The best coffee shops in SoHo.

Every one from my own visits, updated September 2026. 14 places.

SoHo in New York City is known for its charming cast-iron buildings and cobblestone streets. It’s also home to some really cute coffee shops that are worth checking out. After spending a lot of time in the neighborhood, I’ve put together a list of what I believe are the best coffee in SoHo.

Whenever my friends visit the city and stay in SoHo, this the exact list I share with them. So whether you’re looking to focus on some work or catch up with a friend, there’s a SoHo cafe for you.
