MUD is one of the best coffee shops in the East Village if you’re looking to linger for a bit. The service is casual and relaxed, so you won’t feet rushed. There’s a large outdoor garden (heated in winter) great for parking yourself for a few hours while catching up with friends or getting some work done.
As for the coffee? Satisfyingly smooth, every time. I opt for the drip coffee at this location, although the espresso drinks are excellent as well. If you’re feeling peckish, check out the all-day brunch menu for a handful of tantalizing options.
A place this good shouldn’t be this easy to miss.
Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
