Atelier Jolie — Local services in New York

A Hidden Arty Gem in the Heart of NYC

Atelier Jolie in Downtown Manhattan is an absolute must-see. Created by the incredibly talented and iconic Angelina Jolie, this space is more than just a boutique, it's a true artistic sanctuary in the middle of the city.

Step into the boutique and you'll find a surreal and strikingly original clothing line. The textures, patterns, and fabrics are unlike anything else, each piece feels like wearable art. It's fashion reimagined, bold and full of soul.

But the magic doesn’t stop there. A discreet hallway leads you into a hidden café space that feels like an industrial-artsy living room, beautifully illuminated by a stunning skylight that bathes the room in natural light. Surrounded by inspiring art books from legends like Basquiat, Degas, Giorgione, and Dustin Yellin (and a few surprises I won’t spoil), you'll want to stay for hours.

Their daily selection of homemade cakes is delightful, and the drinks, whether you’re into lattes, classic coffee, or a soothing matcha, are spot-on.

A rare, inspiring spot where fashion, art, and good coffee blend seamlessly. Highly...

Right in the heart of NoHo, 57 Great Jones Street shows artistic legacy. Once Andy Warhol's house, where renowned painter Jean-Michel Basquiat lived and worked, this spot has since become a hub of creative energy. By establishing their first physical manifestation in Basquiat's former studio, Atelier Jolie pays homage to the artist's enduring influence while carving out a space for new forms of expression. The building's front panels, graffitied by local artists and Basquiat fans, are a true must see! Inside, there's a whole room with graffiti waiting to be looked at. Inside Atelier Jolie, visitors are greeted by a café run by Eat Offbeat, a restaurant and catering collective spotlighting the talents of NYC's refugee communities. Absolutely try everything pistachio! Too, it's about bringing up your creativity. Guests can take a seat at the craft table to paint or play the piano. To sum it up, it's a cool spot where you can sit cozy with your laptop, have a coffee, and soak in the latest fashion trends in a creative...

As a fan of Basquiat, my visit to Atelier Jolie left much to be desired. Full disclosure- I went into this space with an open mind and I was excited to hear that this building had been reclaimed, even though many had mixed feelings about it. Ultimately, I felt that it was noticeably understaffed, resulting in both poor service and a lack of cleanliness that did not show proper respect for the late artist. Although marketed as an upscale boutique and cafe with an eye catching presentation, it is obvious it is still in it’s early stages. I was disappointed to see that it was neither as upscale as marketed, nor a humble community-focused asset. It falls into a bland grey area. I believe they can succeed at providing a memorable visitor experience if they move forward with more intentionality. I do not feel a need to visit again. But I wish them the best and thank the limited staff that was present for...
