A List Of The Best Lattes In Manhattan

When it comes to New York City trends, boutique high end coffee is near the top of the list. Suddenly it seems any neighborhood you go to has a high scale coffee spot to call their own.

But which of these coffee shops serve the best cup? Here are some of my favorites.

I would be remiss to create a list of my favorite coffee spots and not mention the coffee at Abraco. This is serious stuff. You can get a slow drip coffee here, a process in which the beans are funneled through a cone and, well, drips slowly into your cup. They also have some of the best pastries in town.

One of my favorites is La Colombe Torrefaction. This coffee shop is originally based out of Philly, and I am glad they decided to expand. There are few iced coffees I would rather have than this one on a hot summer day.

Located on the border of the Lower East Side and East Village is Bluebird Coffee Shop. Just less than a year ago, this place was home to the short lived Simon Sips, which just did not have the magic that Bluebird has. If you are traveling to New York anytime soon and happen to find yourself touring the Lower East Side, make a stop at Bluebird.

No list of coffee shops in New York would be complete without me mentioning 9th Street Espresso. There has long been a debate about which coffee shop is better, 9th Street Espresso or Abraco? While I prefer Abraco, both options are two of the best that can be had.

Down in TriBeCa is the wildly popular RBC Coffee Shop. This place was number one on my list of coffee shops to try, and I was finally able to knock it off the list last weekend.

Once winter comes around, I will probably have to make another list, as my taste changes when I have hot cups of coffee.
