Coffee

“In light of all that, an olive oil cake and espresso at Abraco is divine.”

“Espresso: A perfectly made coffee just like the ones I have in Italy. I looked for and drank several espressos during my stay, but this one was definitely the best. It made me feel like I was back home.”

“Zibetto - best traditional Italian espresso”

“La Cabra consistently has the best espresso in all of nyc. No competition.”

“I order Partners whole beans for use at home; I can pull amazing espressos at home using them”

“black fox coffee so far has the best espresso in the city in my opinion”

“Cannoli, green and white Caserta, Gelato, espresso, marzipan, all types of cookies, omg the best.”

“Seconding Ninth Street Espresso! The only espresso I trust.”

“Espresso is only as good as its weakest link. Good quality beans + Roasted recently (but not too recently) and to a uniform roast level + The grind size of each batch of beans dialed in to yield good extraction, given a particular dosage, pressure, and temp + The barista using freshly ground espresso and consistently applying the correct dosage, tamping pressure, and yield (such as 18g of ground coffee to 36g of liquid espresso). Solid State is awesome (and underrated) because they care more about the coffee than marketing gimmicks.”

“Loveless in Bushwick has been my fave espresso pull as of late and the best in Brooklyn, IMO.”

“That old Italian guy would make the best espresso.”

“They do the best proper espresso shot I’ve been able to find in NYC.”

“They also pulled a beautiful espresso. After lunch, crossed the street into Central Park to enjoy a walk in the sun before our flight home.”

“excellent espresso as well!”

“St Kilda has beans from SEY and other spots, and they pull excellent espresso if you want to get a taste before you buy.”

“If you need one in Brooklyn too, Almondine is amazing!”

“What topped the experience was the exceptional espresso. I will definitely be back soon!”

“In NYC I always liked Stumptown near the Ace Hotel and Cafe Grumpy in Brooklyn. Both do great espresso.”

“If you really need your Italian style fix, pop into Eataly lol. It’s not the best cafe experience but it is good.”

“They know how to pull a shot of espresso. That being said, their purveyor of coffee is absolute scum. It sucks their espresso is so good because the people behind the actual beans are not”

“There's also a little coffee counter inside of Au Cheval in Chinatown that does a nice roasty espresso.”

“for strong + cheap in your radius: porto rico on st marks. they roast their own beans daily and an espresso/americano runs like two bucks. it's the opposite of the watery blank street thing.”

“Their espresso was pretty damn good”

“Additionally, if your date is anything like my family, after dinner they like to have an espresso and a dessert so I would recommend maybe going to Joey Bats Cafe for an espresso and some Pasteis Da Nata, which are as good as anything I've had in the Portuguese diaspora I grew up in.”

“Espresso is above average to pair”

“The C&B espresso is great”

“It’s a restaurant, but I feel like they are pretty serious about their espresso.”

“In NYC I always liked Stumptown near the Ace Hotel and Cafe Grumpy in Brooklyn. Both do great espresso.”

“I have 5 places within walking distance to me that serve it proper: Devocion, Yafa, Thea, Volare, IXV.”
