  • From my guide, updated September 2026.

Gasoline Alley Coffee is technically in NoHo, but it’s so good and so close to SoHo that it deserves a spot on our list of the it. This bright and fast-paced cafe churns out some of the best coffee in the neighborhood. Gasoline Alley is on the smaller side, but both ends of the shop open up and offer ample seating outside, so finding a spot to rest your feet won’t be a problem. The menu is simple and straight to the point; I highly recommend the iced Americano and pair it with a flakey croissant.

My adviceRight next door to Gasoline Alley Coffee is Funny Face Bakery, mentioned on our list of 15 Seductive Cookies in New York City Are (Easily) Worth the Calories. Swing by and try the s’mores cookie!
