NYC's cafe scene has matured into one of the strongest in the world — specialty coffee is the default in most neighborhoods, not the exception. The West Village, Nolita, and Williamsburg have the highest concentration of independently owned, quality-focused shops. Chains dominate Midtown; avoid them if you're looking for the actual coffee culture. Most good cafes are standing-room or have limited seating — laptop culture varies by neighborhood.
