Gimme! Coffee
“But I needed something to warm myself up while I walked the streets of Nolita and Gimme!”
“This is a grab it and go place, no indoor seating, just a little hole in the wall with a bench or two outside.”
“If the designs in the lattes aren't enough to tempt you to taste, the exotic self serve coffee will be!”

People watch and caffeinate thyself.
I stopped in here during a slow morning. There, Carl[1] and Renee educated me while I hung out. Trivial Pursuit cards were involved.
Like espresso? Get the Honduras Las Peñitas ($3; credit accepted) – it comes with seltzer – and you'll be woken the hell up in the gentlest way possible.
This coffee shop has a charming view of the street[2], and you can relax outside with a good book. There's a bench and tree that you can make friends with.
[1] Is it Carl with a C or Karl with a K?
[2] It sounds awkward, but no matter how many times I re-wrote the sentence, this place really does have a charming view of the street.
Nothing could beat a large glass of cold brew after a lengthy run in the city! I felt like every single cell of my body has been energized!
Secretly hidden in the middle of NoLita, Gimme! definitely carries one of the best single origins here in the city. And the little old-fashion type of ambience definitely added on top of it! My barista was super helpful and introduced me the variety of coffees – totally love it!
I only wish Gimme! could be a bit larger in space so that I could sip my cold brew inside while viewing the better part of New York City downtown. Nicely done!
Good coffee… high energy baristas, cool neighborhood. What more can you ask for…

I don't know if the cappuccino that I had yesterday was that bad, but this place had amazing coffee and fantastic service. I had a cappuccino to stay in their personally branded cups. The Coffee was flavorful, the milk was sweet, foam was frothy, and everything was in perfect proportion. The lady behind the counter was friendly. Its small place without any indoor seating but there were a couple benches outside.
I cannot wait to go back.
I used to go to Gimme! Coffee in my college days and could not help go to Gimme! Coffee to kill time off my one hour wait for a brunch spot. I had not yet caffeinated up, in other words, not awake enough to be social.
So I walked in here with my friends and ordered a drip coffee. They had 2 varieties of drip coffee to choose from, with descriptions of both. That was pretty cool because when you order drip coffee, its usually boring drip coffee. You don't always get to choose the beans.
The coffee was good. The guys working there are extremely friendly!
Gimme! Coffee!
Came here on the earlier side on a Sunday so it was not too busy. The people working there were lovely and clearly passionate about their jobs. I overheard one barista explaining to a patron the type of beans that were used in the current brew and told him what the next brew would be like so he could choose what he wanted. I ordered an almond milk latte, which was made beautifully. Good beans were used clearly and the barista did a great job with the latte. My only gripe is that they didn't have unsweetened almond milk. The price is pretty comparable for an almond milk latte in NYC.
The 411: this is a cozy coffee shop that focuses strictly on their coffee. Friendly service and DELICIOUS espresso would have me returning in a heartbeat if I lived nearby.
Coffee is expensive…this place is no exception. But prices are indeed competitive and are not too steep for what you get.
I got two espressos to share with my girlfriend. One was their traditional espresso…and the other was their weekly special.
The traditional espresso was very good. Chocolatey and complex. Clean finish. $3. Decent price. Exactly what I wanted and with friendly service and free seltzer to wash it down!
The special though…was unlike anything I ever tasted. It was INCREDIBLE. I wanna say that the barista said it was Kenyan single origin…but it was sour on the first sip (I would agree with the barista in that it was like biting into a Granny Smith Apple) and then smooth and rich on the way down. Such an incredibly intriguing espresso that I never had the pleasure of experiencing until now. It was so great!
Bottom line: there are hella coffee joints around this area…but this one is a fantastic option (especially for espresso) in my book. Give this place a sip! You won't regret it!
Stumbled upon Gimme Coffee! While wandering in the Soho / Little Italy area. I ordered a regular latte – which was smooth and flavorful, well worth the $4. The baristas were also super friendly – they greeted me promptly and enthusiastically upon entering the shop, and all around service with a smile.
There's not too much space to really sit inside, but I suppose you could drink your beverage standing at the bar and they seemed to be open to taking your to stay beverages outside too.
If you're looking for delicious coffee when in the neighborhood, be sure to stop by!
