Coffee Project New York.

Worth it, says Antonina. The latte is delicious, to be sure, but it’s the complete experience that makes this such a fun mid-day stop while exploring the neighborhood.

Worth it
  • Address239 E 5th St New York, NY
  • From my guide, updated September 2026.

A quaint cafe with limited seating, I’d bill this as one of the more interesting coffee shops in the East Village because of one clever menu addition, the deconstructed latte. Served as a tasting flight, the deconstructed latte is presented as three drinks, espresso, milk and the final product (latte).

The latte is delicious, to be sure, but it’s the complete experience that makes this such a fun mid-day stop while exploring the neighborhood. Plus, the heavy aroma of perfectly-roasted beans is intoxicating at this charming East Village cafe, I can’t recommend it enough!
