Reviews of Laughing Man Coffee (Coffee Shop)

Donna Marie

Great coffee, friendly staff. Only wish there where sitting room. But definatly worth a try!

Robin De Leon

Best cbd mocha ever

Daniel Baird

Hugh Jackman's affiliation could be seen as a gimmick at first, but the coffee here is really quite good. They make a *real* flat white that is excellent.

Emily Godwin

I loved this place and am so glad I took the time to stop here. As someone who looks for ways to be eco-friendly and help our planet. Hugh Jackman really knocked this one out of the park. I had a soya chai latte which was amazing and even managed to pick up some coffee as gifts for family.

Alisa Belova

Great coffee

Chris M

Great coffee. Decent price. The people are really nice and quick to help. It's a small place so you may wait outside and customers can be slow to adjust to a "flow of traffic" but it's a minor quibble.

al Wong

Hole in the wall coffee shop with great coffee.

Zandrea Penn

Really cute little shop. Great coffee, treats, and other things

Michelle Funai

Perfectly executed coffee & excellent service!

Szymon Szczepanski

Amazing coffee.

Yuliya Shneyderman

If you like your coffee with a side of doing good, this is the place to be

Kaisu Wong

Fantastic flat white!

Jason Braun

Their cup says it perfectly, ‘All be happy’.

Jorge Kelly

The food is amazing.

David Ali

Great coffee and great outdoor seating when the weather is nice

Uziel Jimenez

This dog was parked near Laughing Man. He was asking for directions. Anyways, the coffee here is good. I saw Casey Neistat around here once.

Bernard K

Love their coffee, teas and biscotti. Now for the warmer months they also have nice outdoor seating. Definitely come here for coffee if you are in the TriBeCa area.

Nadine Linville

Our server was very pleasant and attentive.

Lynore Laws

Great coffee! Plus, Hugh Jackman donates the profit to Laughing Man organization. Makes me feel better about spending $6.

Phillip Wilson

Would definitely recommend!!

Sunny Day

I have never bin there, but i really want to. And mabye Hugh Jackman is there

Nik Juhasz

Great coffee, great public seating right out front.

George Giannou

Fantastic coffee, great concept, Hugh Jackman rocks. Even has a nice patio you can relax on.

Don Holio

Have had them all. Best Kcups out there. 184 Duane St. is the best!!!!!

Sarah Sapp

Hated how small it was, but it is Manhattan

Anna O'Bryan

Very small shop, but great coffee and snacks to go.

Laura Sharpe

Delicious muffin. Good coffee, but not as great as hoped for, for an Australian-owned cafe.

Joseph Bartlett

Great place, excellent service. Outside seating is pretty cool; however if you're looking for indoor seating - you won't find it here. Good lattes.

Shihong Zhang

Lovely café. The flat white is really good.

James Baber

Well made Cortado -- they do a very good job here -- just not my style of coffee flavor. Leaned towards fruity and raisins whereas I prefer more dark chocolate and nutty notes; I definitely prefer when an espresso bar offers both options.

Troy Dunnavant

Fantastic staff, great coffee...definately worth the trip!

Adam Grandt

Good coffee. Tiny place with some public seating outside.

方蘭生

Can not resist going here. The single origin cups of coffee are so good here. It quite possibly my favorite coffee shop anywhere.

Mindy Ramirez

Great coffee! 1st visit here. Got a cappuccino and it was delicious. We love trying out all the various local coffee shops in NYC, and I would definitely come back. It’s a small space. No seating inside but has a cute little seating area outside if weather allows. Also read up about the coffee shop / Laughing Man Foundation HJ started. Great mission! Didn’t know they sold k-cups so will have to buy those as well! Makes me admire HJ even more!!!

Damian Samolej

Tasty coffee, friendly staff and perfect vibe. Must go during warm seasons!

Raktim Barua

Omg, they make some strong coffee

Anthony Arauco

Very gentle staff and they had what i was looking for ages a bit pricey but well worth it

Hannah Tetuan

Amazing company and great coffee too!

