No More Cafe

If you’ve been looking for that elusive "third place" that isn’t a noisy coffee shop or a sticky-floored bar, this is it. During the day, this spot is a remote worker’s paradise. It has all the charm of a high-end lounge without the pressure to keep ordering espresso just to keep your seat. The lighting is perfect, the playlist is curated for focus, and the atmosphere is effortlessly productive. It’s basically a free coworking space—but with much better drinks and a way cooler aesthetic. Being sober-curious shouldn’t mean settling for a sugary soda or plain water. The menu here is sophisticated and intentional. Whether you’re into bitter botanicals or crisp, refreshing NA spirits, the craft behind these drinks is incredible. You get the ritual of a "grown-up" drink without the brain fog the next morning. Whether you’re looking to crush your to-do list or meet a friend for a deep conversation, this place nails the balance. It’s inclusive, stylish, and exactly what the neighborhood needed.

We came in searching for an espresso mocktini and ended up finding the best one we’ve ever had - honestly better than the real thing! Rodrigo then walked us through the rest of the menu, and every cocktail was just as impressive. Each drink has a thoughtfully layered flavor profile with real, interesting ingredients - not your typical overly sweet, artificial non-alcoholic option. You can tell how intentional and well-crafted everything is. This place completely redefines what a mocktail can be.

No More Cafe is one of my favorite places to work from home outside the house. It’s a perfect setup for a few focused hours. Not too loud, plenty of outlets at the tables, and a really comfortable vibe overall. The staff is genuinely kind and welcoming, which makes a big difference when you’re hanging out for a while. The coffee and matcha are great, but the standout for me is their non-alcoholic drinks, easily the best I’ve ever had. They’re not overly sweet and actually feel like a thoughtfully crafted cocktail, just without the alcohol. Such a gem in the East Village. Definitely recommend.

No More Cafe is a rare kind of sanctuary in NYC; clean, modern, and intentionally calm. A zero-proof alcohol and tea space designed for clarity rather than chaos. The atmosphere feels thoughtful and grounded, with a minimalist aesthetic that immediately slows you down instead of revving you up. The menu is centered on high-quality teas, functional zero-proof drinks, and light snacks that nourish without weighing you down. Everything feels purposeful, nothing flashy, nothing forced. Just soothing energy, balanced flavors, and a clear respect for people who want to feel good after they leave, not depleted. It’s the kind of place you go to reset your nervous system, have a real conversation, read, reflect, or simply exist without pressure. No More Cafe proves that nightlife doesn’t need alcohol to be vibrant, and that presence, intention, and community are more than enough. A quiet win for modern wellness culture in New York.

I am a huge fan of mocktails and fancy nonalcoholic beverages so I was very excited when we found an alcohol free bar just walking distance from Union Square Park. The atmosphere inside was cozy. We ordered the Island Echo and the Agave Phantom. I am sad to say this but we were not impressed with the drinks and we felt like they did not fit the menu descriptions well. Both drinks had heavy licorice notes and it was not the most pleasant flavor experience. We even tried each other drinks to see if maybe we liked the other person’s better but unfortunately, we were unable to finish them. We felt like the people who worked there really cared about their drinks and were enthusiastic about their menu. It was just unfortunate that we did not enjoy the drinks. We do not see ourselves visiting this cafe again.

I love this spot. I just moved to New York in 2025 and I haven’t found a better spot to study, get a nice mocktail or drink coffee with friends. This place has free WiFi, friendly staff and live music. I’ve literally been coming here almost every day for a year now and it’s become my go to meeting spot and study spot since it stays open till midnight. I’ve even seen a few celebrities walk in. I highly recommend.

The concept of a non-alcoholic bar/cafe is stronger than the menu itself from first impressions. It's a refreshing take, and the staff we interacted with seemed genuinely prideful of their homemade concoctions. However, my friend and I were underwhelmed. When you think of mocktails, you may expect the illusion of an alcoholic version, mimicing the taste and textures. It's exciting innovative mocktails, not recreating any other but born from the minds of its staff. While the menu did offer the innovation, it didn't taste at all like mocktails, nor juice...it tasted just off. We ordered a charcuterie board which fell pretty flat. Reading another review, it feels like our experience was similar to there's. Really wanted to love it, but I'll say we aren't the right customers perhaps. It is a spot where you can work remotely for anyone interested. The spot itself is cozy overall.

I’m so happy that I found this spot! It’s warm, charming, and peaceful. The bartender George was delightful. He answered all of our questions thoroughly and he was also funny and super sweet! The mocktails were delicious and I love the glasses. I’m definitely coming back here again soon.

Had a wonderful experience here. I was invited by a friend and was so happy that I know this place exists now. Drinks - the drinks crafted here have so much thought and care put into them. The flavors are complex and all complement each other. The owner is truly a master of his craft and it seems like he really cares about what he's making. Food - we ordered a bunch of small, shareable plates. Beautifully presented and tasted wonderful. Couple highlights - foie gras, steak tartare, salmon crudo. All so good. Vibes - super cute decor and there's a piano up front and I want to come back when the pianist is here. Will definitely be coming back frequently

Really lovely hidden gem. I loved the live music and friendly staff. I did need to keep asking my server for a menu, a check. Not the most attentive but not sure if it was just so laid back and no pressure that he thought it was ok? The drink I had was interesting. I have been a bartender who of course made mostly alcohol drinks however even with "virgin" drinks, there needs to be a balance of flavors and all I tasted in my Agave drink was sour mix. All in all, I'd go back. Maybe try a different drink.

This is Virgin Wizardry, people!! WOW. Hats off to Chef, outstanding first experience!

Very yummy burrata, love their charcuterie options although didn't get to try it. I ordered the Visions of Ruby, and Urban Illusion. Both were very well crafted and love the take on No Alcohol! Would def come back
