Joe Coffee

Conveniently located in Grand Central so I am able grab a cup on my commute in to work. The attendants are always so pleasant. Their positivity combined with Joe’s delicious coffee really makes my morning hustle so much more pleasant!

If you want real coffee go here!
This is not for your 2^nd and 3rdcup! This is for your one and only!!! You have been warned! The line us like a methadone clinic
They need it!
Don’t have more then 2 you will get lockjaw
Enjoy!
The coffee taste is strong not burnt very bitter but in a good way

Latte and cappuccino are very flavorful and creamy. The strength of the caffeine at Joe’s café will wake you up instantly. And staff is pretty friendly.
The only thing I don’t like about them is that there are no seats inside. None.

I’m so sorry Starbucks, but I’m a joe convert. This is how coffee should taste. Their house drip is always perfection and the feature brews are so amazing, you’ll wonder why you’ve been drinking coffee from anywhere else. Yes, they are pricey, but it’s so worth it. Haven’t had any of the specialty drinks yet, but I hear they’re bangin. Oh and they have almond milk!

Tried the coffee here today as I made my way over from Metro-​North and I was not disappointed. The two baristas seemed easy going and down-​to-​earth, and my double macchiato was made perfectly. Nice richness in flavor and depth. In addition to the delicious coffee, I bought a few raspberry rugelach… They were AMAZING… There aren’t many places in the city that make rugelach, let alone good rugelach, and the fact that this place sells all-​natural ones is just great. They don’t actually make them… They get them from Erica’s Rugelach located in Brooklyn (Park Slope). I may have to take a ride over there just to get some the next time I’m in Brooklyn. Their other baked goods must be equally amazing as well.

My early morning fix in Grand Central Station! One of my fav coffee shops in the area, I usually go for a Moca which is absolutely delicious. Sometimes the temperature is a bit too cold for me but it is still so damn good :)
They also have a good variety of Doughnut Plant doughnuts and other pastries.
There’s almost always a line but it moves quickly. There’s no seating which is ok most customers in Grand Central are on the go.
I’m not an iced coffee kinda guy but my friend tells me the iced coffees are good as well.
Oh yeah I love Starbucks and go there quite often mostly because they are every where in the city but, Starbucks has got nothing on Joe’s!

Stopped in to have an americano on my way out into the chilly air. It was a decent drink, though a little bit watery and without much flavor. There was something to it that made it really weak-​bodied. This is one drink, but as it is a coffee stop in Grand Central, it makes me think convenience is over quality. Staff were nice and efficient, not really engaging in small talk. Music was pretty cool — you could tell they had their own playlist and it was swell stuff.

Hands down the best coffee I’ve ever had. It’s pricey, but well worth the money. They also sell a limited selection of doughnuts from Doughnut Plant and various pastries. This one in grand central is tiny and there’s always a line, but moves quickly. It’s definitely worth being a few minutes late to work.

It’s in my top three list of coffee places in the city. I love this coffee chain and wouldn’t hesitate to stop into any location, though the GCT spot is very convenient and I’ve been there many many times. The GCT spot has no seating, but the service is always friendly, even in the morning with long lines. The line moves relatively quickly too… they understand that people in need of a caffeine fix are likely grumpy and they do their best to put a smile on your face. My go-​to is a small vanilla soy latte, but their cold brew is excellent too. Ditto with the iced coffee.

I take the train to see my parents at least 2 times a month and whenever I’m in Grand Central I get coffee at Joe. They have cold brew here if you’re into that and always have nice baristas. Hands down, it’s better than Starbucks and it’s just in from the double door entrance on Lexington,

Joe Coffee makes fantastic espresso beverages, but mostly I am impressed by how cheery the staff is at this location! How is it possible that you serve the masses at Grand Central Terminal and still stay patient and positive? These employees are fantastic! Considering the cost of coffee all around the city their prices are very fair. Unlike other multi-​location shoppes in the area, they have a loyalty card which is a great added bonus. If I’m ever in midtown and craving a cappuccino I will go out of my way to stop into this Joe Coffee.

Super quick and efficient, always liked joes coffee! They also have doughnut plant doughnuts so that’s awesome and delicious — had the triple chocolate one and it was moist, chocolately, and small enough to not be too filling.

How much do I love Joe Coffee? My 92 check-​ins pretty much explains my obsession and I still have not obtained my dukedom over this place. By far, this location is the best, even though it’s the smallest (no seating). The staff are always friendly and they all seem to have this upbeat vibe, which makes my mornings a whole lot better. Since my last review, they finally went from a cash-​only system to a credit card payment system via iPad. Thank goodness! It was always a struggle for me to find pocket change to pay for my morning joe. One time, I even gave them a roll of quarters.
On my good days, I usually go for just a cup of cappuccino or cortado. On bad days, I add a Doughnut Plant chocolate donut to my order. They’re so bad, yet so good which ultimately counterbalances what I foresee to be a bad day for me. I do wish they have healthier pastry options but who’s going to buy that when you have a stack of juicy donuts right in front of your face?

