    I went to get Sey Coffee. The cafe is tucked under the building but you will not miss it thanks to the clear cafe sign. The barista was friendly and helpful. He told me about the different flavors they had that day and recommended a few options based on my brewing type. I also got a flat white with oat milk. A nice hidden gem in my neighborhood :))

    Amazing coffee shop that roasts their own beans. The service is always very friendly and they pay attention to detail! I got an almond milk latte which was great and their chai was also tasty, more on the spiced side. I will certainly be back.

    Hidden bellow the streets of New York, St Kilda has some KILLER coffee. I got the dirty chai and my dad got a double shot latte. The coffee they’re using is fresh and superb. More than anything else however, the atmosphere is so fun. Walking down the steps out of the city and into this cafe is, simply put: magical.

    I really really liked this place. Hip clean sub-level cafe with great indie music and airy space. I got a latte and Brazil drip coffee. The coffee flavor in both had such a unique fruity floral flavor. So delicious and unique. I was tempted to buy some of that coffee they had on the shelf. Loved sitting here enjoying my beverage and Shazam'ing the playlist. Will be back.

    Such a sweet hidden gem near Times Square. I loved this hipster coffeeshop. I got oat milk latte and it was great. My friend tried their everything croissant and said it was very good.

    Great underground Australian Style cafe. Coffee is relatively good for American standards, staff are friendly, plenty of options of milk and handheld baked treats. Would definitely recommend a pit stop if you're in the area.

    It's a cute cafe on 44 street in the basement. It was nicely decorated for Halloween. Our barista was friendly. Unfortunately coffee didn't live up to expectations based on prior reviews. My latte was milky, bland and lacking in taste foam. They have no bathroom and little outside area.

    Great coffee shop. Very little room, but there’s a bench outside and some limited seating inside. Espresso is always delicious.

    A specialty coffee expert endorses this quaint little place. I recommend the V60 / Quemex if you want to discover the true taste profile of the coffees served here. I had a Sumatra and a Colombian. Both were top notch.

  • 4/5 Cory 2 months ago on Google • 50 reviews New
    Delicious specialty coffee, appreciate the two options on batch brew (one washed and one natural process). Will be coming often as it's near my office. Bought a bag of beans as well.

  • 5/5 Shannon 2 months ago on Google • 42 reviews New
    Really good tea and coffee options! And so so many baked goods with a surprisingly varied gluten free and vegan selection too! Plus the people here are so nice and friendly. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Pavel K. 4 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    Excellent business. The best coffee in NY at a great price. I had a washed Colubia prepared on a filter and it was really delicious.

    I stop by after watching moulin rouge musical and it was great choice :) overall coffee was great and Mocha was especially great. Place is little small but it was not crowded when we visited.

  • 5/5 Donald D. 5 months ago on Google
    Went to this coffee shop twice during my recent vacation in New York. The coffee was great ! i was not over roasted like Starbucks. Just had plain black Sumatra great flavor ! If your looking for a off the beaten path coffee shop not far from Times Square , give this place a try !

  • 5/5 Skip L. 8 months ago on Google
    Been a favorite stop when in NYC for work or play. Finally roasting their own beans, smooth and such flavor. Take true pride in what they do. Perfect for before work

  • 5/5 Evelyn M. 1 year ago on Google
    A gem for true coffee lovers. The flat white was so good I had to try the dip and buy beans before leaving. Both also exceptional. They carry a variety of craft roasters. I'll never drink coffee anywhere else in Midtown again.

  • 5/5 Ian M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great local coffee shop, with a few pastry snacks to tide you over. My latte was smooth and well made. Highly recommend for a quiet stop in the area.

  • 4/5 Debora Glaze B. 1 year ago on Google
    Not the most comfortable place but very stylish and New York… down below with some sweet art on the walls! Great coffee but very little of it to choose from. They got my very* easy order wrong but its ok, I politely asked for it right and it was corrected np. I would recommend grabbing a bag for home!

