Home Espresso Bar

I had a negative experience with the man who worked there but the coffee was on point.

This is a tiny gem with great salads, wonderful sandwiches and gourmet breakfast all day. Coffee fiends won’t be disappointed and chef owner Home is a blast to talk to.

Great spot, great music and great sandwich. Home (the owner) is a perfect host. Special reco for the fresh squeezed juice and the California sandwich!

Very good spot for breakfast, brunch or just a snack. Home, the owner is very friendly and always welcoming. I have been living on the area for a while and this is definitely my favorite spot. Great organic coffee as well! Go

Feels like home. No, truly.
Here are simple wooden table and chairs, some put together as a communal space, some set apart along the wall… Here is a guitar hanging on a wall — I had one of those growing up, hanging on the wall as well, never used… Here are French drawings in style that I adore… And an old coffee grinder sitting on the window seal…
«Small cup of soy macchiato and oatmeal cookie please.
Yes, to stay.
Thank you.
Appreciate it.»
Sit. Relax. Listen to quirky beats murmuring on a background. Sip your coffee and get lost in your nostalgic dreams.

I came here to get away from Starbucks on Delancey, which is my usual spot to work on my laptop, plus their bathroom wasn’t working at the time, I looked this place up 2 blocks away.
I ordered some lunch, had the grilled chicken panini, it was made to order, and tasted great. Cappuccino was yummy as well. Although I was in the middle of the afternoon, I was the only customer sitting down, and I was there for at least 3 hours, owner had no problem me squatting with my laptop, and he was nice.
Wish this place got more business, even though I do support corporate Starbucks at least 5 times a week, I’ll definitely try to make this local spot one of my regular rotation of quiet places to work, having a nice sandwich and coffee to boot.

Such a sweet spot… cozy corners, healthy food, kind service – the name fits: feels like Home. ;)

first review ever but i’m still incredulous. i got charged $ 4.50 for a tea. i can’t think of what would make a half teaspoon of tea leaves worth that much, unless it was the boiled tap water that i was paying for?
then, the tea came in a tiny glass pot with a broken spout sharp enough to stab someone with.
unreasonable prices and tort liability? thanks but no.

A very cozy little coffee shop that makes each cup fresh for you. I was working in the area and came by for a little pick-​me-​up. The guy behind the counter was very sweet, but seemed confused when I asked for cream in my coffee. Quite tiny but wasn’t crowded on a Thursday.

Came in around 8 am on a Tuesday to do some work before heading out for the day. This spot is so legit and weirdly under the radar. Great wifi, plenty of seating, outlets-​a-​plenty, top level ice coffee and great, simple breakfast and lunch choices. I had the granola, which came in a large serving, covered nicely with fresh strawberries and blueberries and a bit of powdered sugar on top.
The décor is nice too. Exposed brick, guitars hanging, and excellent all-​around branding. Definitely will be coming back.

Perfect cozy place, got my breakfast there! Recommend Home Bar to everyone:)

Wen I ordered the quinoa salad what I got was a mountain of deliciousness! I highly recommend the quinoa salad.
This place is small, no denying that.
Three 2-​person tables and one long, 6-​person table inside, perhaps a few small tables outside.
If you’re there for a cup of coffee, he’ll give you a red-​eye (espresso and hot water), at least that’s what it looked like he gave me. It was delicious.
Home, the owner, is an eager, sharp, and nice guy.
They take cards, but have some cash on hand if you plan to tip, the system they use doesn’t do tips well. Something like that.

What more can you ask for on a hot, humid NYC day than delicious cold-​pressed iced coffee and now serving fresh pressed juices?
The older man working the counter was cheerful and courteous and accommodated our sudden order change without a complaint. The cold-​pressed iced coffee was delicious, complete with dairy-​free milk, and the juice was so good I hardly got to look at it before my husband completely devoured it.
Although I didn’t try any, they seemed to have a good selection of lighter-​fare menu items and they’re right next to a gluten-​free, vegan cupcake institution — the perfect pairing!
The décor was beautiful — slightly industrial, with a beautiful old wooden door to nowhere and steel lighting fixtures. My only complaint was that the place was teensie tiny! Barely enough room for tables and chairs.

Home is a cute shop. I’d walked past it a few times but never gone in. The staff are super nice, especially the owner and the cutie pie waiter. The menu is written on the tile walls and the glass cabinet has some tasty stuff in it. Bread oriented cafes reek of familiarity because Melbournites are ridiculous carbed up bread pigs and the market caters for that. I order the iced coffee.
‘Wow $ 2.50 that’s cheap.’ But Mimi has the wrong idea about the drink. About what it is. ‘Meme.’ I gesture at the waiter ‘preparing’ the iced coffee, which involves releasing it from the tap of a four gallon bucket. ‘What the f*#*k?’ She breathes. Yes in New York iced coffee is made in bulk. It’s put in a bucket where it sits until someone releases it into your cup. There’s no ice-​cream and no cream. That’s why the thing is cheap. That’s why I started drinking coffee.
We are the only customers but it takes them a long time to prepare the food. When it arrives it’s virtually inedible. Dry like cardboard. But I eat it anyway then we complain to each other. I won’t ever eat at Home Espresso Bar again. However because the staff are really nice I imagine I will drink their bucket coffee again.

Great spot to come for a bite. Yeah, it’s small inside, but it wasn’t too crowded, and our group of 4 managed to find seats for more than an hour on a Sunday afternoon.
I had a big chocolate chip cookie ($ 3), and the guy heated it up so the chocolate was all melty and delicious. It was so good. I wasn’t even going to order something, but I had a bite of my friend’s cookie and I just had to have my own… and once I got it, I couldn’t stop eating it haha I devoured it in like 5 minutes!

Very impressed… Stopped by on a Sunday recently and was lucky enough to speak to the owner, Home, who takes immense pride in his coffee and espresso which is of the finest quality from all over the world. Also, make sure to try the corn soup!
Good for an afternoon break, morning cup of joe, or a lazy Sunday in NYC. Will be one of my cozy spots in the coming cold winter months.

Another adorable, stylish place –albeit TINY. This cozy little spot boasts more exposed brick and rich wood — my favorite style combo.
The menu looks exquisite and the espresso is amazing — very strong and flavorful.
Props to the sweet staff and the friendly owner for making us feel right at home.

Cute Place and friendly service by the staff. When I asked the guy behind the counter if they have Iced Americano, the guy told me that they can make anything I’d like. And he even offered me to try a sample of their Iced Coffee that’s comparable in terms of strength to their Americano and has more «flavor». It was pretty good but dunno about the «strength» as it didn’t really do much for my tired body.
They have Iced Lemon Water and Rose Water for the customers on the side which is thoughtful. The place is tiny but has a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. This place loses a star because the Iced Coffee was not that strong and priced at $ 4 (wasn’t even a large cup) as opposed to the Iced Americano that costs $ 3. For $ 4, I expected a larger sized cup.

Walked past this cute coffee place and I am glad I did. Super quaint, great coffee and yummy food– its the perfect café to spend hours at.
Staff was very friendly and the owner– Home, is quite a lively person.
For those combing the streets of the Lower East Side– its worth coming here for an espresso or a late and avoid the terrible coffee at Starbucks…

Delicious, frothy, creamy coffee creations — that really brighten my day. In the chill of winter this café really stands out as cozy and artsy. a perfect match to the feel of the neighborhood. The counter guy is really nice, too.
