Coffee Snob: Where to Find the Best Coffee in New York

Einspänner at Café Sabarsky

Perhaps the only coffee to rival Scandanavian brews is Viennese coffee. Enjoy a nice morning at the Upper East Side’s Neue Gallerie and wake up with a coffee in their café. The Einspänner ($6) is a rich double espresso topped with a swirl of whipped cream, giving you a nice dose of cream and sugar with each sip of hot coffee.

Press Pots at Maialino

Danny Meyer’s Roman restaurant also has an all-day coffee bar that serves Counter Culture beans at the Gramercy Park Hotel. Opt for a French Press single origin brew, made to order with beans sourced seasonally from Colombia, Ethiopia, Burundi and Guatemala. If you’re in a rush, the coffee bar also serves beverages to go, so you can grab that latte and head downtown.

Kopi Luwak Coffee at Dean & Deluca

If you’re more of a DIY coffee drinker, pick up a 50 gram tin of this fair trade Thai Civet coffee. We’ll spare you the details on why this rare fermented coffee is so delicious, but at $70 a tin (it would be about $640 for a pound of these beans), you know the Arabica beans have been processed to become one of the most coveted coffees in the world.
