The Station Café

My wife and I always enjoy time here together after leaving our daughter at childcare, before heading to work. We absolutely love this café! Their caffè e latte is outstanding, rich and perfectly balanced. What impressed us even more is the way they prepare matcha in the authentic Japanese style—a rare find outside Japan even in NY. On top of that, the staff are simply wonderful, always welcoming and attentive. Highly recommended!

I already posted a review, but I want to say a little more... This egg sandwich on brioche is superb... The espresso is particularly good and made with the best Italian coffee machine La Marzocco handmade in Florence, Italy. It is considered the Ferrari of coffee makers. Everything from panini, soup, tartines, bagels, and omelettes is wonderful, and the croissants are (the best in town). The interiors are simple, efficient, and very welcoming. I recommend this spot to all my genuine coffee lover friends.

The cafe has a clean, minimalist vibe that feels instantly refreshing. Today, we tried a pistachio croissant, a cream croissant, and a strawberry matcha latte. The cream croissant had a light, silky filling almost like a softer, creamier custard while the pistachio version had a thicker, richer filling with a pleasant nutty depth. Both were soft, buttery, and perfectly flaky, and the fillings added just the right balance of texture and flavor. I enjoyed my strawberry matcha latte by the water the strawberry paste added a gentle sweetness to the earthy matcha without the need for extra sugar. Overall, a lovely experience, and I’d happily come back to this cafe again.

Top-tier hospitality and incredible pastries! This cafe is truly a gem. Their pistachio croissants are unreal — flaky, flavorful, and always fresh. The team goes above and beyond every time I walk in. They remember my name and my latte order, which makes the whole experience feel personal and genuinely welcoming. Consistently great service, great energy, and great coffee. Highly recommend!

Such a gorgeous spot, quick service, good music, and kind people. The coffee and matcha is just unmatched!! And cannot recommend the Station Bagel enough

We had such a wonderful experience thanks to Addie! She helped make our trip to New York truly special. The hot chocolate was incredibly delicious, and she prepared our order very quickly. Everything was perfect from start to finish. Highly recommend!

My wife and I went here every day for 3 weeks while she was undergoing treatment at NYU Cancer Center. It wasn’t only the perfect cup of coffee and delicious treats that got us through that time, it was the lovely atmosphere and people who work there that helped us in ways they didn’t know at the time. Even though we won’t be going every day anymore, we’ll find every excuse we can to go down there and drink the delicious coffee. THANK YOU!!

To say that I'm blown away by the food and service at The Station Cafe feels like an understatement. The Murray Hill Neighborhood Association hosted its trustee meeting there and it absolutely did not disappoint. Every dish felt like it out did the one before. The entire presentation felt like magic. The owner, Bobby, is an absolute prize and a true pleasure to work with. I look forward to not only eating there but ordering catering for sure. What an amazing addition to our neighborhood.

Best cold brew in Murray hill... which means a lot coming from a coffee snob such as myself. Typically when I frequent a coffee shop, it has on and off days. Somehow, station cafe has managed to keep the quality and consistency on point. Love coming here every morning.

Solid and consistent this bar offers a great twist compared to most other coffee shops in New York City. There is a strong linkage between the owner of this shop and Sammontana- a popular Italian gelato brand that is now found in the USA. In addition to having a delicious coffee, they also have unique Italian gelato offerings. The barista is well knowledgeable about different blends of coffee and mentioned the intricate partnership between this particular coffee shop and the Italian gelato brand. There are special homemade baked goods here too that are well worth your while. Their chocolate chip muffin has a solid core of melted chocolate that will take your breath away! Overall amazing coffee shop, and highly recommended in case you're in the area.

