↳replying to u/ZenghisZan: Honestly, the cozy coffee shop scene is kinda weak in NYC. I feel like coffee shops here are really just bakeries (delicious ones, at that) masquerading as coffee shops. Places like Central Perk are just tough to come by.
However, i found Black Cat in the LES is SUPER cozy - for me, it's everything I want in a coffee shop.“Me and my friends would call it the "friends cafe" as hanging there reminded me of Central Perk from the show Friends, just. a cozy place to do work or hang. Large selection of cozy mismatched sofas, outlets, wifi, etc. Would say I haven't had the best experiences with food but the latte was always solid.”
