Soho Tea & Coffee

Highly rated by hundreds of reviewers, this neighborhood coffee shop earns praise for friendly staff, a clean and welcoming atmosphere, and tasty food in generous portions. Regulars rave about the black coffee, the tea, and standout pastries like the zucchini banana chocolate bread, while a couple visiting from out of town noted that breakfast for two ran about average for the city. The vibe is laid-back and flexible, with comfy chairs and tables inside plus a patio for eating outdoors.

It's a solid pick for getting work done thanks to the WiFi and late hours, though the indoor seating tends to be quieter than the patio near the street. A few diners have mentioned slow or distracted service during busier moments, so it can pay to check in on an order. Overall, it suits anyone looking for a colorful, low-key place to linger over coffee, tea, beer or wine, and a casual bite.
