Konditori

good almond latte, GF muffins are moist and fresh, cardamom pastry thing is delicious, friendly barista, open early!

Love the iced teas here! They take a while to make but definitely worth it. Loved both the Earl Grey and the English breakfast. They serve Harney & Sons tea. Very small inside though – not much seating available so this is more of a pick up/​to go kind of place.

Found this spot because it was the only coffee place in the half mile radius that was open at 7:30am besides starbucks. I had a perfect cappuccino and the guy who ran the whole shop; food, Batista, cash register, etc., was super kind. I’ll be back often.

From the outside, Konditori appears large and spacious but when you walk in it’s as small as a food truck… you walk in and you stop because that’s how small it is LOL
there was literally one guy running the place: taking the orders, spreading the cream cheese on the bagel, making the lattes and ringing up the customers.
I got a iced Chai which was perfect. I originally wanted the iced Chai latte but there was miscommunication on the ordering which was not the barista’s fault.
The iced Chai was refreshing and well balanced. Not too spicy and not bland which was nice. Good for a quick pick me up!

Nice smooth latte. Best coffee I’ve had in NYC to be honest. Perfectly heated and delicious. Great job. Hope they expand to have more seating. But it’s nice and cool inside.

I used to always stop by after my morning hot yoga class to pick up an iced tea or cold brew! Everyone who works here is super friendly and makes your morning a little sweeter. They have stamp cards so you can get a free drink after 10 purchases which didn’t take too long for me. The space is a little cramped so I wouldn’t feel comfortable sitting for a while and doing work but it’s a great place to stop by for bagels and tea/​coffee. The iced cinnamon tea is my favorite!

Came here to do a little studying with a friend. Not the best if you’re claustrophobic cause the space is very tight. However, we came at an off hour and were able to take up a table to ourselves.
Both got mochas, which we loved.
*no bathroom here, but hotel down the street is nice
*wifi — yes
*outlets — yes

This place is SMALL. Here’s only two tables and one long side table by the window. The coffee is alright, nothing super special. I ordered an iced English breakfast and it was really watered down. Oh well, I expected it to be.
Overall a fine place to chat if you can grab seats, otherwise head somewhere else cause there’s no bathroom here either.

Really tiny space, but good flat white coffee, nice staff and outlets for our laptops.
I’m a fan.
I just worry that it can get super-​crowded in there.

The cardamom bread is pretty good and a nice breakfast if you’re feeling like a sweet (as opposed to savory) morning.

This is a small shop but the coffee is strong. Konditori is a scandanavian coffee shop (not really sure what that means) but I do know that its one of the best places in the area. Not your usual laid back spot. Seating is on high metal stools and space is cramped. Maybe about 4 tables and a counter — enough seating for about 12 people in all. Its a good grab and go place.

Came here looking for a bagel and coffee and was not disappointed. The bagels are fresh from Brooklyn and the cream cheese is thickly spread on top. The coffee is out of this world. Highly recommend!

This small Swedish coffee shop is just too adorable. The space inside is pretty efficient, and is perfect for you and your laptop. The atmosphere is very amicable and its the perfect place to study if you don’t mind a little bit of light music playing in the background. The brick walls decorated with eccentric artwork and open-​face window make it the perfect spot to take a break on a beautiful day.
The service was awesome and efficient.
Next time i’m back I’ll definitely have to try their yummy looking pastries!

A 3.5! Came by in search of a quiet study spot on a Sunday afternoon with a friend and this place was pretty darn close to perfect for that. Definitely a cramped seating area (2 small tables and 5 bar seats) but if you can score one of the two tables on the side, you’re golden! It was a super sunny day in the middle of this freezing dreary season and their floor to ceiling windows are a great way to take advantage and see some sun. It did get crowded and noisy once in a while when big groups would come in to order coffee but because of the super limited seating most people took their orders to go.
The coffee was decent, but definitely not the main draw to the shop for me. Tried both the hot and iced latte and didn’t feel that they were flavorful enough to rave about. Machines in the back were also a bit dirty. I was excited to try the cardamom bread other reviewers were writing about but by 2PM on a Sunday, all they had left were chocolate coconut balls which I’d probably skip next time around.
Will definitely be back on a quiet day to get some work done though!

This location advertises the «Swedish tonic» which I love — 2 shots of espresso over ice and tonic water. It will get you out of a slump when regular coffee won’t! I tried it at the Williamsburg location and became hooked.
I looked forward to it my entire day (have been holed up working on a huge project for the last month, so I cherish the little things). Then when I get there, the guy tells me they don’t serve it now — only in the summer.
Here’s a tip — don’t advertise shit you don’t have! Or if you’re too lazy to change your board, maybe don’t put it outside?
And I got that drink at the other location a month ago! Sure didn’t seem like summer to me!
A free coffee for walking out of my way in the snow would have earned you another star. So would eye contact by the employee working, but I guess the blog he was reading on his iPad was too good.
Ugh I really wanted that drink.

Made for a productive morning at this hidden coffee shop in the Lower East side. My first time there on a weekday morning, and I noticed the barista remembered most customers’ orders. There is sparse seating, but it never got so crowded. My mocha latte was the best I’ve had in a while #cupsapp

Fun atmosphere with just a unique set up. You go in and head right to order your drink then the left side is all seating. Awesome that they just joined the CUPS family so you can use the CUPS app here for cheaper drinks! WOo! I ordered the Mocha latte which was AMAZING. I wanted another cup when I finished it. It wasn’t too bitter or too sweet. Just the right amount of chocolatey goodness.

Hands down the best. I come here every morning before work for my usual double espresso.
Pros: The service. They always have my espresso ready for me when I get there! I’m not great with names, but they are all great. So chill and laid back. It’s the perfect place to be. The espresso and lattes are amazing. Very delicious and the bagels are even better! Get those on the weekends. Baked fresh. Not like any other New York bagel. Soooo good!
Cons: Nothing at all!

This looked like a cool spot, but sadly I was pretty disappointed. I ordered a plain espresso. Maybe Swedish coffee is more different from regular coffee than I expected, but. I just flat out thought it tasted bad! Yecch. It was also surprisingly loud.
I didn’t try any, but the pastries did look good?

I want to like this place but its tough. It is very very small and can get overwhelmed by a small group of people. This makes it frustrating for people waiting on coffee, those who are «lucky» enough to get seats, and certainly the single employee who is trying to keep it all together. Im not sure there is anything they can do about it since its such a small space but it makes other options in the neighborhood more appealing.
That being said, the coffee could be better too. I found my redeye to be bitter and at $ 4.35, thats a very expensive pill to swallow. These facts make me sad because like I said, I want to like this place.
