Midtown Manhattan Coffee Reviews! Part 1
Since I last posted in August, my professional life has changed dramatically. I am no longer a full-time day school teacher. I now work half-time as an office manager in Midtown Manhattan, as well as part-time as a DSP (direct service provider) for kids on the autism spectrum (doing CommHab work, if you know the jargon) and part-time as a freelance editor of halakhic writings. It's a lot! Coffee helps me get through it all, or at least most of it!
Thus, my current life goal: find the best-tasting cup of coffee, at the best price, between Penn Station and W. 28th and Broadway
Some of the prices may include tax and others may not. I'm not sure I was consistent in my pre-coffee-consumption morning haze.

Stumptown (W. 29th St. between Broadway and 5th Ave.) ☕️☕️☕️
- price: $3 for a small (8 oz.) drip coffee; delicious; accept cash or credit; have half-and-half
- pros: tastes delicious; has half-and-half; close to the office
- cons: pricey
- price: $3.27 for a large (12 oz.) drip coffee
- summary: delicious; accept credit only (cash-free establishment); NO half-and-half (whole, skim, oat, and soy milk only)
- pros: delicious; have a “get your tenth cup free” deal; looks like you could sit and work there
- cons: no half-and-half; I don’t like supporting cash-free establishments because they discriminate against poor people; pricey
- price: $3.00 for a small (12 oz.!) drip coffee; $3.75 for a small (12 oz.) iced cold brew coffee
- summary: delicious; has half-and-half; very nice sip top lid; have a buy ten get one free card
- pros: tastes delicious; looks like you could sit and work there
- cons: pricey; not on the path that’s quickest from Penn Station to 28th and Broadway
- price: $1.79 for a small coffee (12 oz.), but I got a deal and paid only $1.09
- summary: I selected the bold/dark roast option, but it tasted like brown water! Also, they had whole milk, skim milk, and a bunch of those flavored coffee creamer things that taste like chemicals.
- pro: cheap
- cons: tastes like brown water; no half-and-half
Labels: coffee, economics, life, New York
