Solid State Coffee

This is the best little coffee shop on the Upper West Side! Cozy and chill with a wonderful and friendly staff. Their espresso is so smooth, I barely add any cream and sugar, so yum! Solid State has merch as well with cute hoodies and hats. Plenty of seating in the back and a comfy waiting space. They are super fast too, so efficient and quick. Great music and vibes, I seriously look forward to going here when I visit New York. Great location, just 2 blocks from Central Park in a safe area surrounded by brownstones. I love this place and can’t wait to go back! Thanks and keep up the great work!

One of the best coffee ive had during the NYC trip. The taste note was solid and clear not just plain bitter nothing. You can taste the tastenote as described. The staffs were also friendly and hospitable. There were also various of beans to choose from

Solid State serves great coffee and has a variety of brews to try. Matcha is decent too. However, the place is very pricey even for the upper west and the food can be very hit or miss. For example, their pastries are great, but several are not made in house and the quality is much worse. Tried the egg sandwich today and overall was disappointed - this was not a $14 sandwich and the labneh overpowered any other flavor in the meal. This coffeeshop does not have wifi either which I can understand from a culture perspective but seems off given half the clientele are always working on laptops. Good spot in the neighborhood for sure, but you have to figure out whats actually worth spending your money on here given the expense.

Great coffee, crowded space on the weekends! A little pricey, but that didnt deter folks... the line was practically out the door! Got a bacon cheddar Danish and it was delightful. Had to stop myself from getting more than one pastry. Be forewarned, the reviews are true: there's no wifi here. But the comfy seats and outlets make it a perfect spot to so offline work or catch up with friends

Baristas are super friendly and the shop is super cute! Not a ton of seating and super busy. Onion focaccia is yummy, super onion-y, but also very greasy. The salted caramel speciality latte was just…fine. Tasted like a generically sweet coffee. No strong flavor to it.

They were very busy when we visited on a Friday morning around 10:30. We were fortunate and found a table after we ordered after a group of customers left. The latte was good. Nice location and atmosphere

Solid State Coffee is a fantastic coffee shop with a surprisingly large amount of seating for New York City. They have a nice selection of beans for purchase, a wide variety of pastries, good selection of coffee options, and a nice food menu. I ordered a Mocha, Jelly filled donut, and a bacon cheddar danish. The mocha was just the right amount of bitter, partnering really well with the chocolate to not be over powered. The donut and danish were delicious, even though the danish was served at room temperature. Overall a great experience and worth coming again. I will also mention the restroom is really clean as well and well maintained.

Nice and cozy coffee shop. Over crowded sometimes. Friendly staff however with too many people there they also are overburdened
