"Delicious cappuccino, latte, bagel, almond croissant, you name it. Brandon was extremely welcoming and kind the first day we stopped by. The second time we were served by Murat, who was also very welcoming and a great conversationalist. This is what a coffeeshop should be like. Both baristas clearly know what they're doing, because after a week in NYC, this is by far the best coffee we've had. Smooth, flavorful, and delicious. Not milky, like many places make their cappuccinos. You can actually taste the coffee. The ambience of the place is fantastic. Small but very homey and decorated with goats, per the theme. We opted for the table facing the street. Brandon went for more of an instrumental piano jazz vibe on Sunday, while Murat went for a soulful blues/soft rock sound on a Tuesday morning. Perfect for writing! Today, I got some postcards done :)"

"I visited The Jolly Goat back in May when I was in New York and was so excited to come back again this fall! I never thought I could drink my coffee black without any milk but I was pleasantly surprised with their house coffee. It tasted so smooth without a hint of bitterness. I was happy to buy more of their beans. This place is the reason I am picky about coffee now! Also the owner is such a kind person and he is truly passionate about his coffee. It made our day!"

"Currently I’m an owner of a coffee shop in Wheatland, CA. The Jolly Goat caught our eye just from the name and it definitely did not disappoint. The environment was very welcoming, and as soon as we got to the counter, the barista did an amazing job of taking our order, welcoming us to the area, as well as making an amazing cup of coffee. Our only downside was that there was not wearable merch for us to buy to represent the Jolly Goat while back in California. We will definitely be visiting again during our next trip to New York!!"

"I was in NYC for work, and had been there for DAYS without a decent cup of coffee. During a lunch break at the conference, I googled coffee shops nearby. This one was not only the closest, but I tell it was smaller and tucked away. Those are almost ALWAYS the best quality places. The barista was also the owner. He asked me how I made my coffee at home, and whipped up a latte for me based on my preferences. He told me how he roasts his own beans & personally oversees the ingredients he uses. Walking back to the conference, I took a sip & stopped mid-step and uttered an expletive because it was just THAT GOOD. Served at perfect drinking temperature, it tasted like autumn joy and happiness. I went there once more before the conference ended, and I was sad I couldn't bring it home with me 🤣"

"We have been loyal customers at the Jolly Goat for years since we moved to the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood. They have the best espresso coffee in the whole NYC. All of their baristas know how to make proper espresso drinks, and you will get a good cup guaranteed!"
