Little Canal — Restaurant in New York

Love the vibes of this corner coffee shop in Chinatown. The environment is very chill (they play groovy funk music in the background) and while the line can be a bit long, the service is very quick and moves fast.

I also love the cafe provides the option to use a reusable mug if you plan to drink your beverage inside. It's not clear where to place the used dish ware afterwards since there was no sign/no one had notified me (i.e. do I leave on the countertop, give it to someone, etc.). Plus, I found it hard to ask since the everyone was busy making orders. After a while, I managed to get a barista's attention and told me to put it in the bin by the food preparation window, but would be nice if they let me know the procedure once I got my beverage.

One thing to note is they do not allow use of laptops and tablets here, so not the best place to do...

So happy to have stumbled onto this gem! We were looking for a coffee shop and found this within walking distance. Turns out they stop serving coffee at a certain time (around 4 I believe) and turn into a bar. While disappointed, the bartender's pleasant and helpful attitude about the situation, as well as the warm vibe and great music encouraged us to stay and order drinks instead (didn't get food). The Blood Orange Mezcal Margarita and the Rose were both excellent. My girlfriend and I just sat and chatted while sipping, taking pictures, and enjoying the music. They have a nice bathroom as well. Coming here will definitely boost your mood. Would...

Hip coffee shop with great coffee (dark roast) and solid brunch (great roasted potatoes!). Little Canal boasts a casual European x Bohemian vibe and benefits from natural lighting on all sides. It’s open, airy, and enjoyable, especially when the weather is nice. The baristas are chic, cool, and professional. The drip coffee is a medium/dark roast that’s very drinkable, and best served to drink there. Seating can be tight, so get there early! Additional perks: water pitcher on the side. 10/10 giant Monstera in the corner that grows to the ceiling! Great spot for a chat, a hangout, or a read. Coffee score: 4/5. Everything else score: 5/5.
