St Kilda Coffee — Restaurant in New York

Cozy little café located at Chelsea. The Aussie name makes me nostalgic as it recalls my childhood memories at St Kilda Beach in Melbourne.

One of the best places in town to have single origin artisan coffee at affordable price. They sell an excellent selection of supreme quality coffee beans, like Sey Coffee, Little Wolf and Traffic. Note that their storefront is low key so you might oversee it. The store is decently decorated with plants and climbers.

＊ Cappuccino w/ Oat Milk I was thrilled that the barista added a dash of cocoa powder on the cappuccino! It is rare in NYC yet a common thing in Australia and some European countries. The espresso base was fruity and bright. I prefer darker roast beans pairing with my milk coffee, so I will certainly order pour over to taste the light roast beans of its fullest next time.

＊ Hot Mocha The hot mocha was amazing. A bit sweet for my liking, but my mom found it very satisfactory. If you dislike the bitterness of coffee but crave for some caffeine, go for...

A hidden gem in Manhattan — St Kilda is simply exceptional.

Tucked away on West 46th Street, this tiny café blew me away. Despite its small size, the space is incredibly warm, stylish, and thoughtfully designed — every detail feels intentional, from the clean aesthetic to the sleek, modern logo that stands out in the best way.

The coffee? Outstanding. I had both an espresso and a filter — each one prepared with precision and care. You can tell the team here deeply respects their craft.

And the baristas — genuinely some of the nicest I’ve met. They were not only professional, but radiated such positive energy that it left me smiling for the rest of the day.

I can’t even fully explain how much I love this place. It’s rare to come across a spot that hits the mark on everything — quality, vibe, hospitality, and heart.

Wishing the St Kilda team nothing but the best. You’ve created something truly special here. Highly, highly...

Honestly..St Kilda kinda saves the Manhattan coffee scene rn..

After 2 weeks of trying every shop we could reasonably get to - amazingly St Kilda had the best Espresso shot and Filtered Coffee in all of Brooklyn or Manhattan.

Idk if the heat and humidity have messed with shops dialing in their espresso - but this was miles better than any other stop.

They are also one of the few shops in the area with flights of coffee.

Atmosphere: Small, fun shop, 5-6 comfortable tables for 2 people each.

Barista's we're humble, knowledgeable and incredibly friendly!

St Kilda saves the oversaturated coffee scene in NYC. There's a lot of other shops that prioritize ambiance and high-prices over the...
