Black Fox Coffee is hands down one of my favorite cafés in NYC. Even though it’s a chain, the location near Grand Central has become a regular stop for me. I usually think the espresso drinks I make at home are better than what I get in most commercial cafés—but Black Fox is the exception. I often find myself happily walking a few blocks just to sit down with a latte or cortado. Every cup is consistently well-balanced, rich, creamy, and just straight-up enjoyable.I also love picking up beans here. They roast their own, and while those have a very distinctive (and kind of wild) soy sauce aroma that might not be for everyone, they do carry the Red Brick from a UK roaster—and that’s where the magic happens. It’s a fruity, modern espresso that’s smooth, sweet, and addictive in the best way.The space is bright and well-designed, with a great retail selection of brewing gear, merch, and snacks. It’s clear that they designed the space to be uncomfortable to not let you stay long. However, whether you’re a casual coffee drinker or a total espresso nerd, Black Fox hits the spot. - Yunong Shi
