    It is situated in a calm residential area and I could enjoy seeing local coffee lovers come and around drinking their cup of coffee. My flat white felt like it had a single shot, but the almond croissant was amazing. The cafe was super awesome and made my trip in NYC unforgettable

    LOVE the staff. The coffee’s very good. Love the lending library, too. My only knock is maybe they are TOO GOOD. I’m talking specifically about this location btw. It’s hard to drink at other places now. It’s like how Prince’s ex said it was hard to date after Prince cause Prince was PRINCE. Anyways, I really like that Espresso Tonic.

    Great coffee on the Upper West Side. Their drip coffee and their espresso are both well above average, and they make excellent lattes with a variety of different non-dairy milk options for those who prefer non-dairy.The Birch coffee on Columbus Avenue is a good place to grab a cup of coffee to go, or to sit and read or relax, as long as you can find a seat. It is often crowded and difficult to find good seating.It is not the best place to study, as finding a seat is unreliable and outlets and Wifi are sparse. If you do find a seat at one of the desks available, it is a nice place to get book studying done.

    Stopped by this coffee spot and was pleasantly surprised. They serve a solid double cortado with a delightful crema. The dry roast stands out, offering a distinct taste without being overly pretentious. Its a notch above your mainstream options like Starbucks but without the meticulousness of high-end coffee houses. A refreshing middle ground for coffee enthusiasts.

    The atmosphere? cozy. oat milk latte? delicious. staff? so nice. best place for coffee in the neighborhood. was my first time and am now a loyal customer. took it on a walk through central park and it was exactly what I needed!

    Matcha latte was not good. Low quality matcha.Cheddar scone was okay. Much better options at other nearby cafe

    Birch Coffee is so delicious, and the atmosphere inside of this coffee shop is so lovey!! :-) I visited for the first time this week while adventuring on the Upper West Side with my boyfriend. We ordered a drip coffee & a vanilla latte (hot) with oat milk to-go, each of which were so yummy. Also of note, the staff at Birch are so, so kind!! They made our visit all the more wonderful. We will absolutely be back!

  • Review 8 (2019-07-29 - Rating: 5)

    Such a lovely place for coffee and chilling. Coffee is yummy 😋, servers are awesome and they even sent me a birthday card with a complimentary coffee attached! What could be better? You should go! 96th and Columbus. Best place ever!

  • Review 9 (2024-09-22 - Rating: 5)

    5/5 purely because they have the best straws at a coffee shop. High quality plastic that isn’t flimsy.

  • Review 10 (2018-04-28 - Rating: 5)

    Very nice atmosphere, especially on weekdays when its less crowded. No WiFi, but plenty of seating. The drinks in general are very good, but I was a bit underwhelmed by the espresso. Minimal crema, and the flavor wasnt very complex. Not served with seltzer water, as is common at higher end coffee shops. That being said, I think they have some of the best cappuccinos and flat whites in the city.

  • Review 11 (2023-12-15 - Rating: 5)

    Really nice coffee shop. Delicious espresso blend. Friendly staff willing to talk coffee!

  • Review 12 (2024-05-03 - Rating: 5)

    Bakeries are not the best, but coffee is really good. Wide choice of coffee. One of the few places in town that makes a good espresso.A lot of places to sit and enjoy a coffee

  • Review 13 (2024-03-18 - Rating: 4)

    Staff was super nice! Chatted about travel and hometowns (we were both from Ohio) while they made our order. Also, lovely drinks!

  • Review 14 (2018-12-25 - Rating: 4)

    Its a cozy cafe with plenty of working table. The coffee is nice too. They have some seats with plugs but no wifi. And depends on time, sometimes it gets noisy.

  • Review 15 (2023-11-03 - Rating: 5)

    Favorite neighborhood coffee spot, easily. Unmatched and quite frankly unrivaled quality of food and drink. Anybody who chooses Starbucks down the street over this gem of a shop is probably a tourist.

    Just stopped for a coffee but really nice atmosphere! The girl at the counter was very nice!

