I used to go to this store because is a quick place to use the atm or play lottery. But you get harrased by the uneducated store clerk if you park your bike six feet from the store. Not blocking anyone at all and the door opens only by push. Misprinted loteery tickets, one of the worse coffee ever purchased. Or the clerk doesn't want to play your lottery ticket or he is playing someone's else games by phone. And gutsy to say you have to wait 7-10 minutes.
Overall if there was an option of no stars for the worse service thats this place on Lafayette.
Coffee next door is much better and friendly.

I work a block away from here and unfortunately it's the only place I can get a coffee or bagel close by that accepts card but they should not be making coffee or bagels they seem more focused on selling vape and tobacco products.

"Can I get a cortado?" Them: You want tobacco? "No, the coffee near the bottom of your menu." Them: Oh, we don't do that. Only cappuccino and latte.

This is a run-down bodega offering vape pens, certainly not a cafe. For some reason they like to pretend to be a coffee shop online and didn't change their name from the previous tenant (which was actually a cafe).

The actual cafe is closed or never existed, the address actually leads to a vape shop, they are just using the old images for the cafe to lure in tourists. If you notice there isn't a single real review that is less then 3 years old. It's a scam don't bother.

Very stylish cafe with a friendly staff and perfect coffee. The cappuccino was made perfect and the bagels are delicious. :)

Came in for the croissant and cappuccino special and now I can't stop coming back!

Now you would think that the Little Italy area would be awash with places to pick up your daily espresso jolt. Not so! Clearly this Roman tradition cannot compete with the pizza and pasta offerings of Mulberry Street and one must venture a block or two across to indulge.

Iconic is a new addition to the neighborhood and deserves to be hyped up because, at least as far as coffee is concerned, they are doing things right. If you are hungry, there are bagels, pastries and fresh made sandwiches and as mentioned, I can vouch for the quality of their croissants.

If you live nearby you should definitely give it a try. If you're just in the area, you should definitely give it a try. I think you can see what I'm saying...

Cute little cafe, I love how they decorated it. I recommend their sea salt brownie. It's delicious. The baristas are very friendly.
Love their seats with plugs for your electronics for every spot.
