A soft agoraphobe in need of a place to get some work done, I opted for this spot over Not Just Coffee in the Seventh Street Market. The idea it'd be more conducive to my needs was based off Yelp pictures and not actual experience -- this was my first time here, and I've yet to visit Not Just Coffee. At any rate, it exceeded any preconceived expectations.
Surprisingly crowded for Tuesday at 11 a.m., but the large space more than accommodated. I snagged my dark roast drip coffee in an oversized mug (excellent; a refill included, as per barista) and sat at the back in a cluster of comfortable armchairs. Half an hour later I re-upped on my joe (light roast, though very full-bodied and perhaps even tastier) and added a piece of zucchini bread (warmed up; moist, fresh, sweet and savory) before migrating to a table to get some real work done (this Yelp review).
This place is just as good as any coffee shop in New York, with a bathroom key to boot (including an attached bottle of hand sanitizer. Love it.). Found my spot for when I want to feign productivity this holiday season.