    I liked my almond iced tea. Also there were many books to browse and a clean bathroom.

  • Review 18 (2023-08-14 - Rating: 5)

    My absolute favorite coffee shop ever! They have the best lattes in the city, and the place is spacious with lots of cozy spots to study. Definitely recommend stopping by!

  • Review 19 (2023-06-09 - Rating: 5)

    Friendlies coffee shop in NYC and great coffee too. I’m pretty boring and get an almond milk latte most days… sometimes add a syrup. I believe their milks and syrups are made in-house and you can taste the difference. Great punch card program too with your 10th cup free. Order ahead is through the Odeko app.

  • Review 20 (2024-04-26 - Rating: 5)

    Lovely cafe to work in. Super nice folks here and delicious drinks! We loved the blueberry matcha latte :)

    Absolutely the best coffee place in NYC. The baristas are the nicest and coolest I’ve ever met (especially in this city. Always amazing music and they care about teachers! Aline is always smiling no matter what and the rest of the staff is just awesome.

    Cute little cafe with great coffee. They don’t allow indoor seating, only outdoor one is available even in this winter. No wifi here.

  • Review 24 (2023-10-08 - Rating: 5)

    Great coffee, staff and atmosphere!

  • Review 25 (2019-05-21 - Rating: 4)

    If you want quality coffee then this is the place. If you dont mind paying a bit extra for that quality coffee then again, this is your place. I ordered a Cafe Latte with a different kind of milk and it was $5.25. Not the most expensive but not the regular price I pay for good coffee. Granted, it was good! But this place is missing on pastries. They only have a reduced selection of items and to be honest, they didnt look so good. Place is good, looked clean at the end of the day. Service on the counter was very good.

  • Review 26 (2023-03-19 - Rating: 5)

    This coffee shop is so cute. It has a good amount of tables and a bathroom, which can be hard to come by in the city. The matcha latte I had was delicious and furthermore the staff was so incredibly helpful. I have Celiac, which means I cant eat gluten or anything cross contacted with gluten. I wanted to try their oat milk in my latte, so I asked if it was certified gluten-free. The barista went to check, but couldnt see it on the package. I wouldve been content to just go ahead and use the Oatly instead. However, she started googling it, and when the manager overheard the conversation he called the manufacturer to check for me. By the way, if you do have Celiac the Nu Oatmilk is safe. I was blown away by the kindness of the employees to go so far out of their way to check on that for me. Highly recommend stopping by this cafe.

    A dependable small chain, this location is larger than others and features a lending library. 20% discount for teachers and students. Solid artisans espresso drinks, friendly staff.

    Excellent latte only vanilla flavor no orange spice blossom

  • Review 33 (2018-10-30 - Rating: 4)

    This place is cool and their coffee is great, but everything is a bit overpriced. The staff are friendly and its a nice atmosphere. Also, its good to know that while youll see people on their laptops, there is no wifi. They have some prepackaged light fare and juices, and some pastries.

  • Review 34 (2018-12-28 - Rating: 5)

    Positive vibes and smiling staff. I enjoyed my coffee and were able to do a meeting/interview in a very comfortable settings. Coffee is great, prices always could be better but decent.

  • Review 35 (2023-04-16 - Rating: 5)

    Yummy interesting lattes and best almond croissant I’ve ever had! Great helpful staff.

  • Review 36 (2014-11-09 - Rating: 4)

    Lovely spot on the west side. This branch is pretty big, with cute individual seating with lights on the wall at the back for laptop users. When I visited on a Sunday afternoon it was packed, but customers are encouraged to share their tables and chat to strangers. The giant bowl of hot chocolate I had was super.

  • Review 37 (2019-06-09 - Rating: 5)

    This might be my favorite coffee shop in NYC- and trust me, having explored everywhere from round k to devocion, I’ve landed squarely back at Birch. Such a fun and welcoming crew whips up top notch coffee that some how really is spot on each time. Try their Kyoto for a Summer time delight! They have a fun book area too.. and oat milk!

