Joe Coffee
“I usually prefer their single origin, when it's available (and, unlike Starbucks, it isn't priced above their house blend).”
“It's cash only so make sure you have some, and grab a frequent buyer punch card because after 10, you get the 11th free.”
“I am a coffee snob and really enjoy well-crafted espressos, ristrettos and lattes.”

Joe is now officially becoming my my third favorite coffee chains, ranked after Stumptown and caffe vita. It has a very clear taste and sipping their espresso is always like having a refreshment.
This tiny little shop is secretly hidden inside GCT and I almost missed it – you would like to follow the track 11-17 route until you almost reach the lex exit. But one sec, don't rush into the shop yet, coz there is also a cute cart just steps away selling Joe's coffee as well. Grab a cup there!
This Joe is the only one opens up at 6:30am in the morning, might want to take advantage of it.
Sometimes I'm in the mood for a fresh Doughnut Plant doughnuts , and I'm not able to go down to say the 23rd Street store, So what I somethings do is go to Joe Coffee, inside Grand Central Terminal because they gets a fresh Doughnut Plant mix doughnuts delivery everyday.
This Joe Coffee is in the Gray Wing Hall. It's out side and parallel to the Grand Central Food Market near Lexington Ave. It you're not used to Grand Central then be warned that during rush hour the people stream in and out like mindless cattle so put down your phone and just walk around them.
Joe Coffee has a store where you can get lattes, ice coffees, Doughnut Plant doughnuts and other lite morning food items like croissants and it usually has a short line, Then they all have a cart right outside were you pay and pour your own cup of coffee and also have the Doughnut Plant doughnuts too.
Joe coffees are descent Colombian medium blends but has no tables, stools, chairs or anything to lounge on so you need to take and go. Joe gets 4 stars from me all because of the doughnuts.
I've been coming here for my morning coffee since 2011 and I still consider their coffee to be top notch. However, the recent staff changes has gotten me a little disappointed. What happened to the quirky yet friendly crew? The people that used to work there always had cheery smiles on their faces, which made my mornings a little brighter. The new staff now look like they haven't slept for days and they obviously hate their jobs. Hate to bring down their rating but this review is primarily for their staff changes.
Great coffee priced at a very reasonable rate given the premium location! ($4 for small cold brew latte).
The cold brew latte is bold but not overwhelming. A delicious drink to start a perfect day.
Would like to come back and try their expressos with latte art!
Stopped in to have an americano on my way out into the chilly air. It was a decent drink, though a little bit watery and without much flavor. There was something to it that made it really weak-bodied. This is one drink, but as it is a coffee stop in Grand Central, it makes me think convenience is over quality. Staff were nice and efficient, not really engaging in small talk. Music was pretty cool – you could tell they had their own playlist and it was swell stuff.
My early morning fix in Grand Central Station! One of my fav coffee shops in the area, I usually go for a Moca which is absolutely delicious. Sometimes the temperature is a bit too cold for me but it is still so damn good 🙂
They also have a good variety of Doughnut Plant doughnuts and other pastries.
There's almost always a line but it moves quickly. There's no seating which is ok most customers in Grand Central are on the go.
I'm not an iced coffee kinda guy but my friend tells me the iced coffees are good as well.
Oh yeah I love Starbucks and go there quite often mostly because they are every where in the city but, Starbucks has got nothing on Joe's!
Such great coffee! I hadn't heard of this place but passed it and needed to try it.
I had a large mocha- and it was amazing. The service was fast and friendly. I would definitely stop by here again.
Decent coffee spot inside of Grand Central Terminal. it's a little tucked away in the corner so it can be hard to find. Also they do not have anywhere to sit so you have to take your coffee to go
