In New York, the boundary between spaces and the threshold between states of being are narrow, drastic and oftentimes explode in chain succession. A tranquil and sensual space such a Paper Coffee exist in different corners and different parts of the city, but one often has to dash through the restless traffic, olfactory confusion a mix of trash, of rotten rags, commercial laundry detergent and expensive eau de toilettes, and of course, in this part of the town, the crowd that seems to go from zero to 100 real fast.
Paper Coffee is a lovely coffee nook in the hotel lobby. You can take your coffee to go, or have it in the beautiful curated lobby space oozing a mid-modern aesthetic. Nice seating area, very intimate, comfortable and sensual. It is swallowed by the grounding wood tone. And through a glass patio/stairway, you can get a glimpse of lively greenery on the backdrop of a gunpowder slate.
They serve Variety Coffee at the time of my visit. A little haven from the hustling streets in this part of town. Great coffee. Great vibe. Very friendly staff.

More of a service of the adjoining hotel than a real cafe. Was nice in there, but still had those sterile hotel vibes. There was also a hotel check-in counter right by the entrance. A really nice place if you're staying there, I'm sure, but not great as a place for a local to plop down for a few hours.
Affiliated to the hotel nearby, non-hotel guests are able to enjoy the wooden interior and luxe ambience. Seats near the bar and restaurant are for guests only, but there are plenty of options for non-guests.
The staff is super fun and nice! La-Toya had the coolest glasses she designed herself and made friendly chatter with me about my illustration. Another staff asked me himself if I’d like a refill for my water.
I spent a solid 6 hours there and did not feel as though I was taking up their space at all. So, if you need a cafe to remind you that you’re in NYC and allow you a comfortable durable stay, Paper Coffee I’d suggest.

Was in search of an aesthetic study lounge to read and I am more than pleased to have found this place. There are plenty of seating, seating options I mean to be exact- whether that is a barstool, couch, or armchair may fancy you. I surmise this place gets crowded since it is nestled right in Made Hotel. Do bear in mind the cafe closes at 6PM and most of the cafe food are sold out towards the evening. Overall the crowd and ambience is pleasant.
I found this place very cramped and the menu of drinks pretty paltry. Not to say there was anything wrong with my chai latte, or even the atmosphere of the place, I just think the photos oversold it a bit. Even with the generous allocated seating specifically for hotel guests, if you're staying in this hotel and this is doubling as both a cafe and the lobby, it's vaguely claustrophobic. On temperate weather days it looks like they have outdoor seating, but in the usual new york autumn gloominess almost every seat was taken and luggage towered between cramped walkways.
Absolutely beautiful ambiance, great staff, and good coffee. Perfect place to sit read work or relax, they play amazing music and it’s a great hidden gem! Also worth noting this is located in the lobby of a hotel and to use the WiFi you will need a hotel guest card, if not bring a hotspot!
Almost hidden location due to the construction work nearby. Once entered into a Lobby of a hotel where the right corner space is for the coffee shop. The other side for hotel guest. Unfortunately, the experience is quite limited.
Pros: The music and decor.
Cons: NO milk alternatives for the drinks, quite shocking given the location. I ordered a pastry item to be warmed and received it cold. The workers are more consumed with chatting loudly to one another rather then serving the customer. Very unwelcoming.
Overall it is very nice on the eyes but not much otherwise. Don't let their hotel lobby location fool you, hospitality isn't their priority.

It’s a nice spacious coffee shop attached to the hotel. They have few tables around the coffee station but there are also tables available inside the hotel lobby. My latte was nice and strong. They don’t have milk out. I guess you have to ask if you need extra milk. It took some time to get our drink and the shop wasn’t busy in the afternoon. I imagine it might be a long wait in the morning.
