Paper Coffee

Love this coffee shop! Very lowkey and quiet place to enjoy a coffee or sit and do work. No public WiFi, but still a great relaxing space with great interior design.

The coffee shop is on the first floor of a hotel. It’s beautifully designed and adorned, feels like a serene haven in the busy city. Honey bear was good, a little too sweet for me though.

I understood the comments from others about the staff working here. Two young girls—one with ginger hair and the other with short black hair—gave off an unbelievably uncomfortable, mean vibe. I was getting coffee to go and commented on their attitude, choosing not to leave a tip (sorry, but I only tip nice people). After that, they intentionally messed up my coffee and didn’t really deny it. They added filter coffee to my cappuccino—I saw it and could definitely taste the difference. By the way, the ambiance here is beautiful! They just need to change the staff.

Beautiful place with amazing coffee and pastries. Ama took our order and made our coffee and she was the nicest person on earth. Highly recommends this spot.

I didn’t like my ordering experience with their staff. It doesn’t mean that she’s rude, but I felt really uncomfortable. So, after finishing my drinks, I just left. I felt like I couldn't stay for long. The place is quite small, with only a few tables for cafe guests. And there's NO WiFi. Can't believe it and I don’t understand why the star ratings are quite high.

Nice place with upscale and etnic fourniture that offers coffee at the front and has a (hôtel) bar at the back with even a little inside patio terrasse that offers no-view but NY-internal vintage building looks! Safe haven to have a drink in the middle of the city.

Such a beautiful place. Great cortado. I wish nyc had more gems like this one!

I loved the ambiance, truly a magnifique place to read a book. I think it’s part of a hotel (Made?). Felt very aesthetic, spacious. Coffee was normal-good ($6 for a cappuccino). No wifi, but allows computer so I guess you can hotspot

Great service. Option to 'order and go' or dine inside or on a charming plant filled lush outdoor patio. Food was beautiful and delicious. Coffee was great. Nice atmosphere with calming interior and mellow music.

Love this cute little coffee bar tucked away in the Made Hotel. A+ for the pebble ice in the cold brew.

Found this little coffee shop that turns out to be the lobby of a boutique hotel! The view and the interior design are really nice so it was great we were able to check it out through our little coffee visit. The cold brew itself is tasty, not too bitter or sour, and I am pretty sure they also use their own roasted beans as well. Will be back!

Expected more from the hype, but was a little letdown. Drink - 3/5 - Ordered an Iced Vanilla Latte and was disappointed my drink was hot (not iced) Vibe - 5/5 - The wood design aesthetics is pristine (you'll forget you're in a hotel lobby). Wish they had more seating - It was so crowded I sat outside! Customer Service - 3/5 - Felt bad that there was only 1 cashier/barista during my visit

Paper Coffee is a hotel lobby cafe at Made Hotel. I found a seat by the window with natural sunlight. Spacious, comfy and clean. The leafy greenery, wooden furnishings, and warm lightings set the tone for a pleasant studying/working/chilling environment. The only down side is their wifi is only available for hotel guests, but at least my T-Mobile hotpot works smoothly here. ＊Flat White Rich and creamy. A really decent coffee in NYC standard, and most importantly, with cute latte art. ＊Almond Croissant I won't recommend coming for their pastries, but they do have a pastry box displaying a variety of croissants, donuts and muffins. The croissant was evenly spread out with frangipane. The texture was custard-y and reminded me of Chinese almond pudding.

I was looking for a cute cafe to do some work, and stumbled upon this place! This cafe is connected to a hotel, so you have a variety of seating, from the cafe seats by the window to the lounge type seating in the lobby. The only thing to keep in mind is that their wi-fi isn't free to the public, so if you're looking to work with a laptop, probably isn't the place for you. I got a latte and it was good! It was rich and creamy, and not too sweet. I'll probably come by with another friend in the future!

