THINK COFFEE

REVIEW

February 15, 2009


CUISINE: Coffeehouse, Desserts & Bakeries, Sandwiches, Soups
NEIGHBORHOOD: East Village, Greenwich Village

 

Dual Locations:

 

248 Mercer St between 3rd and 4th St

(p) 212-228-6226

 

1 Bleeker St at Bowery

(p) 212-533-3366

 

Since it’s basically an alternative to NYU dinning halls, prepared sandwiches like peanut butter and banana, mozzarella and vine ripened tomato, and Black Forest ham with farmhouse cheddar go pretty quickly.  Salads are made fresh to order and daily soup selections are posted on the chalkboard.  Baked goods, ice cream, and wine are also available.  The iced coffee at Think is cold brewed which eliminates the bitter taste and enhances natural flavors.  Lines at Think Coffee are long, seating is scarce, and Macs are everywhere.

71 Irving

REVIEW

February 8, 2009


CUISINE: Brunch, Coffeehouse, Sandwiches
NEIGHBORHOOD: Flatiron/Union Square

71 Irving Place

Between 18th and 19th st
(p) 212-995-5252

 

Cozy and crowded, 71 Irving offers more than just coffee and teas.  Many healthy options like granola and homemade hummus put up a good fight against the more gluttonous proscuitto panino and slew of baked goods.  A tad on the pricey side, but so is Starbucks. Go here instead.
