Chaotic Good Cafe

The cutest coffee shop. In a city that has so many, this one stands out. Not only does it have the board games, but the service in selecting a tea was fantastic. Cozy, with people working in a variety of projects or playing their games. People donate to give free drinks to teachers and first responders.

Amazing place! You can choose to stay with an hour rate or unlimited hours. Outside food friendly. In the cafe you can choose many different kinds of coffee, tea, soft drinks. The atmosphere is nice. Not loud. A lot of different table games! There are comfortable tables for 2-3-4-6-8 people. Today was my first time and I’ll definitely come back

Chaotic Good Cafe is such a gem! The atmosphere is cozy and playful — perfect for hanging out with friends or even a fun first date. One of the best parts? They have board games you can play while you sip your drink, which makes the whole experience even better. The drink menu is super creative too — I tried one with Skittles and it was just as fun as it sounds! They’re always experimenting with flavors and themes, which keeps things fresh and exciting. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a spot that’s a little different, in the best way possible.

What a gem is right. Cozy, homey, nice staff, and great coffee. Open late! What a treat to have a place like this. Reminds me of a nice college town coffee shop from Ithaca. Event nights are a great idea too. Andrew and Simone are lovely.

Had dropped off my kid at Penn Station and then decided to spend the day in my favorite place in the world- NYC of course. Walked around the UES for most of the day and then hit the Met. Spent about 6 hours there till close. Grabbed a quick bite at Mamouns on the way back to the car when it hit me- I still have an hour drive and NEED coffee. It's about 10:20pm. Everything in the UES except for Dunks was closed. I get to the car and put "coffee" in the nav once I get to the UWS. Chaotic Good pops up. In my experience, anything with the word "chaotic" in it is 100% worth checking out. And I am so glad I did. As soon as I walked up the steps and into the cafe, I was greeted by a bunch of hellos from a trio who work there and look like they love their jobs- and I mean that sincerely. I looked around and it was such a chill vibe. The really nice guy (really good looking too I might add- go check him out!) behind the counter asks what I'm in for and I said coffee and he said just in time, was about to yell out last call. I walked out with a coffee and an almond croissant. I am a coffee snob thanks to my hubby. For being 10:45pm and having the last brew- the coffee was AMAZING. The almond croissant was so fresh = crispy on the outside yet soft and dare I say the "M" word- moist on the inside. Since they were closing and I still had a long ride, I didn't stay but guess what, in the immortal words of Arnold- "I'll be back!"

Just a fabulous place to get coffee. Wonderful location. Great coffee. Great trivia night. Amazing staff. I flew in to the city for work and found myself coming back to this place every day and even went to trivia with friends! It’s a gem.

Extremely friendly staff! I loved the vibe as soon as I walked in. Reasonable drink prices for the UWS, and I had my first Mazagran coffee here, which was was fantastic. I can't wait to return for the events they host. The UWS is in dire need of third spaces like this, and I'm thrilled the Chaotic Good has come! Edit: The Mazagran is consistently fantastic (I've had it about ten times now) and the Vietnamese coffee is perfectly strong and sweet!

This place is a wonderful board game 🎲 cafe! ☕ Chaotic Good Cafe 🃏 on the UWS 🗽 serves a great selection of delicious 🤤 drinks (definitely try the hot chocolate 🍫) alongside an endless amount of board games and card 🎴 games. They have plenty of indoor seating 🪑, staff 👨‍🍳 is super friendly and welcoming, service is quick ⏲️, ambience 🎶 is fantastic, and the place is nicely decorated. 🛋️ I wish I came here more often!
