I dropped in this place for a quick cup of iced coffee. The service was kind and fast. It was an unseasonably hot day for late September, so the missing A/C made me sad because I wanted to chill for a bit and enjoy my coffee, but even the cold brew wasn't enough to make this place less than stifling. Plus the seating inside is very, very limited. The coffee itself was a-OK, but not strong enough for me.
No-frills and a tiny space doesn't hide the fact that Gasoline Alley offers a good, solid cup of coffee and Americano in the Little Italy/Nolita neighborhood. A great spot to grab a quick cup of joe in the run or park yourself on a stool to surf and text away on your phone.
Friendly service, great coffee and delicious pastries. What more do you want from a corner coffee spot?
Located on the quiet corner of Grand and Lafayette, you can pop in and grab a quick house drip coffee or stay a few minutes longer on a stool for a far superior espresso beverage. My favorite is a simple Americano with a little room for cream. Throw in a Stroopwafel and you'll be all set for either a good start to your day or a quick pick-me-up to keep it going.
It's a favorite spot of mine in NoLIta/SoHo.
Stopped here for coffee while walking by and was pleased with the taste. It's pretty small inside with only a bar and two stools so don't plan on sticking around. They had a spinach turnover I ordered which was good flavor wise but I wish it had been a bit warmer.
The coffee was delicious, def. good place to stop if you are in the area looking for a spot.
I popped in here with 15 minutes to kill before a pre-work meeting… I had an espresso and a croissant – I believe it came to about $5 and some change – pretty standard prices for NYC.
The "stay" part was a two-seat area with a piece of plywood against the glass window.. it felt a little awkward to sit next to a complete stranger and the sugar/creamer/trash and stare at people passing by… but I got over it via the comfort of having my little smartphone distracting me.
The pastry was flaky and lovely – the espresso was a bit bitter (I dont add anything to mine, but they did offer up a small carafe of water to mix with your espresso if you wanted it a bit more "americano" style).
I most likely will be visiting this place in the future, but will get grabbing things "to go" next time.
An adorable little hipster haven in SoHo. The Grand St. location I went to is pretty small, but the ambience and music are spot on. I tried their iced chai tea latte and it was delicious. Not too sweet, which I liked, and it had just the right amount of cinnamon. Will come back here again.
Delicious iced coffee.
This place is tiny. You come here, grab your coffee and pastries, and leave.

This super small coffee place makes a delicious cup of joe. The $4 Cappuccino was worth every cent. The coffee had a touch of acidity, a nice sweet aroma, a light body, and almost chocolate taste. The Trinity of Espresso, Steamed Milk, and Foam were in perfect harmony. I have no complaints but absolute praise for the cup. The only problem with the place is that there are only two stools to sit on. Therefore you cannot enjoy with leisure. It is more of a stop in, order, and get out sort of place.
