As a native Southern Californian, I never experienced the joy of fall: the crisp, cool air, the red-orange foliage, the transition from shorts and sandals to pants and boots. In Southern California, summer temperatures dominate every season, so experiencing autumn in New York City has been a nice change of pace during these past three years.
Now, when I think of fall in the City, I also think of coffee.
Coffee may be a year-round indulgence for most, but to me, nothing says fall like a hot, foamy latte.
This fall, grab an inspiring book or a good friend, and try out the best coffee shops in Lower Manhattan!
12 Corners
Named the best coffee shop in New York City by Business Insider, 12 Corners has recently been the talk of the town. This coffee shop’s specialty is the pumpkin pie latte, which is reason enough to visit!
The Roost
The Roost is the most unconventional coffee shop on this list. Not only can you get your caffeine fix at The Roost, but also you can quench your thirsts for craft beer and bourbon! You’ll get a special kick out of any drink here.
Third Rail
As the best coffee shop in the area, Third Rail attracts all the NYU students. This coffee shop has become the popular place to hang out, so if you can’t snag a table, take your coffee for a stroll in nearby Washington Square Park!
Kaffe 1668
This Swedish-influenced coffee shop goes against the grain, putting out products that it likes, not necessarily ones that the public wants. To get a taste of Swedish coffee and the all important fika, give this place a try.
Everyman Espresso
Everyman Espresso is more than just a local coffee shop; it is the local coffee shop. Warm, welcoming, innovative, and delicious would be the best words to describe this cozy spot. I will definitely be spending some more time here this fall – and you should, too!
Abraço
New York City gets a taste of Southern European coffee culture with this one! Abraço is influenced by Spanish and Italian coffee shops, and since I trust the tastes of both countries, this place is always a winner in my eyes.
There you have it! Those are the best coffee shops in Lower Manhattan. Have you tried any of them? Which of your favorite NYC coffee shops should’ve made the list?
That is such a neat collection. I wanna go to New York so badly. By the way, would you recommend going there in February? Isn’t it freezing cold at that time?
Love, kerstin

Kerstin, Yes it is absolutely FREEZING at that time. I’ve gone to visit Mauricio the past two years for Valentine’s Day and it’s been as cold as -22 C. It’s crazy cold! BUT NYC is my favorite city in the world, so I would recommend going anytime. If you can get past the cold, you’ll have an amazing time! And travel rates will be lower too! :)
I HAVE to save this for when I’m back in NYC next Summer! Great article once again!
Thanks, Naomi! :)
