Located in New York’s Chelsea neighborhood, it is a place where laptops are banned, cell phone calls are infrequent, and the sound of people talking to each other over fine cups of coffee fills the air.”

NYC is buzzing with new cafes

“This spot recently garnered lots of media attention for its $12 brew (made from hand-picked beans grown in Ethiopia), but regulars oh and ah over the lovely lattes poured here, complete with foamy heart and leaf designs made in the milk. Coffee is brewed by the cup, and the beans are roasted at Grumpy’sGreenpoint location (there’s also a store in Park Slope). No laptops are allowed, so people actually talk in this cozy java joint.

We recommend: Have some variety with the Tasting Flight, a sampling of three coffees for $6 or, if you feel like a splurge, try the new $12 brew, which connoisseurs say is terrific.”
