A cup of sour iced coffee : $6According to Coffee Magazine,Sour coffee comes down to two things: (1) bad beans and (2) bad brewing. If the beans are under-roasted, they'll taste grassy and sour. If they're old and stale, they'll have a really sharp lemony flavor.

Friendly service and great coffee as always! :)

The coffee is better than average, but I'm always disappointed that I cannot get a pour over, given that they pride themselves on roasting their own beans. Like most specialty spots, the emphasis is on espresso-based drinks and brewed coffee is an afterthought.

This is my favorite coffee shop on the UES. The baristas are all friendly and the coffee is absolutely delicious. If you’re looking for the perfect cappuccino or flat white, this is your place; and their house made non-dairy milk options are the healthiest options around!

Watered down flat white (12oz) with oat milk, and not hot. Service is friendly.

This coffee shop is so delightful! It truly made my day coming here. I only shared a coffee with a friend but as soon as you walk in, the energy is great. The staff is welcoming, its neatly organized and nicely decorated. The note I found after a few sips, truly put a smile on my face. Thank you Birch. I definitely will be back and I highly recommend.

A simple place in both décor and menu choice. That's meant in a good way. The cozy, quaint atmosphere you'd find in Duchess County without the MetroNorth hike with all the convenience of Manhattan right off of Third Avenue.

My favorite place to get a coffee and a pastry when I’m visiting family in the neighborhood. Staff are great. UES location is a bit tight for having a coffee to stay but the outside seating is a nice option.

My new favorite coffee spot in the neighborhood ? Ordered a delicious chai with 2% milk and it was the perfect temperature (which is rare I love my hot drinks very hot) and the chai taste was perfectly sweet and spicy ?

Really tasty coffee, cute little shop. Not a lot of space for sitting so more of a grab and go place, or you can sit outside on the covered patio.

Very slow service and terrible layout if you want to dine in. Coffee is ok. Not a place I would eagerly want to visit again.
