Café Chrystie

It's a small but pretty cafe. The staff is friendly and the mini-editing shop is cute. The hidden menu, citron iced coffee, is the best to quench your thirst! The new matcha slush is so cool and delicious. I recommend it.

This beautiful, small, stylish café is my number one hidden gem in NYC. The super-nice and very competent lady behind the counter makes incredibly delicious cappuccinos and flat whites. The café even has a small, very fashionable merchandise section. Highly recommended.

Café Chrystie. Cute coffee nook. Mostly a to-go coffee shop (no indoor seating, a couple bistro tables outside) that also sells upscale clothes and art. The drip coffee is high quality. A true medium dark roast with chocolate notes, long finish, and little acidity. They use Variety Coffee beans roasted in Brooklyn, and sell a few different roasts and bags. Friendly owner too! Drip coffee score: 4.5/5. Everything else score: 4/5. Overall score: 4.25/5.

Love this place! The girls that work here are so sweet and my iced almond latte is always perfect. ❤️

stopped at Cafe Christie a couple of weeks ago for a coffee to tackle the day. the store looks more like a a tiny shop because the narrow interior is filled with a select amount of merchandise like tshirts, art, teacups and more. the back of the space is the coffee/tea area where the staff will make your caffeinated beverage. the space is warm and modern with everything being organized neatly and well-lit. my Americano was good and hit the spot when bc i wanted that hot coffee rush. the staff are friendly and attentive as they were having lunch when i walked in and stopped their meal to make my drink without a sweat. kind of them to do that. there are a limited number of seats inside (a small bench) but sometimes outside there's a small bench + a table. this is more a grab-n-go place or sip a fine caffeinated beverage while you browse. overall, this is a nice addition to the neighborhood for people who have simple coffee wants and like mixing that in with shopping for limited-made items. the cafe definitely fits with that Alphabet City vibe of creativity and being a little different than your typical coffee / cafe.

Stumbling new cute cafes around the corner of Tompkins Park. Art exhibition, book & some other stuff! Definitely more than just coffee. Highly recommended to check out Cafe Chrystie! Get coffee a week in a row now and still the same taste and consistent! All the drinks are delish.. must try everything.

The place is a so aesthetic and I go for their Iced Americano and Yuzu Ade! They also have soft and good quality shirts and sweaters! I bought a pair of the jeans and it’s my favorite so far.
