The West Village is arguably one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in NYC, making it the perfect place to grab coffee, people watch and walk around feeling like you’re in a movie. Here are some great spots to grab coffee! (secret clue: smile)
Do Not Feed Alligators
Do Not Feed Alligators is a laptop free, so if you’re looking for a spot to work this isn’t it. However, it encourages people to talk to one another, read, journal and collaborate. They also sell books and have a “book menu” that you can order from!
See MoreHungry Ghost Coffee
Hungry Ghost has a big, beautiful window with a ledge that you can sit at and people watch while you enjoy your coffee. It’s located in the heart of the West Village and is the perfect spot for a solo coffee date.
See MoreFellini Cucina
Fellini Coffee is less of a coffee shop and more of a coffee bar. Arguably the smallest coffee shop in NYC, it’s located on a tiny, triangular corner and has outdoor seating only. Still, in the spring and summer it’s a wonderful spot to grab coffee.
See MoreBar Pisellino
Bar Pisellino celebrates a classic Italian bar, but during the day it’s a great spot to grab an espresso and bomboloni. Located on a corner in the heart of the West Village, it’s prime for people watching and a lively spot during warmer weather.
See MoreCafé Kitsuné West Village
Café Kitsuné is located on the corner of a bustling street, has indoor and outdoor seating, and is the perfect spot to catch up with a friend over coffee.
See MorePaquita
Paquita is the cutest little shop and has a great assortment of teas, but I love going for coffee. It’s a cozy and intimate space where you’re surrounding by bobs and bits that you can purchase. They have outdoor seating as well.
See MoreBuvette
Buvette does get crowded on the weekends, so I suggest going for an early morning coffee during warmer months. Located on a prime West Village tree-lined street, it really makes you feel part of the neighborhood.
