I am obsessed with Blue Bottle for their mochas and vibe, so I try to go to all of them. This one was great. I enjoyed the different seating options and the mocha was perfection. Sometimes they are a weaker but this one was the ultimate: perfect balance of chocolate and coffee.

One of those rare times Google needs more stars. First off, it's an exceptional cup of coffee. I haven't seen single-cup brewing like this anywhere in the U.S.! It's a very rich and flavorful honest cup of coffee - strong but without the burnt bean taste from that place from the Pacific Northwest. The cafe is very contemporary and clean, but the openness and woods make it inviting. The refrigerated beverages are great. The service is prompt and efficient - maybe a little Upper West, but that's ok. There are no packaged condiments and no plastic cutlery. LOVED THAT! A pet peeve of mine that we're burrying the world in single-serving containers for our own convenience. So what to do about taking a cup to go to someone who would want to add their own desired amount of sugar? The server puts some in a small cup on the side. My one and only complaint - the scone was stale. But, hey, forgivable when what I really went in for was the coffee

Fresh tasting coffee, delicious waffle, and great service! I was so happy to finally had the opportunity to visit this place. I used to go to the one in San Francisco and ever since then, there is no coffee like Blue Bottle. The taste is one of a kind. The staff at this place are friendly and seems like they enjoy what they are doing. Tables are very limited but it’s okay... this place has a fun vibe!

This is a nice coffee shop! Blue Bottle Coffee offers a nice selection on caffeinated drinks and beverages - definitely try their Hot Chocolate! The staff is friendly and the service is quick. They have a good amount of indoor seating but definitely consider getting your order to go. I wish I came here more often!

I was little curious when I walk in front of the shop, little blue with coffee . Interesting. Then I get entered. Then I found the smell of coffee. Sounds like it’s delicious, then I found coffee making going on each and every cup separately, first I observe then ask for a best seller coffee , sales man give me a dark roast coffee which is really worth full even one glass of coffee cost 4.63. I recommend.

Great coffee spot (anytime of day) for breakfast! Walked in and was greeted by a friendly barista which get warm and genuine on the cold winter morning. The store was clean and had a nice atmosphere. After deciphering the menu and talking about what coffee could be a pour over and options I decided on a pour over. It was super delicious and this place knew their beans and technique! It was super tasty too. They really know coffee definitely a nice start to your day and right by the subway! Come on in and try a pour over today! You won’t regret it! They also have mobile ordering to place orders ahead !

I had a cup of their New Orleans-style coffee. It is sweet and creamy with a nutty flavor, and it has a unique quality and taste. I surmise that it is the chicory that differentiates this drink from other iced coffee brands, and the drink is strong enough to get me through my entire work day. I can tell this is a popular neighborhood place, judging from the long line in the store. I just wish they had this coffee house in Suffolk County, Long Island where I live.
