In addition to the big chains like " Starbucks " and " Pret a Manger " that you can find on every corner in New York , the city also has other great cafés where you can enjoy a piece of cake and a delicious cup of coffee or even one hot cup of cocoa can make you feel really comfortable, especially in New York, which is so cold. Here are 6 insider tips for you where you can get a delicious coffee.
Birch coffee
This cafe roasts its Costa Rican coffee beans in Long Island City, Queens. There are many different varieties, from very light to dark beans. The “Iced coffee” is particularly popular here.

Ninth Street Espresso
Here you should definitely try the espresso, which is very artfully prepared. The café works with the Balthazar Bakery and you can enjoy your coffee with a delicious pastry. There are different locations, which you can all find on the homepage. We recommend the location in Chelsea Market, where you will find many great little shops where you can get great memories of your vacation or souvenirs for your loved ones back home.

Box Kite Coffee
This café has a seasonally changing menu and focuses on sustainability. The coffee beans are therefore only purchased from independent producers. We recommend the “one and one”, which includes an espresso, a macchiato, a glass of water and a homemade pastry. The two locations are in the Eastvillage and on the Upper west Side. Both areas are worth exploring on foot.

Hi collar
This exceptional café specializes in “East meets West cuisine,” which in this case means the menu combines Asian and Western cuisine. You should definitely order a sandwich with your coffee, which is the specialty of this house. You should try a “Katsu York Sandwich” (a pork sandwich). In the evening, the coffee menu is swapped for a cocktail menu and the café is transformed into a bar.
