Nous Espresso - Broad Channel

I really like working in the grad student lounge, and Nous is a convenient place to grab small bites for lunch if you have access to this space. They offer all sorts of drinks as well (hot teas, hot and iced coffees, etc. . The amounts they give are pretty small, though. I got an iced chai latte with oatmilk, which was really sweet and I suspect prepared from concentrate, in a small cup that looks like the ones you get from university catered events, for over $5. Will I get another drink there just because it's so convenient and doing work can be a drag? Yeah, probably.

We popped into Bluestone Lane to grab a quick iced coffee before heading back into Central Park to explore the north end. We opted for the cold brew with a dash of oat milk and vanilla syrup. This came out and was the perfectly balanced iced coffee! The staff were also brilliant, super friendly and helpful, still providing a great service despite their AC being broken!

Located at Fayerweather Hall at Columbia University, Nous Espresso is not only convenient, but excellent in quality and service. I usually have a matcha latte or a regular coffee espresso latte and whatever I get is always enjoyable. I prefer oat milk and they comply with my request at a reasonable additional price. When it comes to food, they also have a selection of quality items. I like the tomato Muzz and the black forest ham with Swiss cheese sandwich is always delicious and fresh. There is also a selection of salads and pastas and pastries which I shall perhaps try one day but so far have not. The raspberry financier is not to be missed.

Food was great. Clean and neat. Missing a little pop. Coffee expresso was burnt. Similar to Starbucks. unexpected for this place.

I visited the Bluestone Lane cafe on the Upper West Side three times while in NYC in December 2021. The food and coffee is fantastic and the staff is very helpful and nice (shout out to TJ, she is the best! . I highly recommend the Draught Flat White with oat milk … so smooth and tasty! The breakfast bowl and the avocado smash are both excellent. I will definitely be visiting again.