The ambiance of Paper Coffee is nice and clean, but there is limited seating and no wifi. The pastries are cold and un-toasted and the service is poor. On my most recent visit the server had an attitude, asking if my order would be for here or to-go, and upon answering that I'd have it here, she scoffed and rolled her eyes at me, asking where I'd even sit because the seats were full. I've enjoyed an occasional cup of coffee here before but will not be returning again.

Perfect for a rainy day. It's giving Stockholm or Berlin or some other European city with a love of abstract art, wood, and city pop. The raison crossaint wasn't the best, but it was buttery and soft so I can't complain 6.5/10. The drip coffee was ok, but it was kind of watery 5/10. No free wifi :( but at least there's plenty of sitting space. The waitress was really nice too.

I was looking for a place close to my hotel at the Hilton Fashion District with espresso tonics and Paper Coffee delivered. First of all, the cafe is super cute with a sleek wood interior. Friendly barista. Quick service. There are tables spread inside the hotel lobby as well with some reserved for guests and other open seating. Some outlets available for charging devices. Loved the very Japanese look of the interior inside MADE Hotel. Really nice ambiance. Paper Coffee had a really nice pour of espresso and the tonic hit the spot completely. No Wi-Fi for non-hotel guests so keep that in mind, I usually just tether so not a problem for me with unlimited data. The bar looked nice too and they had Espresso Martinis which I might do in a future visit.

From the outside, the building is unasuming and I really only stumbled upon the place from Google maps. The interior is warm and has excellent lighting. Nestled within what seemed to be a hotel area, this coffee shop is definitely worth making a trip to just for the location. Looking for the bathroom was an adventure in itself! Located in an intriguingly unusual spot, it led me on a journey downstairs, into what appeared to be a club of sorts blaring music mid-day. It was definitely entertaining, to say the least. While the beverages weren't anything groundbreaking, they were pleasant. Be warned the matcha is unsweetened, but sweeteners, syrups, and sugar are provided. The place has a charming ambiance, but do note that seating is limited. Overall, the experience of this place is definitely carried by the vibes of the location. The staff is efficient and sweet and it serves as a great place to do work if you can find a spot.

Great vibes and plenty of seating (but they're all still taken, lol) with lots of plants hanging. Didn't expect a coffee shop/cafe to be this sizable in a city like New York. I got an espresso tonic which was close to 7.00 after tax, rip. It was also kind of a rip off because the tonic deflated within a few minutes so the whole drink was really 3/4 drink and 1/4 carbon dioxide, boo. The espresso and tonic went well together and it was a great thirst quencher during the humid heat, but other than that, not worth. You can buy something else for sure.

The slowest service to get a cup of coffee ever! Waited like 30 minutes to get a cappuccino... and there was only 2 people in front of me... insane!

It's attached to the hotel lobby. The coffee was good. The staff were friendly. I just wish they have a bathroom.

Beautiful looking cafe connected to a hotel (+2 stars). But what kind of coffee shop doesn't offer wifi? No apple maps, this place doesn't have free wifi. There are some outlets though, you just need to byo internet connection. The staff weren't too welcoming either and the iced drinks are pretty much all ice too... literally the entire cup was filled with ice.

Cute atmosphere and decent coffee. Not much space in the location to sit and hang for a bit and it's hard to get a server to help you.

I almost missed this coffee shop as it's located on the bottom floor of a hotel. There isn't a lot of seating, and it seems like they also make a lot of drinks for hotel guests. The matcha latte comes unsweetened, but I believe there's simple syrup on the side if you want to add sugar. It could have been whisked a bit better as there were chunks of matcha powder on the bottom. However, the matcha latte is decent and offers a strong matcha taste.

Paper Coffee is in the lobby of a hotel. It might be a good place to work for some but the coffee is a little too bitter and it's a little chaotic.

