Seven Grams Coffee.

If the name of this Chelsea cafe looks familiar to you, it’s probably because you’ve seen it come up on every list of the best cookies in New York City. Popular for their chocolate chip cookie (which practically melt in your mouth), Seven Grams also happens to be one of the best coffee shops in Chelsea.

This Chelsea coffee shop is named Seven Grams because they believe it takes exactly 7 grams of premium coffee grounds to make. The perfect shot of espresso. The coffee is unfussy and does not need to be over complicated with different milks or flavorings. The premium espresso speaks for itself. It’s some of the smoothest coffee in Chelsea and the flavor really packs a punch.

Seven Grams Cafe is famous for serving warm gooey cookies and excellent espresso. The cafe’s name comes from the belief that a perfect shot of espresso requires exactly 7 grams of coffee grounds. While the Chelsea bakery is not exclusively gluten-free, Seven Grams stands out by offering options for dietary restrictions, including gluten-free and vegan goodies like cookies, scones, and granola bars.

Boasting a long list of accolades and awards centered around their baked goods, there’s no denying that Seven Grams Cafe offer some of the best chocolate chip cookies in New York City. The star of the show is the Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookie, which strikes a perfect balance between sweet. And salty (there’s a generous amount of chocolate chips and a sprinkle of sea salt on top).

Baked fresh daily, these cookies are known for their soft, chewy texture, making them a hit with those who come in for coffee but end up staying for the treats. Who can blame them!
