Yelp.com Review - by Matt D.

3.0 of 5 stars. Before you ask, "3 stars, WHAT GIVES?!" and send me mean messages, let me say that this USED to be my go spot for coffee when at work around the corner. However, this is no longer affiliated with the…

Think twice before setting up your wedding registry here!

I am amazed at the appalling level of service that this store offers. I own a lot of Alessi products and I think they are fantatstic, but clearly the staff at the Soho store have no training in basic customer...

Yelp.com Review - by nancy c.

4.0 of 5 stars. this place is very clean and modern and because it's hidden, it's a great place to grab a coffee or orangina and sit to rest your feet. there's a whole bunch of cute gadgety kitchen things.

a little disappointed

Sales people are a little aloof to regular people. I felt I walked into a designer private party. It is wrong to judge people by appearance. Don't even want to try their overpriced coffee.

Best Anywhere

The other user is completely wrong with this place. The espresso is DELICIOUS! Customer service could not be better. The barista and I had a pleasant conversation about the misconception of freezing coffee...

Bad Service, Burned Coffee, Not Recommended

I was at the store looking and touching everything for hours and received no greeting, no service. The two dudes didn't even look at my direction the moment I got in. Then I decided to sit down and buy a cup...

Yelp.com Review - by Teresa N.

3.0 of 5 stars. For the price of the coffee, I was a bit disappointed. Great atmosphere, but not a place I'd frequent often. The guy behind the counter was very nice. He let me sample the espresso and gave a good…

Yelp.com Review - by Arnold W.

4.0 of 5 stars. This place is a bit hidden on Greene Street. My friend raves about this place. I'm not very big on coffee, so you can just skip this review. I just drink coffee socially. However I must admit it's…

Yelp.com Review - by Austin V.

4.0 of 5 stars. Certainly some of the best "joe" in the nabe, but I can't give it 5 because of the sterile decor from their partners in the space (Alessi) and a slight decline in service. I find the design space…

Yelp.com Review - by Ro N.

5.0 of 5 stars. 10 years ago in Texas - I was trying to find a store that carries these whimsical salt & pepper shaker but never had any success until I moved to NY. I finally found them and ended up picking up some…

Yelp.com Review - by Lauren S.

4.0 of 5 stars. How delightfully obscure and off the beaten path. Not really my kind of vibe for the full coffee experience but if we're talking just java there is only one word needed here. Quality. Don't ask for Joe…

Yelp.com Review - by James S.

5.0 of 5 stars. Coffee at Joe @ Alessi is definitely the best you will find in SoHo, and perhaps one of the best of all NYC. The cappuccino is artfully crafted by skilled baristas one by one, which can lead to waits…

Yelp.com Review - by Alexander W.

5.0 of 5 stars. This review is exclusive to the implanted Joe's 'Art of Coffee' -- the Alessi component is great and all, but the coffee is what keeps me coming back. The robust and flavorful blends are the best…

Yelp.com Review - by Daisuke K.

5.0 of 5 stars. One of the coolest espresso bars I've been to! It looks like a set from '2001: A Space Odyssey.' I had the honor of meeting the owner, Jonathan Rubenstein. He made me a great macchiato with his…

Yelp.com Review - by Janice S.

5.0 of 5 stars. We came here for the espresso. What a treat! Ask for a "perc card," and your 11th drink is free. They have several locations under the name Joe - The Art of Coffee. All are different in atmosphere…

4.0 of 5 stars. Alessi products are pricey, but have all kinds of cool modern designs. The store has a shiny white interior and bright flourescent lighting - very cool but not such good lighting for showing off…

Yelp.com Review - by drea c.

5.0 of 5 stars. Loving all things Italian, the Alessi store does not disappoint. You've seen these products at Bergdorf's and the Cooper-Hewitt Museum store. From espresso cups and saucers in very clean modern…
