Marathon Coffee
2023 May 03
Pretty good option in the area for good drinks and efficient service. I particularly appreciate that they have a turmeric latte (and it's delicious). They offer an array of non-dairy milks, and have rotating seasonal special drinks on offer, many of which have been delicious. I don't know that I would rank their coffee as top notch, but for espresso based drinks with flavor, definitely good.
I haven't tried any of their food options, they always look a bit tired and not appetizing.
There is no seating inside or out, so strictly a to-go place, but the service is efficient and it's never been atrociously crowded when I've been there because they move the line pretty quick. Drink accuracy has always been 100%- I've never needed to have a drink re-made here!

Union Square Greenmarket

One of my favorite parts of being in this neighborhood (though I'd probably go out of my way to come even if this wasn't our neighborhood when in NY)- a year round market with veggies, cheese, meat/eggs, bread, plants, honey, flowers, and basically anything else you can think of? Multiple times per week?
Granted, you're probably not getting something that isn't in-season, so don't expect do to 100% of your shopping here year round, but the selection is incredible considering this is the northeast.
Quality is pretty uniformly great. The number of vendors varies by day and time of year.
This is always worth perusing, even if you're a tourist and not stocking your pantry!

Goods For The Study

Hands down one of my favorite stationery stores in any city.
As a lover of good paper, a sender of too many cards for every occasion, and hoarder of great pens and pencils, this place ticks every box. They have a fantastic selection of pens and pencils ranging from everyday to fancy fountain pens, a huge range of cards for every occasion, paper and notebooks from around the world, and desk supplies you had no idea you needed. Their own/pencil wall is to die for! I never fail to leave here with something good. The folks who work here are knowledgeable and efficient.
Definitely worth a visit!

Seven Grams Caffe

Solid little coffee shop. All of the drinks that I have had here have been good, definitely things I’d order again but not mind blowing 'I've never had anything this good before' level good. They have a decent amount of space to sit and work, service is quick and friendly, and they have lots of pastries and other goodies to go with your drinks, but I have not tried them.
Definitely worth a stop for their good drinks and bonus points for consistency.

Anchorhead Coffee
2022 Aug 19
In an area filled with great coffee, Anchorhead is even able to stand out here. I try to compare apples to apples, so I try espresso, lattes, and cold brew/iced coffee to get a baseline. Anchorhead excels at all of the above, and has fantastic beans to take home as well. For drinks in the cafe, they are consistent, accurate, friendly, and quick. Temperatures are never weird and your coffee never tastes burned like that place across the street. One might expect less than stellar customer service given the super touristy location, but that has never been the case on any of my visits.
This location shares space with a cider brewery, which has some large format games (like cornhole, giant jenga) set up. There’s tons of space here but not a lot of seating, but they do have a few tables outside.
Well worth a stop- one of the better options in this general area.
