Local coffeehouse chain serving thoughtfully-sourced, house-roasted brews in a hip, bustling space.
From Google Maps reviews.
Over the moon that Birch finally opened a location in the Grand Central area!! Their cold brew is actual perfection with a tiny splash of milk and I love that they have simple syrup out for customers to self serve. I used to buy growlers of the cold brew to have at home but now that I have a Birch so close to work I am happy to go every day :)
This is my favorite coffee shop in the area and I visit it almost every day! The drinks are great and the staff is very friendly and kind. The service is always fast and reliable. I highly recommend their mochas.
Let me be the first to review this location! It was excellent as always. I don’t even live in NYC, but every time I visit I’m on the hunt for Birch Coffee because it’s truly the best coffee shop. The added bonus at this location was the wonderful New Yorker, John-Luke (forgive me if I’m spelling his name wrong!). An excellent barista and an even better conversationalist. Highly recommend this new location!
