Not renowned for being a hot spot for great coffee, the Upper West Side now has a burgeoning scene with stalwarts like Stumptown’s of Flatiron and the Blue Bottles of Brooklyn. Whether you are you looking for the most robust espresso or an electrifying cold brew, the Upper West Side has plenty of independent third-wave coffee shops and farm-to-table roasteries from which to choose.
