They were very communicative with me about a slight error in my order. I am very pleased with the beans I ordered and their level of customer service. Great business!
Came here for their famous deconstructed latte. Unique experience of enjoying a cup of latte in a wine glass and the ability to customize the ratio of milk and espresso was interesting. It does come with a high price tag, but it’s worth a try if you’re a fan of latte.
Nice little place with expertly poured coffees. My cortado was perfect.
Neighborhood coffee shop located on Fifth street. havent been here in a bit--over a year...there are some seating options inside and more outside. the interior is simple and neat--superclean with a good amount of light. quiet vibes here on the weekday afternoons.the drinks coffee served here are good. had the nitro cold, last time i was here. tasted good--the nitro was not as rich and smooth as it was in the past. not sure if the nitro bubbles being injected were weaker or perhaps the coffee used was changed. it was a bit different than in the past. still a fine cup of chilled coffee. nitro / $5ish + tipservice is fast and efficient, a bit quiet...not much chatter.
Perfection a good spirit make this New York’s top coffee shop
My favorite coffee shop in East Village. A cozy neighborhood place where in the morning you can see people grabbing their coffee in pajamas. The espresso-based coffee are smooth and nutty, have that dark chocolate flavor. There are a bunch of twisted version of coffee drinks (nitro cold brew float for example) and single origin pour over so you can always find something that fits your day. There are quite a bunch of outdoor seats during the pandemic which is pretty amazing. A great place for coffee or just some quality time for yourself.
We visited NYC for a week and wanted to try a local coffee place. If you love coffee and are in to modern/new this is the place for you. My wife and I each got a deconstructed latte and we are happy we gave it a try!! They have been open just over a year but it is a must visit while in NYC! The owners are super chill and incredibly pleasant. You can tell that they really love what they do and truly value their customers. Its a little small so during busy hours can be a bit of a wait but most definitely worth it if you have the time!!
I visited about 6 specialty coffee shops during my 2-day visit to New York and Coffee Project stands as the best one — prime quality coffee sourced, roasted, and brewed with great care.
The place is as hipster as it can be, so worth a visit if you’re into it. Even if not, you will be able to taste some really great coffee. We had the deconstructed latte and a 2-version nitro as first timers, and both were delicious. Service was also good, and they explained how every coffee should be consumed. Nice place!
Cozy little cafe with really tasty pastries and some delicious (as well as unusual) coffees. They do a deconstructed latte which comes in three glasses (a shot of espresso, milk, then a full espresso). It’s playful and interesting, but the straight up coffee options are also impressive. Highly recommended.
Awesome hip coffee place. Warning: no laptops or tablets on weekends.I loved the decor and the interesting drinks. The food options were very good too. Not cheap, but seems pretty standard for the city, and some of the offerings here are not drinks you would get every weekend (deconstructed latte and cold brew flight).As our barista gave us our drink with a cookie on the plate, he noted that if either of us had a peanut allergy, we should stay far away from the cookie. Im not sure if thats how severe peanut allergies work... Might be better to warn us ahead of time.
Great coffee shop with some truly interesting offering (the deconstructed latte). Staff is knowledgeable and friendly, made visitors feel very welcomed, especially first time in NYC. Kudos.We will definitely visit again!
The shop is a little small, but seats are spacious and very nice setting inside the shop. I ordered deconstructed, which I liked the concept where you got to try the very raw original flavor of the espresso before consuming the latter. I also ordered a chocolate hazelnut scone, which was alright. I could not taste a strong chocolate or hazelnut flavor from the scone. Overall, this place is nice, and I will revisit.
My friend had the project number 1 which is a deconstructed cappuccino (1 espresso, 1 glass of milk, 1 actual cappuccino and a waffle) and it was great. I on the otherwise had an iced chai latte which was below average. Very sweet, not much flavor besides sugar... What I liked was that they had almond milk.
I was very pleased with this shop. The cappuccino and the sandwich that I ordered taste very good and better. Besides, I appreciated the presence of the waiter and the waitress a lot. They were nice, professional, and accurate to what was the order. The place was also captivating. It was clean, stylish, and cool. I will come back!
Experiencing the signature Deconstructed Latte: espresso shot, steamed milk, warm latte, sparkling water. The best experience ever! They claims that you will taste it better when you drink from left to right.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff, who made us feel welcomed immediately, without being intimidating or annoying. Theres a lot of choice, and the staff recommended drinks and food, and then which coffee beans for our drinks. Coffee was delicious and strong, with beautiful art. Croissant was delicious too. Would highly recommend!
I fell in love with this place! Nice cozy little hole in the wall❤️ The people that work there are so lovely & pleasant. The owner is charming and was the person that took our order...shes all smiles😊. My husband and I had lattes; what a beautiful cup of coffee!!😍 I just wanted to stare at it all day Lol! And the flavor was devine, creamy & delicious. We also ordered the avocado smashed croussant sandwich, it had some heat to it with the red pepper flakes, but was pleasantly tasty. I cant wait to go back to Manhatten and visit Coffee Project again for my hot latte fix. I just love a beautiful and delicious cup of coffee! 😋☕ Def a must try coffee shop!!
Awesome drip coffee and great, friendly service! They also have some other interesting drinks that Ill definitely try next time.Follow my Instagram @thephotographerfoodie :)
One of my favorite coffee places in the city! The staff are always so friendly, and the espresso is consistently delicious. I especially love getting a latte with vanilla almond milk. Highly recommend!
