Every time I go to the city, I have to stop by Tobys Coffee! Rich, authentic roasted coffee made by such talented baristas. Also, if you enjoy a little reading or shopping, there is both an adorable bookstore and clothing boutique in the shared space!

Though now closed, this was an amazing Toby’s Estate location! Will happily visit their other locations throughout NYC.Note: This location is now CLOSED.

Best Espresso Tonic. Cozy seating, though not a lot of seating. You can peruse some books while you sip your coffee. Very nice place, will be back.Edit: their seasonal drinks rotate. The espresso tonic is bomb. The mint julep is also super unique and absolutely delicious. And service is very kind.

Hands down the best coffee I had on my New York visit. Lovely shop with a book store at the back. We picked up a New York coffee table book to take home. Im glad we went inside.

Great coffee and dessert here and friendly staff.

A small cafe with delicious small cookies but mediocre coffee and cramped sitting arrangement.

I wanted to post a food pic but it looked so good i couldnt stop. ill return with my coworkers. it has a good interior. i see why this place has a lot of good reviews.

Normally I would have posted a pic but food looked so good I couldnt stop. Nothing but great experiences here. Prices are fair I would say.

Somewhat cramped and small with not enough seating space. Looks nice, but not ideal for sitting & catching up friends over coffee.

One of the best coffee shops in williamsburg, they also roast coffee in the shop which is a cool thing

ListenGive enjoyed this place because of its quaint appeal.

This place is seriously amazing. Connected to a pretty cool book store. Fast moving line for the espresso bar and the espresso is very good. I generally get the cold brew and it’s fantastic as well. Vegan pastries too. Highly recommend.

Very smooth latte, and interesting bookstore!

Fancy looking coffee shop tucked in the vicinity of flatiron building. I was craving hot chocolate after my lunch one day and decided to give this place a try. In terms of decor this is very cool and is connected to a book shop which is in the back.I was not at impressed with my $6 hot chocolate , it actually tasted more like a latte than a hot chocolate. Very disappointed.Giving them 2 stars because of the decor and helpful staff.

Variety of flavors available for the coffee connoisseur in you... I had a regular latte but did get to taste Brazilian as well as Colombian coffee they had.. The common consensus was that they did taste great.. The place is cozy... Had a good collection of books to buy.. And for the fashionista in you, a decent collection of women clothing..

This is one of the best coffee places in the area. Asides from having good coffee there is a beautiful space in the back which feels very homey and doubles as a strand bookstore. If you need a moment to relax from the big crowds around the flat iron district, this is the place to go.

Tasty coffee but very small location, oddly located within a clothing store. The Strand bookshop also seems to be operating a location within Tobys adding to the nesting doll feel. Brightly lit but impossible to find a seat and worst of all: no bathroom.

Toby’s located inside the entrance to a pretty cool and modern looking bookstore, is pretty modern looking itself. It wouldn’t be out of place in Paris. The line can get a bit long and the small place crowded, but it moves fairly quickly due to a good staff. The cold brew on tap is very good though a bit gritty later in the day. The coffee is very tasty though, and though the iced variety is pretty packed with ice to presumably take up space, it doesn’t get too watered down. It’s not the best coffee in the city, but it is definitely above average.

A nice setup they have here, the bookstore and coffee combo was an excellent placement! Word of caution for anyone looking to plug in and work: No wifi, no outlets, like... NO outlets period. Come to unwind with a book and/or socialize. Great coffee as well!

Tobys is my favorite coffee, hands down, so Im thrilled that they are now available all over Manhattan. The space is gorgeous but small, so dont plan coffee dates here. Its a great place to grab a cup to sip on as you wander along Fifth Avenue.

Great coffee, mediocre seating. I very much like the coffee here - especially the iced coffee. Its not reinventing the wheel and is a bit overpriced (as to be expected of coffee places of this ilk, like Irving Farm etc.), but nevertheless everything Ive had from there has been great. The physical space is very pretty (high ceilings, lots of light) and connects to a bookstore inside, which is nice. However if you want to sit with a friend and chat its a bit awkward - just has a row of bar stools.

Small place but coffee was GREAT

Although it can get crazy busy here, it is worth the visit for an excellent coffee beverage.Ive had cafe au lait, espresso, cappuccino and flats here. All with outstanding results. They also offer a variety of snacks and pastries.Wander into the back for lovely seating and books from Strand.