  • Review 38 (2019-02-05 - Rating: 5)

    Love this birch coffee the most put of all the birch. Its alleged has lots of seating room and the coffee is always on point. Their hot chocolate is also delicious and their scones and cookies dont disappoint. They dont have wifi which is the norm for their shops and they have covered up their outlets so dont look for a quick charge here. Still worth the stop for an hour or two.

  • Review 39 (2018-08-27 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent flat white, inviting atmosphere with plenty of seating, friendly staff, and book swap. I have been searching for a coffee place that is similar to the experience of KB Cafe in Paris, 9th arrondissement, and this is the best so far. While I don’t live nearby, it will be my weekend favorite.

  • Review 40 (2019-06-15 - Rating: 5)

    Like every other Birch coffee shop this place is as good as the rest and I choose to come here cause its close to work. The staff is friendly and overall the coffee is consistent day in and day out whether its the hot stuff or the cold stuff. No complaints.

  • Review 41 (2018-05-14 - Rating: 4)

    This Birch is close enough to central park to go pick up a really good coffee to sip while walking in the park. The guys behind the counter (Spring 2018) are really friendly, a bit goofy, but make excellent coffee. I always have a cookie with coffer and theirs were ok, not too chemical.

    Everything I tried was excellent! Will go every time Im in that area.

  • Review 45 (2015-09-08 - Rating: 5)

    One goes here for the coffee, and its one of the best in town. Dont expect a Starbucks over-roast and trendy iced blended milk shakes. Go here for a great espresso or cappuccino that can stand on its own without flavorings or sweetener out lots of milk.

  • Review 46 (2017-12-09 - Rating: 5)

    Even though this is a chain, it has a local feel to it. I went on a first date with a handsome, young med student, who is obsessed with coffee. They got his order right and mine as well. This location is obviously our favorite due to the memories.

  • Review 47 (2017-06-27 - Rating: 4)

    Relaxed, comfortable, WiFi-free atmosphere. Has a good mix of individual and community tables. Three Birch blend coffee is smooth basic brew.

  • Review 48 (2019-02-27 - Rating: 5)

    Great coffee, great atmosphere. Wish there was something like it in the Bloomingdale on Broadway area closer to Columbia University. Birch people - would you open another location here?

  • Review 49 (2022-01-10 - Rating: 5)

    Best coffee place ever, I had to go twice during my nyc trip. We tried other places but Birch coffee made me the best latte. Thank you!!

  • Review 50 (2016-03-07 - Rating: 5)

    Sure sure - come here and get a cup of coffee. But do NOT skip the grilled cheese sandwich. What an amazing surprise. It is so good and the sprinkle just a little salt on top that makes the whole sandwich irresistible.

  • Review 51 (2016-07-01 - Rating: 5)

    The best chai latte in NYC! My favorite thing about Birch chai is the foam: thick, white and spoonable. I never go there in a rush or grab a cup to take away, I always plan to have enough time to sit next to the window and enjoy the drink.

  • Review 52 (2018-09-29 - Rating: 5)

    Love birch and their staff is always really great! Get a points card- it’s worth it! Cold brew in the jug is great too, when you bring it back you get $5 off

    I had a triple shot espresso latte with oat milk and it was too sweet. I’d recommend half the oat milk. The GF/Vegan cinnamon coffee cake was delicious.

  • Review 56 (2013-05-10 - Rating: 5)

    They have cold brew iced coffee on tap!! Were drinking a cappuccino and an iced cappuccino right now with a fromage blanc danish. This uptown outpost has generous sun-dappled seating and consistently excellent coffee.

  • Review 57 (2023-06-08 - Rating: 4)

    It’s a place very nice. The coffe is delicius and also the blueberry muffin. I paid $ 11 for both.It’s important to know that the place has not wifi. You’ve to use a public network but it is not working very well.