There’s nothing like a cup of Joe in the morning to wake you up before you head on over to work.
I usually get a cold brew and the occasional donut. I prefer the coffee here compared to Starbucks and Gregory’s, which are also located in Grand Central, but I like to switch it up from time to time so I rotate between the three. Joe’s is my favorite at the moment, though.
The flavor is nice and round, none of that over acidic stuff that reminds me of burnt coffee beans that Starbucks serves. I also really like that they have simple syrup on the counter next to the milk because there’s nothing worse than sugar granules that won’t dissolve in an iced beverage.
It’s not the kind of place you sit and lounge. It’s strictly for people on the go, you go in, order and walk right back out. Perfect when you’re on the run.

I’m in love!!! Simply hooked with the intoxicating aroma and taste of the most amazing espresso in New York hands down!
I have traveled throughout the city in search of the best coffee and finally found it! Grand Central Joe’s is the place to go when in dire need of a shot of espresso or a deliciously prepared cortado. The staff is super friendly and just the best, they always greet you with a smile! You will definitely love this place!

I love the Joe bar coffee shops. When I found out there was one on the way of my walk to work, I knew I had to find. It’s hidden and Grand Central can definitely be overwhelming.
This is the trick — -you go uptown on Lexington — you pass the Grand Central Market — enter the doors on the left — Joe will be on your left, both the cart and the shop.
Joe got smart and set up a cart for those who know they want that drip and get to work. You walk up, order, get a punch on your card of course, serve yourself one of the two caffeinated types of coffee. I guess if you are a little nutty – there is decaf. Also there are some treats. I highly recommend the Pistachio Cardamom Bread. It has become a recent obsession of mine. That pistachio flavor is amazing. It always leaves a lovely little oil mark on the bag so it’s most definitely a naughty treat but so worth the gym time. There are also croissants, cookies and Doughnut Plant doughnuts. One day I will grab a doughnut but I see that more in the fall.
I waited in the coffee shop line this week. And I literally got one of my top five iced lattes of my life. It might have also been the fact that I didn’t ask for non fat milk. There was the creaminess of the cold milk with the roasted, deep flavor of the espresso. Nothing could really beat grabbing the coffee and cutting through Grand Central on my way to work. I felt like I was truly in a NY movie!
I will say there are no tables, stools, chairs or anything to lounge. This makes them lose the extra star. The location in the Village is still a favorite mine for lounging purposes and cuteness. But Grand Central is a great back drop and this morning there was even an impromptu jazz band playing right across the coffee shop.

Great coffee with a smile in the morning for the grumpy. I really don’t like how it’s cash only though, since then I have to deal with change.
I’d never regularly commuted by Joe until recently. The coffee cart concept is brilliant — I’ve pretty much weaned off of Starbucks (for convenience purposes) and the awful coffee at the deli below my office. You pay and then it’s somewhat self-​serve. Two thumbs up for having almond milk. Sadly there aren’t any healthy breakfast options but they have an impressive selection of Ovenly and Doughnut Plant goodies.
Areas for improvement:
— Ipad payment or app payment.
— The lid, straw, milk, sugar area gets really dirty or bottlenecked. You could be waiting for a lid but someone’s monopolizing the entire area. Make this area longer or larger slash more streamlined?

A very impressive coffee spot inside of Grand Central Terminal. Their fresh brew coffee aroma is hard to resist. Needless to say, there is almost always a line here especially in the morning! There are no seatings and it is meant to be a grab and go spot.
When trying any new coffee spot, cappuccino is how they can make their first impression on me. I say so for sure, it’s pretty good here. Well-​balanced amount of milk and coffee. Not to mention, neat latte art puts a smile on my face. Get it!
Cold Brew is respectable. Excellent drip coffee here. Bold taste and refreshing.
A huge selection variety of coffee beans from different parts of the world if you would like to bring some home as well. Overall, a solid coffee shop for the morning or for the afternoon.

My wife and I wanted to try another new local spot in NY for coffee so we found Joes. Very small place, holds about 5 – 10 people max and there is no sitting area.
Cashier provided excellent service, very informative, and made sure to explain the sizes and how much coffee came in.
Good coffee, strong and rich full.

Another very efficient location. Even though there is a line out the door everyday, it goes by really quickly. If you’re in a real hurry, they also have a kiosk outside for grab and go coffee.
The coffee here is strong and the portions are small (this is a good thing for a coffee place).
But what I love most is that the people here genuinely seem like they like each other and their jobs.
They only accept cash here. Next time you go, notice what happens when you forget to bring cash.
That’s pretty gravy, baby.