Vanessa Palencia

I got the Flat White with oat milk, and it did not disappoint! It was so smooth and strong enough without being bitter. The cups are a bit small, but I'm assuming it has to do with it being a "for charity" coffee place. But otherwise, it was a nice experience.

Lilian Veras

Great coffee and croissants. All for a good cause.

Gordon Hall

They make proper coffee and espresso based drinks. They are professionals, unlike Starbucks' garbage sugar drink.

Bethany Davidson

Great coffee! Got an iced mocha and the espresso is fantastic. Friendly enough baristas and the store was very neat. Neighborhood is great, but wish they had a little more seating in shaded areas. I read for a few hours to out front to kill time before a flight and if you're a fan of dogs or watching children be led by on leashes, this is the spot for you! >_<

Sveta Storchak

Great coffee! I got honey lavender latte and it was absolutely delicious. Excellent location, but I wash they had little more seating space.

Stelian Nenkov

Hand down - the best coffee in this part of the world! If you want to have a well crafted coffee, around beautiful and positive people, in a top location - that’s the place. I love how they serve all kinds of coffee types (alternative milks, matcha and what not) and each cup is crazy tasty! It’s usually a busy place with a queue, but it’s always worth the wait. Best enjoyed early in the morning followed by a walk around the river.

Ines C.

The best coffee in Tribeca!!!

Christopher Barrett

This place is truly awesome

parth soni

Good coffee!!

Ronnie T.

This place is pretty cool because of the owner (Hugh Jackman) and the story behind it. It’s a neat little spot right in the middle of Tribeca. I was a little let down because the coffee was nothing out of the ordinary, but it was cool to have gone there.

Simon Bagg

Lovely small shop with wooden seats outside. Good selection, as an Englishman this was a perfect place for a tea wandering around Tribeca.

Carla Rupp

Delicious coffee. Nice outdoor seating. Tribeca.

Darcy K

Decent coffee but not much better/different than most coffee shop premium beans. Happy to support the cause here, though. Note - to be environmentally friendly, they need to serve coffee in ceramic cups, not paper, for those who want to sit outside and sip their cup.

T F

Good coffee. They can actually make a skinny flat white which is refreshing in NYC! Chilled seating area outside to watch the world go by.

david tippett

We come all the way from Australia and had to visit and have a laughing Man Coffee. Didn't get to see Hugh Jackman but the coffee was very good, do much we visited twice

Mike Scarna

A little friendly coffee shop with some outdoor seating!

Dev Master

Really good coffee. Not bitter. Very smooth. There was a line when we went but was worth it.

Janice Hsu

Coffee is delicious ! There is a tiny outside area to sit and enjoy coffee. If your lucky maybe you will see Hugh here

Daniel Gottlieb

best spro in town

Robert Jarrett

Great coffee and pastry selection!

l1nkrulz

Every time I walk in this place, it is FULL of bees. No, I don't mean there is 1-2 bees hanging out outside the door, I mean at least 5-6 bees are buzzing around inside the restaurant around the counter, sugar and milk, and most importantly, my coffee!!

Matthew Gantz

Laughing Man has a mean (read: great) espresso, with plenty of options and a friendly crew. The shop is just a tiny little dent in its building, but their coffee is a good way to start the day.

Ermal Dudushi

Great flat whites. Rest is standard fare.

Christiaan Perez

Love this place! I come here roughly once a week for a cortado (they usually serve it with two shots of espresso) but my coworkers will also often ask me to pick up a honey lavender latte when they hear that I am walking over. It is also the perfect spot for enjoying the outdoors because they have a nice outdoor seating area right next to a quiet street. If you are really lucky then you may even see Hugh Jackman dropping by. If you ever watch the film about Laughing Man then you can find out about how Hugh befriended a coffee farmer to eventually lead to this company.

Dikkie Engelen

Very good Lavender Latte Honey, friendly staff. Cute little coffee place, no indoor seating available.

Adam Kendrick

The coffee is excellent. Plan on taking your order to go, because space is very limited.

