Only Rebirth could get me to come to Blue Note.

Only Rebirth could get me to come to Blue Note.
They cram way too many people in here. $35 for table seating (first come first serve regardless of the fact that we purchased these tix months ago) which means my husband and I have strangers breathing in our drinks and in our necks.
And ps. My waitress is BEYOND rude.

This place is pretty cool because of the owner (Hugh Jackman) and the story behind it. It s a neat little spot right in the middle of Tribeca. I was a little let down because the coffee was nothing out of the ordinary, but it was cool to have gone there.

I'm always a fan of Laughing Man Coffee and this shop is no exception. It's pretty small catering to people who want it on the go. There's no seating inside, but there are a few benches just outside. Since they serve a working crowd mainly, they are very efficient. As you wait in line, they'll ask you your order so it's ready before you get up to the

Love this place! I come here roughly once a week for a cortado (they usually serve it with two shots of espresso) but my coworkers will also often ask me to pick up a honey lavender latte when they hear that I am walking over. It is also the perfect spot for enjoying the outdoors because they have a nice outdoor seating area right next to a quiet street. If you are really lucky then you may even see Hugh Jackman dropping by. If you ever watch the film about Laughing Man then you can find out about how Hugh befriended a coffee farmer to eventually lead to this company.

Delicious coffee - flat white, Hugh s recommendation, did not disappoint. At least in this location, though, the space got a little cramped. They might also consider getting heat sleeves that work on their smallest sizes.

I randomly stumbled on the place while I was scootering to the WTC path train. Was feeling tired and decided I needed a coffee, which is weird for me as I don't drink coffee since it makes me sick to my stomach and jittery.

Much to my surprise the ice coffee I got was really really good (which is saying a lot for me as i don't like coffee!). Don't know how they did but it also didn't make me feel sick or jittery. Just very smooth and nutty. An iced coffee and a biscotti was like $5.50 I think, which I don't believe is an unreasonable price in NYC (but I may wrong... again, I don't ever really drink coffee). I've made it a habit to stop by once a week or so to get an iced coffee because it really was that good (again, huge thing for me as I don't like coffee).

The place isn't really a sit down place due to the size, but they do have a couple chairs out front and a dog water bowl if you have a pet with you.

The reason I'm not giving a 5 star is because they don't have a menu, which kind of throws me. When I went in and asked for one, the guy behind the counter told me that they didn't have one and that I just tell him what I want and he gets it for me. While I appreciate the dedication to customer service, its difficult for me to know what to ask for in the first place without actually knowing what my options are. I'm pretty sure they have more there than just one flavor of coffee (or even more than just iced coffee) however i have no idea as there is no menu.

It's such a great space to have a drink or breakfast or sandwich and people-watch in an awesome space. Jerome the barista, was really impressive and pleasant to talk with. The place was so comforting and cozy. The egg bites here are similar to what you can get to a famous coffee shop but cheaper, bigger, fresher, and way better!

Hand down - the best coffee in this part of the world!

If you want to have a well crafted coffee, around beautiful and positive people, in a top location - that s the place.

I love how they serve all kinds of coffee types (alternative milks, matcha and what not) and each cup is crazy tasty!

It s usually a busy place with a queue, but it s always worth the wait.

Best enjoyed early in the morning followed by a walk around the river.

One great cup of coffee, but not much space to have it. Luckily in the summer months they have the outside seating, but I wonder what will happen in the winter? The place literally holds four people comfortably standing up, but they take orders for 12, some opting to wait for their name to be called due to claustrophobia.

Crowded

Hugh Jackman appears to have tried his hand somewhat successfully when he entered the espresso game in the extremely competitive environment of downtown New York City. Laughing Man Coffee and Tea is an absolute hole in the wall that consistently delivers high quality products. The small size of the cafe means that drinks can roll out only so fast, but it is definitely worth the wait - if you're a fan of lattes, try their flat white, an Australian riff off of the same beverage. Good stuff.

One of the best coffees you can find in NYC and potentially on the east coast. Small little place with quick and nice staff. Coffee is really superb and fresh. They also sell different baked goods to accompany the coffee.