I have heard so much about the Coffee Project via Instagram and online and I had to try it out. Its a great cozy cafe with a very welcoming vibe. Its quite small with limited seating so make sure you grab a table when you enter.We ordered the deconstructed coffee and a regular coffee. I loved the whole feel and the different way to serve coffee and it was a lovely experience without a doubt. However, the coffee itself didnt taste good so thats why I had to rate this place 3/5 for the lack of good tasting coffee. It was extremely mild, even a little bit of added milk made it too milky and more mild. I like my coffee on the medium-strong side so because of this preference I didnt enjoy the coffee itself. I wish the coffee tasted better and theres no doubt this place would be rated higher.

We tried their de-constructed coffee project! It included one coffee shot, one milk, one latte and one cup of sparkling water( also with butter waffle cookie) nice experience! It was a tiny shop but worth visit:)
Great coffee quality. The ice latte is my favorite. The matcha latte is good too. We order their Crowd Pleaser House Espresso bean to make our coffee at home.
A must visit coffee shop in NYC!! You can have different taste of coffee style from the set. Space is small though, be ready to wait!
Its a tiny cafe. There was not many customers when I went there, and I ordered macchiato. It took a while to serve my coffee. I guess the reason is that other customers were ordering their significant deconstructed latte... However, it tasted good and staffs were friendly, so its OK.
Decent coffee shop. Deconstructed latte is a little gimmicky. Good coffee but for $12 absolutely not worth it. They should also streamline the QR code instructions for how to enjoy it. The video is like 2-3 minutes long -- a simple sentence or two would have been much faster to read. Nice workers. Good snacks. No bathroom.
Excellent coffee here, like all should be ! Very friendly staff, the place is small and cosy, very chill, several type of grains and way to do your coffee. Whole milk and other options available. A great place really
Delicious nitro brew and nitro float! The deconstructed latte is a pretty piece of art but I prefer my coffee not deconstructed.The service here is always super friendly and attentive. Theyre good people!
Adventurous coffee shop that hates your laptop or tablet - so disconnect from the matrix for a while and chill with a deconstructed latte or a caffeinated coconut water - hydrate and elevate in one drink.

Very good espresso shot. Unique menu items. Cool gear. Exceptional pour over. Professional service. Worth the trip.
Great atmosphere! Good coffee and berry scones, and super kind staff! Definitely recommend going there instead of you-know-which coffee shop chain.
Good coffee and the deconstructed Latte is a really unique take on the drink. Seating is a little tight, so expect to be in tight quarters, but service is prompt and good!
Friendly staffs with comfy smile, latte and bakeries are affordable, but small space with ten or a bit more small seats..
Best coffee shop for the discerning palette. Lots of pour over options as well as the usual espresso drinks all beautifully crafted with care and love. Dare I say best coffee shop in the city?
The best thing about Coffee Project is the staff and excellent ambiance . I also love the wonderful people that frequent this sweet cafe. Every time I’ve been, there has been a vegan food item! The coffee is very nice.Great place to chat with a friend or even go solo for reading, writing, or thinking. When I’m spending a long day in the city , I love to stop off at this cafe for a rest and a coffee. There is a bathroom which makes it a WINNER... on my list always.The space is charming but small so you must get lucky or visit at the .”right” time.
Very friendly staff and awesome vibes at this cozy coffee shop! Loved their Chai Latte - I will definitely be back to try their coffee flight soon.
As a person whom need coffee and never been here before, this place was a real treat. Being an out of towner, great little place with good pastry and esp. coffee! Next time in town, I will be back!
Fantastic specialty coffee. Pour over with multiple options of coffees, techniques, and hot/iced. Balanced, bright, and smooth.Deconstructed latte was unique and fun.A bit pricey but well worth it - this isnt your typical mocha latte spot
I fell in love with this place! Nice cozy little hole in the wall❤️ The people that work there are so lovely & pleasant.

I cant wait to go back to Manhattan and visit Coffee Project again for my hot latte fix. I just love a beautiful and delicious cup of coffee!
Friendly, lovely and informative staff! Nice cozy place to meet up with friends to catch up. Seating is limited tho.
This place is fantastic! Nice, cozy little café with great service and delicious drinks. The staff is really great to help you find just the right drink youre looking for. For me traveling to NYC from Chicago, I would definitely suggest this spot to anyone seeking something good to drink.
Great coffee shop with quality coffee. I heard a lot about her and so I decided to stop by. A very wide variety of drinks and it’s hard to choose what you like
Every part of the deconstructed latte was delicious. If you suffer from caffeine addiction like the rest of us, it was definitely an experience worth having.
If you like a coffee, you should go here.It was cool place:)) When I visited there, I knew why many people like, love it.
I went to this coffee shop for a sip of coffee, as it was near my hotel, and I was pleasantly surprised! The cappuccino was good, and the cannolis are nice, too. The guy who delivered our coffee was very kind and patient with us. Its a very nice and inexpensive coffee shop. We have enjoyed our experience here. If you love coffee, I highly recommend this place!
London fog is my love.
Great coffee. They have lots of flavor options to choose from for their pour over coffees. Service is fast and friendly. Came here for a couple of coffees during our visit. Coffee came out fast and tasted great
Nothing new to add. The deconstructed latte is a treat!
Super friendly and kind staff, excellent flat white and chocolate banana honey croissant. Highly recommend!
Get the deconstructed latte or nitro flight. Theres seating but not a whole lot of it so I could see it getting crowded. Fine when I went around lunch time.
A beautifully crafted coffee shop that makes even better coffee!!! Highly recommended.
