Abraco, New York, New York, Coffee Restaurant Details

Food:

Great place for coffee. The service is super friendly and the baristas know their craft inside out. The place is tiny and can get crowded, so be ready to wait a bit. Don't expect fancy couches or a five page menu. These guys keep it simple: great coffee, that's it.

Food:

Hands down, the best coffee in New York. A tiny neighborhood spot beloved by locals and visitors alike. Especially known for olive oil cake and espresso. Because of their love of the craft (and philosophy about how coffee should be made) they don't make a lot of substitutions (for example: milk = whole milk and nothing else). Despite this, or perhaps because of it, this is my FAVORITE place to get coffee. They have the most perfectly crafted latte I've ever had the pleasure of tasting.

Food:

Abraco Expresso is nice quaint little coffee shop in the East Village. I tried their espresso it was on point with other authentic barista places in NYC. I would recommend this place to any coffee lover who visits the city.

Food:

-Cappuccino ($3.5) tasted quite good with sugar. Smooth and not bitter. I was trying to savor every sip but ended up drinking the whole thing within a minute. (3.5/5)
-Olive oil cake ($3) is amazing! Dense, rich and moist. I had a mediocre experience with olive oil cake at Ai Fiori but Abraço's olive oil cake completely changed me. I love it! (5/5)

Food:

I really liked the atmosphere of this little bar. They stand behind the idea that a coffee shop is a place to have a social atmosphere (rather than sit silently on your laptop), and their small space enforces this.

Their olive oil cake is yummy. It didn't blow me away, but definitely good quality. I wasn't too impressed with their cappuccino though - it was a bit bitter. The baristas were a bit stand-offish but not unfriendly.

I recommend this place for the experience and social feel, the pastries are above average however the coffee quality is just average. I also did not like that they do not offer part skim or dairy replacement options.