Tim Miner

One great cup of coffee, but not much space to have it. Luckily in the summer months they have the outside seating, but I wonder what will happen in the winter? The place literally holds four people comfortably standing up, but they take orders for 12, some opting to wait for their name to be called due to claustrophobia.

franklin de jesus

I can say is the best in the city

Christopher Schultz

Great place with a even better mission. Lattes are creamy and strong

Vitalii Skakun

HJ’s instagram brought me here. After reading about Laughing Man Foundation I immediately went there. Fantastic little place with a nice outdoor seating. Great tasting coffee. Almond Chocolate croissant is a must try!

andrew saetern

Not only are you buying delicious coffee, you're supporting the Laughing Man Foundation every time you make a purchase. I was extremely excited to be able to come to NYC and make a purchase in support of Hugh Jackman's amazing work. I highly encourage everyone to read up on the amazing things that Laughing Man is doing. Hugh Jackman is making the world a better place on the big screen and around the world. The coffee shop is very small, but they've utilized the space very well. You'll notice that their pastries are stored tightly along the wall. Other item are fancily package and in their little coolers below. It's pretty cool. My Cold Brew and Almond Croissant were both delicious. The Cold Brew is strong, which any coffee drinker will appreciate. Smooth too. I'm not sure where the pastries come from, but they were delicious and fresh. It's a grab and go type of coffee shop (express, if you want to call it that). They also have seating outside, which is great for a nice day. In cold weather, I doubt anyone wants to be sitting out there. Check out my photo. It was particularly nice on this day. I'll be making multiple visits while in NYC. Still have to check out their Lavender Latte or the Flat White. Did someone say smooth? I'm there!!!

Michael Schueppert

My favorite place in the city. Especially in summer when the terrace is a great place.

Michael McHugh

One of the few places I've found to get good Aussie style coffee in NYC

Snehesh S

Definitely my favorite donut place starting today. Not your traditional donut, bigger, less greasy, more bagel like and the crunchy chocolate topping was amazing. Coffee was great too. Follow Instagram @SirDiceEatsALot for more food posts and reviews.

Melissa Lewis

This place became one of my fav to hang out. It's a chill and quiet place to come by myself or with my friends and have coffee. Their pistachio latte is soo good! They also have beans on the counter for you to smell and pick out. Even if you dont know a lot about coffee youll be able to find your preference easily. Definitely recommended.

Sandy Jackson

Probably one of the best places in NYC. Started many morning s here. And now that I am back to the city, planning to start many more mornings here.

Kate D

The best Australian coffee in NYC

Neil Allender

Motivational story with great execution and even better coffee. I had the Cappuccino and it was perfect!

Denise Slifer

This place is a must go to for any coffee but especially 'wait for it' the honey lavender latte. Just the right amount of sweetness and the most delicious delicate and 'real' coffee!! Don't miss it ..,

Gordon Watson

Nice strong coffee, good atmosphere inside.

Naqi Sheriff

Exquisite quality coffee and very friendly and welcoming team. I tried it first time ... definitely coming back. Also looking forward to trying Morning breakfast items like cookies and crossaint

Kevin Lovingood

Got a very good iced Americano for a decent price and a chocolate donut! Happy to support the farmers who supply the beans. The seating outside the cafe was a nice touch to sit and relax

Austin Graff

I'm always a fan of Laughing Man Coffee and this shop is no exception. It's pretty small catering to people who want it on the go. There's no seating inside, but there are a few benches just outside. Since they serve a working crowd mainly, they are very efficient. As you wait in line, they'll ask you your order so it's ready before you get up to the

Miguel R

Best Coffee in TriBeCa!

Anthony Edwards

No complaints! Great coffee shop with seats right outside the shop. This place is TINY, but really good. They serve all of your coffee/espresso staples, plus what looks like some seasonal variations (think lavender lattes, etc.). I had a cortado and stuck around the shop to sip it on some conveniently placed seats outside. I'd definitely return if in the Tribeca area.

Atsuko Yagi

Favorite coffee shop in Tribeca! It's a small shop with outdoor seating during the warmer season. The employees are very friendly and make it a comfort stop for me while I wait for the drink. It's pretty popular so it can get crowded but the drinks come fairly quickly. They also sell nicely packaged sweets/snacks that are delicious!