Super friendly staff! The deconstructed latte was fun and really good! Great canele too!
High-end coffee technology, amazing coffee, cool aesthetic, discrete location. Egg salad croissant is amazing.
Best Cold Brew ever!Sun and Kaleena made me love coffee for the first time! And I’m Italian!They are amazing!Every day I was walking there and order two cold brews, for me and my wife, and a delicious sticky bun!I also attended their various events and pairing coffee with salty finger food and sweet combinations. Fantastic experiences!Recommended: 10 stars out of 5!
Our family like this Coffee Project New York | East Village place. Their Coffee Project New York | East Village/ice cream is not too sweet and flavory. The store is very tiny and cozy. The kid addicted to their bunny, piggy and many other styles. We tried and like most of their flavors except strawberry. Which taste not like strawberry at all.
The place is as hipster as it can be, so worth a visit if you’re into it. Even if not, you will be able to taste some really great coffee. We had the deconstructed latte and a 2-version nitro as first timers, and both were delicious. Service was also good, and they explained how every coffee should be consumed. Nice place!
One of my favorite coffee places in New York.If you are bored from Starbucks, then this place is worth the visit.Coffee is a bit expensive, but the taste of the dark roast is really good.
Tasty coffee, delicious pastry. The owner is such a nice and cool person. The ambience of this place is awesome. Definitely recommend!
The aroma inside this place is worth a few stars alone ! The espresso is out of this world
Phenomenal experience. The baristas were helpful and conversational. The latte I ordered was the best coffee I’ve had in NYC.
Awesome drip coffee and great, friendly service! They also have some other interesting drinks that Ill definitely try next some more next time.
On my trip to LES, I stumbled upon Coffee Project New York after checking out their Instagram feed featuring their coffee flight. The coffee shop itself is very small and has limited seating, but it was no short of NYU students and locals dropping by to pick up a cup of joe. I decided to try out their latte coffee flight, which came with one shot of their house espresso, milk, and then latte itself. Once you are served the flight, they instruct you to follow some simple instructions using a video so that you can maximize the experience.As a coffee lover myself, I enjoyed the coffee flight experience. The espresso tasted wonderful and you can really get the flavor notes more than if you ordered the latte itself. Yeah, it seems gimmicky and it’s a bit expensive at $12, but if you’re looking for a unique experience in the city or are an avid coffee lover, I think it’s worth the try.
Since we wanted to spend time here, we came here for coffee last week. We enjoy chit-chatting over a coffee cup. We picked this spot because one of the best places to get coffee is here. I just think chocolate overwhelms coffee, so you may think youre drinking hot chocolate. A try is worth it!
Good quality espresso drinks and interesting options like a deconstructed latte and espresso tonic. The cortado was perfect.
We stopped in for a quick cup of coffee, and saw the deconstructed latte so opted to try it. Its literally a deconstructed latte - espresso (chocolate tones), frothed warm milk, and then the latte all together. It was delicious and such a unique way to serve it. My sister enjoyed the latte and warmed almond croissant. Its small with only a few tables, and the signs state to working on computers on the weekend. However, the coffee is worth to stop in for and then find somewhere else to work!
Wasnt great, honestly. I came herev over many other options because if the reviews but was pretty unimpressed. Their deconstructed latte gimmick was cute. Unfortunately, the coffee was roasted well below the level they are thing to be at. None of the natural flavors of the coffee were evident in the espresso or drip. There coffee was drinkable, but thats all I can say about it.Edit: I wont edit the original review, I appreciate the establishments feedback and added a star. I guess my feedback would be that it would be helpful to more clearly indicate that the default offerings are fairly dark and not necessarily what one would expect from a higher end shop. Thanks again for the thoughtful reply.
Love the staff, the espresso and the no laptop policy on the weekends...Everything about this place is great!! Will come back
Im really lucky that I had the option to attempt it and it was great in light of the fact that everything here is astounding and fulfilling. Likewise, the assistance is exceptional, and I like to suggest these folks for that!
A new, super creative coffee place. I had the nitrogen infused cold brew which was very smooth and had a very interesting texture. Per there suggestion I had it without milk or cream, and I recommend doing the same. They have some other interesting takes on coffee like a deconstructed latte. Im sure they have WiFi but I didnt check as I was too interested in the coffee!This place is a great date spot, ample seating for the amount of space they have and youll have something interesting to talk about right off the bat. The staff is also super friendly! I cant wait to come back.
Exceptional service here. We were being tourists and got the deconstructed latte and nitro flight. Which is a must try! We were explained thoroughly on how to drink the latte to get the flavor detail. Everything was great and very high quality coffee. Definitely will come back next time we are in the city!
Some of the best coffee Ive had in New York. If youre a coffee snob or take your coffee dead seriously, or just want to try some really high end excellent stuff, this is the place to start. Staff is awesome -- very friendly and helpful. Knowledgeable about what theyre doing and how to prepare a great cup.What really sets these guys apart from other cafés are their unique menu items: the deconstructed latte and iced coffee with tonic water. Both are awesome.And if you want just some regular drip or espresso, these guys make mean ones.
If you are a coffee lover this is the right place for you!! This Deconstructed coffee it’s amazing... u take it step by step, starting with the soda to clean you palate and end up with the delicious cookie. Prices are good. This Deconstructed coffee and this delicious sandwich was $14.00 ..
