It's on 3 of my lists. Each entry below is what I wrote about it there, with my verdict on that list, the fullest first.

Worth it

In 2016, Ryan Butler introduced one of the most charming cafes in NYC. With a background as a chef, Butler crafted a menu that perfectly complements the delicious coffee sourced from Intelligentsia coffee roasters. Whether you drop by early in the morning or for a midday treat, Butler has the ideal hot (or iced) cup of joe waiting for you.

The sleek and beautifully designed interiors contribute to making it one of the most adorable cafes in NYC. Their SoHo location is consistently filled with the buzz of friends engaged in conversation or folks diligently clicking away on their laptops. With ample seating in a bright and airy space, it’s the perfect spot to hunker down with a book while enjoying one of the cutest coffee shops in New York City.

Worth it

Butler’s well-put together breakfast and lunch menus are a perfect companion to the delicious coffee drinks on offer (made using Intelligentsia coffee). The modern SoHo cafe gets flooded with natural light, you can easily spend the entire day at this popular working cafe in NYC and be content. Just make sure your laptop is fully charged because outlets are not available.

It’s got that perfect balance of lively without being loud, which is harder to find in this city than you’d think. My advice. Ask about their daily specials. This one of those places I find myself recommending over and over, and everyone always thanks me afterward.
