Cute people, good coffee, free wifi, has enough power outlets
I was a regular client the 1 month I lived in the neighborhood. Good coffee, good service and an amazing spot for get some work done. Digital nomading? Come here! Try the banana bread as well.
Employees does not want to share the password to the Wi-Fi. I mean what is the point of “free wifi” if does not work. I went to study and bought a croissant and coffee/ croissant was too sweet and coffee was not memorable. The only good thing is the back seating but what’s the point if there’s no wifi. Music played there was very distracting, not going back there again. And the women calling out the orders- very rude with tone. Very informal .
Amazing playlist, probably even better coffee. And somehow all for a reasonable price. I paid $3.50 for a Costa Rican light roast drip. They also have a wifi.
Great place to work from if you can get a table. Good coffee
Good coffee, cozy area to study/work.
Entrance is on 36th and NOT on 7th Ave
great coffee shop to work at! wifi works well, good amount of comfortable seating, not super crowded, coffee tastes good, music but didn't really bother me
I had a Zoom meeting scheduled and saw that this place has wifi. Very satisfied with what they offer, I was getting about 85-90 mbps. Definitely a good place to come get some work done on your laptop!
As for the menu, their drink options stand out. I ordered a mocha for ($5 for a small), and it was great! It was a very rich cup of mocha while also having very pronounced espresso. One of the best mochas I've had in a while.
However, the spinach turnover I got left a bit to be desired (just over 6 bucks). The cheese and spinach were pretty sparse. But I'll give my benefit of the doubt since it was the last one remaining and may have been out for a while.
I'll definitely be dropping by again if I need to get some work done remotely! Ground Central is a solid choice if you need internet and a quick coffee fix. I'd hope the food is better than what I had for that particular day, but their drinks alone make it worth visiting.
I just had a coffee so can't comment on food though it looked tasty. Chill vibes and positive energy. Great place to catch up with a friend or two or do some work.
One of my favorite coffee shops in midtown. Nice coffee, good wifi. No public bathroom tho.
Rosemary honey biscuit is divine. Oat milk chai was pretty good too. Love the aesthetic of the silver pen on orders and the beautiful art on the walls. This location has less seating than some, but still one larger table and a couch. wifi was ok, not the best ever. They have good yogurt available. Pretty loud, but the music is good.
My favorite place to get a good latte. Love the music and the people that work here
A good coffee shop for working in. wifi download speed is 48 Mbps and they have power outlets.
Nice and cozy place to have a cup of coffee. They even have free wifi and are located close to the train station.
Cool little coffee shop with nice music and coffee. Has electrical outlets so you can come to get some work done.
Stopped in while visiting the city for work. Solid cold brew and a chill atmosphere. I’ll be back
Nice coffee. Got wifi and outlet. A/C is super strong and music is loud though.
