Manhattan Expresso Ltd

Easily some of the best coffee in NYC!!!! The hard thisng is just getting coffee! I am always trying the amazing pastries, and even the BAGLES there are some of the BEST Around!!
Staff, in the morning, is usually young European women. There is always witty banter in the air!

Though a little pricey, this hole in the wall is classy, warm and makes delicious hot chocolate! It's just sweet and creamy enough to not be overwhelming and bitter enough to let you know you are drinking high quality cocoa. Yummy!

Pros: service, hot chocolate!

Cons: pricey

The cappucino and nutella crepe did things (good things) to my body that aren't suitable to write in a review. I'll just say it was a great experience, and I highly recommend it.

Pros: friendly service, great quality

Cons: no tables

With great fresh coffee and the best espresso I've found in NYC or anywhere outside of Italy for that matter, this place is truly authentic. It has a warm feel of a real European cafe with the Italian mosaic floor and cozy size. I love the crepes, panini grilled sandwiches and home-made gelato. A nice change from the chains that have proliferated throughout the city.

Pros: charming, cozy, hidden treasure

Cons: limited seating

The people who run this hole in the wall coffee joint are passionate about their coffee. Each day brings a new estate grown select coffee, expertly brewed. The taste is rich and flavorful, without the "charred" taste that others inflict. No need for cappucino. Just get a cup of the good stuff and add a dolop of cream. Coffee heaven.

Pros: Amazing Coffee, Estate Grown Coffee, Expert Brewing
