Quiet, tiny, right by the subway (F/R/G). Great staff, solid tea offering, great little sandwiches.
Smallish, comfortable, with a staff that relentlessly curates a strong indie soundtrack overhead, sometimes of the 90's variety. Good food, solid wifi.
Massive, packed, loud, but somehow awesome. A great variety of patrons, open til midnight, and even later on weekends.
No wifi, BUT best staff, best food, and GREAT foot back to back meetings. Try the Salmon Rösti. Secret bar in back of the kitchen on some nights.
Great wifi, great coffee, great staff. Out of the way, and therefor more of a neighborhood haunt of the authentic persuasion.
Gorgeous, and filled with tech folks having meetings or coding away. Expensive when it comes to dinner/drinks time.
Famous in the coffee shop working community long before it became famous through HBO's Girls. Greenpoint haunt with top coffee and tea, big tables, pleasant vibe.
Quiet, with no-laptop rule during certain busy hours. GREAT pastries, great coffee, great lunch bites, and near the waterfront for walking meetings.
Quiet, huge, out of the way. Great spot for brainstorms and focus sessions, but also for meetings.
Big, great food, coffee roasting done right there (which can be noisy), good internet, good seating, huge windows to stare our of longingly. Try the kale salad.
