Café Angelique
Friendly staff and quality croissants accompany the Lavazza coffee at this charming West Village café. My doppio (“double espresso” in NYC parlance) was strong and smooth. Milk-based coffee drinks, both hot and cold, do big numbers it seems, but the brain-freeze bonus to look for is the mixed-berry smoothie, which comes in a carafe.

Decent coffee, proper sized cups so you don’t have to down a litre of brewed guff. No chocolate for cappuccinos, but otherwise pretty good and comparable to a half decent Australian cafe. Very trendy vibe. Service is friendly but can come across as aloo…

Actually a bookshop, as the name implies: the coffee here is not exemplary. Buy a book, get a not-bad-but-not-great coffee, schnarf some free wifi, and make awkward, furtive eye contact with adorable intelligent booknerds of your preferred gender.

The coffee drinks have always been great. Only downside is the noisy crowds that sometimes rush in for the adjoining theater productions. Otherwise, one of my favorite spots.