Gamble Bonnies

This coffee shop is hidden in the alley near Montgomery. I was looking for this coffee shop and passed by it twice. It might be hard to find but I love the neighborhood. It's a small tiny coffee shop. The coffee is good. You can sit outside in front with your friends. And the coffee cup is cute!

Amanda Ward

Best coffee experience I've had in awhile. Great choices of interesting blends. And if you're especially fortunate you'll get Jake to make your coffees. Hands down the most friendly barista I've ever encountered.

Delta Grier

Very simple review. Fabulous almond lattes. The best. Food selection not very good, but their focus is clearly coffee.

Jay Kim

A small coffee shop with a cute outdoor seating area with artificial grass. The coffee here is good, but a little on the pricey side. Some of the pre-made drinks have interesting flavor combinations. I tried the iced white chocolate lavender mocha. It was subtly sweet and smooth. An added plus: the shop, which is owned by Hugh Jackman, donates all the proceeds to charity.

Zach M.

How can you have a coffee that's this good & only have 2 locations?? Please answer. Great location, amazing coffee. I stopped going to what I considered the best NYC coffee shop (colombe) & started coming here.

valerialaura

Best flat white I had in Manhattan. Plus fast and friendly service :)

Molly Shelestak

Tiny little coffee shop owned by Hugh Jackman. Brilliant flat whites made by charismatic baristas. All profits are donated to the Laughing Man Foundation. I wouldn't want to spend my money anywhere else on coffee. Too bad I don't live here else I'd come all the time.

David Buckle

Excellent coffee. A very compact shop with some seating outside to watch the world go by. It has the usual extras you can buy like cake, biscotti, coffee

William Turner

Nice atmosphere and great food. Seating is a little limited.

Leigh Bebb

Nice flat white coffee and massive donuts. Friendly servers but very small!

Carylon Christina

Such a peaceful relaxing cafe with good coffee that smells amazing ( has a perfect aroma) and quite tasty! Highly recommend stopping by to relax and have a good coffee.

Marc Zuccaro

Love this place. Cool shop, coffee is good, but the people watching is pretty epic. Great job with outdoor seating.

Ana Ateca

Best coffee in the city!! They also have oat milk! Staff is super friendly and they have a sitting area outside which is very cost and always has people chilling. Def recommended!!

MC Electrical

Best coffee I've had in the U.S. A real double shot flat white at last! (Second best was the coffee bags I brought from Australia.) Bagel was good too. This place should be packed out but no-one was there. Reading the reviews below it seems Hugh Jackman owns it. Nice work as always Hugh!

Jen Fraenkel

What a fantastic discovery ! This charming little coffee spot doesn't seem to have a menu or even much of a shop (I've seen closets larger than this) and yet their friendly service, awesome coffee and charming little makeshift terrace make it irrefutably memorable. I'm only disappointed that I discovered this place as tbr temperatures are dropping.

Sarah Doherty

As Melburnians desperate for a good coffee we trekked all the way across town to try this place. Was not disappointed. Lovely staff making a superb coffee. Strayan's - specifically Melburnians - get on it!!

Sean Logan

Really nice place very welcoming staff!!! Love the coffee really recommend it l! I got the vanilla latte and really enjoyed it.

theoducati

Nice little spot, but my cappuccino was nothing special. Can't compare blue bottle coffee.

Anne Perry

First time to visit the cafe. The atmosphere was cool as a cucumber and the staffs were very friendly, made me a good coffee. Had the Flat White Coffee and it's very delicious, not too sweet & perfect temperature. They have also good selection of freshly baked goodies like Chocolate Almond Croissant which is perfect pair for your coffee. a little pricey, but worth the money. I'll definitely back again.

Mara Chomsky

One of the best flat whites in Tribeca. The baristas are always friendly, and there is usually some fun music playing. Great coffee spot!

J L

This cute little coffee shop does not come close to the best coffee I've had, but the flat white is decent enough. Barista is very friendly. Outdoor sitting area with wood benches and artificial grass underneath is lovely too.

Mean Burn

Enjoyed the coffee. Cute shop.

