5 Places to get your Daily Caffeine Fix in the City


The Top 5 Coffee Stops Right off the Christopher St. PATH Stop
Joe's The Art of Coffee
Nestled in Greenwich Village's cozy Waverly Place, this famous coffee spot turns the ordinary coffee into a piece of culinary art. While designing fun shapes with some frothed milk, baristas know how to make the ordinary cappuccino into a delicious masterpiece!
Located at 141 Waverly Place

Il Cantuccio
Looking for a real pick-me-up? Il Cantuccio's Italian roasts are sure to give any commuter a real kick in the butt! Along with their very reasonably priced panini's (I'm talking $3.50) and Italian desserts, how could you go wrong?
Located on the Corner of Bleeker and Christopher St.

Magnolia's Bakery
known for their outrageous lines, but oh-so-sweet buttery frosting, Magnolia's Bakery also brews their own brand of delicious coffee. While it is hard to resist the aromatic smell that consumes the bakery from their world-famous cupcakes, why not try something that might be much less of a guilty pleasure!
Located at 401 Bleeker St.

Cafe Angelique
Despite a strong opposition to the over-priced coffee and sweet baked treats, the occasional trip to Cafe Angelique is worth every penny! It's worth the sit-down price, this charmingly antique cafe gives any patron the feeling of entering a European Cafe.
On the side of your morning coffee?
Top Picks: The Vegan Chocolate Walnut Cookie, The Smoked Salmon Bagel Stick, or the buttery brioche.
located at 49 Grove St. (Corner of Bleeker)

Mojo Coffee
A coffee shop adorned with chalkboard menus, a laid back staff, in a little hideaway in the West Village. This is a perfect coffee joint to sit outside on a breezy fall afternoon. It's also the perfect place to stop for lunch because their pesto panini is out of this world!
located at 128 Charles St.

If there's one thing I learned on my Summer abroad in Europe it's that Starbucks is International, but simply overrated. Try something new and unique to spice up the ordinary day- you might be surprised to find your new favorite coffee spot!
