A quick look at Coffee Project New York, opening soon on East 5th Street



The coffee shop at 239 E. Fifth St. between Second Avenue and Cooper Square has been in the works for several months now... yesterday was the first day that we have seen the paper off the front windows... EVG contributor Derek Berg says that the place should be open within a week...



The shop has a website and Facebook page (and Instagram), though there's not much other information for the moment...

  1. Lot's of pretty pictures, but what makes their $8 cup of coffee better than anyone The Bean, Think, that place on 6th St, etc.

    If anything, it may free up more seats at Podunk for those of us that prefer that place.

  3. Just what we need--another over priced, self-indulgent coffee shop. Tolstoy wrote a story "How Much Land Does a Man Need?" Someone might ask, How many coffee shops, with arrogant baristas, does a neighborhood need?

  4. Since when did coffee become a project? To me it's always been something used to wake my ass up in the morning. Ridiculous.

  5. If they don't have a gimmick like flash-roasting the beans before your eyes, they've lost my business.

  6. I prefer my coffee beans individually spit roasted actually.