Richard Jarman

We are never disappointed!

Kevin Ramirez Ayala

Excellent coffee Hugh Jackman You’re the man It’s a small place but in excellent condition and excellent staff I will come back

Toni Malle

Excellent cappuccino, really nice place, very clean and modern.

Charlie Hammack

Good coffe

Michael Heck

One of my favorite coffee shops!

Duncan Schieb

Love Laughing Man Coffee- It is the Australian connecting to coffee... and it is owned by Hugh Jackman and his awesome partners.

Hélène Tran

Good coffee in the area and staff is outstanding! A great go-to for quick, good coffee and great service.

Beatrice Wong

A fun little coffee place with few outdoor seating. Seasonal flavours.

Victor Kuang

Literally nook on the street. Very quick service. Had the Americano, was quite alright

Aal Fiis

Me and a friend stopped by for a quick coffee break... the taste of my latte was amazingly unique. Good service!

Emily Nikoo

Tiny shop, but with spring here there is significant seating outside in a nice area. Try something new, so many options to choose from.

Christian Brumm

Amazing place to grab a flat white, especially in the summer. Just beautiful sitting in front of the cafe and enjoying the sun.

Nicholas Steinhoff

Excellent food.

Tee M

Cute little café serving delicious lattes for a good cause.

Dorothy Stone

Food is always consistency great.

Armand Gerstenberger

Ordered black coffee ($3). Smokey with good body, but average flavor. Not worth the price

Daniel Carr

Small but stylish shop, great drink offerings along with some cool merchandise and other products.

Abdullah Hakoun

Good coffee, great view of the city! In a lively area of Manhattan

Rich Grabowicz

Tiny spot with some outdoor seating. Great coffee, even better espresso.

Sylvia JZ

It was too pricey

Ana Lucia Varon Ocampo

Their chai latte is nicely spiced and not too sweet

Jacopo Prisco

Maybe I don’t understand Australian coffee, but I had the most undrinkable cortado ever in here. I had to throw it out.

Richard Van Patten

One of best tasting coffee I've had. Excellent choice of beans.

Ido Naim

One of the best coffees you can find in NYC and potentially on the east coast. Small little place with quick and nice staff. Coffee is really superb and fresh. They also sell different baked goods to accompany the coffee.

Britnee Ganster

Tiny little shop with excellent coffee.

Lee Tilghman

delicious iced oat milk lattes!!! they use oatly too... best out milk imo

Carli Carey

I had high expectations when I entered Laughing Man with my husband for the first time, after so much social media hype. Thankfully, I was not disappointed! The coffee and hot chocolate here is nothing short of masterful. Hot drinks ready to drink when handed to you, and full of a fragility of flavor that makes you stop for a minute to appreciate the combination of warmth and taste. I half expected to pay a premium for such premium drinks, but no, the prices seem almost too low for the quality! Last but not least, the staff are wonderfully personable, and greet everyone with a smile! I highly recommend Laughing Man for service and quality!

Isabel Schading

Sweet little spot with amazing coffee.. oh so good

Oscar Garcia

Kind of confusing order process but some of the best coffee I've ever tasted, shout-out to Hugh!

Joe Woo

Hugh Jackman appears to have tried his hand somewhat successfully when he entered the espresso game in the extremely competitive environment of downtown New York City. Laughing Man Coffee and Tea is an absolute hole in the wall that consistently delivers high quality products. The small size of the cafe means that drinks can roll out only so fast, but it is definitely worth the wait - if you're a fan of lattes, try their flat white, an Australian riff off of the same beverage. Good stuff.

Makenzi Medlin

It is a very small and busy cafe, but the staff was very helpful and kind despite that. My coffee came out fast even though it was realllly crowded. Good coffee, a bit weaker but I am used to extra strong coffee, so that my comment with a grain of salt. Prices weren't too much and the profits go towards coffee farmer families, which i like.

Carolyn White

Heard about this place on CBS Sunday morning so my husband and I drove in for the weekend from Long Island- well done HJ! Grab some kcups for home if you can't make it there everyday. We will be back.

