Sey Coffee

Sey coffee is undoubtedly one of the finest roasters in America. They roast exceptionally lightly in the Scandinavian style. They always have a great selection of East African and Central American beans. I especially appreciate the pink bourbons they find and the Ethiopian coffees. Every box comes with a card that tells you exactly what you are drinking with some information about the farmer (Central America) or the Washing station (Africa). Worth a subscription to discover what they have come up with next.

Coffee roaster/cafe that lives up to the hype! I wish more cafes offered the option of choosing from a variety of coffees; reading the tasting notes and trying to detect hints of tropical fruits or chocolate was an absolute blast. They also sell a variety of coffees, each with a detailed explanation of the beans country of origin, farm, processing, and tasting notes. I can’t wait to visit again!

Can’t fault the coffee, the service, or the fit out. These guys epitomise the traits of specialty coffee, and feedback from my friend is that the subscription service is also wonderful. Filter roasts are typical, scandi-style light roasts, typically with balanced sweetness, sparkling acidity, but lighter on mouthfeel, with a focus on clarity. I also enjoyed a flat white here, which was creamy, nutty, and fruity - a very well executed beverage. Service on Saturday midday had a line out the door, but drinks came out quickly, beverages were tasty and consistent, and there was still seating space.

The best coffee shop in New York, by a country mile. What makes it so good is the combination of fruity beans, perfect milk amount, spot on drinking temperature and the way all these elements come together into the best cup of coffee. As if it couldn’t get any better it has a clinical chrome-warehouse-plant theme that just makes it a great place to come and stay for a few hours. You can also sit outside and just enjoy the relaxed setting. Its a breath of fresh to also have a “no gratuity policy”. Having that from the best quality place is just part of their charm.

Sey is being regarded as one of the best roasters in the US by many coffee lovers. The interior is spacious with high ceilings, excellent natural sunlight and greenery. It’s a perfect spot for working, with a clean bathroom and speedy wifi. Yet they only have a very limited laptop zone, which is the high table with approx 8 seatings facing the wall. ＊ Latte w/ Oat Milk, Raul Perez They rotate their beans on the menu on a regular basis. The coffee beans they used for espresso based drinks was from Raul Perez, with a hint of honey and citrus. The latte was bright, fruity, and very smooth. They also gave a cup of iced sparkling water on the side to cleanse your palate so you can fully enjoy the taste of your coffee. Well but let’s ignore the failed latte art. ＊ Mushroom Feta Danish They offer a couple of savory and sweet pastries. The danish was good in cafe’s standard, and served as a good accompaniment to enjoy your coffee. ＊ Mazateca Mujeres Suggested by their barista, I bought Mazateca Mujeres for making pour overs and lattes at home. All their beans are light roasted, so it is citrusy with subtle dark chocolate notes. The barista also reminded me to grind the beans finer than usual

The shop is so inviting, i personally love the roof window. A lot of people when i visited. You have a specific spot where you can use laptop, only few tables (not a work wise spot) Well thought presentation of the drinks, appreciate that they serve sparkling water with coffee. I think staff were nice but they were a little intimidating for a first visitor here 😅
