Best Coffee in NYC
This is hands down the best coffee in NYC. It is a tiny place, but it has a great vibe.

Embrace in Portuguese
This is by far the most amazing coffee in NYC or anywhere else. The name of the shop means "embrace" in Portugese - and that's just what you should do. Go in to the small space, order the individual drip that is ground and made to order, or the espresso or just anything else. It will be delicious and you will enjoy it because there is a lot of love put into each cup. Definitely the best coffee place in NYC.

Best coffee I've ever had period.
I never knew it could be possible to enjoy the lingering taste of coffee hours after drinking it. Usually I pop a mint or a stick of gum to counteract the inevitable bitter taste, but I found myself relishing that excellent latte for a couple of hours. Who knew?

Best cappuccino....ever.
I freelance from home in the East Village and even though I have fantastic coffee beans from the Porto Rico shop IN the house, I get up and walk 4 blocks over to Abraco for a cappuccino. It is simply the best one I've EVER had (in my 46 years.) The people there are very friendly and hopefully they will be rewarded for their efforts by making enough money to expand. Note: The good music you hear in the store is vinyl, playing off a turntable.....how cool is THAT?

Get Your Caffeine Fix Here
This is one of the few remaining eclectic places in the East Village. Great coffee and espresso- and the people who work there are terrificeven though it is smaller than most New york kitchens (and that is not saying much) the people who work there make you want to stay and sip your drink and eat a pastry. However, if you need a vente decaf skim . . . go someplace else. Caffeine phobic people need not apply.

the best coffee in manhattan
there is no better coffee in manhattan. there might not be better coffee anywhere. as a former west coaster i was used to the likes of peets and blue bottle coffee. this place surpasses those by far. also the baked goods are delish.

Great espresso
Really great espresso, though I haven't tried the food yet. It's the type of little neighborhood joint with a friendly proprietor that makes you glad you live in lower Manhattan. I've always been a big coffee drinker but this place has me addicted and now I get a macchiato almost every day.
