Great for reading or working. Strong wifi, great beverage options, and friendly staff. The downstairs area and patio are great. the vibe mimics a library with good jams, food, and productive energy
I really wish that they would not stack all of their pastries and desserts on top of one another. I'm allergic to nuts, and all of the donuts & muffins are always touching ones that have tons of nuts!
It is really nice to have fun coffee shops around neighborhood. It has atmosphere most likely Brooklynish! It is rare thing in Upper East Side, indeed.
Iced coffee and all of their sandwiches. Great place to work, study or relax with friends. Internet use is free with $10 purchase. Well worth it for the space and vibe.
A great place to work (or have a meeting.) Free wifi, a downstairs filled with tables and an outdoor space, PLUS: doughnuts from Dough! I love it here.
From Pure Wow: "Gingerbread Mocha Closer to Christmas, Café Jax on the Upper East Side will whip up seasonal lattes (like this classic) using Hudson Valley dairy products."
Great cafe to do some work. Coffee is decent with a nice selection of pastries. Wifi can be spotty. Plenty of seating. There's a bathroom for customers! Close to 86th street station.
Great espresso, sourced from Stumptown. Solid pastry selection, both sweet and savory. Cozy space (exposed brick), with half-a-dozen small tables to relax at. Perfect location, on our quiet block.
Their coffee is good and there is a hidden sitting area downstairs. Would be perfect if they could decorate it a little bit better to make it more cozy.
Chill environment for study or work. Downstairs has many different seating options. Drinks & food are a bit pricey, but you're gonna be plugging in and using wifi anyway. Earn your keep!
They pull good shots of Stumptown Hairbender but iced coffee should be avoided. A huge, beautiful downstairs area, garden included, provides lots of extra space. A welcome addition to the nabe. (5/14)
Lovely coffee & a calming ambience. Perfect for working or just having a plesant private conversation. They have a patio, its nice to sit out sometimes. Just walk down.
If you're trying to get some work done in a pretty nice environment, go here but get there early. I was there on Thursday during the day and it was pretty crowded downstairs at 11am.
Have to say - coffee hasn’t been great at all lately - skip the coffee & get one of their teas. Ambiance, music & spaciousness still wins amongst surroundings but for coffee, go to Ateaz/Variety
Good coffee and dirty chai latte and a small but decent pastry selection. Gorgeous venue: high ceilings, vintage-feeling furniture and exposed brick walls. Love this place!
Although you must purchase something to use the wifi, something people on Yelp seem to have a problem with, there's a large, attractive downstairs space, pretty garden, plugs, good espresso.
Good coffee and chai. Free wifi with a purchase. More seating (comfy couches) and outdoor patio downstairs. Make sure to head down and check out the Chinese antiques!
Scones are meh, coffees are meh, but I keep coming back because the service is good and they have outdoor seating. It's a great place to study and beats the hell out of Starbucks for that reason.
Bring an Apple device, order iced coffee, & wear a tank top. For how much they charge per cup of joe you'd think they would turn on the air but they keep it a sauna downstairs like a form of torture.
Great basement, a huge, eclectic space for working (with wifi) or hanging out. Still, I find that everytime I come here, I'm disappointed by something, whether it's subpar food or poor communication.
Upstairs is nice: quaint, but typical small coffee shop feel. Downstairs tho? Loads of uncomfortable seating with one pair of leather lazyboy chairs that people fight over like gladiators. Bring sword