  • Review 58 (2024-06-09 - Rating: 4)

    I like to order my coffee/croissant online through the Odeko app. It’s a very convenient pick up service. But often they forget to put a plain croissant in the App. I came there today and said that I couldn’t order a plain croissant through the App since they didn’t put it there . I expected them to do it right away - they usually do it. But today i was told to go and wait in line in order to buy it. I was very surprised. Their service is normally good. I left the shop and went to a different coffee shop to get what I wanted.

    Birch loves you.And I really liked it. I had a cappuccino. It was all I really expect from one, plus this sweet little detail in the cup.My wife had a mocha and I took a few sips. It was sweet but not overpoweringly so; you could still taste the coffee. That’s super important, in our books.Try it out. The food options were good as well.

  • Review 63 (2020-02-25 - Rating: 5)

    You know why I traveled 40+ minutes to get to this place? Because they have Hemp milk as an option. Not to mention, their food and service is awesome and the look and feel of their place is very welcoming.

    An affordable cup of coffee with a good atmosphere. Friendly baristas, great for working or studying, drinks are good. There’s a 20% discount for teachers and students as well.There is a bathroom, but no Wi-Fi for Birch.

    Hip coffee place (think hipster) with decent seating and some pricey cups

    Coffee was okay but not great. More of a chain style.

    Tired of Starbucks? Try this one and enjoy the true and honest taste of coffee. Also a great buffet with a choice of sweets and bakery! Hands down the best coffee you’ll find near Madison Square Park. It’s usually very busy, but the staff is friendly and efficient so the line moves quickly. This location also has a cozy reading nook with small wooden tables and chairs that make it easy to set up shop and enjoy a long coffee break.

    Honestly I’ve been looking for good coffee in America for a month and I’ve finally found it. Coffee was perfect and you didn’t burn the coffee or milk like many other places. (Aussie in NYC 🇦🇺)

    Love the coffee here, and the service is great

  • Review 143 (2019-12-11 - Rating: 5)

    I ordered a hazelnut chocolate muffin and a jasmine green tea. Both were delicious. Im so glad I decided to sit and enjoy my mid-morning snack instead of taking it to-go because it was nice to watch people catch up with friends in this cozy atmosphere. Ill be sure to stop by if Im in the area again (:

    Best Latte I have had so far!

  • Review 145 (2019-11-07 - Rating: 5)

    This is a cozy, study-friendly coffee shop with great coffee. The tea is just as delicious. I had the Toasted Almond tea this time. The atmosphere is calm, and you dont feel rushed if you hang out for a bit. The bathroom is clean, and the baristas are kind. Bonus: there are ample places to plug in if you need to.

    Solid performer for coffee. They also serve tea.

    Good coffee/espresso, lots of room to sit, talk, study, etc.

  • Review 148 (2013-05-12 - Rating: 5)

    So happy that Birch finally happened !!! Their coffee does not fail the high expectations. Have only tried their iced coffee so far - so fragrant ! The ambience is very cozy. Seating is spacious in NY standard, making this cafe a great place to work/read/chat. This place has been filled ever since they opened, which speaks to how much people love this place. Will return soon!

    Nice Americano, not overly watered down as they do at some places.

    Very good coffee!

  • Review 152 (2014-05-31 - Rating: 4)

    Loved the iced coffee at this location. I have my reservations about the staff asking me if I want room for milk so that they can put it in.The coffee was brewed very well and they used amazing beans. It did not need sugar after all.The space is big and airy; although I did not eat anything, I can see they make amazing quick bites. Most people were eating something that either looked amazing or smelled very fresh.

    Birch is quality coffee, simple as that. And their iced mocha is divine. I always make it a point to come here when I’m in the city.

  • Review 154 (2018-06-06 - Rating: 5)

    Quiet, lots of space to sit and have a proper adult conversation. Clean bathroom. Lots of alt milk and GF food options. Coffee is decent. Cappuccino could have been frothier. People were helpful and friendly and patient, in NYC that means something.

    Nice little cozy place with a funny game who should help people get together. My favorite is the chocolate doughnut 🍩 and usually go for latte ... service is fast and friendly! My advice go ahead and enjoy a nice coffee ☕️