Super interesting setup in here-- I thought it was just a regular coffee shop, but it's actually the lobby of a hotel, I think? It's like a coffee shop in front and then if you go further into the interior, there are elevators and a bar and you think to yourself....maybe I'm in a hotel. It definitely feels very cozy inside, though, and served its purpose for me and my friend as we were just catching up. There are a few tables when you first get in, but most of the space is reserved for hotel guests. Also note that there is NO PUBLIC WIFI, so if you're planning to come here to do work, you better get that hotspot ready. I got an iced chai and a breakfast sandwich which came to something like $20. For what I got, it's honestly criminal. The iced chai had the most ice I've ever seen in a drink. Ever. I felt like I had 4 sips and finished the entire thing, which is not normal for me (I usually drink things extremely slowly). The breakfast sandwich was also tiny-- it looked like it was made on one of those small hawaiian rolls. If I'm remembering correctly, there was prosciutto in it? Which was thick inside the sandwich. I think I just expected something a little more for $15.

The place is great. Great drinks and croissants. Fun fact: My best friend and I both had our first dates with our ex boyfriends here (coincidentally). Very cute and quiet enough to carry on conversations. But both relationship didn't last long lol

Paper Coffee Cafe not only offers a delightful experience for coffee enthusiasts but also serves as a fantastic study spot. With its cozy and comfortable seating options, calming music, and great drinks, it becomes an ideal place to focus and get some work done. The well air-conditioned environment ensures that you can study in comfort even during warm days. Despite the minor downside of paying for internet access, the cafe's overall ambiance and excellent service make it a wonderful spot to combine productivity with a pleasant coffee experience. Whether you're looking to study or simply unwind, Paper Coffee Cafe has got you covered!

Coffee is fine but service is horrible. The waitress that was working was giving me, my friend, and other customers such an attitude. Thinking of it now the only people I saw her being nice to was a 1 group of guys. Not only were they rude, the time and service is very long. Took 10 minutes to get a coffee and croissant. And as I am here writing this review I am still waiting for someone to come around so I can pay for my coffee. Everyone has bad days but it takes nothing to be kind. Don't get me wrong super cute place, definitely an elevated cafe for wfh or business meetings but wow, services needs some work.

Coffee was so good! Also just loved how spacious this place is. Usually, you can't work in nyc coffee shops bc of how crowded it gets; buts this place was perfect!

It might be confusing to find if it's a first time, so look for the little standup sign and this exterior! Lots of cozy seating inside, with a lot of people working on their laptops. Decent coffee - had a latte and it was pretty good but nothing to rave about. (also, it's not sweet, fyi!! add as needed)

Today I ventured to "Paper", a coffee joint inside "Made" which is a hotel. My initial reaction is based on the atmosphere, the wooden chairs, warm tones of lighting, and earthy furbishing made this joint very welcoming. The coffee shop itself opens up into the hotel lobby thus, there is plenty of seating and space. I ordered the chai and the avocado toast. As an avid chai enthusiast, it was great, it had great spice tones, was velvety, left no peculiar aftertaste and overall was a great experience. I give it a 9/10. As I reflect on the avocado toast, the cost does not correspond to the flavor of the dish. Although, I will say the dish was beautiful and the bread was great. If you are someone who enjoys bread quality you will enjoy this toast. However, as someone who looks at dishes holistically, it did not do it for me. The mushrooms are an interesting textural addition to the toast and the egg was made to perfection but, the additional toppings and micro-layer of avocado made me question why I had just spent $15 on avocado toast. I give the toast a 5/10. Additionally, I want to mention the people here and the customer service which was great, everyone is friendly.

Such a cute and relaxing ambiance, we were tired from walking so my significant other and I sat for a while a relaxed. There were other people there on their laptops and doing work and other people casually catching up. If I were local in the area, I would definitely wanna do work at this coffee shop. I ordered the iced hazelnut latte bc unfortunately they were out of vanilla flavor. I'm not the biggest fan of hazelnut, but surprisingly it was tasty and not overly sweet and it didn't have a strong nutty flavor.

