Art-filled coffee sanctuaries where Heesco's vibrant murals create gallery-worthy backdrops for serious coffee appreciation. This NYC-based roastery elevates the daily caffeine ritual with meticulously sourced La Colombe blends and barista artistry that turns each cup into a small masterpiece. The cozy spaces blend urban sophistication with neighborhood warmth, featuring curated vinyl from Pancake Records and books from Huemanbooks. Whether you need a quiet work corner or energizing atmosphere, these locations capture the pulse of each neighborhood while delivering consistently exceptional coffee.

Ground Central

If you want to meet a Broadway musician, stop by Ground Central on any two-show day. The coffee is great, and it's always a good spot to catch up with fellow musicians killing time between shows.

There are many great coffee shops in Hell’s Kitchen, but Ground Central has a special place in my heart for two reasons. The first reason being they have a cozy lounge / seating room that is perfect for small group gatherings. I love the staff’s book list and display. The soft leather armchairs would be great for someone to sip coffee and read. The other important reason is that they carry a variety of delicacies from local food providers, including scones from my friend’s bakery shop “The Hungry Gnome”! I love a cold brew with extra oat milk, and a blueberry white chocolate scone. My life is complete with these two in my hands.

Three words: peanut butter latte. Ground Central is the only place I know that makes a PB latte, and it’s delicious. It’s always the perfect temperature — not too hot — and the staff is always warm and welcoming. As it turns out, there is another Jill who orders a PB latte, but my barista calls me the “OG Jill.” What’s better than that?

I love the backroom sitting area with the leather couches, listening in on strangers’ conversations.
