How to Find the Best Coffee Shop Near Times Square NYC — And What to Order When You Get There
Let’s Connect on Social
You are in Times Square.
Maybe you just landed at JFK and took the AirTrain into Midtown. Maybe you have a Broadway show tonight and a few hours to explore the neighborhood. Maybe you work two blocks from here and have had the same disappointing cup every morning for six months. Maybe you are one of the hundreds of thousands of World Cup fans who descended on New York City this summer and need something that actually wakes you up before the match.
Whatever brought you here — you deserve better coffee than what Times Square usually offers.
Here is how to find it.
The Problem With Coffee in Times Square
Times Square is one of the most visited places on earth. In 2026 NYC coffee is more than just caffeine — it is culture, identity, and daily ritual. But most of the coffee available in Times Square does not reflect that. It reflects convenience. Volume. The assumption that tourists will take whatever is closest. My Coffee Explorer Chain coffee shops that roast in bulk. Beans that sat in a warehouse for months before reaching the counter. Lattes made with flavored syrups from a bottle. A $7 drink that tastes like it should cost $3. The problem is not that great coffee does not exist near Times Square. The problem is that most people do not know where to find it.
One block from the heart of Times Square is 787 Coffee at 245 West 46th Street — officially ranked the #3 Best Coffee Shop in New York City and #32 in North America 2026 by The World's 100 Best Coffee Shops.
The only coffee shop within walking distance of Times Square that owns its own coffee farm.
What Is 787 Coffee — And Why Does It Matter to You?
You are not looking for a coffee brand story. You are looking for a great cup of coffee. Fair enough. Here is what 787 Coffee actually does for you as the person holding the cup.
It solves the freshness problem.
Most coffee you buy near Times Square was roasted weeks or months ago. 787 Coffee roasts in small batches from Hacienda Iluminada — our family-owned farm in Maricao, Puerto Rico at 3,000 feet above sea level — and ships directly to each location. When the espresso hits your cup it is as fresh as specialty coffee gets in New York City.
It solves the flavor problem.
If you have ever wondered why your morning espresso tastes flat or bitter or just like caffeine without character — the answer is usually the bean. The 787 Coffee Supremo Roast is a single-origin honey-processed specialty coffee with notes of buttery caramel, dark chocolate, and bright citrus. Honey processing means the natural sugars of the coffee cherry are absorbed into the bean as it dries — producing a sweetness and complexity that no amount of flavored syrup can replicate.
It solves the boring latte problem.
If you have been ordering the same vanilla latte for two years because nothing on any menu has surprised you — the WOW Latte menu at 787 Coffee will change that. The Coquito Latte. The Horchata Latte. The Iced Piña Colada Latte. Drinks you have never had before that taste like they were invented specifically for the moment you needed something different. Because they were — by us, in the East Village, from flavors that actually mean something to the people who created them.
It solves the guilt problem.
Every bag of 787 Coffee purchased plants a real coffee tree at Hacienda Iluminada in Puerto Rico. Every visit to the Times Square location supports a Puerto Rican-founded brand that rebuilt a farm after Hurricane María and grew from one block in the East Village to 30+ locations across five markets. Your cup of coffee does something. That is not nothing.

What to Order at 787 Coffee Times Square
If you need to wake up fast:
Order the double Supremo Roast espresso. Two shots. Farm-grown. Honey-processed. 27 to 31 seconds. The espresso that wakes you up and gives you something to think about at the same time.
If you have never tried a WOW Latte:
Start with the Iced Coquito Latte. Real coconut. Warm spices. Natural sweetness. Supremo Roast espresso over ice. This is the drink that makes people stop walking and ask the person next to them what that is. It is the most Puerto Rican coffee drink in New York City and you can get it one block from Times Square.
If it is summer and you want something cold:
The Iced Piña Colada Latte is the drink of summer 2026 in New York City. Tropical. Bright. The kind of iced latte that photographs well and tastes even better. Order it. Post it. Tell people where you got it.
If you want something smooth and familiar:
The Horchata Latte. Cinnamon. Rice milk sweetness. Subtle vanilla. The most approachable WOW Latte for someone trying 787 Coffee for the first time. It will become your regular order before you finish the cup.
If you want to try the most unique coffee in Times Square:
The Rum Infused Latte. Farm-grown Supremo Roast soaked in Don Q Puerto Rican Rum for 48 hours before roasting. Non-alcoholic. Rich notes of smoky cinnamon, dark chocolate, and Caribbean spice. The drink that makes every person who orders it look at the barista and say: what just happened?