Lovely matcha latte and so many more amazing drinks +food!!:) Thanks you paper coffee. -Tesla

Super cute inside, although only a few tables. It's in the lobby of a hotel which is a little confusing. Coffee was yummy but the barista/server was quite rude because we came in at 5:30 and they close at 6. Wouldn't come back.

I had some trouble finding where the heck this spot was but I'm glad I did as it exceeded my expectations. -Staff is very sweet, attentive, and skilled. -They use some of my fav quality suppliers (matchaful , Colson Patisserie, rishi tea, Califia Barista Oat milk, monin syrups) -The baby ice was the cherry on top on such a hot day. P.S. I nicknamed the bear Colson bc that's the bakery name. Colson was as delicious as he was adorable!

Cool place, nice vibes. Pretty terrible coffee though. Staff is great, responsive and friendly. I'd go back to work but wouldn't get excited about the quality of the coffee.

No Wi-Fi. Everything else was great. Very spacious interior by NYC standards. You can go to the coffee bar out front and order your coffee. Or you can go all the way to the back and get customer service. The waitress was really attentive and my matcha latte turned out amazing. Got an extra shot of matcha, which made it a bit too bitter but highly caffeinated ha. It didn't cost anything extra for the service except for tip. Highly recommend if you're planning on staying here a while. Good touch with the interior decor. Lots of wood and seating arrangements. Restrooms are available downstairs.

Stopped by Paper Coffee on a Thursday morning and was surprised at how quaint this coffee shop was. Hidden in a hotel next to a construction site, you can easily miss this place. The ambience has a small, cozy vibe. It's at the lobby of the MADE hotel, but don't let that fool you on your coffee experience. Limited seating and it fills up fast since it's small, but there's more seating in the hotel. I ordered a Caramel Latte and it tasted like a regular latte. Nothing special and it's something that I can get at a ordinary cafe, but it's my go to drink when I'm not sure what I should try. The Barista didn't ask me for a size so I am guessing it's one size only. I was confused when the Barista also asked me if I wanted a non dairy option. They only have one option and it's Oat Milk. They use crushed ice and I prefer having ice cubes so that it doesn't get stuck through the straw lol For food, there were a few bakery items like croissants, cookies, muffins, etc. It's a first come first serve basis so once they are out, the food is gone for the day. I personally didn't grab anything, and it looked a little overpriced for what you get. Overall, this is a great place for a quick coffee fix or if you are staying at the hotel.

An employee harassed my wife out of the store for not adding tip to her coffee order. After coming up to her table asking her why she didn't tip, she came back up to her a second time to tell her her bag needed to be put on the floor instead of the chair next to her because "two people might walk in and need that seat". Weird, rude, nasty behavior.

The coffee place is tucked in a hotel. There's limited seating for cafe guests since the rest is reserved for hotel guests. The latte was just okay.

Outstanding surprise in a really really nice hotel. The coffee vibe ...successful brew and decent pastries gives a new meaning to a third wave exprience. Nestled inside Made Hotel, you might think there would be an awkwardness of mingling between guests and NYC coffee patrons. But nahhh...everybody seems to take their cue from the vibes and get along just fine. I'd come here if I lived in NYC just because of the chill and stretching area to do your thing. Mingle or fiddle with your laptop or just dream out onto the greenery while you doodle in your journal. Nobody will mind.

I was initially disappointed the only non dairy option offered is OAT MILK (no soy milk, no almond milk, no coconut milk etc) since I'm not a fan of it (I don't want a hint of oatmeal in things) however my cappuccino came out great! The store is CASH FREE with very very limited seating. You can expect a line of about 4 people any time of day. Worth a stop if you're in NOMAD but no need to make a special trip; unless you're seeking an oat milk cappuccino (you don't see that offered much)

Great ambiance and relaxing environment to do work or study. Friendly and quick service! A downside for some would be that the cafe does not have public WiFi.

randomly found this gem on yelp and honestly one of the best coffees i've had! The doors are huge when you walk through and the shop resides to the right upon entrance. The barista who helped me was so sweet. I asked if they could do a iced honey latte for me even tho honey wasn't on the menu and it was perfection! Also in love with the tiny ice that they use. Will be coming back more regularly

The staff was very welcoming and everyone was really nice. The ambiance was a casual place, great place to study, do work, or catch up. The seats were comfortable and there were a lot of different choices. I had the matcha and I didn't love it but I could see the other drinks-- such as coffee, being better. I saw many others doing work.