Saw pictures of the deconstructed latte all over Instagram so I knew I had to come check this place out. Its probably the most interesting drink youll ever consume. For $7, you get a shot of espresso, a glass of milk, and a cup of latte. The espresso tasted pretty bad. It was really bitter and sour. Maybe coffee experts would like it but for common folks like me, Ill pass. The milk was a little foamier than regular milk and I thought it was ok. The constructed latte was good because I dont like my coffee to be too sweet and they dont add any sugar to it. The sparkling water acts as a palette cleanser and the biscuit is for sweetness. Overall, I really like the concept and the fact that its so aesthetically pleasing. The place is pretty small and there are only like 12 seats inside so try to come at an off time. Decor is really nice. Rounding up because service was excellent!
Cutest coffee shop!
This is a great place. Stumbled upon this place while contemplating breakfast one day and found this place. Their food was exceptional. So far Ive tried all of their breakfast burritos and I can tell you all of them are excellent. Their other breakfast items are also awesome. Good portions, fresh, cooked to order, and tastes great. Highly recommend.
Amazing atmosphere here & I recommend the Nitro cold brew coffee it was fantastic Ill be returning next time I visit NYC
Nice atmosphere, good service and good coffee. A pleasure to meet friends there for a quick chat
After seeing so many pictures of the deconstructed latte of course I had to try it and photograph it for myself! It was definitely an interesting experience and I really enjoyed it. If you dont like coffee or are particularly averse to the bitterness, this probably isnt for you. However, if you are an addict such as myself, its worth a try. Most things on the menu are pretty pricey so for me personally, I dont think I would make a habit out of coming there. There was a decent variety of desserts and they had some vegan and gluten-free options for those interested in that.The place itself is really small and there isnt much place to sit. Something that I liked is that most of the tables have a sign basically states that laptops and tablets are not allowed and to enjoy your coffee and the conversation. You dont see a lot of that these days because most coffee shops have become places for people to do their work so it was a welcome sight.
A typical Manhattan coffee shop with expected prices. You cant get a coffee here for less than $4, and there is no reason to pay that much considering the quality. The experience is certainly not unique (there are 100s of other places with the identical feel and style) and the coffee itself is nothing spectacular. Overall, Id recommend saving some money and getting the same cup of coffee for a quarter the price at a bodega or chain coffee shop.
Came back several times on a trip to NYC - we favored this shop over all other coffee in Manhattan.The deconstructed latte was very interesting and worth trying, though the real star of the show was their nitro cold brew. Ive had 4 or 5 before, but this was the best, and was worth drinking in winter. Hot coffee and espresso was also quite good.The owners are very kind and knowledgeable, and they spoke to us at length on more than one visit, offered samples, and were generally friendly.
Loved the vibe and the distinct presentation of deconstructed latte.

Great quality coffee, locally roasted and brewed. Nitro cold brew is excellent! Real coffee flavor and that creamy nitro texture. Has outdoor seats on a quiet leafy street.
So they don’t allow laptops on the weekends at this coffee shop, which basically makes it super lame for students and people studying. That being said, the coffee and lattes are really good and the space is cute and artsy.Tons of first-daters here aka perfect place to people watch.

Nice and pleasant place to enjoy my coffee to begin my day. Clean place with friendly staff. Various coffee options to select from. Definitely give this place a try. A bit busy but waiting time is not that bad at all.
I was a bit hesitant to try this place out as social media led me to believe it was a bit of coffee snobbery, with its nitro brew and deconstructed lattes. I was wrong; this place is amazing! The staff was super friendly (no snobbery at all), and the establishment frequently supports social causes (such as international womens day). The coffee is deeeeeelicious and worth every penny. The super smooth nitro brew is a must!
Best coffee shop for the discerning palette. Lots of pour over options as well as the usual espresso drinks all beautifully crafted with care and love. Dare I say best coffee shop in the city?
We tried the coffee flight where you drink espresso, then the milk, and finally the two combined. Its a great way to really see how those different elements interact. Other than that, the coffee itself was great and we loved the atmosphere. Also tried a coffee mixed with sparkling water which was very interesting and definitely worth trying for anyone who likes either of those things separately.
Cotton Sail does not do food, so for a three block walk don miss Coffee Project NY. Order what you want, have a seat and it is brought to your table . Croissants are delicious and fruit bowl with many assorted fruits! May be a line but it goes fast so worth the wait.
Love this place! Such high quality coffee and good service. There are good seating options!We come here to hang out or study. I have good experiences here and the workers seem happy to be working there which sets a positive vibe for the place!
Im basing this review on the Nitro Flight. The nitro coffee was good, but for $8, I expected something a little more. More coffee would have sufficed. I do enjoy the coffee, but Im not sure I would really recommend the flight; a regular nitro coffee would be a better value. Also, through no fault of its own, the space is pretty tight. There are about 12 seats, but, given the popularity of this space, things can get tight quickly. That said, the baristas are very friendly and willing to make your visit pleasant.Taste: 4/5Portions: 2/5Price: 3/5Atmosphere: 2/5Service: 5/5
A cool place to go to take your friends here. As you can see from the other reviews they make a beer flight styled coffee. It was good coffee (a bit acidic for my taste) but I didnt notice anything special in terms of taste. Its more for the presentation.
Everything was top notch….coffee, service, atmosphere. I wish I had been hungry enough to try a pastry….they be looked amazing.
Delicious, creative drinks and nice pastries or little sandwiches. What could be bad?
Another great little coffee shop. Though they need to give more espresso with their deconstruction.
Deconstructed latte is a fun, tasty experience. Recommend doing once for sure
The mistake we made here was getting a drink to go - I wished wed had time to order drinks to stay so that we could have tried the namesake project drinks. One was a cold brew variation and the other was an espresso - latte combination. The cappuccino we did try was fantastic and the staff was extremely warm and friendly. Theres some seating; the space is typically cozy for an East Village venue.