Sana S.

Great service. Great music and excellent product selection. I love the other offerings like overnight oats, Dirty Lemon brand water and other fun hard-to-find goodies!! I got one of their wonderful signature hats! Thank you Laughing Man, I will be back soon!!

Corey C

It's a bit confusing in there. Shop is small and there isn't a menu. Kind of have to know what you want but they do a good job

Foodlover Girl

If you love good cup of coffee, Hugh Jackman, and using your money for good cause, then this is the coffee shop to visit! Many says that they have the best coffee, latte, and espresso in NYC, and I might just agree with that, and that is coming from a non coffee lover. Yes, I am more of a tea lover, but I do appreciate a good cup of coffee. And here, I had THE best Flat White, ever. However, I must warn you, the inside is super small. I heard it was small, but upon visiting, I was surprised of how small it really was. There is no seating, other than small bench by the small window, and that is mostly used for people who are waiting for the coffee anyways. It gets packed after a handful of people in there. But it is worth the wait in the crowded, tiny little space. We got Hugh’s favorite, Flat White, and a special of the day, White Chocolate Lavender Mocha. If you are not familiar with Flat White, it is a beverage that originated in Australia, yes, where our beloved Huge is from. It is prepared by pouring microfoam (kind of steamed milk) over a single or double shot of espresso. I’ve had Flat White in the past, but none of them were this good. It was smooth, velvety, deep in aroma and flavor. It costs around $4, but it was totally worth it! Now I have more than one thing to thank Australia for; Hugh and Flat White (and Koala). And, please note that Hugh donates all his profits to the Laughing Man Foundation. Read my full review of the shop and coffee on my food blog, foodlovergirl.

Sonja Richard

This place serves the best coffee in the town. Very happy with their service.

Jimmie Drummond

Great coffee. Great patio space in front too

Dy1gfo R.

Pleasant as expected. I came from Sunnyside NY and explore the TriBeca area to get bags of coffee and my cup came out free. It was expensive but well worth it. I hope to get an order of bags of beans online as Texas don't have you. Wish you guys have a shop near the Medical Center…I will be your fan daily.

Thurayya UmBayemake

This place was a real delight! I was greeted with friendly faces and the matcha latte was delicious.

Jim Mars

I buy the coffee pods all the time, great coffee. Going to get to the shop later this year.

Yossi Saadon

I'm a fan of Hugh Jackman, and everything he's involved with... Besides this coffee, don't think it tastes that good. Over-hyped and over-priced

Bruce Haydon

A tiny place that serves amazing coffee, with an interesting little patio and seating area outside.

Ben C

A tiny place as it specialises in coffee. It delivered and could not ask for more.Best flat in our NYC stay.

Daniel

This is my first time to Laughing Man Coffee and I a great americano here today. Service was friend and the cafe was really cute. I’m happy I found this cafe and will be back again soon!

Lauren Sics

This has my Australian seal of approval! I can attest to their flat whites being top notch

Elisa

Lovely staff with quick service and helpful suggestion. Delicious drinks. Try the honey lavender latte!

Anita Aguirre

I love this coffee m, this place and this company (and Hugh Jackman). The story behind is so kind and so great. They buy from small farmers in Africa and is fair trade. They help them to get out the poverty circle. I love this cause and the place is super cozy and cute and the staff is wonderful. Always buy a bag of Dukales coffee to take home and the tiramisú turns amazing

dima lahlouh

The cappuccino is ok- the iced coffee was better and pretty strong!

Marshall Shaffer

Delicious coffee - flat white, Hugh’s recommendation, did not disappoint. At least in this location, though, the space got a little cramped. They might also consider getting heat sleeves that work on their smallest sizes.

Tracy Horton

Beautiful place with good atmosphere and so tasty tea!!!

David Baxter

A very compact Cafe, but they create a good cup of coffee. Not much on offer besides the coffee (bagels, muffins) but there are plenty of other places close by to get a meal.

Joy Mcdaniel

EXCELLENT COFFEE, EXCELLENT STAFF AND EXCELLENT BUSINESS OF HELPING OTHERS!!!
