Love this UES gem. I’ve tried to stop by a few times over the past week but it appears to be closed. Wondering if they’re closed for vacation because my brain rejects that they could be closed for good *sigh*.

Cozy cafe with really great coffee, pastries, and sandwiches. Ambiance is upbeat — a curated playlist plays on — people use the space to work, lots of laptops in the space.Free WiFi. Bathrooms available. Limited outlets for charging so come with a full battery if you plan on getting work done.

The decoration and atmosphere of this cafe are outstanding. There are lots of different tables and seatings for your work, read, or simple drink. I wish they were a bit less strict on the wifi policy though.

Such a fun place and it’s very social distanced! Me and my friends ordered s’mores and it was so much fun!

Yesterday, my boyfriend and I went to this coffee shop to catch up sometime, and we just love the taste of their coffee. It was freshly brewed. The barista was so energetic and know everything that hes doing. Also, the place was so relaxing and quiet. We will surely recommend this coffee shop to everyone.

No longer a coffee shop with comfy seating. Looks like a good bar, and still has the smores but less of a lounging vibe.

Loved this place such fun decor..we got the chinoiserie sofa and had a fabulous happy hour with $4 wine also serves espresso martinis!

I love DTUT (downtown, uptown), drinks are pretty cheap compared to other places in the area and I like the slightly eclectic feel of the mix-matched couches, industrial lighting and bar stools. Also they have smores platters where you can toast your own marshmallows! Amazing.The rugged vintage furnitures and the bricked wall certainly give a different ambiance to the upper east. A nice place to hang out for a coffee or tea. After a certain time, they increase the volume of the music, but when requested the volume went low. The baristas were super friendly.

Funky coffee shop / bar with great decor, plenty of (friendly) attitude from behind the bar. My only wish is for better beer selection.

I used to go there with my friend. We used to work or talk. Both are convenient. She was living right on the corner. It’s a real typical coffee for real New Yorkers .

Review №16

Awesome cafe and space! I love venues that change with the hours, and this shifts from spacious cafe for working and relaxing to cool, low-key bar at night. Great selection of teas and really friendly staff. I especially like sitting at the “bar” during the day as you can read a book and still interact with others.

I judge places by (a) can I use my own travel cup, (b) are they knitter friendly, (c) how good is the service? At least at place like this cause the food is pre-made. As you can see by the 5 stars, a and b are a solid Yes, and c is very good. Definitely recommend this place for a coffee in the morning and beer/drinks in the evening. The food is good too!

Not a coffee shop anymore; Comfy seating is gone.

Review №22

This place is more for very casual conversations. It’s very dark and the music is loud so it’s hard to get work done. There’s decent spacing for seating - couple of big wooden tables and a small couch area, but the vibe wasn’t my favorite for a work/study environment. I would recommend coming here if you want a very casual date.

Review №26

It was my first time going here and honestly id dobit again. The atmosphere is cool. They were play early 2000s rock music which was awesome to hear. Your also able to order smores which was my favorite thing. They bring out the chocolate, marshmellows, gram crackers and the fire and you make the smores yourself. Its cool when you realize how much bonding you do over making smores lol it was an awesome experience

Review №27

Friendly and warm; unpretentious. There WAS a lovely bartendress named Lily who would play Donna Summer for me. Also, Brandon, another bartender, is an angel. This was my second favorite bar on the Upper East Side. Alas, we now need Aretha Franklin. The Thrill is Gone.

Review №28

Very average place. Food is okay, but better options exist nearby. Beer options have a good spread amongst different style and locales, but dont hard-to-find or incredible beer offerings here. Seems like it would be too loud/distracting to try and get work done here.

Review №34

They had a crowd (without six feet social distancing I know I hear cops are making a big deal) with a table today at the door of their bar serving wine and coffee today. Will their menu is on the door. They dont tell you what you can order though. I asked a question about changing since its weird to see a bar serving chai. Instead of answering he says you cant order chai. Thats why your have it. Got it. PS crowd [not line] was blocking the sidewalk. Without a care. In the world

Review №35

Cool and cozy coffee shop. Went on a Sunday and they turned the WiFi off at 4 though, then they made the lights super dim. You could tell a lot of people were trying to get work done too and were frustrated. More of a social spot than one to get work done at.

Review №36

When I first came into DTUT I knew Im going to like it. I went there on Friday night and first thing I liked is the fact it doesnt look like a bar at all. Vibe here is a mixture of a coffee shop, a bier garden (with lack of craft beers selection at 4 only, but bottled and caned beer selection is great) and a bar. It actually is a coffee/bakery spot during the day and a bar at night. Its spacious and has bunch of community tables, so if youre looking for a place to go with a group, this is a great spot. Its also laid back and funky. There is somewhat isolated lounge area with couches and a projector that screens videos without sound. Interior is great with high ceilings and a lot of light bulbs hanging down on random places on a piece of wire, Brooklyn loft style. Whole vibe is pretty much like youre visiting a friend who has a lot of cool items and books on his shelf. Staff is just great. Professionally friendly just to a perfect amount. Its not opened late like other bars, so on a weekend this might be that perfect spot for warming up.

