Ground Support

Great coffee shop in soho! Their coffee is excellent and the staff is nice. Its always full so there were not any seats available. Other than that my experience was great

Coffee is top notch. Grab a seat and a cookie, too! Sandwiches are good as well. Ginger cookies take my vote. Chewy!

I’ve been here a few times and I love making a stop here when I’m shopping in soho. I typically order the almond milk latte, a great drink when you want something creamy (but not overly creamy). They are quite busy at times but they have communal tables, tree stumps, and benches you can sit on. While I see a lot of people doing their work here (free wifi!), they do get a bit crowded and it can be hard to find a seat. I like ground support as a to-​go place when I’m on the go but not so much as a place to rewind and relax.
P. S. They have pastries and cookies situated right in front of you when you enter. To the left of you is a chalkboard with sandwiches & salads they have available for the day.

4 stars because of the awesome décor but pricey coffee. Service was pretty quick and straight forward.
I got the almond milk latte which was roughly $ 5. I usually get a simple black coffee but since this shop lengthy walk from soho, I figured I’d treat myself. Its quite pricey but sometimes its just what the heart desires.
I picked this shop to meet a friend because I saw there was a good amount of seating. When you walk in, you’ll notice the lights kinda forcus/​center your vision towards the two tables in the middle. There are several benches and even seating by the wall and in the back. Definitely ample seating room regardless of the time of day. you’ll notice when you find a seat; its got just the right amount of buffer between each seat which gives you a warm lively coffee shop feel yet it doesn’t feel crowded. This is also a great spot to come alone because they have this park bench facing the front window looking outside. Its geniusly positioned so you won’t ever awkwardly right into another coffee drinker’s eyes.
Next time around, I’ll be trying the pastries as they did look delicious from afar. I would recommend coming here.

Coffee supports awareness. Ground Support is my go to Soho caffeine stop. I have a habit of settling in with a good book and a strong cappuccino /​latte to do some people watching. The types of people and fashion trends that pass through this café will make you feel there are multiple universes. There are four community tables as well as benches lining the walls. The coffee shop is laptop friendly and Wi-​Fi is free.

Decided to stop in here randomly for a coffee break and so glad I did! I ordered their almond latte and had the «veg» sandwich. The almond latte was nice and smooth and a good temperature when it came out. The «veg» sandwich was the true standout for me though — fresh, healthy, loved the crunch of the cauliflower and the flavor of the radish. Ample seating; wasn’t too difficult finding a spot during weekday lunch hour. Also offer WiFi!

Way too cool for me, and the service is a little slow, but they have almond milk! And delicious delicious Chai. So I just suck it up, and stand in line, while trying to look like I don’t care I’m not one of the cool kids.

Cool coffee shop. Can get a bit packed with no place to sit. The coffee was intelligentsia.

I was looking for a place to grab a bagel before getting to the office and I decided to come here since the reviews seemed good.
I got myself a bagel with the works it as delicious! When people say the bagels are better in New York they aren’t kidding!
I would like to come back and try a latte next time (they do amazing latte art) — who doesn’t like a cute picture on top of their latte?

Beautiful clientele, really good drip coffee, good amount of space to sit/​work, free WiFi, free water, 1 bathroom. On W Broadway — location is really nice. Think that covers the basics.
Prices are in line with every coffee place in NYC — can’t see why people are mentioning this when there many cafes with the same drinks for $ 0.50 or $.75 more. Come here to grab lunch, meet a friend for coffee, grab a break on your walk around Soho, and do some laptop work.

It’s starting to feel like an office to me. A very nice place for meetings. Nice people running the café and they have a great decaf americano with almond milk.
The communal tables are very inviting and they have a luminous space in the back. It gets crowded so be prepared to wait for a seat.

Stopped on a nice sunny day. Thought they would have a great ice lemonade since they had it on their menu.
The lemonade was GREAT! Why the one star? Because it was $ 4.00 for a tiny cup. ALSO it wasn’t even homemade. They literally took out a liter of store bought lemonade and poured into a cup of ice. How are you going to sell me that for $ 4.00 when I can get a gallon for less than that. Service wasn’t friendly and I will not waste my money here. No authenticity.
Plus there were a ton of flys. So disappointing.

For some reason, I thought that I needed to do schoolwork during my spring break in NYC. This was false, and I should never of been allowed to. But, considering I wake up 5 hours before Gster, I needed to occupy my time with something. I wanted to find a café to do my work in, but come on, it was NYC… I couldn’t just go to the Starbucks down the street. Ground Support was just a few blocks from my hotel, and was on a great street in SoHo. I went a few times during my stay, and was always impressed.
The atmosphere is relaxing, productive, and artsy. They have long picnic benches, that I shared with all the other studious hipsters (While I had my lemonade… and they had their lattes). I was very impressed with their cookies, and their grilled cheese. It had excellent people watching, and I learned a lot from listening to all the people around me. Typically, I don’t like doing work in cafes, but, i realized how much I truly do love learning about strangers… and what better way than a coffee shop.
As for the coffee, I am allergic to coffee… so I didn’t try it. I guess it doesn’t really make much sense for me to go to coffee shops. However, the atmosphere, service, and food was outstanding!

