You’re not just getting your caffeine fix. You’re stepping into a space where every wall tells a story, where local artists showcase their latest work, and where your morning coffee becomes part of a larger cultural conversation.
This is what happens when you choose substance over convenience. Instead of staring at your phone in another generic coffee chain, you’re engaging with original artwork, discovering new perspectives, and becoming part of SoHo’s ongoing artistic legacy.
You leave not just caffeinated, but inspired. Connected to something bigger than your daily routine.
We understand what makes SoHo special. While the neighborhood has evolved from its artist loft days, the creative spirit remains—and we’re here to honor it.
We’ve built relationships with emerging and established artists throughout the city. Our rotating exhibitions aren’t just decoration; they’re carefully curated showcases that give you access to work you won’t see anywhere else.
Located in the heart of SoHo, we’re part of a cultural ecosystem that includes galleries, studios, and creative spaces that have shaped New York’s art scene for decades. When you visit us, you’re connecting with that history while supporting today’s artists.
Walk in and you’ll immediately notice this isn’t your typical coffee shop. Original artwork covers the walls—paintings, photography, mixed media—all from local and emerging artists whose work rotates monthly.
Order your coffee from our knowledgeable staff who can tell you about the current exhibition. Many pieces are available for purchase, with information cards providing artist backgrounds and pricing.
Take your time. Browse the artwork. Read about the artists. Many of our regulars discover new favorites this way, and we’ve facilitated countless connections between collectors and artists. The experience is designed to be unhurried—a break from the city’s pace where art and coffee complement each other perfectly.

Every month brings new artwork from different artists, ensuring there’s always something fresh to discover. We feature everything from contemporary paintings and photography to experimental mixed media and sculpture.
Our artist spotlights include emerging talent from across New York’s creative communities. You might discover an artist before they hit the major galleries—several of our featured artists have gone on to museum exhibitions and international recognition.
SoHo’s unique position in New York’s art world means we attract both local regulars and international visitors. The neighborhood’s history as an artistic epicenter continues today, and our gallery serves as a bridge between that legacy and contemporary creativity. You’re not just visiting a coffee shop; you’re participating in SoHo’s ongoing cultural story.
We rotate our exhibitions monthly to keep the experience fresh and give more artists opportunities to showcase their work. Each new show features a different artist or theme, so there’s always something new to discover.
The changeover typically happens during the first week of each month. We announce new exhibitions on our social media and through our artist network, so you can stay updated on upcoming shows.
This rotation system means regular visitors get to experience the equivalent of twelve different art galleries throughout the year, all while enjoying their favorite coffee spot.
Yes, most of the artwork on display is available for purchase. Each piece includes information about the artist, the work’s title, medium, and pricing.
We work directly with the artists to facilitate sales, ensuring they receive fair compensation for their work. Our staff can provide additional details about any piece that interests you and can arrange the purchase process.
Many of our customers have started art collections this way, discovering artists early in their careers. We’ve seen pieces purchased from our walls later appear in major gallery shows and museum exhibitions.
We regularly host opening receptions for new exhibitions, typically on the first Friday evening of each month. These events give you the chance to meet the featured artists, learn about their work directly, and connect with other art enthusiasts.
The receptions are casual, welcoming events that reflect the community spirit we’re trying to foster. Artists often give brief talks about their work, and you can ask questions in a relaxed setting.
We also occasionally host artist talks, panel discussions, and other cultural events. These are announced through our social media channels and posted in the café, so check our current schedule when you visit.
We serve specialty coffee sourced from quality roasters, with options ranging from classic espresso drinks to seasonal specialties. Our baristas are trained to create both excellent coffee and latte art that complements the visual experience.
Food options include pastries, light sandwiches, and snacks that pair well with coffee and don’t interfere with art viewing. Everything is designed to be enjoyed while you browse the exhibitions.
We’ve found that the combination of quality coffee and engaging artwork creates a more memorable experience than either would alone. Many customers tell us they stay longer and return more frequently because of this unique atmosphere.
Absolutely. We’re positioned in the heart of SoHo’s cultural district, within walking distance of established galleries, museums, and cultural landmarks. The Drawing Center, various contemporary galleries, and artist studios are all nearby.
This location means you can easily make us part of a larger art-focused day in SoHo. Many visitors use us as a starting or ending point for gallery hopping, or as a place to discuss what they’ve seen over coffee.
SoHo’s compact layout means you can experience multiple cultural venues in a single visit. We’re happy to provide recommendations for other galleries and exhibitions currently showing in the neighborhood.
We work with a network of curators, art schools, and local artist communities to identify emerging talent and established artists whose work aligns with our space. Quality and originality are our primary criteria.
We particularly focus on artists who are developing their careers and can benefit from the exposure our location provides. Many are recent graduates from New York art schools or artists who are gaining recognition in the city’s art scene.
The selection process ensures variety in style, medium, and perspective. We want every exhibition to offer something different, whether it’s a solo show highlighting one artist’s development or a group exhibition exploring a particular theme or technique.
