ansā Micro Coffee Roastery — Restaurant in New York

Hey, if you love shiny new things or if you're looking for content for your next social media post, then this is 100% the place for you. Buuut, if you're a connoisseur of coffee, someone who appreciates the subtle complex differing notes of espresso and pour-over, this then is most certainly not the place. I have visited over 200 espresso bars and roasters this year and this is the worst coffee I have tasted yet! Sour, high acidic and under-extracted: terrible! This is NYC! We have exceptional coffee in every neighborhood! Just go to Abraco or La Cabra or Embriago- the list goes on... To give this place a fair shot, I also tried their espresso ice cream but once again, because the espresso is awful, the entire product is ruined. Then again, any place serving ice cream isn't a serious coffeehouse. I have included a photo of the beautiful ice cream- here I learnt that all that glitters is not gold and headed straight over to Gentile Gelateria where I enjoyed a true...

Such a hidden gem in the Village! I randomly walked into Ansa Café and ended up staying way longer than planned. The smell of freshly roasted coffee hits you the second you walk in — they actually roast the beans right there in front of you. It’s wild to see and even better to taste.

My cappuccino was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced — you can tell the beans are roasted fresh, not sitting around for weeks. The staff is super friendly and clearly passionate about what they do, and they’re happy to explain how their roasting system works (which is really cool and eco-friendly).

One of the best coffee spots I’ve found in NYC. Ansa Café is not your typical coffee shop they actually roast the beans right in front of you using their own micro-roaster, and you can taste the difference. The coffee is incredibly fresh, smooth, and flavorful.

The vibe is modern, clean, and chill. You can sit by the window, watch the roasting process, and enjoy the aroma. The baristas are super friendly and really know their stuff they explained the whole concept of how they roast small batches on demand.

Prices are fair for the quality, and it’s clear they care about sustainability and doing things differently. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re anywhere near SoHo ....
