So this is beverage course, share what you like about coffee. Here is a recent post by EATer on NYC coffee. My favorite, Brooklyn Roasting Company (just down the street at 25 Jay Street), is not on the list but I still respect what they wrote about: Best Cafe Coffee http://ny.eater.com/maps/best-cafe-coffee-shop-new-york-city-brooklyn-queens
What is your favorite coffee shop? Is it on the list?
Let me know of you try any of the shops on here.
I managed a coffee shop in the West Village named O Cafe, where we brewed mostly Brazilian beans. We also had single origin beans from other Countries for our manual brews. I learned so much about coffee while working there and learned to appreciate the work that went into producing a great cup of coffee. Coffee is a lot like wine. There are many different regions around the world where coffee is grown and coffee from each region can have a distinct flavor.
I’ve gone to a few of the coffee shops that were listed. My current favorite is a small French bakery named La Tropezienne Bakery. It’s in East Harlem by my apartment and has only been open for a few months. They get their coffee beans from Stumptown Coffee and make a really good Americano. I like to drink hot coffee without any milk or sugar. The owner also makes excellent macaroons, rose petal is my favorite.

Stumptown is among my favorite. I like that you can find quality in your neighborhood. Have a local place is often the best way to enjoy a cup of coffee.
I have gone to a few coffee shop on the list as well. I do not have a favorite coffee shop but I like the hot latte and the ginger molasses cookies in Blue Bottle Coffee, and the flat white in Toby’s Estate Coffee. Hi-Collar is also a great coffee place if I want to pair my coffee with some great dessert.

Flat white (not starbuck’s version) is a new favorite of mine.

I never had condensed milk in my coffee. I should try it. Thanks.
I love eagle brand condensed milk in my coffee and tea . I have keruig coffee machine with a reusable piece. I purchase different gormet brands of coffees from Home Good store TJMAXX, Marshall and Burlington Coat factory.
I must go to Fair Folks and a Goat when it gets warmer to indulge in some of there beverages.
Arabica coffee or “mountain coffee” is my favorite. I’m an espresso lover so this strong coffee is what I enjoy. It’s a little sweet and soft at the same time. It is not bitter at all!! The Brooklyn Roasting is also very smooth, strong & fresh.
I am a regular coffee drinker but unfortunately i havent been to any of the 21 coffee shop which were listed. I work in upperwest side in Manhattan in a japanese restaurant for about few month. Everytime i go to work i get a starbuck’s pike. Few month ago i explored another coffee shop called Irving Farm Coffee Roasters which is close to my workplace. They hav great coffee. Their cappucino is great. They themsleved roast their cofee. Once i tried their chai but it doesnt taste as good as coffee. These days this place has been my favourite coffee shop.
