Arcane Estate Coffee

I couldn’t quite justify the almost $6 I paid for a regular coffee smaller than any I’ve had in NYC. It’s a very small spot with limited seating—more suited for takeaway—and the menu is minimal, with no basic amenities like a restroom. Still, maybe it’s just me, and I don’t know how to truly appreciate a coffee worthy of royalty. You might enjoy it more, so give it a try.

This is one of my favorite spots. Great coffee; perfect croissants; a great, knowledgeable staff; a cool, relaxed environment in a neighborhood with a lot going on—what more could you want?

Cool spot! Coffee is good but on the pricey side. They have a few cute tables to sit at but it’s very limited. They have a few la cabra pastries which look divine. No bathroom :/

Amazing coffee place in nyc! Coffee, service, people and overall atmosphere made me feel like I’m part of one big coffee family :) Staff is very friendly and professional. They gladly share the history of the place and coffee origins. Highly recommend visiting 😍 definitely on my top list!

Everything about this place speaks for itself. From the way art pieces are displayed around the small space, to the way the glassware is organized in drawers, to the way the counter space is not cluttered, there is thought given to all parts of the business. The coffee speaks volumes, the place speaks volumes, and the people behind the bar emit such great vibes. A great addition to the NYC coffee scene. More review: The cold brew goes insane and the espresso and cortado combo is not to be missed.

These folks take coffee extremely seriously, but don't take themselves too seriously which creates a refreshing vibe of passion and a rich quality of product. The Gesha was phenomenal, as you might expect, and the team is incredibly knowledgeable. Definitely not one to miss when in NY.

So, so, so beautiful. Hats off to the best coffee spot in this city. The attention to detail is second to none because the good people at Arcane care about the experience just as much as the coffee… And they care A LOT about the coffee. Edgar (the owner) and his team are super friendly and open to all your niche coffee (and non-coffee) related questions. If you value the little things and/ or the big things, nay, if you are a human being in New York, do yourself a favor and go to Arcane. You’ll be glad you did.

Truly a hidden gem! This place gets it. Here, coffee is treated as should be, like wine. Different geographies, elevations, and varietals yield unique flavors. Coffee is not just “coffee”, but a vast culinary landscape waiting to be explored. No syrups or decaf at Arcane, but there are plenty of other coffee shops that serve those. (Roasting for decaf destroys the beans’ characteristic flavors.) Arcane usually has 2 espresso and 4 pour over rotating options. And La Cabra pastries! Here you will be treated by coffee masters and lovers. Let them open your eyes to what coffee can be.

I past by this place before it opened and was curious because I hadn't seen a place focused on Panamanian coffee before in New York City and a friend of mine made me curious about it. When I had a break, I finally came through. The cafe is relatively small. Maybe 10 people at most can be there comfortably between sitting and standing. That is why they have a no laptop rule on their tables and on the register. They sold only one type of coffee in bags but you can taste different varieties through tasting. Other than that they serve options like espresso and espresso with milk (no lattes or mochas). They also have iced coffee, matcha and teas available. Because I already had matcha that day, I tried their cold fresas con crema which was a strawberry soda. It was quite refreshing. I would come back with friends who are more serious about coffee as opposed to a chill hang. The people there were nice and it was quiet around 2 pm.

Arcane Estate Coffee in the West Village is a hidden gem for coffee lovers. The space has a cozy, stylish vibe with just the right mix of modern and rustic. The coffee is exceptional; smooth, rich, and clearly crafted with care. I tried their Iced matcha which was from Kettl tea, and it was one of the best I've had in the city. The barista was kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The staff overall seem genuinely passionate about what they do. It's a great spot to relax, catch up with a friend, or get a little work done. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. By the way, they have croissants and other pastries from La Cabra. Now I don't have to go all the way to SoHo or the East Village.

This is coffee as art. I feel like only real coffee drinkers come here. While the lattes and milk drinks are good you should really try to get espresso or drink the coffee black. It's a small place so not great for groups but the ambiance is so cool.

Love a new coffee shop in WV. It's the cutest little shop with limited seating and friendly staff. Just got an iced coffee! It was great. Another pit stop added to the list.
