SJU Foodie Takes On “Sweetleaf” in NYC

Still looking for that perfect coffee bar? Are you obsessed with caffeine? Keep reading to see if this place meets all of your criteria. Sweetleaf was opened in 2008 and has been striving for your vote as the best espresso bar ever since.

 

Hardworking Baristas

Every barista plays their part in perfecting each cappuccino resulting in an intense, New Orleans-style iced coffee, which includes touches of maple syrup and chicory.

 

 

Cutting Edge Equipment

Their use of cutting edge equipment with the combination of the best beans you can find is what sets them apart from the rest. Using refractors to measure total dissolved solids and even using software to show the exact extraction percentages. Who said science couldn’t be fun, right?

 

Gluten Free & Vegan Options

Their coffee menu just about hits every nail on the head from Cortados to Espressos. Not to mention, their bakery, which also houses gluten free and vegan options, is absolutely to die for.

 

 

Friendly Vibes

By treating their customers just like family, they strive to make everyone that walks in their door, and also the staff, feel welcomed and appreciated.
