Probably the best coffee we have had in the city. So happy we discovered this place after brunch at the Smith’s. I found it on google maps. I like the bunker style shop. Simple but aesthetically pleasing. The best thing about this shop is the barista and the coffee he made. I asked for a recommendation, and was asked about my preferences. Finally decided on the rosemary latte and it was awesome 👏 I enjoyed talking to the barista about flat whites and the technicalities of coffee. So sad we weren’t able to come back for another cuppa! And I forgot his name! But he is awesome!

Was happy to discover this compact, hip coffee shop just two blocks away from my hotel (the Moxy Chelsea). Was even happier to find out they’re one of few places in town already serving CBD-infused coffee. Had the cold brew and it didn’t disappoint - there was a slight kick to it, but the flavor overall was balanced.

My first time back since before the pandemic and the coffee is still amazing, the baristas are still kind and genuine people, and it's still a great experience. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good cup of coffee with great customer service.

Ok, if you are a person who loves hot sauce, puts tabasco and sriracha on everything you must must must try the spicy boy coffee. It was so good. Been wishing for it everyday since. This place doubles as a bar in the back, I look forward to trying that next.

Good drip coffee and nice ambiance.

Great small coffee shop with friendly staff. There is a small set of stairs to go down to get access into the shop. Coffee was delightful and as a bonus I was able to use my mug! This was right down the street from the Chelsea flea market so location was convenient as well.

I spoke with the barista here in the middle of a hot summer day. He mentioned that at night the place transformed into a bar/event space in the back, but the place itself is already cool imo. He makes all his own syrups for the coffee shop, and he's always trying to make something new for each season that isn't regular at most coffee shops.

Super kind barista with some very unique yet delicious syrup combos. Will definitely be back for that fig matcha and the spicy hot honey latte!

Loved this place for coffee. Best we had in NYC. Batista was super nice, friendly and helpful, took time with everyone whether regulars or tourists like us! Coffee was on point, great flavour and perfect drinking temperature. Very much worth exploring the flavours too though - we had the rosemary oat, honey oat and vanilla fig lattes over a couple of days and they were all phenomenal. If you’re in the city near here, definitely check it out. If you’re not near here, get near here.

Great coffee shop for enthusiasts! The Spicy Boy is a very cool

Undrinkable. Skip this place - the coffee was burnt, the milk consistency terrible and prices as expensive as a fantastic cup of coffee at countless great cafes in the area/city.

I ordered a chocolate banana latte. It was really good. The barista makes his syrup and flavor base from scratch, which isn’t done in a lot of cafes. I will definitely be back to try their seasonal flavors.

Great little spot to quickly grab a cup of coffee or latte. Best within a few blocks radius. Cookies are fresh and almond croissants are full of almond paste! The only drawback is that there are no seats to rest and enjoy the coffee.

Amazing coffee and super kind people! Would definitely recommend this place!

This coffee shop was so cute and the coffee was fantastic. We both got a spicy boy... One hot, one cold and were extremely happy with them. Some of the best spiced coffee I've ever had. Not so sure what's going on with the speakeasy in the back but it seems unnecessary to route people through a beautiful coffee shop when they're already intoxicated and leaving more so. It appeared to me that some interior decor and maybe some equipment had been vandalized or stolen by these late night customers . This lovely coffee shop and the baristas who work there deserve better than this.

A great shop with extremely friendly baristas. On a coffee standpoint they always have a great selection and very unique drinks you don’t usually hear about in NYC.

Happened upon this gem of a coffee shop by chance, while visiting NYC for a week. The coffee is excellent - we tried Americano’s and oat milk lattes, all great. The baristas were really welcoming, helpful and full of good vibes. The ambience is clean & modern. All these things kept us coming back daily.

Nice atmosphere, friendly barista and their cardamom latte was amazing!

Awesome little coffee spot, Latte's were perfect. Very small space though, don't expect to stay to hangout. Come to grab the best coffee quick.

Stopped by and got the cold brew with cherry syrup. Omg game changer. Literally no one is offering cherry syrup and I believe Patent’s housemade. The cold brew was so divine with it. Jonathan was my barista and was warm and inviting. Always loved coming here in the past. I’m happy I rediscovered it again.

Love this coffee! Small place with good vibes.. always have a nice chat with the barista

got the dark forest latte with oat milk and I feel like I hit the hammer on the nail finding this lil coffee shop ~ only 3 stools inside and bench seating outside

Hi, is Patent Coffee still running? I’ve tried to visit a few times and it looks shut down. It’s so disappointing because it was my favorite cafe in the city. They had the best coffee and cookies. I reached out to their email then got an automatic response that it doesn’t exist anymore. I also tried calling and no one answered. I’m confused why google still states their open and why they still have a website running? Can I please get some answers on what the case is?

Best place in the city for unique flavored coffee drinks and loved talking to the guy (John?) who designs them. Shop and baristas are really chill too.

Super chill baristas, great coffee with homemade syrups, and a quaint little vibe. What more could you ask for!

Amazing coffee and super friendly staff. Love the spice boy!

barista seems to decide who gets served based on their mood. stood in line w one person in fromt of me. another customer walks in 5 min later and barista ignores me. Fyi, bring CC. no "tap" available. I was ready w cash. Starbucks has better service.

Super nice barista! And delicious coffee

Honestly the cafe is much much better than the bar here. Really good coffee and a rotating selection of beans. The staff really know what they're talking about. They let me taste a variety of brews to figure out which one I'd like best and only charged me for one. Super nice interactive coffee experience, will be frequenting this place. Really wish I took photos 😔

A just normal café where I would probably not return (mostly due to the dull and not friendly guy who attended us). I have been at the Patent Pending a couple of times, and I like it, so I thought I could give Patent Coffee a try. Probably would not repeat again.

Really tasty coffee with unique flavors. The guy working there was really friendly and helpful, guiding us through the different signature drinks and flavors they have. One of my favorite coffee shops for sure. Pro Tip: there are additional flavors on the back of the list of flavors on the counter. I got an iced cardamom latte and it was excellent.

Great staff that is very friendly and helpful. Worth going out of your way to get coffee here! Def put it on your list!!
