NYC Coffee

As part of my ongoing NYC coffee run adventure, I recently revisited 787 Coffee Co, specifically their charming spot on West Tenth Street. My initial visit for that delicious Iced Vanilla Latte definitely left an impression, and I wanted to add a bit more detail for anyone else on their own coffee quest in the city. First off, let's talk about the vibe. This 787 Coffee Co location has such a cozy, neighborhood feel. It's not huge, but it's perfectly set up for grabbing a quick, high-quality brew. I noticed a mix of locals popping in for their morning fix and tourists like me, exploring the West Village. While it's more of a 'grab-and-go' spot, there are often a few stools if you want to savor your drink for a few minutes and soak in the atmosphere. The staff has always been super friendly and efficient, which is a huge plus when you're navigating a busy #coffeenyc morning. Expanding on the Iced Vanilla Latte itself: what makes it 'absolutely delicious'? For me, it's the perfect balance. It’s sweet without being syrupy, and the vanilla flavor really complements the coffee without overpowering it. The espresso base they use is clearly top-notch, offering a smooth, robust flavor that stands up well to the milk and syrup. And yes, that 'convenient package' is a real blessing! You know how sometimes you get a cup that feels flimsy or spills easily? Not here. Their cups are sturdy, and the lids fit perfectly, making it ideal for walking around the city without worrying about drips or spills, especially important when you’re trying to multitask or just enjoy the sights. Now, for the 'pricey' aspect. At $10.75 for an Iced Vanilla Latte, it definitely sits at the higher end of the spectrum for a single coffee. NYC coffee prices can vary wildly, and 787 Coffee Co is certainly an indulgence. However, I often find that you're paying for quality ingredients, a prime location, and a unique experience. This isn't your average chain coffee; it’s a commitment to good coffee grown on their own farm in Puerto Rico, which is a story in itself. So, while it's not an everyday purchase for everyone, it feels justified for a special treat or when you're seeking a genuinely excellent cup. Beyond my go-to Iced Vanilla Latte, I've heard amazing things about their Cortadito and the Coqui. If you're into something a bit stronger or more traditional, those might be worth exploring on your next visit. They also have some tempting pastries and snacks that look perfect for a quick bite if you're in a hurry. For anyone looking for a unique #nyccoffee experience that supports a great mission and delivers on flavor, 787 Coffee Co is definitely a spot to add to your list. It might be a little splurge, but sometimes, a truly great coffee is worth every penny, especially during an exhilarating NYC coffee run!
