In addition to Antique, another little hideaway place in the SoHo area which I frequent is the Coffee Assembly. (during Thursday to Sunday only because they are closed on the other 3 days) It is a cozy and clean environment for a coffee break, a chat or a moment for personal reflection. I love the sofa seats where you can really just sit back and relax. As the name suggests, it is purely a place for you to enjoy coffee. Of course they do offer a few food items, but coffee is the key here! Also,
I needed a moment of personal reflection during lunch break so there I was, arrived sharp at 1pm when they open for the day. I ordered an espresso made from their own TERRA - Earth blend. It was surprising smooth and soothing. I usually have their FUOCO - Fire blend but I personally prefer my selection today. If you want to check out the details of their blend, check out their website. Sorry to those latte art lovers, I did not order a latte today so no pictures of any latte art. I know I am being picky but if there can be more sunlight coming from windows, it would be a great place to spend a day on the weekend to just read under natural sunlight and have a few cups of great coffee.
Likes:
* Cozy environment
* Very friendly staff
* Great Coffee
Dislikes:
* Limited operating hours (a cup of great coffee in the morning would be nice, but I know I am asking too much ... haha)
* Can be very crowded (and a bit noisy) during weekends due to limited seating spaces
