My Favorite Coffee Shops In NYC

November 5, 2017 By Melanie 1 Comment

Favorite Coffee Shops In NYC: Cha Cha Matcha

There are few things I love more than a cup of coffee in the morning. It’s not even so much for the caffeine buzz as it is for the comforting feeling that comes with it. Which is why it should come as no surprise that my guilty pleasure is most definitely overpriced lattes from NYC’s various coffee shops. My wallet might not like my newfound love for $8 specialty brews but it’s something that I really can’t see myself giving up anytime soon. And with SO many gorgeous, delicious, highly stylish coffee shops to choose from, can you really blame me? I mean, I can’t just ignore those matcha lattes and settle for Folgers (sorry, dad).

Judging from my Instagram Story poll a few weeks ago, it seems like the majority of you are also major coffee fans too (I knew I liked you guysย ๐Ÿ˜‰). And considering many of you are in the NYC area, I wanted to share my fav guilty pleasure hot spots that offer the BEST coffee and various types of lattes so you can also indulge your premium latte whims.

Keep in mind there are hundreds (maybe thousands?) of coffee shops in the city so the following is just a small sampling of places that I personally love and frequent often. I also asked my boyfriend, Bay, who is a genuine coffee aficionado to weigh in on a few of his favorites as well.

Favorite Coffee Shops In NYC: Cha Cha Matcha

Blue Bottle Coffee

What To Order: New Orleans Cold Brew

Hands down the best cold brew I’ve tried thus far. Seriously. Go for the New Orleans — it has a super creamy, robust flavor with just the right amount of sweetness and hint of roasted chicory. It’s the only iced coffee I will drink at all times of the year… even if I have to wear gloves in order to hold the cup in the winter.

La Colombeย 

La Colombe

What To Order: Draft Latte

I can thank Bay’s sister-in-law, Jess, for introducing me to La Colombe during our latest road trip. We picked up a few of their draft lattes in Whole Foods (at least I think it was Whole Foods) and I’ve been hooked ever since. So naturally, I had to go check out one of their cafes here in NYC. The draft latte is a creamy, foamy cold-pressed espresso combo made with lactose-free milk that is pure deliciousness.ย  Even if you aren’t in the New York City area, you can find their famous draft lattes in your local specialty grocery stores or online.

Cha Cha Matchaย

What To Order: Coconut Matcha Latte

This super trendy, highly stylish cafe in NoLita is every bloggers dream come true. Everything from the Millennial pink walls and tables, to the greenery wall, the neon pink signs, the napkins that fondly say “I Love You So Matcha”, and the leaf print covered benches come together to make for one super cute Instagram photo. More importantly, they serve up some of the best matcha lattes, lemonades and soft-serve in the city. With multiple small bitesย like matcha “doissants” — a cross between a donut and croissant, and new seasonal options like Matcha Pumpkin Spice Lattes, there’s always something unique to try.

Happy Bones

What To Order: Latte

Every minimalist Instagrammers dream, this charming little coffee shop on Broome street offers up yummy lattes served up in glasses with leopard print spoons. I’ve admittedly only been here a handful of times as it gets very busy, but the coffee never disappoints! And with multiple white marble tables and tasty treats, it’s the perfect space to sit, snap a pic, and people watch.

Bluestone Lane

Bluestone Lane

What To Order:ย Beet Latte

First of all, I’m obsessed with this place. A premium Australian-style coffee company and eatery, it’s the perfect place for brunch with the girls or for a quick latte to go. Try their famous “wellness sampler” for a taste of their matcha, tumeric and beet lattes, and order the rainbow bowl for a super healthy, vegetarian dish. Withย five locations in the city including the beautiful, instagrammable Dumbo and West Village locations, there’s no excuse to not stop in.

Little Collins

Little Collins

What To Order:ย Flat White

Another Australian owned coffee shop, what Little Collins lacks in size (the space is a tight squeeze and constantly has lines out the door) it makes up for with delicious “no-nonsense” food and fabulous coffee. I’m a huge fan of their flat white but I’ve heard their cold brew and cappuccinos are equally as tasty. If you’re looking for some brekkie with your coffee, I highly recommend the “Sweet Uncle Fred” — toasted banana bread topped with ricotta, strawberries, almond brittle and a drizzle of honey. Mmm mmm

And that concludes myย favorite coffee shops in NYC roundup. I’ll probably do a second edition of this next year after I discover a few more places… after all, new trendy spots seem to open up everyday (I’m coming for you Chillhouse).

Until then, stay stylishly caffeinated my friends!

It may technically still be winter here in NYC but Iโ€™m dreaming that Iโ€™m laying on a tropical beach somewhere. ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ› Thankfully I have my tub, a loving husband who puts up with my shenanigans and these super delicious @yasso Chocolate Dipped Greek Yogurt bars to help create the right vibes!! 
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Iโ€™ve been a huge fan of Yasso bars for years and was SO excited when they released these chocolate dipped bars! ๐Ÿฅฐ Theyโ€™ve got such a great crunch on the outside and the same creamy, deliciousness on the inside. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป I love how indulgent they taste while also being less calories than similar frozen treats on the market. 
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
I canโ€™t promise that theyโ€™ll magically transport you to a tropical paradise but I have a feeling youโ€™re going to love them regardless. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Which flavor would you reach for? Mint Chocolate Chip, Vanilla, Sea Salt Caramel, or Peanut Butter? #WorkingWithYasso

