Great drinks. Nice muffins
Cozy and perfect for a chat with a friend
Found this small coffee shop while visiting nearby Washington Square Park. The solo worker managed the crowds like a champ, was friendly, and made a great espresso!
Easily my favorite coffee shop in the city. From the espresso, to the drip and cold brew, the Third Rail crew knows coffee and how to make folks feel at home. The pastries are incredible, if you can get in early enough to grab one, and the music is always on point.
Been coming here for years. Love the friendly baristas and delicious coffee and muffins!
The coziest of places with fast & friendly service! Plenty of menu options for its size. The hibiscus berry lemonade was terrific.
Grabbed a decaf Americano right before they closed one night. Very friendly service. Grab and go establishment; you couldn't park here and work.
Best expresso I’ve had in a while and I drink a lot of coffee. And a $4 awesome GF muffin to boot! Small and quaint, nice folks, nice music; what a treasure.
Amazing SMALL coffee place. Great coffee, nice staff, good music and atmosphere...
One of the best places for a quick coffee in the NYU neighborhood. They don’t allow people inside since covid but still worth stopping by for a quick brew. My favorite is their cold brew and the iced latte. Add some oat milk in there if that’s your style.
Such a sweet hipster coffee shop on the way to Washington square park. I got my regular oat milk latte and loved it . While waiting I had nice chat with the barista .
What I like about the Third Rail Coffee on Sullivan is the vibe. It has a very neighborhood feeling and more importantly, not the rushed feeling you get from many coffee houses in NYC. However, it is very small and seating can sometimes be a premium. The coffee is very good. I ordered latte and found the baristas knew what they were doing. Also, interesting place to people watch if you have the time.
Loved this coffee shop so much. The tea was excellent and the sun shines through the large windows, making the small space seem so much bigger. The view is actually nice with brick church and other nice architecture. Staff was super friendly and prices were very good. Wonderful vibe. It felt spacious, a great spot for reading or journaling or relaxing. Can’t wait to go back!!!
Small, but good seating for 1-2 people. Decent coffee and pastries.
Delicious vegan (& gluten free) pumpkin muffin. So good you can’t tell it’s gluten free! Decent prices but would be good for dairy free milks to be cheaper (they’re 1$).
Awesome coffee, I absolutely loved the overall vibe. Was actually pleasantly surprised how you can get such a good coffee just around the corner. There were a couple of small benches and tables infrint of the shop where you can sit and enjoy your morning coffee.
The coffee is good and this place has good prices in general. The only thing I didn’t get is the pumpkin-banana bread. The pumpkin bread itself is good and the banana thing is just not right. The venue is not so cool and it’s somewhat dirty outside. Also, the service could improve a lot.
Lovely place with nice interior, relaxed atmosphere, and good espresso. Furthermore you get nice sweet and salty delights, a pretty fast service, perfect latte art, mainly charming staff, no wifi, and high prices. In total: not a bad choice for a short coffee break, but there are better and less expensive stores just around the corner...
Coffee was fine, alright, nothing superb. Service was ok, nothing to complain, nothing to highlight. Sitting wasn’t too comfortable, if you’re just there for one coffee is fine though. Plus: there are some free books:)
Music is way too loud, baristas are not friendly and act as if they’re doing you a favor by serving you coffee. They take their time making your coffee and didn’t want to give me a for here cup at 4pm even though the shop closes at 5pm. Would not recommend!
