The Best Coffee Shops in NYC Open for Take-Out
*Updated January 2021*
One of the best things about living in NYC is the easy access to tons of delicious eateries.
Although the city looks a bit different these days, some of my favorite cafes are still open for takeout! I recently shared my roundup of the Best Treats You Can Still Get Delivered in NYC and today I’m focusing on one of my other favorites- COFFEE!
As I’m writing this, my list includes 15 coffee shops in NYC that are serving to-go drinks, but hopefully I’ll be able to add even more to this list soon!
P.S. I’m not listing opening hours & days as these seem to be changing quite a bit. Check the cafe’s Instagram or site before stopping by to confirm their opening times!