Review №41

It’s a pretty chill place in a kind of stuffy neighborhood... I appreciate the relaxed vibe and decent happy hour.However, I wish the bartenders were a bit better at explaining things. I came here for the $4 wine, passed a few other places that had slightly better happy hours. Asked for a wine, the guy said “red or white”, and I said white. (Happy hour is house red/white). Then he gave me three white options, I chose one. Comes back with it, and says $8. Apparently, only one of the white options was on happy hour. I guess you have to ask.So, if you come here for happy hour... it’s a decent one. But be sure to double check. I figured he would have said “our Chardonnay is on happy hour, he others are $8”. Oops.

Review №44

Its a cozy casual bar/cafe. In the day its a cafe with people hanging out by the couch area. Its crowd is much better than the Brooklyn cafe crowd Ive encountered. So glad its more the Manhattan crowd. At night it turns into a casual bar filled with locals. Drinks are decent. They serve drinks all day. Will definitely come back.

Great vibes! Cappuccino could have been better but honestly this is such a great place to talk and feel like youre out even if youre just having coffee. It has a lot of seating options and the baristas are very nice. Ill definitely be back! Hopefully by then they add a couple tables outside in the front while the weather is nice :)

Really cool spot! However, if you’re looking for a quiet place to work, you should probably not attend this place after 6pm. If you are, instead, looking for a place to socialize over a distinguished selection of quality drinks—than you ought to come here.

Cool concept with coffee and cocktails. Fun spot to get some work done or meet up with a friend. Sometimes gets very crowded so it’s best to use as a coffee shop to get work done in by day and bar to socialize in by night.

Review №54

All around good place, but a few things were off the night I went there (they did not have 2 of the 5 bottles of red (my first and second choices), nor did they have any chocolate fondue. The atmosphere is intimate and dim, though despite the comforting look theyre going for, the furniture itself isnt all that comfortable. The prices are moderate, especially by the bottle.

Cafe by day, bar/cafe by night.Great place to chill out and get some work done or enjoy the dimly lit atmosphere on any given night. There are couches in the back that make a good conversation space or place for a date, tables up front where people have laptops out doing work, bartenders are chill peeps and the entire place is nice and mellow.

Review №67

Why have a coffee shop without WIFI? They already have Starbucks coffee prices so it’d be strange to not be able to afford internet service. Obviously, management doesn’t know how to run an efficient business. Definitely not coming back and I don’t recommend on this place if you want to be productive in any sort of way.

Very chill spot. The staff are friendly and easy going. I was there between 11-2PM on a Wednesday to do work and it quickly filled up with other coffee shop enthusiast also working off their laptops. They had three couches with two coffee tables to make a living room space and a few rows of high tables with high chairs. I took a couch but the high tables looked just as comfortable, not to mention the bar which also had a few people on their laptops!

One of my favorite coffee shop/bars in the city. DTUT serves some awesome spiked hot drinks, beer, wine and cool fondue/smores for two - great date spot! They also host a challenging but fun trivia every Monday night. Highly recommend you check DTUT out if you find yourself on the UES!

Review №81

DTUT is one of those places that are cool without being pretentious. Its a great place to hang out and do work during the day, but beware the WiFi is turned off on weekends and after 5pm on weekdays. Thats when DTUT becomes more of a bar, still with a laid back vibe and mostly young crowd. Coffee products here are just ok, and the food selection is scarce. I liked the alcoholic drinks Ive had. They have a few board games and Jenga. I do wish the quality of the service was a little more consistent, but all in all its a neighborhood favorite of mine.

This place is right near my apartment and I almost don’t want to leave a review because it’s such a gem! The baristas/bartenders are so friendly, prices are reasonable, and you can’t beat the all-day happy hour or s’mores platters. An excellent spot to work, study, chill or take a date to.

Perfect place on the upper east side to be creative and stay tethered to your tech.

Review №96

My favorite upper east side coffee shop! An organic, rustic little place with Irving Farm coffee and a wide variety of wine, beer and pastries. Its often difficult to find gems like this in one of Manhattans poshest districts. DTUT is one-of-a-kind, with taxidermy on the walls, individualized mugs, friendly staff, folky music, family style tables, couches, and an open feel that makes for the perfect city escape. Ideal for reading, writing, working, or catching up with a friend. They also host events and private parties. Cant recommend this place enough!

Im so glad that DTUT has returned to the UES and has really re-established itself. Years ago, my friends and I referred to DTUT as the ultimate first date spot -- while I dont need it for this purpose anymore, it still holds true. The environment is fantastic though - great music, coffee, food and drink. The atmosphere changes as the day progresses - fun hang-out during the day, but still a good place to get some work done if you want to get out of the house. At night - darker, cooler, more intimate -- hang out with some friends or make some new ones!
