Delicious coffee in a quiet chill atmosphere.
We had some time to kill before heading into Miracle on 9th Street the other week and the bouncer suggested we go there for some coffee first. I needed some caffeine to get wired up for my evening of cocktail consuming so it was a great idea.
Kind of a simple bare bones spot that is both relaxing and quiet. Good music playing at a low level. A few people were in there on computers using the wifi. Pretty damn good coffee.
Tasty ginger sugar cookies too. Because, you know, suger and caffeine for the win before the 18 drinks I was about to have.
A hidden gem tucked away in Alphabet City. I don't know why I've never noticed it before, because I've definitely parked my car on the same block a couple of times. My friend and I stopped by because it was one of the few cafes near my apartment open early on Sunday morning.
The menu is really simple, but they brew a mean cup of joe! We both ordered iced lattes, which were really delicious, but what I really enjoyed was the ambiance of the cafe. It is sparsely decorated, but thoughtfully so, and there is plenty of sitting and standing room whether you want to sit at the counter or at a table. We hung around and studied for an hour before heading off to breakfast, and it was a really enjoyable study session, given the quiet din of the other patrons and the natural sunlight! I could study here for hours!!
They also have free wifi and a bathroom available for customers, although I didn't notice any outlets available. Oh well! I'm hoping that given its discrete location, it will stay a hidden gem (MY hidden gem) for the foreseeable future! 🙂
If only I lived closer!
I haven't been to the other locations, but I chose to come to this one based on reviews and pictures that said it was roomier. It definitely was! Tons of space, free wifi, AND not at all crowded? It's heaven for anyone who wants some quiet time to work or read! Not to mention the fact that they have great customer service and simple coffee options that they do perfectly.
I love a place that makes me feel at home, and 9th Street did just that. No stuck-up attitudes, no rush of people, and no rush to leave. I enjoyed sipping on my espresso over ice and milk for a good hour or two (I drink very slowly…) while reading. The coffee itself was great: creamy, smooth, and strong. I believe it was about $4.25, which for the size was very reasonable.
Overall, a wonderful coffee shop with everything in terms of ambience, price, and taste. I'll definitely take the time to make another trip.
Ma go to coffee joint in Alphabet City. It's just kinda out of the way for me so I can't go nearly as often as I'd like but seriously this is the house doe! They have great seating and solid beans to back everything up. This location is probably their best in my opinion.
Cost is average and quality is on par with any other coffee joint. It's a great place to study and meet with someone special. There's also a lot of natural light that bleeds through during the day time. The baristas know what they doing and are super chill. Hit it up ma peoples.

Located on 9th and C with a Citibike station directly across the street, Ninth Street Espresso is the ideal coffee shop. The large open windows provide plenty of natural light to work There is free wifi. There is ample seating. A four sitter street facing bench with stools. 8 two-top tables – most of which were unoccupied. There is also a counter by the service area complete with periodicals such as the New York Times. The smooth jazz had uptempo feel that wouldn't disruptive to work or conversation.
I had a cappuccino ($4 cash only) to stay. The taller narrower cup was nice change of pace. There was a nice foam leaf design. The espresso was moderately bitter but gave you that caffeinated feeling. There was just enough milk to smooth out the taste.
The first day I arrived in NYC I found this coffee shop up the street from where I was staying in alphabet city. It's got a very cute interior with plent my of space to work. The espresso was full of flavor and perfectly brewed! The staff inside was super nice and chatty which I liked while I was asking for recommendations for dinner. Apparently several celebs in the area frequent this place as well which I thought was cool 🙂
Strong espresso. Very limited menu. I like the simplicity. Has a few tables but the wifi was really really bad. Overall, I really like the espresso.
I've always loved Ninth Street Espresso but only recently did I start coming to this location instead of the one in 10th. I like the larger space here and of course the coffee is always excellent.
