CAFTÉ

CAFTÉ is a cafe a few short blocks from the Flatiron district’s steady stream of foot traffic. At the corner of 20th and 2nd, the shop shares the sidewalk with early-morning errands and late-night wanderers alike, drawing a simple crowd in search of a reliable spot.

Across the week you’ll find breakfast wraps and house-roasted drip brew alongside cold-pressed juices and freshly baked croissants. The kitchen offers avocado toast and chia pudding too, while the pastry case rotates muffins and afternoon cookies. Behind the counter espresso drinks pull from the same beans sold retail, and iced lattes arrive topped with a slow pour when you ask. You can always take a drip bag or canned cold brew for the subway. And if you need a quick bite to bring along, grab a bagel with cream cheese or a breakfast burrito to go. Maps and directions are on the listing at 247 E 20th St New York, NY 10010; call (212) 533-4880 for quick questions or orders to go.
