    Great little coffee shop that serves delicious drip. I was on the hunt for a new coffee place to try and came across Gasoline Alley coffee which like the name suggests, is situated between two streets and has a cool walkthrough layout. The staff here were friendly and the line moved quickly. Location is great too as it’s right off the subway stop so super convenient. Overall great coffee place to add to my rotation of morning drip runs.

    Latte is great. The milk is fixed well with the shots. Pastry is also good. Late afternoon also have pastry $1 deal. Good location. The store is tiny but cute. It has big windows seats. It’s nice to seat and enjoy the breeze. Friendly staff and nice decoration.

    This was my first time at this location of Gasoline Alley Coffee, and it shall not be my last. I was in the area, and wanted to have a cup of coffee, and spend time with one of my journals. There was no indoor seating available, but this was a nice, mildly warm sunny day on a Saturday, in the Lower East Side, after 3:30PM, so I was not surprised there was no indoor seating available. The coffee was very strong, the apple pastry was lovely and delicious. The staff was super professional and the person who took my order was very outgoing and friendly. I did not see a bathroom, but was not looking for one, so it is OK. Being Cuban, I can fully appreciate a strong cup of coffee, and look forward to returning, when I AM back in that area.

    Excellent decaf mocha, and great drip coffee with milk. Top class. A few bar seats inside, some benches outside. There’s a restroom 300 ft away at the REI. East entrance is accessible.

    Enjoyed a perfect iced latte made by Mike and served by Andrea. Warm, friendly service in a flatiron format. A must visit if you're in Bowery.

    Super cute and convenient little coffee nook. Love the breezeway alley vibe and bicycle hanging. Location is perfect. A few spots indoors and outdoors to sit and stay a little bit. Coffee is great.

    Love this place. One of the best espresso in SoHo. They have really mean coffee and some treats. All of their workers are extremely friendly and the line moves really quickly. Doesn't have a huge menu of fancy coffee drinks, but everything they do have is delicious.

    Great coffee shop! I got the cappuccino and bear cookie and both were delicious. Not a ton of seating but most people seemed to be in and out so i still got a spot. Workers were very friendly!

    The gluten free/vegan tahini chocolate chip cookie is so delicious and has me coming back all the time.

  • 2/5 Justin F. 2 years ago on Google
    4 dollars for a tiny iced coffee. Only reason to ever get coffee here is if it is earlier than 10am on a Sunday. Better and cheaper coffee is all around.

    Awesome coffee place. It’s a grab n go place, however there are several benches outside if you want to sit. Its a really cool place with great coffee and also $1 pastries. Tried cortado for the first time and it was really good

    This was a cute find for an quick afternoon pick me up. A good cup of cappuccino with a great view to people watch was all I needed.

    Great coffee! Being from Melbourne, Australia I have high coffee standards. Loved the soy at Gasoline Alley! It reminded me of coffee back home. Thank you! 😊

  • 5/5 Lana 7 months ago on Google • 8 reviews
    Lovely ambience. Got a latte here with a chocolate chip cookie a while ago. You can tell the coffee was prepared nicely as the aroma and espresso taste was strong. The cookie was delicious. Especially welcoming for a cold day!

  • 5/5 Gary C. 1 year ago on Google
    This cafe is such a cute and chill spot to escape the city's craziness! Their coffee is excellent, and they have delicious pastries. The chocolate gluten-free, vegan tahini cookie was out of this world.

    I love the open window concept and the pipe in music was eclectic. They’ve provided benches outside for more seating since there were only 6 seating capacity indoors. If you want to work on your tan, stick with the benches on Lafayette street or sit along Mulberry street to get a break from the sun. I liked my oat cappuccino, but the apple feuilletee wasn’t favorable. The flavor was balanced but the puff pastry was already getting soggy at the bottom while the sides had become chewy; perhaps due to my late afternoon order. I’ll try the pastries in the morning on my next visit. Overall, it’s a great spot providing some respite from all the walking.

    A unique spot in Nolita to pick up your coffee for the day. The open doors to either side with some bar seating and benches outside expand the small space comfortably to stay awhile too. Our oat milk latte were spot on.

  • 5/5 John A. 1 year ago on Google
    Great Australian quality coffee!!! As a visitor to NY, it's always good to know the good spots for coffee and this is definitely one of them!! I ordered an iced oat latte, was ready in 1 min and tasted amazing!! Would definitely recommend!!

  • 5/5 Jeremy L. 2 years ago on Google
    Busy in the morning - word must be out. Delicious espresso taste comes thru in my well crafted macchiato. Well done!

  • 3/5 Eric B. 2 years ago on Google
    Fancy-looking place, but the espresso wasn't fantastic and the milk was slightly over-steamed. Not really memorable.

  • 5/5 Kay O. 3 years ago on Google
    I always get a latte here, the balance between the coffee and milk is perfect, nice and strong, but not overwhelming. I recommend this coffee place above all others and usually only buy coffee here, unless I have absolutely no choice but to cheat on them! I have tried chocolate milk and other drinks, they all taste great, but what I enjoy most here is the staff, they are all wonderful people with great personalities! I always feel welcomed here and of course do my best to keep support the business. Great job from staff and great coffee overall!

  • 5/5 Paula A. 2 years ago on Google
    The best cappuccino I’ve had. I got transported to Europe through my taste palette. I think of this coffee every day

  • 4/5 Diana H. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent quality coffee. There are a couple seats inside at the window sill, but multiple nice benches out front (which with the nice weather and covid precautions is better anyways).

  • 4/5 Emily K. 2 years ago on Google
    Cool place to get coffee and small selection of pastries and bagels. Coffee and everything bagel (toasted) were both hot and delicious. Limited seating inside, but several benches outside. They are fast too, good experience.