Ordered a vanilla flat white. Could hardly taste the vanilla and the coffee was way too acidic. Paid $15 for 2 small flat whites.... Insane. Not sure if you're paying for the quality of the coffee or simply just the aesthetic of the shop.

Huh? A sleeper hit! Love this place. The outside is under renovation right now, otherwise the exterior seating would have been GORGEOUS. Wooden panels almost reminiscent of Japan. It's in the lobby of the MADE HOTEL, which has gorgeous branches in major cities. So the interior is very cozy and bougie, with lots of seating and connects to a bar. Service is great and fast. I love that this place opens early and I was able to drop by before my interview. The coffee -- I ordered a breve -- was delicious. I wasn't able to catch what beans they use but it's definitely a high quality roaster. (Later found out it's Devocion which makes perfect sense). Fresh and with no hint of acidity at all. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Would definitely drop by again.

Amazing, pricey but literally amazing. They use like pebble ice which makes the drink less watery when melted. Honestly, I would come here a lot more if the drinks weren't out of my price range. Always get the cold brew. The area to chill and relax is so modern and fresh. Unfortunately, there is no free wifi so mainly lounging as the lobby is so quiet. The cafe is connected to the lobby of a hotel.

UPDATE: They are no longer offering free wifi for everyone ): This used to be one of my favorite study spots, but I had to hotspot to get my work done. However, the coffee here is pretty good and it is decently spacious! But it does get really crowded in the weekends as many other people come here to get their work done or just to catch up with friends. It DOES get cold so keep that in mind!

Drink tasted so watered down. This coffee counter is connected to a hotel. It's overpriced and barely anywhere to sit. Best to go somewhere else for better coffee.

This place was so aesthetic; it reminds me of Japan. soooo aesthetic - I would come back solely for the aesthetics but luckily the croissant was really good - it was so flaky. The matcha was not so great because they had limited dairy options (they only had half & half or almond milk) [food insta: @strwbrrryboba :)]

No wifi. Nothing special about coffee and space. Staffs were nice. I don't see any point to come here unless you stay the hotel.

This place was reaaaaally just okay. We waited 15 minutes to put in our order, only for them to forget about our order... we probably spent upwards of 30 minutes here picking up 1 cup of matcha latte. There are too many delicious coffee shops in the neighborhood for this to happen, probably won't be back. The latte was so small for the price, and the vibes felt really random - from hotel guests in PJ's, to teenagers watching tik toks. The baristas were super friendly (and apologetic) though!

Great place to work on laptop in. Amazing vibe with wifi and friendly staff. However I don't see latte art they do on the coffee order anymore :o The entrance was a bit hard to find I guess because of the construction going on next door; I thought the front door was a back door, maybe could make the entrance more visible would be more noticeable!

Hidden in Midtown in the bottom level of a hotel Upon entering, it's a very calming space shared with the hotel lobby The price is on par with competitive cafes nearby. The cashier there is very friendly with a great smile! They do have some pastries and you can sit and do some work! Just a note, after you place your order, you do have to walk around a bit of a tight place to pick up your drink on the other side of the counter.

Cute/homey interior with good coffee! However, I gotta take 1 star off because there is never any seating. I've been there 3 times and have waited 30 minutes with no seats opening up. Perhaps they are just too popular.

Counter area was a bit crowded. There are seating area but it's kind of mixed with the small hotel lobby which I wasn't a fan of.