As a Londoner, the ubiquitous Flat White is my number one choice of caffeinated beverage and Grumpy Coffee sure as hell don't know how to make one so I schlepped across town to Laughing Man (the clue to coffee satisfaction may be in the names here folks) knowing that being part owned by an Antipodean it would probably be a safe bet. I wasn't disappointed. The tiny coffee that is big on taste was perfectly made with a velvety crema and served at a decent temperature. The staff were delightful and chatted happily to me about the coffee beans from Ethiopia, a place close to my heart and not because it's a charity case but because it is a truly beautiful country with a proud heritage of possibly the best beans in the world. Bravo Barry and David Steingard and Mr Jackman for putting all of this together in such a neat package - from my point of view, the best coffee in New York.

Laughing Man is Hugh Jackman s give back brand which is how I found out about it. I ordered an oat latte which was amazing both in the rich flavor of the coffee, prep, and latte art! Space is small (but expanding soon into a sit down) and I wish I knew more about the signature lattes which were kind of hidden on a different menu on the right, but all-in-all I would stop back and grab a cup again.

*Also note this is a far-trade brand and eco-friendly. The designer in me loves the ridges in the cups and that it is still sturdy and less waste.

This place is a must go to for any coffee but especially 'wait for it' the honey lavender latte. Just the right amount of sweetness and the most delicious delicate and 'real' coffee!! Don't miss it ..,

My daughter and I had hot chocolate here. The only place I've been so far that the hot chocolate doesn't come with whip cream, the way I like it. The entire cafe is about 100 sqft. A two person wood bench inside facing directly at the barista and most seatings are outside. The baristas are very friendly and polite. We didn't really go there for the hot chocolate. I'm a huge fan of Hugh Jackman.

Favorite coffee shop in Tribeca! It's a small shop with outdoor seating during the warmer season. The employees are very friendly and make it a comfort stop for me while I wait for the drink. It's pretty popular so it can get crowded but the drinks come fairly quickly. They also sell nicely packaged sweets/snacks that are delicious!

Excellent coffee

We have been wanting to go here since it opened. We finally made it...quick stop! We will definitely be back when in the city!! My husband really enjoyed his simple drip black coffee! The coffee temperature and the taste was perfect per my hubby. I had the turmeric latte and that was amazing! My turmeric latte was the perfect drinking temperature...the milk froth was delicious. We also had a plain croissant and my hubby had the cheese and ham croissant. Both were delicious! The place is a pretty and simple coffee shop! Can t wait to go back and sit down to have another latte. They have two specialty lattes which I would like to try. The staff was also very nice and friendly!! On top of that the coffee shop was started by Hugh Jackman with a purpose. Can t wait to return!!

I visited the town with two friends. I was asking some locals for a recommendation for good coffee and was directed to this shop. The dark chocolate mocha hit the spot, and the breakfast was delicious! They have everything from breakfast to dinner, and the daily specials are a great choice if you are not sure what you want.

What a fantastic discovery ! This charming little coffee spot doesn't seem to have a menu or even much of a shop (I've seen closets larger than this) and yet their friendly service, awesome coffee and charming little makeshift terrace make it irrefutably memorable. I'm only disappointed that I discovered this place as tbr temperatures are dropping.

Great coffee! 1st visit here. Got a cappuccino and it was delicious. We love trying out all the various local coffee shops in NYC, and I would definitely come back. It s a small space. No seating inside but has a cute little seating area outside if weather allows. Also read up about the coffee shop / Laughing Man Foundation HJ started. Great mission! Didn t know they sold k-cups so will have to buy those as well! Makes me admire HJ even more!!!

Definitely my favorite donut place starting today. Not your traditional donut, bigger, less greasy, more bagel like and the crunchy chocolate topping was amazing. Coffee was great too. Follow Instagram @SirDiceEatsALot for more food posts and reviews.

If you re lucky, you might see the boss man himself. Careful why you wish for as he s been known to stop by and sing a tune or two.

Highly recommend the lavender latte if you re looking for something unique.
