Blue Bottle Cafe, 450 West 15th Street

Named after a 17th century European coffee house, the Blue Bottle Café maintains its traditional footing when it comes to coffee. These days, they have expanded into a network of roasters, cafés, carts and kiosks. Each location still roasts in vintage machines and uses eco-friendly materials, serving the brew within 48 hours of roasting. Set up on two floors of the Milk Building’s former loading dock, the first floor offers no-nonsense coffee – simply espresso, macchiatos, cappuccino, lattes, and mochas, and tea and Blue Bottle brands. Watch the siphon coffee makers and Nel flannel filters prep your drinks while nibbling on a toasted Brioche roll from Amy’s Bakery. With a flair for the old-fashioned, an eye for organic, and the passion needed to provide unadulterated coffee experiences to customers, The Blue Bottle stands out as a true blue haven for caffeine aficionados.
