Where Joe Coffee appears on New York Dearest

It's on 1 of my list. Each entry below is what I wrote about it there, with my verdict on that list, the fullest first.

  • Address141 Waverly Place
  • From my guide, updated March 2026.

The West Village location (141 Waverly Place) is the one I go to most. Take the 1 to Christopher Street.

Joe Coffee is the New York coffee chain that actually deserves to be a chain. They’ve grown to multiple locations across the city and somehow maintained quality at every single one. Their latte is perfectly balanced. Their drip is always fresh. Their pastry selection is solid. It’s not the most exciting coffee shop on this list, but it might be the most reliable. When I’m in a new neighborhood and I see a Joe Coffee, I feel a wave of relief because I know exactly what I’m getting.

Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
