About Ninth Street Espresso
Ninth Street Espresso is a New York coffee original that helped define the city’s early specialty-coffee wave in the early 2000s. It is known for contemporary espresso craft, a deliberately simple menu, and a service style that avoids the usual coffee-snob posture. The company also roasts its own coffee and, according to reporting on its roasting operation, moved that production into a new micro-roastery in Long Island City in 2023. Its reputation comes less from branding than from being an influential, long-running fixture in downtown New York coffee culture.[3][4][6]

★★★★★“A cute little spot settled across from a garden. The area is full of trees and is super relaxing. I got the cappuccino which was great. Bring your book and relax out front. My favorite part about this spot is everything chats with each other. It feels like a place where neighbors convene. A true gem!”

★★★★★“I come here all the time. The vibe is good, the coffee and tea are good quality, and the staff is always really kind. I do wish there were more food options but I am very content with what they do offer. It’s always a pleasure to sit down with a drink and pastry and try to get some work done”

★★★★★“Great coffee and a wonderful atmosphere. The latte was perfectly balanced—rich and strong, not just milk with a hint of coffee. You can really taste the quality and care in every cup. A great spot to relax, catch up with friends or concentrate. Highly recommended! ☕️”
