the best expresso in nyc to me is Blue Spoon Cafe on Chambers St near City Hall.....amazing, I avoid coffee but when I need to rock, I stop by here and do 2 singles (one after the other) and its sends me into full speed but so smoothly.....it of course comes short and creamy and it rivals Italy (made by this lady there I assume the owner named Heather, not sure the others can make as good).....from her web site ((Our passion for coffee led us to serve Intelligentsia brand coffee and teas — what we believe to be the finest available on the market. An environmentally and socially responsible company, Intelligentsia works closely with growers and importers to ensure the quality of the bean. All Intelligentsia coffee is traded fairly, paying the grower above the Fair Trade price.))....

Thanks, I'll check it out.

It's probably not quite as good, but around me the best is definitely at Brown Cafe on Hester btw Essex and Ludlow. The lattes are amazing.

There's a great one near Ken and Sarah too. I'll find the name.

  • Is it Gimme Coffee, 495 Lorimer St (at Grand)?
    I buy their Leftist Beans, that's what they use for
    their espresso shots. Now I can never seem to find
    any Leftist on the shelf.