Quaint place with great coffee. I had a drink with toasted coconut water, and a shot of espresso that was really good! It was slightly sweet but the toasted coconut and coffee came through and mixed very well.
Great (and really strong) coffee with A+ customer service (and human decency tbh).Small space but actually a lot of seating. Theres a hidden table in the back as well as bar seating all around. On weekends you cant use your laptop but otherwise really nice space to catch up with a friend or chill in. I got a croissant which they toasted which was great (but very flaky haha) and a latte on my first visit. The latte is strong af. I didnt sleep til 3am that night lol but Im also very affected but coffee (although usually not this much).Now to the people - thank you, thank you! Not only when I was there everyone was super friendly and nice. But I actually dropped my AirPod (I know, such a first world problem) and they returned it and answered my message via Yelp. Thank you!!Would recommend.
Coffee was great . The puff was fantastic
The best almond cortado in the city. Im a coffee snob on a nondairy kick at the moment, Ive frequented a lot of establishments persuing coffee perfection. This place produces artful coffee or the highest quality. Smooth, drinkable, not a hint of bitterness. Recommended, look forward to trying out their cows milk coffees in future.
Im always trying to scope out the best coffee places when I travel and Im really glad I made the small trek to this place (twice because the first time I came it was closed). We got the deconstructed latte and the nitro flight. I especially liked how the barista took the time to bring us the order and explain what we ordered.
Very lovely tiny coffee shop. Their deconstructed latte is great and impressive. They also offer non caffeine drinks. Whats more - there is wifi and couple of power outlets - for those who need the atmosphere to work.
Hands down the best ham & cheese croissant Ive ever had. Coffee was delightful as well. Very smooth. Ill 100% be back.
If youre a coffee fanatic, this is a great place for you. These people are SERIOUS coffee peeps! Pourovers galore! Not the kind of place you ask for decaf! LMAO. They had drip and all the espresso drinks.This is not really the type of place I would go to everyday, but more for an occasional serious coffee drink. Staffing was very friendly. I had a piece of cake that was a little stale, but all in all a good experience. Check it out now!
Awesome place, i like their different flavors of coffee. Its a cozy place to hangout. very unique style. Affordable prices and also good service as well.Easy to locate and have a good ambiance. Good price for good coffee.
Super friendly people, awesome coffee
Quaint place with great coffee. I had a drink with toasted coconut water, and a shot of espresso that was really good! It was slightly sweet but the toasted coconut and coffee came through and mixed very well.
Amazing coffee place, one of the next coffee shops in the city and staff are so nice and polite its a great place
The place is very small, most likely geared towards to go orders. They had a lot of people coming in on a Friday at noon. There is extremely limited seating, but somehow we managed to grab 4 seats at the bar. They were having some problems with the grinder as it required a dial in after every shot for some reason. Because of this our drinks were delayed quite a bit.
I had the best tasting coffee I ever had in NYC at this place. The service and the ambiance are also great. This place is not cheap but the prices are completely reasonable for the quality of their coffee. Project 1 in particular is an imaginative take on expresso, latte & cappuccino. They even serve a tasty Korean misugaru drink. I highly recommend Coffee Project NY.
Oat milk cortado $4Berry scone $5Oat milk was smooth and delicious, not bitter or sour. The woman who made my coffee apologized that it wasnt pretty, because she messed the flourish up. I think a lot of people come here for the IG photo moments with the more unusual deconstructed coffees. The scone was pretty good, more like an English scone than an American scone so extra points there.
Best coffee shop for the discerning palette. Lots of pour over options as well as the usual espresso drinks all beautifully crafted with care and love. Dare I say best coffee shop in the city?
I saw the deconstructed latte on Tumblr and knew that I wanted to experience it when I went to visit New York.It did not disappoint. I might had gone at an off time, but there was no line, and it was a quiet place in a quiet neighborhood. It was actually a nice break from the hustle-and-bustle of the rest of the City.Plus the employees are very friendly, and they made my experience better!
I was super excited to go here after reading about the deconstructed latte. We traveled over to Manhattan just to try it. We were there at 5:20pm and they said they don’t serve flights past 5:30pm. We still had 10 minutes until the don’t serve flights and 40 mins until close. Don’t waste your time with this place. Horrible and unfriendly service.
Very small and not the place you want to be hanging around for more than an hour, but the coffee is good and its a nice place to meet a friend for a brief catch-up.They have gourmet coffee that you can order and feel like a connoisseur for a short moment.
The staff is so nice here! Told them it was my first time visiting along with my sister mom and son, they were very nice and guided us threw the various selections on their menu. When you go get their special project coffee!
Cute little hole in the wall coffee place that churns out some amazing coffee and drinks. Deconstructed latte was amazing, hot chocolate was thick and creamy and nitro coffee flight was superb. Bit on expensive side but hey, if you love a fine cuppa joe, do not think twice.
I love the idea of decomposition - experience each element of an old experience turns out to be a whole new experience. Thats what the creative crew at Coffee Project is offering!Highly recommend the de-constructed latte! The bitter, strong and bold coffee shot versus the creamy, sweet and dense milk. The latte magic happens when we combine things that so far different! Its the aromy, smooth, creamy and nutty/chocolaty latte!Love the vibe--enthusiastic crew! Very small stove with ~6-8seats, come early to secure a table for your deconstructed latte.
