Gotham Coffee Roasters

Hands down the best coffee in all of New York! Gotham Coffee Roasters is a must visit for all real coffee drinkers. You will not be disappointed! I order all of my coffee beans for home from their website. It gets delivered directly to my door freshly roasted and unlike anything else I can find. So when I’m visiting New York I have to stop by their cafe. The space is small but mighty. If there is a line, it never lasts long as the baristas move quickly. There are only a handful of tables, but I always seem to find a seat to enjoy my coffee. Gotham Coffee is know for their high quality coffee beans from all over the world, perfectly roasted, and you can taste the difference. They have beans from Guatemala, Mexico, Colombia, and Ecuador. They have bags of whole beans available for purchase at the cafe as well. The staff are super knowledgeable and friendly as well. They also serve multiple milk alternatives which is nice. 5/5 stars, Gotham Coffee Roasters is true NYC coffee experience.

Solid espresso. They have some indoor and outdoor seating!

Niche shop with a very quiet vibe against the background music. There’s a selection of coffee beans, coffee makers, and assorted goods for sale on the side and comfortable seating while you wait for coffee or relax.

I’ve come here several times after running errands in the neighborhood over the last two years. Sometimes I think cafes are good, but it’s actually just that one barista. I can confirm today that all the baristas are excellent, meaning this place has a legit coffee program. Not once have I received a burnt espresso, or the feeling I can make this better at home. A1 to this team!

The As a reviewer in the top 10% of all coffee contributors on this platform, I rarely have to write a review of this nature, but the experience I had today was fundamentally unacceptable for a specialty roastery of this caliber. I visited Gotham Coffee Roasters on February 15th and placed an order between 1:00 PM and 1:30 PM. I was specifically looking forward to a Brazilian pour-over and requested it for "here." When I ordered, the barista explicitly told me it would be about a 10-minute wait. I told her that was "no problem" and sat down to catch up on emails. I then sat there for 30 minutes. It eventually became clear that the staff—two employees who seemed completely absent-minded—had simply never placed the order into the system. Despite being "in process" with other tasks, they completely forgot my existence. After waiting three times the estimated duration, I had to ask for a refund, which was processed on-site. For the owner/manager: You can easily track this incident in your POS system for Feb 15th between 1:00 PM – 1:30 PM; you will see the specific transaction and the subsequent refund. I value the craft of specialty coffee, and Gotham usually has a reputation for quality. However, as a high-level reviewer, I have to be honest: you have one job in a service environment, and failing to even input an order while a customer sits in plain sight for half an hour is a major breakdown in basic operations. I hope this serves as a necessary coaching moment for the team on shift.
