I love this coffee shop. The staff is super friendly and they provide amazing customer service! I work in the area and try to make it a point to stop by at-least twice a day for a coffee and a chat. I just wish the same staff was always working. I’m a huge fan of Sesh, Zam, Jen & Marissa! I look forward to the great coffee and the same friendly staff. I don’t mind the new people but the vibe just isn’t the same without the same staff the neighborhood has come to love.

This location is tucked just around the corner...I went in on my search for a chocolate chip scone...let me start by saying I'm sorry I only purchased one...best scone so far...it was fresh and not too sweet... both top of my list of prerequisites for a great scone...I will definitely purchase again.

My favorite coffee in Manhattan and this is also the branch of Birch coffee which has the best prepared coffee and really good peanut butter cookies . I wish they had more seating so one could enjoy a place to drink one’s coffee . The cafe has all the necessities needed for your caffeine fix , all provided in a very tiny space . Nothing is lacking except seats . The service is friendly and fast too .

Super cute coffee shop in upper east side ! I was looking for a last iced americano before leaving New York. I was not disappointed. The place itself is tiny, like a small corner shop. It is really cute. The staff is very kind and they have good selection of drinks and pastries. I have to come back !

Delicious coffee and cozy atmosphere. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. But I would like more space where you can sit and enjoy coffee