My friend and I visited for breakfast, we had the white chocolate hot chocolates and the mini breakfast, which did not disappoint! This was my second time visiting and I will definitely be back, worth the drive through. Staff were also friendly and attentive.
These guys make the best flat white once had so far in New York. Just as good as the ones I get back in Melbourne! This is now my go-to place for coffee; search over! They also do a good Smashed Avo on toast.
Such an adorable little adventure!I arrived with a friend on a Saturday afternoon, around 1pm. There are only 3 tables & a bar by the window (plus 1 table in the back), so seating is limited. Most people got their drinks to go, but we wanted to try the famous Deconstructed latte ($7) & the Nitro coffee flight ($5).Ordering was super fast & the cashier was very friendly. We took a seat in the front of the shop (no laptops are allowed in this area) and waited only a few minutes for our order.An awesome barista brought our coffee & asked if she could explain each one. We listened as she shared her advice on how to drink the deconstructed latte: Start from left to right, beginning with the espresso, then the foamed milk, and finally, the latte itself. The seltzer is the palette cleanser to be consumed at the beginning and end.It was super tasty and fun to enjoy the coffee in this way.The nitro flight came with a standard cold brew, and another with cream and sugar. Both were good, but I thought the black cold brew was flat and watery. My friend enjoyed it, though.Both sets come with a pizzelle (Italian waffle wafer) which is a nice addition.A note about sugar: The latte flight does not include sugar & the baristas are purists, so they dont offer it to you. Instead, you can ask for some agave syrup if you need it. The nitro flight does come with a small creamer of sugar syrup, but I was told by the barista that I wont need it. I supposed that suggestion could be perceived as off-putting, but it didnt bother me.
Amazing coffee shop in Brooklyn near BAM. We had them cater an art event for us and they did an outstanding job. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff to boot. Been my go-to source for java while in the area. 5 stars.
This cafe is the passion project of two lovely Asian Americans, and the service and drinks are praiseworthy. Decor is comfortable with lighting, exposed brick, and white and lightly polished wood aesthetic. Free wifi, restrooms, outlets, decent music playlist, and nicely spaced seating makes the cafe a solid space for productivity. They are quick to clean up after customers. My only feedback is to use a plant to freshen up the air in the restroom and to stop banging the espresso portafilter so loudly while emptying (I assume thats whats so loud behind the espresso machine).
Really interesting coffee experience. You have to grab a seat if youre looking to try their flights or deconstructed coffees so keep that in mind if youre planning on stopping by. Its a little small so seating is limited, but it is well worth waiting for a seat for.
Great coffee! Limited space inside though so expect to drink it on the go.

Given the hype, I expected better coffee. I had a simple cortado and my friend had a ginger tonic. Both were just ok. The deconstructed latte is probably cool if you are on a date with a foodie who needs a couple more followers on their Instagram, but otherwise its just silly and overpriced.
For about a week, I thought I had found a really friendly neighborhood secret on a side street in the Village. It was fun. I got to know the baristas well and the menu too. And then everyone else seemed to quickly realize that coffee projects coffee just tastes really good. I could say more about the ingenuity of the menu and the perfect decor, but none of it matters as much as the COFFEE. Stumptown, my previous favorite, has a lot of drinks that sound cool (e.g., Nitrogen) but just dont taste awesome. Here, they do.
Cozy chill space with a great ginger coffee drink, an interesting multigrain smoothie that tastes like the best bowl of milk & cheerios, and a couple of very good nitro brews, and some very chocolatey hot cocoa. The folks that run it are also super friendly and knowledgeable of their offerings
Great coffee shop with a high quality coffee and beans. Nice selection of pour overs. You cannot order deconstructed latte with other milk but whole which is very dissapointing.
I know its going to sound a bit pretentious, but I really did love this place and their Nitro Cold Brew flight. Their NCB was so light and frothy, you dont need anything else added in. No sugar, no milk. The flight consisted of a NCB and an NCB with just a splash of milk. The latter didnt taste as good. I personally think the milk is extraneous and doesnt add to the flavor or the texture of the classic Nitro Cold Brew. Call me a purist. The only negative about this shop was the limited seating. If youre going to order a flight, you want to sit down and enjoy it. With the limited seating there, only about 10 people can sit down at a time. We luckily came early enough in the morning to nab a table, but thats the only downside.
I loved the place, is cozy and the coffee I will give it 5 ⭐️ really tasty coffee...Good pantry too, the only reason for the 4 star ⭐️ was coz they don’t have bathroom...overall it was good...
Nice new coffee shop, especially for people for whom la Colombe is too large or noisy. Their regular coffee is quite good, though next time Im there Ill probably try the nitro, a sort of Guinness coffee...
Cute coffee shop & unique coffee experienced!Im curious about this place & I love coffee so me & my bf went to try it. I ordered the coffee project 1 deconstructed latte espresso, milk & latte. Each of this coffee have different taste. Its refreshing! Very instagram or snapchat worthy! Haha. Ill go back & bring my gf next time. For sure theyll love it!
Ok coffee. Deconstructed latte was a little silly though.
Drinks:- Project 1 - A deconstructed latte - very nicely presented. 3 glasses with a small shot of Espresso, shot of milk and a goblet of latte with a cookie and seltzer to cleanse palate. Good balance of flavors and fun to drink/eat.- Coffee float - Very nice and sweet; Served in a mason-like jar- Latte and cappuccino are good- Nitro is very nice, smooth and tastes almost like chocolate- Chocolate banana walnut bread slice - Moist and they offer to heat it up if youre staying- ham and cheese croissant is good and toasted upon orderingAmbiance:Old timey music 70sFriendly staffChill atmosphereSeating for maybe 15-20 in the shop - front is for non-laptop seating
Quirky place, like no laptops on weekends. Indulge in innovations like a nitro flight. Not bad.
