Im staying at Marrakesh and wanted coffee that wasn't the Starbucks next door. This place is only two blocks further and much more worth it. I got a small cold brew with the cute teddy bear pastry. The teddy was almond and sweet enough to not necessitate sugar in the coffee, in addition to the coffee being excellent on its own. I sat on a stool by the front and enjoyed people watching while pretending to do homework.
In conclusion, just walk the extra couple blocks! Worth it!
Sadly no nitro cold brew on the weekends. (why not??) Regular cold brew is also nice and strong. They started carrying sandwiches.
yummy and delicious freshly grounded coffee. Happy this was near our hostel and subway station.
they don't have fancy drinks, just the plain real coffee stuff!
Who says only Brooklyn has good coffee? Plowshares brews an excellent cold brew. Forgetting that Cold Brew doesn't exactly last all day well, I ordered some in the afternoon, and it was surprisingly still fresh and not bitter. Staff was friendly and quite quick and knew their way around an espresso machine.
I welcome our third wave coffee overlords to the upper west side. They have a wide selection of beans and their baristas know what's up for an espresso.
They have a wide selection of pastries and a standard array of coffee. Give the nitro cold brew a try – it's strong without tasting sour or over extracted.
Right now they're running a special if you buy a bag of beans you get a shot for free – how can you say no to that?!
Now that I've been visiting more and more in the past few months, I have more to say than when I first reviewed this place. I have sampled their teas, pastries, and chai, and I am quite content with this place! In addition to the Balthazar pastries they've carried since the beginning, they now carry Underwest Donuts! It's nice to get one on 104th and Broadway as opposed to the Faaaaaaaaaaaar West Side. Ha! Their tea selection is pretty delicious, and I am in love with the fact that they carry Dona Chai! (Though, I have to keep those chai latte purchases limited to once a week, seeing as it's $4.75 for a 12 oz. cup!)
For me, this has always been a "grab 'n' go" type of coffee place; they have limited seating, no WiFi, and no customer restroom. I only visit on occasional weekday mornings before going to work and on odd Sundays when the beau and I want to switch up our usual Lenny's Bagel routine. (Haha.) Lack of those aforementioned amenities does not bother me in the least, but should be mentioned for those of you looking for a coffee shop to work comfortably at.
Overall, I really truly dig this place! It's an oasis in a sea of Starbucks.
Boyfriend had the cortado and I had the cold brew. A small but cozy place. We got coffees to go because we wanted to eat at central park.
The cortado was very good, chocolatey tasting and the cold brew was very smooth and good black. I've had some amazing cold brew in Nashville and I would say this is comparable to Portland Brew in Nashville. [i love portland brew btw]
A small gem with delicious handcrafted coffee and highly recommended if in the area!
The barista is very friendly, so the service is nice. But the coffee is average and mediocre. The price is also similar to all the other coffee shops. $4+ for latte and cappuccino, extra for almond milk. They do have pastries from nice places, cookies from ovenly, stick buns, almond croissants. All look very tasty.
