❤️ Why We Love It
What makes Stone Street Coffee Chelsea stand out in a city full of options? It starts with the beans. Stone Street builds direct relationships with family farms and producers around the world, sourcing with real intention.
Those beans are then roasted in small batches right across the bridge in Brooklyn, with every roast profile carefully controlled for consistent flavor every single time.
That care shows up in the cup. Regulars rave about a cappuccino that’s rich, creamy, and balanced — not too acidic, not too bitter.
An iced latte where the coffee flavor holds up long after the ice melts. A vanilla latte made with real vanilla, subtle and not sweet. These are drinks made by people who genuinely love what they do.
The team here is a big part of why people keep coming back. Warm, quick, and genuinely kind — the kind of place where someone lets you charge your phone even if you didn’t order anything. That’s real Chelsea hospitality.
The walk-up window keeps everything moving, which is perfect when you’re squeezing in a coffee break near the High Line or rushing before work.
Whether you’re a local grabbing your weekday fix or a visitor exploring Chelsea’s streets for the first time, this spot always delivers.
If you’re browsing the NYC Coffee Directory or comparing Chelsea coffee shops, Stone Street Coffee Chelsea is a must for anyone who wants quality without the wait in New York City.
