Basic coffee shop. They've got a very standard menu espresso menu, but have no syrups or flavoring for their drinks other than simple syrup or honey. Still, the latte with simple syrup was very good and the place is a good spot to sit and read a book. Edit: Went back and tried their matcha. Good stuff!

Hands down the best coffee in all of New York! Gotham Coffee Roasters is a must visit for all real coffee drinkers. You will not be disappointed! I order all of my coffee beans for home from their website. It gets delivered directly to my door freshly roasted and unlike anything else I can find. So when I’m visiting New York I have to stop by their cafe. The space is small but mighty. If there is a line, it never lasts long as the baristas move quickly. There are only a handful of tables, but I always seem to find a seat to enjoy my coffee. Gotham Coffee is know for their high quality coffee beans from all over the world, perfectly roasted, and you can taste the difference. They have beans from Guatemala, Mexico, Colombia, and Ecuador. They have bags of whole beans available for purchase at the cafe as well. The staff are super knowledgeable and friendly as well. They also serve multiple milk alternatives which is nice. 5/5 stars, Gotham Coffee Roasters is true NYC coffee experience.

The service is good, the spot is clean and the cinnamon babka is AMAZING. My daughter and I came here because of the name (nananananananana Batman) and we’ll be back for another coffee date. Highly recommend. My daughter gave the chocolate croissant a and the cappuccino was “mid” My mocha was good, but I think if used a different milk it would have been better.

Very fresh bakery and tasty coffee, their coffee beans are very high quality which is making their coffee very smooth and tasty.(their prices are very fair to the quality they are providing which is not common to see now days sadly) Will visit soon again! Btw , thanks for making my coffee quickly even it was 4 shots!

Gotham’s known for having darker roasts than what’s trendy among the “third wave cafes”. Dark roasts often destroy the beans’ character. Here the pourover tasted clean and complex with notes of tobacco and herbs. My initial thought was “this would pair wonderfully with a cigarette” even though I quit smoking years back.

The perfect 4 shot iced latte is found here. The aftertaste of this coffee is the best. Come here only if you love coffee The service was quick and pleasant. The outdoor seating was nice to people watch and relax. We will be back (Only had coffee so can’t comment on the tasty looking pastries offered as we grabbed doughnuts across the street.)

I would go here everyday if I lived closer. Thank you to the handsome barista with the glasses for a wonderful matcha latte with oat milk. Great options for vegans, great coffee! I bought some to take home and prepare in my french press.
