Decisions, decisions.

With three Joe locations, which one to visit?

Each one offering a unique and truly enjoyable experience.

The tucked-away neighborhood-y café in the West Village packed with locals.

The always buzzing and popping East Village/NYU loft location.

And the chic espresso bar in the Alessi store down in SoHo.

Plus, the espresso at each is top class.

Joe has you covered for one of the best espressos in NYC, and probably a café mood to match what you’re up to for the day. Just take a look at the videos for a look at all 3.

You have your choice. With Joe you can not go wrong.

Too old and too young.

That was me and my son yesterday at Think Coffee in the heart of NYU near Washington Square.

And I am only 31 years old (for whatever that means). But aside from someone’s parent who was visiting their daughter, I was by at least a US presidential term the oldest person in there. Easy. No one in that café saw any of the original Star Wars trilogy in the theater during its initial run. MTV was already an institution by the time they were born.

Ok, the moment of shock is over.

Think Coffee is a damn cool place, do not get me wrong.

And it is another café well designed, perfectly fitting its location. It is much larger than I expected. Seems like a great place to study, or to chat in order to avoid studying. Lots of desks and lighting for laptops. Mezzanine seating. Even an espresso bar. Posting board for tutors and acting lessons.

Oh yeah, they also serve up a good espresso. Fair Trade coffee.

Plus, they donate 25% of their profits to local charities. Awesome. That’s the way a business should be run.
