New York City isn't called the city that never sleeps for no reason
Coffee culture and New York culture are synonymous. Whether you're running through Midtown for meetings or taking a stroll through Williamsburg, a cup of joe in hand is necessary to look the part. At any turn of a corner you could find either a bodega for a quick grab-and-go coffee, a quaint little shop offering seasonal lattes or a more spacious coffee shop that roasts its beans on site to deliver the finest and the freshest of third-wave coffee.
Among all those options are a few gems that stand out. Here are some of the best and unique coffee shops to try on your next trip to the Big Apple:
1. Urban Backyard
This environmentally-conscious cafe may be the cutest coffee shop you’ll stumble upon in Nolita. As if its earthy and vintage aesthetic wasn’t Instagrammable enough, its fragrant lattes—which include flavours such as lavender, rose, ube and turmeric—are also Insta-worthy. Inside, you’ll find luscious plants, eco-friendly products and messages promoting sustainability on the walls. Space is limited (there are only two tables inside) but there is a little stool outside to sit on if weather permits.
Tatler Tip: Have a flower or succulent icing cupcake (made in-house) with your latte. But come early, they sell out quickly!
