Blue Bottle Coffee

Rude baristas
Incredibly over priced for mediocre coffee, which is can be found across NYC. However, the baristas are bothered by questions about their product — such as do you have tea or what kind. Didn’t see a kindness in them at all
save your money — go anywhere else

Definitely not on my radar in the out of the way corner of the west side. Although not a giant fan of blue bottle’s other locations, this one never disappoints. A nice selection of coffee as well.

ordered an almond milk latte. 6 dollars? wow most iv ever spent on a coffee in my life.
and not really living up to the buzz anymore. it feels more mass produced than ever before, which is sort of the cruel reality of blowing up in the city despite your one drip at a time philosophy. i think phils coffee on the best coast does a better job of balancing success with their core values.

Not quite a 4 but I’ll round up to it, the coffee was actually pretty good, not the best I’ve ever had but one of the better places in NYC. The girl behind the counter could loose her attitude though, perhaps try smiling and being friendly. But then again being a coffee snob hipster seems to be the trendy thing to do these days. It also takes a while to make a coffee would have hated to be there on a busy day. Plenty of places to sit though and had a chill vibe. We had been visiting the bike shop next door and just dropped in here, was cool that it was just a glass wall between this shop and the bike shop.

I mean, it’s great coffee for us coffee snobs.

Hands down best espresso and macchiato I’ve enjoyed in NYC. I used to run an espresso bar so I know the difference between good and great quality. Blue Bottle is the best.

Usually franchise stores have quality problem, I haven’t seen it on Blue Bottle yet. Have been to 4 or 5 locations in NYC, all satisfied. Hot or iced.

Cute little coffee shop… Excellent customer service and super strong coffee. I had the iced New Orleans coffee– has a little bit of an after taste but it’s great. There’s a photo booth inside also.

I would choose blue bottle any day over Starbucks. The flavoring is strong and the artistic touch with the latte art is great. I love its location within Gotham West. The price is a bit steep but if you are looking for quality coffee, this place will not disappoint.

This place is a wonderful addittion to Gotham West. I highly reccomend the steel cut oats with jam. This is definitely my favorite Blue Bottle location in the city.

This little coffee shop has probably been my favorite stop at Gotham West (and the most reasonably priced). A nice sized nook at the north end of the market, with a straight forward coffee menu and a few baked goods to boot.
After an okay experience with the latte, decided on the New Orleans Cold Brew ($ 4). Not sure what they put in there but it’s truly fantastic. Had to add just a tiny bit of sweet syrup to make it a refreshing summer drink. My friend who’s not a coffee person also swears by the tea, so there’s that as well.
Great place to sip a coffee and watch TV on the projector at the market or play one of the board games sitting out.

They don’t make coffee the way you ask, and then the quality is subpar. I don’t understand the hype.
I asked for a dry cappuccino and they informed me they couldn’t do that because they make «microfoam» or some BS.

Always the best coffee and consistent across coasts. This particular location is smaller than the others, but they do a wonderful job. The staff here is friendly and efficient. There is normally not a line based on the three times I visited this location.

The New Orleans Cold Brew caught me by surprise– it was really freakin good. But because of the same reason or because of the size of the drink, it was gone within 2 minutes.
I also got a Cinnamon Molasses Cookie which was soft and chewy– loved it! Together with NOCB, they made the perfect combination.

Blue Bottle Coffee does takes their coffee seriously.
$ 3 for an espresso definitely a little pricey but $ 3.75 for cappuccino is not bad.
I tried the pour over and a cappuccino both really nicely done. Love the latte art!
On a hot day, I would definitely would love to drink their cold brew.
Located inside Gotham Market West with plenty of seating!

Trendy hipster coffee shop in Gotham Market with great brews. Sure the staff is a bit nonchalant about service, but the time they take to pour a tasty beverage is worth it. Try to get a table inside and enjoy a cup without taking it to go as the oversized cups are cool. The coffee and espresso is sourced from great roasters so you’ll get a cup worth the slightly high price. The market is a perfect place to sit and enjoy a warm cup.

Blue Bottle is a very polarizing coffee shop, but I can never turn down their New Orleans cold brew. They sell them in cartons and «on tap».
The last time I had the NOCB, it was too sweet, but the Gotham West Market location made it perfectly.

I felt a little intimidated trying out Blue Bottle Coffee for the first time. I had heard good things, and the stand wasn’t so crowded, so I thought I would take a chance. There were two women behind the counter who looked friendly enough, so why not?
I asked the employee if «drip coffee» was just a regular coffee. She was snide and nodded curtly before chuckling. Embarrassed, I ordered one, paid my $ 5 quickly, and waited. Five minutes later, I got my too-​hot-​to-​touch coffee. The second employee turned her back as I struggled to pick my cup up from the counter.
At the fixing counter, there was only sugar cane sugar. No milk or cream. I wasn’t sure if they were out of milk, or if that’s just how they believe coffee should be. I didn’t dare ask again for fear of getting laughed at. I dumped a bunch of sugar into my coffee & left quickly. I could tell that it was strong coffee, and high quality. It actually had a really nice flavor, and I drank it quickly, despite the lack of milk & sweetener. I wouldn’t mind having Blue Bottle coffee again, but I’d think long & hard about having it here.

I think there’s a lot of hype surrounding this brand. I’d come with high hopes based on things I’d heard from my friends and read online. Perhaps we should have ordered the regular coffee, but we ordered their special coffee, which needs to be filtered through a particular glass device for upwards of 15 minutes. I thought the coffee was very acidic and because of the filtering, it was served at a lukewarm temperature. I definitely could’ve gotten better at a lot of other places.
Also worth noting that if you ordered an iced beverage, as my friend did, there may be a disproportionally large quantity of ice cubes. My friend asked for a lid for the plastic cup she received, and was actually told that they had no lids. Just a minor inconvenience, should you get your coffee to go.

I visit Blue Bottle Coffee when I want a taste of the Bay — San Francisco[1], that is.
Their Gotham West Market location sports lots of seating, and free Wi-​Fi for Internet-​aholics like me. Efficient service every time I’ve been here.
You’re here for their drip coffee, of course. It’s tasty, and kicks like a mule ($ 5-​ish; credit accepted) — that’s why we drink coffee, right? I’ve tried straying from the drip, to my chagrin: your mileage may vary, but I find their cappuccinos to taste a lil’ funky[2].
[1] Like Bay area spots, they’re amongst a growing number of New York businesses that have a compost bin — way to be green, guys!
[2] Wish they had loyalty cards — even if my order tastes gross, at least I’d be a punch closer to a free drink, right?
