Birch Coffee 432 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, New York 10016

"I definitely wish I would’ve just gone to a commercial coffee place instead. There was so much aggression and hostility for my morning coffee. I asked to have a latte in a larger cup, because I wanted an extra shot and the cashier insisted it couldn’t be done. Cool no problem, I didn’t get the shot. Moving on to this tiny shop, the barista proceeded to aggressively ask me to move from In front of the machine. However, allowed the next customer behind me to stand exactly where I was, without issue. There wasn’t anywhere for me to move to, so it was very uncomfortable in a room full of people."

"The coffee was good, and barista took pride in their work (usually measured by the latte art - which is not necessarily an indication of quality, but is an indication of the commitment to the craft). Recommended."

"This is a cute little coffee shop and it has like one big communal table but not a lot of seats to work honestly. Great for grab and go or to chill for about 10 minutes. The prices are OK quite high. It was about $11 for a mocha and an Americano but that was a large Americano. That’s nice. Did you do a punch hard so I would recommend getting one because you can get by 10 get one free."

"I was on a random NY trip, and this location of Birch coffee was a couple blocks down from my place of stay. I am an avid coffee drinker-- particularly lattes. I was initially recommended a different cafe as the best cafe in town, but decided to give Birch coffee a try, and boy was I thankful! My friend and I ended up coming back three more times because we were in love ! It's such a small location but they are super quick with service, not to mention the friendliness despite the busy mornings. Not that it's much important for me for a quick grab-and-go, but the music choices were amazing as well, and I also found out they make almond milk and oak milk in house!"

"Biked over on a chilly day. I got the spice latte, hot with oat milk. It turned out to be delicious. I highly suggest grabbing a coffee from here and walking over to Central Park for a nice stroll."
