  1. A cute little coffee stand in the FiDi area, and definitely a great alternative to the Starbucks on the corner if you want to avoid lines and would prefer a carefully made latte instead of a factory line one.

    After finding out that the Wooly Daily was only a few hundred feet from the building where I work, I got another 15 cups plan on my Cups app!

    Get $10 off your first Cups plan with code: dmmrk. 🙂

  2. Sleep and dreams may pull the wool over my eyes, but The Wooly Daily delivers a mammoth kick of caffeine to wake me up. The steamed milk warms up my frigid bones and its cold brethren brings me back to the ice age. The barista is efficient, friendly, and crafts a perfect latte. This coffee shop is tiny and is probably meant for the New Yorker on the go. Cheers that my favorite stop in the Financial District also takes the CupsApp. Use my code "r4esu" for $10 off a plan!

    edit: 4/1/16 – CupsApp is no longer accepted and a star is deleted.

  3. Medium sized cold brew $4.00. Reasonable price if it actually tasted like one and the service wasn't so 'laid' back. Small place in TriBeCa with three very hipster employees. VERY HIPSTER LIKE or wannabe? Not sure what it is but couldn't care less about the customer. Or was it just the asian customers? Wasn't greeted as I walked in nor was I given friendly service. The asians that walked in after were not greeted as well. However, when a white male walked in with an Australian accent she sure was chirpy in welcoming him in with open arms. Coffee was mediocre but the discrimination was offensive. Service trumps all. Also, what coffee shop doesn't offer wifi nowadays? If your coffee is that mediocre at least be humble with superior service. Forever 21 coffee with a Chanel attitude.

  4. Discovered this cute little coffee shop via the CUPS app, which I absolutely love. The CUPS app helps you find mom and pop coffee shops that you wouldn't have known existed due to the abundant amount of Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, etc.

    First off, the service here is incredible. The barista here is super friendly and provides you with great recommendations on the various coffees/size your coffee will come in. Granted the menu's small, but that just makes ordering simpler! While brewing your drink, the barista engages in a conversation with you about your day, etc. You definitely don't get this service at any Starbucks!

    I ordered the hot chocolate, which comes with optional marshmallows if you prefer. The marshmallows are then toasted with a hand held torch on the spot before being added to your drink. Did I mention the marshmallows are FREE?! To get anything free in NYC is rare. Nonetheless, the hot chocolate had the perfect chocolate taste and consistency; it tasted like a hybrid of milk and dark chocolate. Love that the drinks are served in these cute elephant cups as well!

    The only downside as the other reviews have mentioned is that there's no table seating, making this a grab and go type of joint. I'll definitely be returning!

  5. So excited about finding this spot! It's small but cute, which adds to the genuine feel of this intimate coffee shop. So far from what I've tried the espresso drinks are fantastic and not over-milked. The cold brew (which apparently they do all year round) is so great that it requires no additives like milk or sugar which is usually how I take my coffee. Definitely my new favorite place to grab a cup of coffee or delicious baked good! Highly recommend.

  6. It's one of those friend of a friend New York stories. I was attracted to the retro design of this tiny coffee shop. Of course I expressed my charm by taking pictures. The guy who walks in, to buy his favorite cookie, happens to know the woman who opened this coffee shop. She baked the cookies in his friend's kitchen in Greenpoint. It's a Brooklyn dream come true; and can happen to you. The poppy seeds in the peanut butter cooking were interesting. Truly, the conversation with the architect heightened this gluten free cookie's unexpected spices. This is a quiet coffee shop in an otherwise busy part of town. The baker happened to have won best new bakery not too long ago … My personal Woolworth tour guide did let me know that the cookies can be better. Normally, I might knock down a review to three stars for that. But really, the coffee shop is a charmer. And, you really should take a tour of the Woolworth Building. It's impressive.

    P.S. Cobble Hill is named after cobblers. Is that TMI? 😉

  7. Great to have a good coffee shop down in the Financial District that isn't Starbucks!  Love the cups too! 🙂

    First stop on free coffee Monday using the Cups App. Enter my Promo Code: 25pn5 for $10 off a purchase plan.  I had a cappuccino to stay. The place is around the corner from the famed Woolworth Building. It's pretty small shop. There is a back bar for cream, sugar, and other coffee accessories.  The main counter has a tiny pasty case. There are three stools by the window. That's pretty much it. The space has a cool theme – newspaper and Elephants. The coffee was expertly prepared even though there was a huge influx of people wanting free coffee.
