Bean & Bean

Good service and pretty decent iced coffee. Went there to study but found it a little too dark with limited space. Will definitely go back for a quick coffee run, though.

The matcha lattes here are my favorite! Apart from the fact that it’s close to the subway and is fast/​moderately fast service when you’re on the go, they accept CUPS and I got $ 10 off using a promo code I found through Unilocal (2zbgi)

First the disclaimer: I’m in the coffee business, but do no «official» business with these folks. I do, however, stop in from time to time for a cup of coffee and a muffin on the way to work.
The coffee is excellent — been enjoying their Tanzanian Peaberry pour over lately. Staff is chill, good music, not too busy, definitely not overcrowded, and they keep it moving. The muffins are so good I now have muffin handles, which is not a good thing. Drat! No more muffins for a while.
Nice place to stop for well selected, well prepared coffee, caring staff, and a place to sit if you are so inclined. Pour over and muffin comes to $ 8, which is a reflection of drinking a single origin coffee prepared lovingly with patience. Your bill probably will be less.

I came here on a whim to look for my usual drink: matcha green tea latte with almond milk. To my surprise, they actually have it, either iced or hot! The barista was savvy enough to ask if I wanted it sweetened or not. It was good, although probably not the best I have had but very close.

Very good espresso and fast service. I’ve gotten the coffee and it is delicious. Price is high, but it is organic. Right by the ⁴⁄₅ subway exit. They get you in and out very quick. Plus they are very nice! Sometimes I get their oatmeal with fruit as well. No complaints here!

Pleasantly surprised by its freshly roasted beans everyday! The expresso is exceptionally amazing!
They take CUPS app! So get yourself a free $ 10 code: fenel

A coffee shop. With tables and coffee.

If you’re all about organic like me, this is definitely your coffee go to place. I have the CUPS app, and it seems that I spend way less than going to Starbucks.
The people are always friendly, and the WIFI is nice.
Try the white mocha or green tea latter — delish!!!

Nice place on Broadway, near wall st. The baristas are always very friendly, as opposed to other cafes I’ve been to around the area. Would recommend !

3.5 stars
I discovered this place via the cups app and figured it was worth a try since it’s near my work office. Small little coffee shop, but great service. If you have any questions, the baristas are glad to explain the different coffees and how they are made to you. Pricey ($ 6-​$ 8 for a large), but if you use the cups app, you can get a large latte for less than $ 3!

Great place to work out of. The environment was very relaxing and quiet for the most part. Also loved the music playing throughout the day!

Really good coffee shop in Fidi, a neighborhood overrun by fast-​paced cafes and starbuckses.
Staff is super nice. Great place to sit with laptop and do some work. A few more savory food options would be welcome, however.

I stopped in for a couple hours to get some work done. There is not much seating, but it seems to be the work crowd that weaves in and out so seats open up quickly. The honey latte on the menu caught my eye as I’ve never seen it in other coffee shops. I used my CUPS app to order a large honey latte. I waited awhile and noticed that my drink still wasn’t ready, so I went up to the barista. Apparently, he said someone else took my drink so he made another for me. The drink was nicely sweetened. Other than the mixup over my drink, I enjoyed the drink and was able to get work done in a fairly quiet setting.

I work by this place but have never tried it so I decided to give it a go. I had a honey latte and it was really sweet but right up my ally. I thought it was going to be cheaper than Starbucks but not by much. I would come here for an occasional coffee but it adds up with drinks are this pricey. My coworkers always come back with oatmeal and muffins that they really enjoy from this spot. Next thing on my list to try!

First time here! I always pass by and see the Organic Coffee sign and was in the mood to try it today. Just ordered a regular coffee, and put 2 RAW sugar and half/​half. The coffee is quite true to it’s description: full-​bodied, aromatic and balanced. Not sour, and a pleasure to drink. Just finished it and I’m left wishing I ordered a larger size :) This is kind of of coffee that would go well with dark chocolate.
The décor is rustic old style kind of feel, but the cleanliness is so-​so. There was a fly entertaining itself near the cream/​sugar/​napkin area, not very appealing. 4 stars for the great coffee, but I’d give it 3 stars for the lack of cleanliness.

I like this little coffee shop in the financial district. It’s right downstairs from where I stay when I’m in the city, so that will keep me coming back just because of convenience. However, I do really like the coffee– the espresso is great, and even the regular coffee is very good. The small macarons are extremely tempting, but there are healthier options, such as a small cup of oatmeal with milk and other toppings (SO good). The service is always polite/​friendly, and usually fast.

Plenty of space, good service, immediately located off the Wall Street ⁴⁄₅.
Decent coffee, I haven’t had anything noteworthy here but recommended for your morning caffeine dose.

If you are all about the organic foods and environmental sustainability, this is the place for you. Sort of out of place in the financial district, I’d think, but a nice addition nonetheless.
My friend and I shared two muffins: the chocolate chip and the non-​fat 3 berry, I got a regular coffee, and he got a small iced coffee. All of this rang up to $ 12 and change, which wasn’t bad.
The chocolate chip muffin was a bit dry, and the berry muffin was a tad bit too tangy for me. Otherwise, they brew a mean cup of joe! Tbh, the muffins all sounded way too healthy for me. When I go for a muffin, I go for the one that is chock full of chocolate chips and glistening with a slight sheen of oil (who knows what kind). So, as I was going through the different choices in the display case, I remember being super excited about one muffin that I though was non-​fat free… well it actually read non-​fat THree… berry. but I got it anyway.
The seating area was quite spacious. We were able to get a whole long table to ourselves, which was great because my friend had a carry-​on bag that would have gotten in everyone’s way if we had to share a table with others.
I work just a little ways down the street, so I will definitely be back if I’m in need of a mid-​workday pick-​me-​up!

Bean and Bean has become my afternoon pick me up coffee spot. Small cozy little coffee spot in FIDI with great customer service. The staff are always super sweet when I come in. My new addiction is there ice coffee with vanilla syrup and soy milk. Yummy!
With so many coffee spots in FIDI, this place is one of my favorites along side Starbucks of course. On the plus side there coffee is organic. I feel there prices are cheap which is great!!! When you drink as much coffee as I do and being able to paying under $ 4 for a large ice coffee makes me a very happy camper.
The only con to this place is the lighting it’s really dull would be nice if it was brighter inside. All in all I will continue to return here and enjoy there yummy coffee and great customer service.

Croissant Only
Walking past, I decided to try their croissant instead of going to Pret. It’s ok. The structure is nice and light, but it’s not warm nor buttery enough.
