Think Coffee
“My only quibbles is that the music was a touch loud, and that it's full of NYU students.”
“Think is an apt name as their coffee is fair trade, organic and they donate a portion of their proceeds.”
“Lots of seating, although outlets are a little more rare, and plenty of people hanging out on their laptops.”

Spanish latte was pretty good.
Price wasn't too special.
Sunday afternoon though (guess it was around finals time), was so packed there were NO seats available. There's an abundance of seats, but all 50 of them were taken. It was so warm and humid inside too. I didn't feel comfortable at all.
Good thing it was a decently warm day out cause I just sat at the little park-ish area across the street.
This think coffee is literally one block away from me, but I have gone there all of two times since I moved into my build about a year ago. Why? They are overpriced and their coffee tastes bad. Moreover, when I want food it's always "sorry, we don't serve that now". It's always too late or too early for the food I want.
The bathrooms are terribly disgusting.
I've been to this Think location twice now. It is definitely my first choice of the three in the area. It's spacious AND there's free wifi (the password is written up on the blackboard amongst the drink menu).
There's also tons of different types of seating; whether you are the bar stool kind of person, or the chaise lounge chair type, or just the hard wooden Ikea chair type. There's also plenty of seating available both at the front and the back of the cafe.
Unfortunately, I find the cafe a bit stuffy. It also smells less of coffee and more of grease (like an under-ventilated fast food restaurant). Stay too long and you will smell like you just took a bath in a tub of grease.
A haven for those who want to "get stuff done" and also for those just looking to get some quality people watching in. Last time I spent a good part of an hour watching the colorful character next to me commandeer the shop's honey bottle and then drizzle it over an entire loaf of bread which he proceeded to devour slice by slice. Quality entertainment (she said without a hint of irony).
I'm the rare breed who adores coffee shops but hates coffee, so I can't speak to the primary wares they peddle here. They make a mean iced tea, though. And a killer grilled cheese (but they'd earn that 5th star if they got closer to serving the cheesy goodness all the way up until closing time rather than just letting the lingering aroma taunt those burning the almost-midnight oil).
It's a lot bigger than it looks from street level, and there are lots of tables to be had. They also get mad props for their in-store nod to local legend Dan "Will Teach You Guitar" Smith – keep your eyes peeled!
Nice enough place to study which makes sense since it's so close to NYU. The bagels are kinda meh compared to many of the other city's offerings. I wish there were outlets to match the seats.
I am not a big fan of coffee, and don't differentiate coffee from one place to another. Some people say coffee here tastes really good, but to me it was an adequate iced latte. What I really liked about here, however, was the inside. There were a lot of tables for people to sit or study (it is right next to NYU campus buildings), so was really optimized for studying.
This place should be a popular spot for NYU students who prefer studying at a cafe to studying in the library.
Probably one of the best spots so far studying in NYC.
They have a huge room in the back with lots of table. Free wifi and good coffee.
I really like this certain location because it's so close to Washington Square Park.
It does get a crowded and a bit difficult to find seating after noonish though.
I like this place. I've been here a few times already and it's a good working atmosphere. The coffee is consistent and the prices are reasonable. My go-to is usually the drip coffee.
The weekends tend to be a bit hectic, especially on a Sunday, with everyone in study mode. Keep that in mind if you're thinking of finding quick seating or a table. You may have to wait…
