Best Coffee Bars in New York: Add Your Favorite

Ditto on the above comment about Klatch. Used to go there almost
every day for my morning coffee when I worked nearby. They serve
local Porto Rico coffee (unless that has changed) and local pastries/
snacks from various places. The owner and staff were always really
nice too.

My Top 10 New York Ice Cream Scooperies

I won't say it's definitively Top 10 b/c there's a few places on your list I haven't tried, but next time you're in the East Village/Alphabet City, give Alphabet Scoop a shot.

They're at 545 East 11th St. (btwn Avenues A & B).

I had a half chocolate, half cookie dough cone there and it was delicious. They apparently make all of the flavors in a machine on the premises.

But the really interesting thing about this place is that they are apparently not-for-profit enterprise, who employ "at risk teens" from the neighborhood. They do this to keep those kids "off of the streets and away from gangs". Certainly sounds like a worthy cause.

Fairly priced, too. I believe a single scoop was around $2.60.
