Irving Farm Roasters

Upper East Side


This pioneering New York artisanal coffeehouse serves full-bodied espressos and single-origin pour-overs, along with a small yet tasty cafe menu. This is the largest of its 10 Manhattan locations, with a roomy seating area at the back. Its policy is 'no wi-fi' – bring a book.