Just a very real moment in my day to day life... a glam face to shoot for a brand ๐Ÿ’„ (spot the tripod in the window), a shirt with no pants and slippers, two completely unpolished nails ๐Ÿ’…๐Ÿป, a giant pile of clothes on the floor because Iโ€™ve let my laundry ๐Ÿงบ get the best of me, and a mirror that desperately needs to be dusted. 
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Itโ€™s easy to make everything on Instagram look super polished and put together. โœจ I can omit certain aspects of my life, my home, my schedule โ€” and you would never know. 
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
The reality is no matter how perfect someoneโ€™s life may appear on the outside, you may never see the full picture. Itโ€™s a good lesson to: 
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
1) Stop comparing your own life to the highlights of others โœ‹๐Ÿผ 
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
2) Give yourself a little grace for falling behind on work, chores, relationships, etc. 
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
3) Treat people with extra kindness, always. ๐Ÿ’•Because weโ€™re all deserving of that and the person you speak with today may just need a little bit of encouragement to turn their day around. 
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Sending you all love and hugs ๐Ÿค—. #RealityCheck

It may be winter outside, but I'm channeling all the Spring vibes indoors! ๐Ÿ’ Unfortunately I can't trick my dry skin into acting like it's not winter, which means my entire skincare routine is focused on being gentle, nourishing and hydrating. ๐Ÿฅฐ 
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
You all know how much I've been loving the @yesto Avocado collection and the #yesto Daily Cream Cleanser is truly one of the biggest stars for me. ๐Ÿฅ‘I love how creamy and rich the lather is! Plus it's fragrance-free, cruelty-free and made from 95% natural ingredients (including avocado oil)! 
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Definitely recommend adding this to your winter skincare must haves. #yestoambassador Shop it now at @ultabeauty ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ’•

โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
๐Ÿชด Watching a new baby leaf pop up in a plant

๐Ÿค— Texting a friend something random but their response just shows how much they โ€œget youโ€
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
๐ŸŒˆ And the knowledge that no matter how hard things may be, there will always be brighter days ahead

Here are 6 of my personal favorites but the two I probably have on repeat are Greek yogurt and oatmeal. ๐Ÿคช Because letโ€™s be real, they really only serve as vehicles for yummy toppings like chia jam, nut butter, caramelized bananas, granola, fresh fruit and sometimes if Iโ€™m feeling really dangerous... chocolate. ๐Ÿฅฐ ๐Ÿซ

โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Let me tell you -- these wiggly little Vitamin D and Saffron filled gummies are the TASTIEST vitamins I've ever had. ๐Ÿฅฐ I've shared my journey with supplements before but here's something that I've found to be very true. When the vitamins I have taste good, I'm so much better at taking them regularly. ๐ŸŠ๐ŸAnyone else relate? 
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Alongside the gummy worms I'm also trying out OLLY's Sleep gummies which taste like blackberry and are filled with melatonin and botanicals to promote a more restful sleep. ๐Ÿ’ค 
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
I can't wait to take you on this journey with me! If you'd like to try them for yourself, you can find them at @target! Which one would you reach for? ๐Ÿค”#happyinsideout #sponsored

You all know how much I've been loving the @yesto Avocado collection and the #yesto Daily Cream Cleanser is truly one of the biggest stars for me. ๐Ÿฅ‘I love how creamy and rich the lather is! Plus it's fragrance-free, cruelty-free and made from 95% natural ingredients (including avocado oil)! 
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Definitely recommend adding this to your winter skincare must haves. #yestoambassador Shop it now at @ultabeauty ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ’•

Here are 6 of my personal favorites but the two I probably have on repeat are Greek yogurt and oatmeal. ๐Ÿคช Because letโ€™s be real, they really only serve as vehicles for yummy toppings like chia jam, nut butter, caramelized bananas, granola, fresh fruit and sometimes if Iโ€™m feeling really dangerous... chocolate. ๐Ÿฅฐ ๐Ÿซ

There are all kinds of studies that share how plants have been known to increase productivity and provide an emotional boost... and although I canโ€™t speak for anyone else, filling my home with these green beauties has ๐Ÿ’ฏ% helped me on mentally tough days. ๐Ÿชดโœจ

They taste like a tropical dream (pineapple and orange) and I love that they support brain health + have major antioxidants. ๐ŸŠ๐ŸI've linked them in my Stories if you'd like to try them out! #happyinsideout #sponsored

I'm always down to add a little more color and sun I'm always down to add a little more color and sunshine into my life, so you can bet I was super excited to try these NEW Hello Happy Gummy Worms from @ollywellness!! โ˜€๏ธ 
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Let me tell you -- these wiggly little Vitamin D and Saffron filled gummies are the TASTIEST vitamins I've ever had. ๐Ÿฅฐ I've shared my journey with supplements before but here's something that I've found to be very true. When the vitamins I have taste good, I'm so much better at taking them regularly. ๐ŸŠ๐ŸAnyone else relate? 
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Alongside the gummy worms I'm also trying out OLLY's Sleep gummies which taste like blackberry and are filled with melatonin and botanicals to promote a more restful sleep. ๐Ÿ’ค 
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
I can't wait to take you on this journey with me! If you'd like to try them for yourself, you can find them at @target! Which one would you reach for? ๐Ÿค”#happyinsideout #sponsored

I think we could all use a little more kindness in our lives, whether that be for the people we love or even treating ourselves with more grace and compassion. ๐Ÿฅฐ
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
If everyone was to do something nice for someone else just think how much more beautiful this world would be. ๐ŸŒŽ

Iโ€™d love to hear from YOU โ€” what is one simple random act of kindness you can try today?