Their coffee reminds me of the stuff Id drink back home in Sydney.Quality stuff.All the staff are ultra-friendly (and not wannabe hipster jokes who give terrible service and want a tip). Tipping never felt more deserved.I only wish I lived closer.
Cozy little nook offering delicious coffee. Youve heard about the deconstructed latte... the secret that helps them pull it off: solid espressi worth showing off independently.Size naturally keeps volume down, but for those needing to put in the study hours: come early to get one of the seats out back.
Very nice staffs and the coffee is just phenomenal. The best nitro youll ever have. For some of the orders, the staffs will explain how to drink them. Great experience!
Small location is the only downside, but I enjoy their black coffee.
Ive now visited Coffee Project NY over 10 times and its by far the most delicious and consistently enjoyable espresso ive had in EV!Cafe has a great vibe and the staff are warm and friendly.
Nitro Flight ($7):Also served on a wooden board, you have two small glasses of their nitro coffee, that wafer biscuit and a tiny pitcher of a cane sugar syrup.This was my first experience with nitro coffee (coffee infused with nitrogen), and I loved it. It goes down a lot smoother than regular coffee. Here, they serve small glass of black nitro coffee and one with a bit more dairy added to it. The one with dairy had hints of cinnamon and chocolate. As I said before, Im not a huge coffee person. The black coffee, in my opinion, didnt need the daily to be good.
Very friendly staff who made is feel welcome the second we stepped inside. The coffee was really good too and the staff kindly asked which kind of espresso we wanted. Would definitely recommend.
I really like the environment because it allows me to relax. Ive had this favorite coffee shop since Im a coffee lover and they sell great coffee at an affordable price.
The drinks at Coffee Project were delightful as was the service! The nitro cold brew flight was excellent as was the deconstructed latte. Definitely lived up to expectations and cant wait to go again!
I came for the deconstructed latte but stayed for the ambiance, staff, and excellent coffee.Known as Project One, the deconstructed latte ($7) is exactly what you think it is - a latte that is broken down into a three-glass flight. The progression goes from espresso to milk (from a local creamery, pasteurized at a lower temperature to resemble the flavor of raw milk while still being perfectly safe to drink) to a beautiful, fully assembled latte. A glass of sparkling water and a wafer accompany these glasses on a wooden tray that is brought to your table by the barista, who explains the flight in detail. The reason for this deconstructed project is to take the time to sip the individual elements of a latte and recognize the flavor layers.Located in the East Village, Coffee Project New York is the project of Chi Sum Ngai and Kaleena Teoh. Ngai actually trained in Portland before moving to NYC. This coffeeshop serves up everything from espresso, drip, pour-overs, to nitrogen cold brews and even coffee alternatives like hot chocolate and even misugaru (a Korean roasted grain drink). If you dont want a deconstructed latte but like the idea of a flight, they have a nitro flight that is dine-in only. Hungry? They have scones, croissants, Kouign Amann, muffins, and brownies.Aesthetically, its warm and inviting with earthy tones and exposed brick. The atmosphere is calm and evokes a sense of community. The baristas are all extremely knowledgeable in the art of coffee-making, and they are so friendly. I am excited to come back and see what new projects are up their sleeves!
Incredible experience and date spot. Cute coffee shop with great sampling sets too. Try the deconstructed latte and nitro flight. Pricey but well presented and lovely surprising touches.
Great baristas and phenomenal espresso. Great signature drinks for coffee enthusiasts and anyone looking for something different. High quality coffee is their first priority and it shows!
A casual bean laboratory of pour over scientists. Its not an everyday price, but when you do journey to a specialized producer in a cup, pairing it with a buttery ham and cheese it will give you that overdue Moment of Zen.
Incredible experience and date spot. Cute coffee shop with great sampling sets too. Try the deconstructed latte and nitro flight. Pricey but well presented and lovely surprising touches.
I loved the nitro cold brew coffee! (Its made from a single origin ORGANIC coffee from Mexico. It has the very lightest notes of chocolate and cinnamon. The nitro infusion gives it a smooth creaminess that simply has to be tried.)Knowledgeable staff.Fast, free Wi-Fi.
I have been coffecrawling in New tork for a couple of days now and this is my favorite so far. Cosy place with very nice baristas! I had a long coversation about coffe and their deconstructed latte concept. A must for someone who loves top notch coffe!
Oh my so wonderful. Small and local shop with owner making the drinks right there. Friendly and amazing! So many seasonal options, come again and again! The deconstructed Latte is a moment in itself!
Creative menu, great staff, free wifi, nice to stay for a couple of hours. No restroom
Cute little coffee shop with vegan pastry options. Would definitely come back! Thank you!
This is a place with unique coffee drinking experience. They deconstruct coffee with a glass of espresso, low pasteurised milk and a latte. Presentation was clean and simple. And a sweet honey biscuit and sparkling water.
This place had great Mexican tacos! The pork tacos are definitely my favorite. The place is packed so it is very loud but the wait is well worth it. Would definitely recommend!
The coffee is very nice and the environment is great. Very spacious interior, hanging on the walls with local artwork.
Completely mediocre espresso. Definitely not worth the 20-30 minute wait time.
