Best days for Best Coffeehouse in New York City - Upper Westside

Map My Location
Hungarian Pastry Shop
1030 Amsterdam Ave New York City, NY 10025
(212) 866-4230
This one can be listed #1 on the list for a few reasons: (1) its excellent quality coffee and pastries (2) while there are many excellent places for coffee on the UWS, this one's really the one that feels the most like a true coffeehouse - either in the grunge/colleigiate or eastern Europe tradition. Located near the Columbia campus, not far from the 1 subway stop at 110 St.
Cafe Mozart
154 W 70th St # 1 New York City, NY
(212) 595-9797
This is a coffeehouse in the Vienese tradition more than the Seattle spirit, and with a buoyant (spelling?) feel. Charming, with a variety of food on the menu, with dessert being particularly good. In the Lincoln Center area - good for post-concert.
Edgar's Cafe
255 West 84th Street New York City, NY 10024
(212) 496-6126
A more subdued vibe than Cafe Mozart. Casual, slight European feel; a fine choice. Have never personally been rushed out by staff.
Cafe Lalo
201 W 83rd St New York City, NY 10024
(212) 496-6031
This is (1) a particularly good pick for dessert and coffee, rather than for a 'coffeehouse' feel, as its rather bright inside (2) the place made famous by Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks ("You've Got Mail") (3) possibly a little overhyped as a result, but still a fine pick for this category. Open Mon 12am-2am, 8am-2am; Tue-Thu 8am-2am; Fri 8am-4am; Sat 9am-4am; Sun 9am-12am
