Suitey Pick #3
Sicaffe
We love:
We loved their Sunflower Seed Flagel and their Triestino Dopio (cappuccino)
“This is one of the greatest coffee spots in the UES. You walk into this relaxing atmosphere and instantly smell roasting beans and fresh coffee brewing. They roast right on the premises which adds to the coffee house feel of this location. Additionally they have a wonderful selection of green, herbal and black teas. Also, try the almond biscotti, delicious.”- Gesselle C.

Suitey Pick #2
Joe
We love:
Their Apricot and Thyme Scone and the Espresso Macchiato.
“The space is clean. The iced coffee, both the traditional and the cold brewed, is fantastic! The service is great. The baristas always greet me with a smile. Their salted chocolate chip cookie is sooo good. They have frequent drinker punch cards! If you buy 10, you get the 11th free. They have a great location. And have I mentioned those salted chocolate chip cookies…”- Raisa B.

Suitey Pick #1
Oslo
We love:
Their Dirty Chai and their knowledge of the brew, plus these guys roast in Brooklyn!
“Normally, I’m a drip kinda gal, but as Oslo is on the coffee purist (European) side of the coin, seems like they only do made-to-order drinks espresso, so I got an Americano. Smoothest, most mellowy delicious Americano I’ve ever had. And I’m not one to just promiscuously toss around superlatives.”- Jessica S.
