This is a bit of a mixed review. During our first visit (Friday), I could say I had one of the best lattes I ever had. The Salted Caramel latte was well balanced, the espresso was rich and full bodied, the milk was perfectly silky. The store had a cozy holiday vibe and was not as busy. The pastry I ordered was ok too. Based on my first visit, this place absolutely deserved 5 stars and beyond. The coffee was so amazing that I couldn’t stop thinking about it and we went back on Sunday morning. Sadly, the coffee wasn’t anywhere close to what I had two days earlier. Tried a different pastry which was ok too. I would say a 4 stars experience this time around? Maybe it was the Sunday barista that didn’t execute? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Averaged out, this place still gets 5 stars. I’ll try again during my next trip to NYC and adjust my review accordingly.

Stopped in for a quick breakfast and latte. I got the breakfast plate which was incredible! Bacon and eggs with house made sourdough toast and potatoes.

The absolute best cafe in the neighborhood. Have been going here for the past 5 years since I moved the neighborhood and it's still my favorite spot. The coffee is amazing, the pastries are always fresh and I love the eastern European dishes too!

I love the atmosphere at Solid State and the customer service is always pleasant. The cold brew blend stands on its own with great flavor and not too acidic in my opinion. My favorite breakfast choice is the avocado toast with soft boiled egg. Delicious and filling! This is a place I will frequent often and enjoy.

Solid State Coffee is a fantastic coffee shop with a surprisingly large amount of seating for New York City. They have a nice selection of beans for purchase, a wide variety of pastries, good selection of coffee options, and a nice food menu. I ordered a Mocha, Jelly filled donut, and a bacon cheddar danish. The mocha was just the right amount of bitter, partnering really well with the chocolate to not be over powered. The donut and danish were delicious, even though the danish was served at room temperature. Overall a great experience and worth coming again. I will also mention the restroom is really clean as well and well maintained.

Very much a pleasant surprise. Surface entrance is a bit hidden but location is very spacious for the upper west side. Coffee is good too. They even have a small outdoor area.

This is the best little coffee shop on the Upper West Side! Cozy and chill with a wonderful and friendly staff. Their espresso is so smooth, I barely add any cream and sugar, so yum! Solid State has merch as well with cute hoodies and hats. Plenty of seating in the back and a comfy waiting space. They are super fast too, so efficient and quick. Great music and vibes, I seriously look forward to going here when I visit New York. Great location, just 2 blocks from Central Park in a safe area surrounded by brownstones. I love this place and can’t wait to go back! Thanks and keep up the great work!

Amazing coffeeshop. Absolute must visit on the west side. Not only are their custom drinks great but the base coffee is excellent. They know their beans. Staff is friendly and plenty of seating, good music.

Such a good experience! The baristas are happy and it comes through in their service and their drinks. The cafe mocha was outstanding, milk steamed and foamed perfectly. I watched the barista pour it, the mystic methods of latte art… I asked him, how did you do that? He smiled and said “years of practice”. Lots of seating in the back, very comfortable to hang out. And the prices are very reasonable compared to other New York spots! Recommended!
