Laughing Man Cafe 184 Duane Street, Manhattan, New York,

"the worst coffee in my life, I have never drank such bitter and tasteless coffee in my life, I ordered coffee, took a sip and I felt sick from the taste, then I ordered tea, I hoped it would be normal, in the end disgusting tea with a soapy taste. The only plus is this is the Spanish-speaking guy at the checkout, he was very kind and sweet, the service was good. My phone was dead, so there was nowhere to put it, this is a huge minus, I’m not one of those people who comes to a coffee shop and sits with a laptop for 6 hours. I came to you need to enjoy coffee, in the end the terrible coffee and tea made me disgusted all day. And if you say that you sat in your establishment for a long time, then it’s not about half an hour, and it’s a complete disappointment that you can’t charge your phone in such a place"

"I came a little far from my house to try a new cafe, but a lot of disappointments from my first visit. NO WIFI is a big thing for me who always carries around a laptop to work online. The interior design and the seating availability look okay, but only some of them have charging ports available. I was really glad to see the sofa seating on the reviews prior to coming here, but it's not really a good thing if I'm not going to stay long. They do have a loyalty program to sign up to collect points, but I doubt I'm coming back."

"While I don’t have many opportunities to visit New York, Laughing Man is a constant stop when I can be here. A smooth roast which is key since I only drink black coffee. Staff is friendly and just a relaxed atmosphere in a great neighborhood"

"This Laughing Man Cafe has been popular in the area for years when it was still a tiny coffee shop around the corner. The cafe is spacious, and it is not too crowded even when it gets busy. The music is excellent. The coffee, pastries, sandwiches, and seasonal specials are all great. I love everything about this cafe."