Cute Murray Hill spot with a nostalgic backstory & solid vibes, but a few quirks to note ;) Stopped by The Station Café on a casual Saturday morning and was intrigued by the concept - it's got a charming vintage-meets-modern aesthetic and a sweet nod to Murray Hill's history (the name references the old IRT Second Ave Line, which I thought was a cool touch). You can tell they put thought into their branding and vibe. I ordered an iced matcha latte with skim milk, which was pretty standard- not bad, not mind-blowing. One weird thing: they charge $0.50 extra for iced drinks, which I've honestly never encountered before. Apparently it's a Manhattan coffee shop thing (accordingly to my date), but it still feels a little odd and nickel-and-dimey. My date got a hot Americano with almond milk and didn't love the almond milk - fair warning to fellow dairy-free folks. He also ordered an egg white + avocado on a scooped poppyseed bagel (he's allergic to dairy, so no butter), and while the almond milk missed, the bagel dish was a semi-win. The egg was piping hot and steaming (literally) for a solid 5 minutes. I ended up eating half of the bagel because he mostly got it to support the toppings, and it hit the spot for me. The interior is sleek, with tables flanked by a long booth on one side and regular chairs on the other. I made the rookie mistake of plopping down on the booth thinking it'd be plush... it's not. Minimal cushion - don't sit too fast. They've got a pretty wide range of offerings, from specialty donuts and fruit cups to smoothies and croissant sandwiches. The breakfast sandwiches, in particular, looked amazing. They're served on little wooden boards that make everything feel a touch elevated. I also spotted a strawberry matcha latte that looked divine, so I'll probably be back to try that next time. Overall, Station feels like a place with great potential. It's got a story, and it's trying to do something a bit more elevated. Some hits, some misses, but worth a visit if you're in the area.

Great grilled cheese and lentil soup. Definitely will be back. Lots of things to choose from

Another sublime coffee experience. Only this time in Manhattan, not far from where I work on 2nd Ave and 34th. My iced cappuccino was brewed to perfection and the baked goods looked very nice indeed. Therefore I bought a pistachio cream muffin to take with me for later, as I cannot resist anything with pistachio. Add to the fact it was pistachio cream, and I am intrigued. Owner/barista was very kind and patient in explaining all the wonderful types of coffee drinks, sweet and savory offerings.

super cute and servers r rlly nice. prices just like everywhere else but they have free wifi so it could be worth it if u wanna do work the food also looks rlly good and reasonably priced have to try it

This is such a local gem! Always great food and service. One of my favorites is the salmon croissant...their chai tea. Excellent!!! And the staff is attentive, polite and very respectful! And such an adorable spot. A really nice place to stop for a quick, casual bite after church. What a Blessing.

This place is THE GEM in Murray Hill. I'm eating there or taking something out 3-4X a week. The breakfast offerings cannot be beat for Quality and PRICE. Omelettes, Bagel/Lox, Egg whites on Croissant... are all the best in the neighborhood. Homemade Soups, Panninis, Grilled Sandwiches and let's not even talk about the Pastries. YUM! The Coffees are PERFECTION. Best of All, are the People working there from the Owner on down are so nice. They know half the people coming by name. They care! Support small businesses like this. Finally, Real Homemade Pizza at $2.50/slice and a great monster burger with all the toppings, great fries and a drink for $11.99! RUN don't WALK. I've been waiting 10 years for a Cafe like this in Murray Hill

The station cafe is very exquisite, The service is very fast and the workers are so kind, Creating a warm full experience. The food is absolutely delicious, words can't even explain. I would definitely recommend you to visit the Station Cafe. It's to die for!!!

I went here. And let's just say....I was having a bad day. But you know what? Jack and Pedro really turned that around. Blessed me with immaculate matcha, friendly conversation, incredible service, and a delicious orange juice. The ambiance was unmatched and I truly felt welcome here. Come here for a good time and even greater drinks and food

The turkey and avocado croissant was divine! Iced coffee great too. Excellent service.

Went in to get an avocado toast the way it's advertised on the sign outside. I walk up to the counter and I place my order the gentleman is very pleasant asks how I like my eggs and then charges me. Then whoops forgets all about me. I sit down patiently waiting and when I look up I see that the worker isn't even making my avocado toast he's taking out garbage! With his hands! Without gloves! After that I wasn't touching that food cause he started handling coffee cups ... eww gross!

Absolutely stellar mocha latte, less sweet, more chocolate. Great place for coffee. Relaxing ambiance and nice staff. Bright, on the corner of a street so it has windows on two sides.
