This boutique coffee shop – with eight locations throughout Manhattan – is a welcome change from the impersonal Starbucks culture. With amazing baristas and top-notch coffee brewed to perfection, it’s hard to rationalize going anywhere else for your on-the-go morning fix.

Menu recommendations: Roasted Coffee, Pistachio Cake – Francois Payard (Chef/Owner, Payard)