Well I would have given it more of a 4 – 5 stars because I have been here a few times in the past two years.
Today, I order a regular matcha latte… And maybe it comes with almond milk normally? Or I look like an almond milk kind of girl? (I’ve been told this, and to be fair I usually am). Just didn’t want it today with this pairing.
Anyway, definitely not an authentic Japanese matcha, which I didn’t expect anyway. However, because it’s on the lighter side in terms of flavor, it really just ended up being an almond milk latte with a mint green tint. No hint of matcha flavor anywhere below or in the foam. I searched. Pretty, but not particularly amazingly tasty and costed me extra.
I’ve had their cappuccinos/​lattes many a times and loved em. So maybe just stick to the basics. I will say, the latte and cappuccino have the same amount of foam… So I really feel like I’m getting the signature almond milk latte with every espresso drink i order… Which is the slight issue. It tastes fantastic though!
Would love to try their food… I got a little tinge of café food envy while sitting down and writing this review.
They have wifi, log wooden benches with picnic tables. Surprisingly bigger space than you initial think when you walk in. Airy, friendly, chill environment where you can take a nice break.

One of my favorite cafés to study in. There are a lot of benches and picnic tables inside and during the summer they leave the side door open with a bench that looks onto West Broadway. The wifi is usually good, but when they’re packed it gets a little weak.
Look out for the sign in front for things that aren’t on the menu inside!
The almond latte is amazing! It’s definitely something thing to try if you like a thicker more velvety latte.
The iced chai latte is also a good one!
Don’t get the hot chocolate though, it tastes kind of watered down.
As a matcha fan, I wasn’t that impressed with the matcha latte, it has a slight green color, but barely any taste of matcha.
The service here is nothing to compliment or complain about. They’re not mean, but they don’t come off as friendly either.
*Happy Hour starts at 5pm and you get 50% off all sandwiches! Just go before 7/7:30 of you want it heated because they start cleaning and closing the kitchen.

Awesome coffee! EVERY TIME!
We usually come here on weekend mornings. Every time we stop by and have a first sip of coffee (hubby-​soy latte, me-​almond milk cortado), we always say «OMG, delicious!!!». Their coffee is always consistently great & delicious & delicious!
We love their PB&J on baguette & almond croissant.

Order your cup of espresso, and find a nice bench to sit and enjoy! Love that you can bring your pooch with ya… since they do have outdoor bench seatings. They even have a cute little cute outdoor courtyard where your dogs can socialize amongst each other, even lift a leg or two! Arf, arf!
Their bagels here seems to be a big hit, but their espresso is amazing. Smooth! Coffee here was also quite delightful! So if you find yourself in SOHO, and want to immerse in local SOHO style, I suggest start your morning cup here! You’ll be pleasantly surprised!
Until then, Cheers! ~ :p

Great coffee spot in SOHO, there are long benches and a decent number of chairs for seating, great spot to take a break from shopping, catch up with friends or just hang out, refresh with coffee and a snack! Coffee is good and they have water too which is always nice.
They don’t rush you if you grab a coffee and sit for a while. Love the vibe of this place.
Note, while this place can seat 20 – 30 people, there is only one unisex bathroom in the back, so the bathroom wait can get long.

Great place to get your morning cup of coffee. Their espresso drinks are delicious. They craft their drinks so well that you don’t get an overly acidic burnt taste like some other coffee shops.
In addition to coffee they also have teas, sandwiches and cookies.
Their grilled cheese sandwiches are pretty good. I also like their «turkey picnic.» It’s a turkey sandwich with smoked Gouda cheese, BBQ sauce, potato chips, lettuce, and tomato. I love that they put potato chips in the sandwich. I feel like it gives the sandwich an awesome texture.
My favorite tea there is the jasmine pearl. They use loose leaf tea so you will really get a great flavor.
There are 3 share picnic bench tables, a bar counter and benches for seating. All the patrons seem nice and don’t mind if you sit down next to them.
Overall a great place to go for coffee and to get out of the cold.

Came here to study on a rainy Saturday afternoon. FREE WIFI with purchase; I got a small latte for here that was strong yet well balanced. My 2 look-​outs for a good coffee place beyond the taste is if their barista’s make art when they pour the milk into the coffee and if u order for here they provide it in a ceramic mugs; they have both :). I was also having some trouble connecting to the Internet and the staff were very helpful.
The place is cozy and small but they have some communal tables for people to work /​chat. Total place seats about 30.
