What customers say

The vibes in Variety Coffee Roasters is really chill and the service is friendly. You can smell the roasted coffee bean from outside. It was crowded when we visited but the wait wasn’t bad on a Saturday afternoon. We tried their coffee and cold brew.

Coffee is excellent, I’ve ordered a flat white and latte there, both had great texture and lovely latte art from the baristas! The beans they use haves notes of fruit and chocolate, nicely pulled and balanced espresso. Also they offer vanilla simple syrup along with regular simple syrup which is a fun plus!

Beautiful coffee place on the busy Upper East Side, 86th n Lex. Came in here for a mini coffee break after a long day of work. Ordered the classic Americano, very good espresso, nice aroma. Very relaxing environment accompanied by soft background music.

★★★★☆ — Sonia, 2023-01

Variety Coffee Roasters is a fantastic coffee spot! The espresso is smooth and rich, and the cappuccino is perfectly balanced with creamy milk and bold flavor. The space has a relaxed, neighborhood vibe, and the staff are friendly and welcoming. A great place to grab quality coffee and unwind.”