For my fellow foodstagram or coffee obsessed friends - this place will make you sooOoOooO happy because of its cozy interior, warm bubbly staff, delicious coffee+milk, and picturesque aestheticsure, maybe this deconstructed latte is a gimmick for us basic ppl - doesnt mean Im not gonna enjoy every second of taking pictures of it at every angle and drinking it baby sip by sip ;) my friend ordered a simple drip coffee and enjoyed it too! their milk really makes a difference!
Nice coffee and breakfasts, a basic menu that I think is suitable for a quick lunch, wifi is better than other locations, just the right amount of staff friendly.
As a true and traveling coffee fiend I’ve had it all. Walking into a shop you know immediately the caliber of the experience you’re about to have. Coffee Project knows their coffee, don’t hesitate- show up. They are the real deal.

Fun place to try coffee. Very pricy
Great place to grab a cup of coffee to go, even better to stay and hang out. Great atmosphere, wonderful place to get work done.
Awesome place, i like their different flavors of coffee. Its a cozy place to hangout. very unique style. Affordable prices and also good service as well.Easy to locate and have a good ambiance. Good price for good coffee.
Excellent crema and flavor. Definitely will be back.
Try the deconstructed latte & happy smile? or the happy place? Both creative, would like to try something regular next time, feel the real coffee flavour.
Whoever was working their phone line on today’s date @ 2:10p should deserve an award. I think they said Zeke on the phone but their patience and willingness to help me reprint a receipt was overly accommodating and quick. Very helpful.
Great small cafe
This lovely little shop has delicious food and amazing coffee. So good that my boyfriend and I both had multiple drinks before departing.
Cute little coffee place. Really good coffee. There were about 10 seats. They have loyalty cards. It was very warm today.
Friendliest staff, amazing coffee
Cute little coffee shop with vegan pastry options. Would definitely come back!
Great place to give a good time to your soul . I always enjoy their coffee and service. Recommended.
Love this intimate coffee shop! One of the first shops in NYC to carry nitro coffee. This is before Starbucks had theirs, so you could say it is OG!
The place is cozy. The coffee is excellent. The staff are nice and friendly. The price is reasonable. It is a must-go coffee shop.
Customer service didnt suffer at all. Very polite, friendly, and efficient workers here. The taste of the coffee was fresh and unique.
*(Hits blunt)Best coffee spot in the area. Get their cold brew! Won’t disappoint.
Cozy spot in the east village with great coffee + eats.
Simply the best coffee shop I’ve ever been to. Amazing coffee, creative ways to serve, best nitro on the planet...by far.
Good tasting cappuccinos, but small for the money.
I walked from the Brooklyn Bridge to here and it was totally worth the walk! The staff was very friendly and let me try couple of brews before I settled on the latte. The brews are great and their baked goods are quite yummy!
New, clean, and plenty of cool equipment for coffee. Lots of working seats and an average level of noise.

2022-02-15Part of a larger coffee network, the Coffee Project East Village is a small coffee shop in...well...the East Village. On a Sunday morning, my wife and I stopped in for quality coffee. We were met with that and excellent service.The space is small, but they make good use of a few tables inside and a little bar with coffee condiments.The staff are helpful and make your drink within minutes behind the bar. If you stay inside, they bring you your drink.My wife loved their decaf latte and my campfire latte was fun with a marshmallow and graham crackers in it!

2021-12-27Nice small coffee shop with ~8 seats inside and some outside seatings. The shop staffs are super nice and enthusiastically explain the menu to me. The latte (pictured) is very nice and smooth. The not pumpkin spiced latte (second picture) is also quite smooth and tasty, with hint of spice and chocolate but not overly sweet.
Review №3
2022-05-20Great coffee and service! Outside seating is cozy. The deconstructed latte is an interesting experience and certainly great for coffee lovers. You start with a sip of the espresso, then a sip of the foamed milk, a sip of the sparking water and take a bite of the crispy cookie, lastly take a sip of the latte.

2022-06-09Best espresso in the area! Love their deconstructed latte so much, too bad they don’t have it in any other branch. Nitro flight is also good, as good as their Chai Latte.Croissant and other pastries were nice and warm too. Perfect breakfast for us. They provide water to clean your palate, FYI. My fav coffee shop in New York City 🤍

2022-02-11Coffee tastes excellent. Very strong with pronounced flavors. Staff is nice and they dont up charge for almond milk. Large coffee was only $3.50 too which is a good price-point.

2022-05-20I would say that it is the best drip coffee I had in NY!The coffee shop is small and kind of hard to find, but Someone recommended it to me.I also got a cake (Lamington) and it was so good!

2021-11-11Like most everyone in the reviews section, I tried their signature Deconstructed Latte: espresso shot, steamed milk, warm latte, sparkling water.It is recommended that you will taste your latte better if you drink from left to right and ending on the actual latte. The sparkling water is used as a palette cleanser and the cracker is something to munch on at the end. My palette isnt refined enough to taste all the things but overall, it was extremely good!

2022-04-29Amazing coffee shop that I visit whenever Im in town. The deconstructed latte is so unique and really gives you a feel of the flavours and textures. Friendly staff who walk you through the menu if needed.
Review №9
2022-05-26Light, tropical carrot cake was the tables favorite. The sorbets had big refreshing flavors. The chocolate cake was dense and could have use more of the mousse. It was wonderful to people watch and enjoy the sun and shade.A great afternoon spot to enjoy good food and great company. We ordered a few items off their dessert menu and were happy with the variety of sweet treats. A light, tropical carrot cake was the tables favorite. The sorbets had big refreshing flavors.