  • 5/5 John a. 2 years ago on Google
    Garden level shop below the street offering a bit of Melbourne in NYC. Melbourne, like NYC, is a serious coffee town, the beans here are nicely roasted and presented cleanly to enjoy the flavor. A number of trendy bakes, including vegan options. I tried the regular chocolate chip cookie over the vegan cookie bars on barista recommendation. Tasty chocolate in a lightly sweet cookie was a nice offset to the medium dark roast black coffee.

  • 5/5 Cecily L. 1 year ago on Google
    Great experience here on a cold morning! The woman behind the counter was very pleasant. Probably some of the best customer service I've had at a coffee shop since moving to the east coast. They had a small selection of pastries (no hot breakfast options), and the spicy palmier I tried was really yummy. They have decaf espresso (which is not always guaranteed). The espresso has more of the young/sour flavor profile, not dark and deeply roasted. Those flavors are not to my taste, but the rest of the experience makes up for that. It was a small, cozy, and comfortable place to sit for a few minutes before continuing my venture in the cold air.

  • 5/5 Bertram M. 1 year ago on Google
    A flat white of highest quality. Lighter roast (Honduras) that had a dry dark chocolate note with long balanced finish. Nice barista too! Didn’t try pastries but looked promising.

  • 5/5 Mary 1 year ago on Google
    A hidden gem below street level in the heart of the Time Square area. We walked by and decided to check it out. Lattes were very well prepared and cookies were amazing. A great little NYC coffee shop that you may miss if you're not paying attention.

  • 5/5 David K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great tasting, strong traditional Melbourne quality latte

  • 3/5 CHENISE 1 year ago on Google
    Not sure if New Yorkers know good coffee... Sorry! I'm from Toronto so I didn't think I'd agree with reviewers from Europe, but I guess Toronto has good coffee! I'm not sure how, but th is coffee is watery. Cute store, nice staff. Pastries might be good. Nice merch & logo.

  • 3/5 Peter B. 1 year ago on Google
    They know how to do a latte art but this is far from a good speciality coffee. The espresso had too much water and cappuccino foam was too hot. Maybe people on this area like it but if you are used to European style of speciality coffee you will be disappointed. We like that they have included spoon for foam

  • 5/5 Dan B. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good coffee. Stayed in the city for a few days and ended up coming here every morning for coffee. Also purchased some beans from El Salvador. They had a great variety to choose from. Would highly recommend

  • 5/5 lb ben j. 6 years ago on Google
    Went here twice while visiting NYC, So glad we found this awesome cafe. It is down a small staircase with only a sandwich board on the sidewalk to let you know it's there. The coffee was top notch and the Melbourne namesake made me smile also.

  • 4/5 its e. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a nice nook to go to for coffee but it is a little expensive. If you're looking for a place to go that doesn't add a bunch of stuff to coffee like creams and flavors this is a great and simple place for that

  • 5/5 Fabiana J. 2 years ago on Google
    Quality coffee with so much care taken in the selection of beans! Loved it! They sell beans from all over as well and even give you the best brew methods for each one. Really appreciated it. Favorite coffee in NYC during my visit.

  • 5/5 Swathi C. 2 years ago on Google
    Their everything croissant is delightful! It's well seasoned, a soft croissant with a layer of cream cheese inside. Great coffee, friendly barista, plenty of space and wifi. Perfect for a weekend work space.

  • 5/5 Sara S. 3 months ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    This was the single greatest coffee experience I ever have had in my life. The service was astonishing, the barista was a strapping lad, the coffee was to die for. I'd have sold a kidney on the spot as a means to purchase another one of their flat whites. I remember some bloke from New Zealand sitting there and commenting his confusion over what a true flat white consists of, but I'm glad he was corrected and found his new favorite coffee spot. St. Kilda's is the place to go!
