I've been to a few other 787 Coffee locations further downtown, but this one is my favorite so far for several reasons. It's a bit more chill and less cramped than some of the other locations, with three cafe tables, a big wooden table with chairs, a counter facing the street with stools-, and a couple of outdoor cafe tables--all of which are great for sitting down with a laptop. I have to work from coffee shops or I get distracted, but not all coffee shops are conducive to getting work done. This one has free WiFi and water, electrical outlets, a clean and private bathroom, and zero attitude. As a result, I got lots of work done here. I ordered the Tres Leches Latte, which is my favorite cake and now it's my favorite kind of ice coffee. The barista, Guillermo, was super affable, quick, and fun to talk with. A lot of customers must be repeat customers since he greeted them by name and they him, so that gives you an idea of the neighborhood/friendly vibe of this place, and that people are clearly fans enough to keep coming back. It was such a positive experience, that I came back the next day, even though it's more than 30 blocks from my apartment. Glad to have found this place and will continue to go out of...
ย ย ย Read moreThis was my first time visiting the 787 Coffee shop. I got 1 Matcha coquito with oatmilk, 1 quesito, 1 banana walnut, and 1 chocolate chip cookie. I liked the Matcha coquito, I could taste the coquito flavor in the drink and the matcha flavor as well once I mixed in together. Personally, I would have preferred a stronger matcha flavor but still it was good. The quesito was flaky, and salty yet slightly sweet at the same time which I loved (definitely a favorite.) One of the workers joked that it was as if a croissant and a cheese danish had a baby which I thought was such an excellent description. The banana walnut loaf was excellent, chunky, tons of nuts, and not too sweet which I usually look for in loaves. The cookie was chunky and sweet (a bit too sweet for my taste) but good nonetheless. Overall, I liked the vibe of the coffee shop, coworkers were attentive and positive, along side of aesthetic the environment, it was filled with green plants and with pops yellow. However, the volume of the music was a little bit too high and there was someone talking on the phone very loudly. Enough said, Iโd recommend checking it out for...
ย ย ย Read moreI was trying to get some work done during a weekday afternoon. Found this very interesting coffee joint at NYC. I was immediately greeted by Erica. Given it was my first time here, she took time and very nicely explained the different selections. Based on one of Erica's recommendation, I went for one of the most unique coffee experience I've had. It was an iced latte based on rum-infused beans with tres leche flavor. It was brewed by Guillermo who did a FANTASTIC job. Although I had this while sitting, the coffee came in a high-quality pouch, that one can also take on-the-go without worrying about it getting spilled. At some point when the counter was calm, Guillermo also served water to everyone in the cafe. This was very nice of him to do, especially when it was all super hot outside. This location additionally had WiFi service and a restroom for its customers. 787 Coffee @ Lexington NYC and the fantastic team here have my HIGHEST...