The seasonal espresso drinks are so good. The mint julep in the summer is actually crazy tasty no matter how weird you think it might be

Excellent coffee, small selection of delicious nibbles. Very tight, very busy. Fine if you are grab and go, maybe to head over to Broadway or the reclaimed street space at 23rd St. to sit outside. Dont plan to stay.

The prices are great for the location, and the attached book shop is a wonderful addition! No bathrooms though, so better for a quick cuppa and hanging out with some friends on the couches, rather than long computer sessions.

Outstanding coffee, I drank a Bonde Natural, Ethiopia and it has a delicious fruity flavor. In addition, they offered information about their providers of coffee. A great specialty coffee.

Yes, I bought a $7 cup of coffee. And it was freaking delicious. I mean, its sounds crazy, yes, but I couldnt believe I was loving every sip of it. Had two cookies too. Pistachio agave and a Downtown cookie, which tasted a tad on the ginger side. Again, I loved it. Glad I stopped in. Will be back for sure.

The pourover was excellently done and the barista was very helpful. They have strong coffee options! They also have a great selection of pastries, the space is very beautiful but small, and it looks like they are next to a bookstore.

Great coffee. Try the oat milk! Cute bookstore connected where you can sit and relax

GREAT coffe. Super cozy. For my surprise, it’s surround by a clothe store!

Got the Rwanda pour over and it was excellent. Baristas here do a great job. Have bought their coffee to take home as well and its been very good.

I first came across the Tobys in Brooklyn, where I discovered their Apple Betty which is super delicious - so I popped in to get another one here. However, I much prefer the Brooklyn branch as its way bigger - this one is cute, but teeny tiny with very limited seating. The staff were a bit colder and theres no wifi.

In a radius of 4 blocks (in all directions,) the most perfect place for coffee, and a comfortable chat, around!

One of my favorite coffee chains in NYC, especially the pistachio agave cookie (it usually makes my day!)

Really small coffee shop next to Club Monaco which makes a mean cup of joe. Friendly staff and pretty quick and making drinks. Good spot to grab a cup. Not too much seating unfortunately, just a few high chairs on the wall.

Why on earth do you charge high prices for your coffees, and ask your clientele to “go over to Nike to use their restroom.” Completely unacceptable when a customer is trying to enjoy their experience at your cafe. The most unprofessional comment I received was to “go to Starbuck’s to use their restroom.” As a customer of another coffee shop, I feel it is inappropriate to ask me to head to Starbuck’s.” The iced latte was average, and not even filled to the top. Overpriced and underwhelmed with this experience.

Small coffee shop with not where really to sit. So more of a takeaway place. The coffee is exceptional, one of the best coffees Ive had in New York and make a point of going and getting one every time Im in NY.

A small coffee shop in a great location. They really make a good latte and cup of coffee. Try these guys out.

Truly excellent coffee. It matches most of the coffeeshops here in Portland. Something most coffee joints in New York cannot claim.

Good, fast coffee. Fantastic cookies from Ovenly. Bookshop at the back. The only thing not to love is that it can get a touch crowded.

Coffee here was just ok. Came in trying to escape the heat and the doors were wide open. It was even hotter and more humid inside. Theres very limited seating and what little there is I found uncomfortable. The aroma from the attached womens clothing store made it so I could really only taste perfume. Poorly chosen combination for a coffee shop.

Cool place to get coffee

My go-to coffee shop. One of the best-tasting coffee in NYC. Browse books in the adjacent bookstore while you wait.

Good coffee and baked goods. Great soundtrack

Great coffee and nice bookstore in the back. Have to stop in at least once if you like books.

Wow, this is a dream of a coffee shop. Charmingly sized, amazing decor and perfect caffeinated results. Cold brew that will make your day!

Super cool place! Theve got a lot going on there, really hard to choose! Try.. anything!

Great place, you can go and sit in the couches of the bookstore at the end end enjoy your coffee with a book and flowers view.

I dont know why people continue to go to this place. I gave them a 2nd try and no more. The staff is obnoxious, they have the smallest, unclean, area for milk/sugar and if you even dare to ask for soy milk its portioned out for you. I asked for soy milk and I overheard one of the staff members behind the counter ask the guy if I had asked for soy - what the heck?! They dont make eye contact or smile - obviously not a fun place to work. BUT, they are happy to have the tip jar right in your face and the tip option when you pay with a credit card.

Great cold brew. So happy to have this in the area.

Great quality coffee with a relaxing space that has a good selection of books.

Weve been coming here every week for the last year, great afternoon coffee spot

Cold brew was OK, cant speak for the espresso. However Gotham is around the block, cheaper (by $1 for a 16oz cold brew), better coffee, and less crowded.

