The Chipped Cup — 3610 Broadway

Yelp reviewer Miriam B loves studying here: "The vibe in this place is the main reason why I come. It's always nice and cozy and I love the decor. Today I tried this cute little almond flour and butter teddy and it was a perfect compliment to a coffee.The staff our always really friendly. This is my go to study place for sure."

Harlem Blues Cafe — 2144 Fifth Ave.

Mike K had high praise: "The coffee is excellent. The owner is cool. The Wifi isn't bad either. Everything is new and it has a nice community feel but if you want privacy you can find an area and do your thing."

The Monkey Cup — 1730 Amsterdam Ave.

Smiriti S said this place has great pastries to go with coffee: "Their coffee, vanilla latte and the special Monkey Cup hot chocolate are all delicious. We love their baked stuff (you've to make sure you get there early to be able to make a pick else it sells out real fast.) We've tried everything from their chocolate almond croissant to their tomato quiche, and mushroom quiche, and cheese Danish-and they've all tasted AMAZING."

Filtered — 1616 Amsterdam Ave.

Mikael S said the quality makes up for price: "Love the vibe of this place. It's one of my top choices for a dirty chai in the city--the spices are on point (I get it with almond milk). It's a little more pricey, but I go for quality and taste so it's worth it for me. Excited to try more! Had an almond croissant once and that was also good--nice and flaky."

Lenox Coffee — 60 W. 129th St.

Yelp reviewer Shaili K said: "Absolutely adore this coffee shop. I've been working in the area for about a year now and I'm kicking myself because I JUST discovered it! It's the perfect cozy little shop tucked away in an unexpected corner of Harlem."
