Macchiato Espresso Bar

Macchiato Espresso Bar is place to be to get a hot coffee or espresso drink! It simply taste so good. This was my very first time trying this Macchiato location and I am glad I did because I cannot begin the day without a cup of coffee
They offer a few suggestions if you ask and you must try their chocolate cookies, because after one bite you will know they one of the best from a coffee shop.

Hands down the BEST chocolate chip cookies are here! I used to drop in on my lunch break when my office was right across the street… must’ve gained a few pounds just from the cookies haha! They’re made from Valrhona chocolate, are always fresh, moist, and melts in your mouth! Service is pretty good and the staff is friendly.

Hard to find spot with allegedly good coffee & better sandwiches, but found the avocado salad solid.

Cute little coffee shop in New York! I got the mocha and it was on point… definitely better than Starbucks 110%. The service is speedy and friendly as well, a great place for a work coffee break. It was pointed out to me that the cookies are delicious but did not try them, but I will be back there soon to try them for sure.

I’m not sure why my office loves this place, probably for its convenience.
Worst bagel and cream cheese I’ve ever had in New York, even worse than the bagels with the square of cream cheese you can get at a cart.
This place sux0rs.

Ugh. For a place called Macchiato, you’d think they would serve a good one. Bitter. Thin. Service aloof at best.

Hmm not a great experience I’m afraid — in a city that prides itself on great coffee I ordered a medium au lait and was given a giant tube of piping hot water. The coffee was awful and (even though I like a milky drink) this was way too much. The staff should point out that a medium is gigantic and also maybe try not to burn the milk so much

I was craving for a good cup of hot chocolate, walked in randomly. Very friendly place and their hot chocolate was exceed my expectation! Will definitely return next time.

Great coffee spot. Really well made coffee and excellent service. They know how to make a caffeine lover happy.

The coffee and sandwiches are of great quality and freshness. The warm chocolate chip cookies are insanity! Always very friendly staff. Great place to do work as well.

As good as it gets mid town, when it comes to espresso, and the chocolate chip cookies are to die for. Stop by at the end of your lunch and impress your prospects /​coworkers /​dates /​spouses

*As a forewarning, I’ve never tried the coffee here. The rating is solely for ambiance, speed of service, and the cookies.
I came here one day with a coworkers in the middle of the day for her to get a coffee. The line wasn’t terrible, but service was quick and friendly. I can imagine the place getting packed at times, but the vibe is friendly, business/​casual, and upbeat but productive. However, my 5-​star rating comes from the chocolate chip cookie. IT IS HEAVENLY. Baked to perfection, slightly crunchy on the outside with a gooey center, it was still warm and melty. For a quick sweet stop in the middle of the day, I don’t imagine I could find anything better.

Coffee/​lattes are good, but the baked goods are kind of disappointing! I still don’t understand why high-​end coffee shops in NY don’t have high quality bagels. It’s NY! Good for a morning or afternoon pick-​me-​up, though.

Probably the only espresso bar that has a TV screen showing CNBC, just like I’m working in my office! Coffee is obviously of secondary importance here as the décor was so adorable! Glass went directly up to the ceiling. Try the macchiato, just as its name indicated.

Just stopped in for a large iced coffee ($ 4.30). Too watery. I’m not a starbucks fan for reference, although their iced coffee is better than the one here. Love Birch and Dean and Deluca. Joe’s iced coffee is good too. This one was meh. Didn’t eat here so it’s not technically a fair one star review but if it’s called macchiato I would have expected the coffee to be their strong suit!

Ordered food for a bunch of colleagues and I when I was working out of my midtown office. The avocado salad was very fresh, and their cookies really are amazing. I would definitely recommend this midtown lunch spot (as good ones are hard to find).

Okay, I just stopped in for coffee and a pastry but I’ve certainly had better service, coffee and food. The service is not particularly personal nor attentive. The pain au chocolate which I had tasted like your typical machine made sweet item. Most disappointing was the Americano coffee which was far too watery — I ended up throwing it out and using the machine in the office. There are so may coffee options in the city, I’d skip this one and even wait in line at that monster competitor with the green sign.

A great alternative to the corporate Starbucks. Enjoyed a large dirty chai (not on the menu but they will make it for you. Even «filthy»). The butter croissant was fresh! Nice spot.

The coffee here is delicious and so iare the muffins. The service is friendly and the décor is very Euro Chic. Nice tables and wide open spaces. My new favorite coffee bar. I have been to 2 of these.

Coffee, espresso, sandwich, cookie. Macchiato does a solid job with all of them. A good, consistent coffee complemented by a strong, aromatic espresso. A meal involving a delicious grilled halumi sandwich (The Macchiato) deserves to be finished off with an amazing chocolate chip cookie that melts into your taste buds.
With Gregory’s becoming overly crowded and inconsistent in quality as of late, Macchiato is an excellent alternative that deserves your attention for a coffee experience in Midtown East. The chic décor and reduced decibel levels do not hurt either.

The avocado salad here is AMAZING. The combination of arugula, generous slices of avocado, hearts of palm, sun-​dried tomato, mushroom and cherry tomatoes work very well together, and the honey dijon mustard dressing is perfect. The pine nuts enhances the flavors beautifully. I’ve never really enjoyed a salad as much as I have this one. Feels pricey, especially considering there is no meat, but it tastes so good and healthy, with such fresh, quality ingredients, that it’s worth it.
A coworker and I split the turkey sandwich once, and the bread had a delicious crunchy crusty exterior that was definitely a cut above other midtown lunch sandwiches I’ve had. And that cookie I previously raved about is still there, tantalizing in its glass encasement.
Only thing is like many places in this area, their hours follow office hours. Closed on weekends, and they close early (3pm) on certain weekday holidays like Good Friday.

This is my office’s regular spot since it’s right behind our building… but with good reason! Excellent drinks, clean lounging area, and crave-​worthy CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES.
If you can catch them fresh out of the oven, do not hesitate and get some immediately! Crisp on the outsides and dense with a chewy texture on the inside, they are the perfect accompaniment to your coffee.
The interior is also great. love the clean, minimalistic vibe going here.

Man do I love my espressos and cappuccinos and these guys knock it out of the park! They do have everything a caffeine lover may need but I am very very picky when it comes to those two especially.
Forget your Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts, suck it up and come here and you will not be disappointed.
Grab a homemade chocolate chip cookie that’s warmed up too, and you will be in heaven!
They also have an assortment of breakfast pastries, salads and wraps for lunch and always bustling throughout the day… not open on weekends until around the Christmas holiday, so stick to it during your workweek!