Consistently great coffee and espresso, with a variety of treats that rotates daily. The coffeeshop is small with little room for sitting and often gets crowded. Check out the adjoining mini Strand bookstore while youre waiting.

Good coffee, but their Brooklyn location is probably better since there is was not much seating at this location.

Fantastic coffee. And parties by bosie and the donut plant are some of the best in the city.

The Cortado is well-balanced. Strong, bit not diluted. Aromatic.There is only a bar to sit, so its ideal if its takeaway. Otherwise, its a doozy.

Best coffee in the area and great pour overs if the place is not too busy.

Agree with everything Dave Hong says. 4.5 stars for the coffee - delicious Ethiopian pour over drunk straight is another option if you are tired of espresso drinks. But 3 stars for atmosphere--nowhere to sit, and all the charm of a chain retail store on 5th avenue. The Strands backdrop of books is really just decor IMHO. Staff were congenial and efficient (Saturday morning 10am queue was kept manageable). Better off getting take-away there and going to the park for some nice daylight.

Excellent milk work here. Lattes and cappuccinos always delicious.

Great coffee. A bit hard to order, small lobby area

Great cappuccino...lines can be long sometimes but they usually move fast

LOOOVE the Strand pop-up, decent espresso too.

Great coffee to go and some of the best pastries. Just dont expect to sit.

Really good coffee, they have more than one shop in NY.

The space looks nice but it is actaully small and cramped with poor flow for both the patronsband the baristas. Reminded me how much a mediocre barista can turn a decent espresso into something unpleasant. The cookie was good.

Tiny place, good La Marzocco coffe in a clothing store.

Good for take out. Not so much for sitting

Tobys is my favorite place for an espresso when Im out and about. Theirs is the coffee I grind at home. Theirs is the only coffee Ive sent to others as a gift.

Good coffee, but theres not a lot of seating and its quite cramped inside.

Great coffee, with a quirky seating arrangement in a clothes shop!

This place was weird af.But in a good way.It was like walking through one of those super beautiful, delicate blogs.Theres a Club Monaco, a coffee shop, a flower shop (the whole place smelled like fresh roses), a book store, all connected? Was a very cool place to meet up with an old friend.Minus 1 cause my capp was actually not amazing, lack of seating (perhaps they want you to walk around?), and both baristas were rude..like that hipster arrogant rude.. dude chill.

Great espresso pulled on a La Marzocco Linea 3-Group.

Solid coffee, pleasant and fast service, overall great vibe for coffee lovers

Very small coffee bar – nice little library, seating area at the back

One of my favorite cafes - definitely recommend the chai

Amazing and high quality coffee, very good selection of beans!

Lovely tucked away coffee shop with a tiny strand in the back.

Perfect way to jumpstart our first day in NY - flat whites are highly recommended!

No bathroom! Delicious coffee at a nice price, connected to a library too

More of a to-go place. Great coffee, but prefer the Brooklyn cafe.

Great consistent service with great coffee! Always the go to place for morning coffees or a coffee meeting while walking through Madison Square Park.

High quality coffee. Only negative is there is little space to stand or sit.

Without a doubt the worst espresso Ive ever had. Just a cup of cold, overwhelming bitterness without any real flavor.

A good stop while youre shopping in that area.

Very nice attentive staff and good coffee.

I visited New York lately and bought coffee from Tobys Coffee. The Flat White I had was excellent.

Jump up n down and sing the coffee song, Coffee coffee bo coffee fi fo fo coffee, cofffee!So, thats what its like when you get coffee here. It tastes good and makes you sing (i.e. wakes you up)

Cortado was a treat! Friendly folks at the register, committed batistas, love the custom Strada

Lovely coffee shop and great vegan selection of baked goods

Great location, espresso was pulled perfectly, and an amazing selection of baked goods

One of the best coffee joints in Chelsea.

Highly recommend! Love this coffee place

Crowded and its a pain to wait on line with the way its laid out.

Great relaxed atmosphere unusual for an NYC 5th Ave espresso bar!

Nowhere to sit (about 7 seats total), obnoxious hipster staff gave me nothing but attitude from start to finish. The cashier expected a tip when there isnt even any table service but because they are a specialty coffee shop. Isnt that why the prices are so high to begin with? Will never go back....after looking forward to a nice break from walking around in the cold, this was definitely not it.

Love the espresso. Strong coffee.

5 th Ave location is very good. Tight squeeze

Its the best coffee in all of nyc... they should just replace all the starbucks in town
