Plowshares Coffee Bloomingdale

Plowshares make fantastic coffee to stay or for take away. However, when I inquired about their whole bean coffees flavors /characteristics the baristas were not able to walk me through the lovely selection.

Great coldbrew ☕, serving in house drinks in glass/mugs 😻🙏 OMG - first one I've came across here in NY so far #noplastic.
Fair pricing $4 coldbrew!

Excellent coffee! I got an iced oak milk latte and it was perfect. It’s a small shop and I went on a Saturday morning and there was only one person working so it took a while but it was worth it.

I’ve been to this place 2-3 times and have seen the same 2 baristas. The person with glasses taking my order is always kind enough, but older blond gentleman has never been kind and ruins the vibe every time I go there. I’d avoid this place and take your business elsewhere 🤷🏻‍♀️

The coffee here is great - rich, smooth, complex. The staff are really nice and always rinse out my travel mug and warm it up with hot water. The baked goods look quite nice, but I have not tried them. This is my usual place to grab coffee and go (which allows me to choose it for the taste of the coffee rather than based on other considerations).

I have not tried to use this place for sitting and working, and it does not seem that it is really geared for that. It is a narrow little spot with limited seating, and I am not even sure they have a restroom. Nonetheless, it does seem that people use it for little meetings and to sit and socialize.

Nice little coffee shop with 3 stools at a counter up front with a view of the street. Good people watching. A few small tables too.

Nice little place. Had an excellent espresso drink, though it was fairly slow to get (I assume it was because of redialing-in the beans (which is a plus!)). The pastries certainly looked good, and they have many single origin roasted coffees of their own to bring home. Sadly no manual brew ( :-( ), but would definitely come back.

Hands down the best coffee shop in Morningside Heights. Move over Joe Coffee. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. They pull a great espresso. They often have a single origin option, but they won't serve it if they don't think it will come out to their standards! Such an admirable quality. They have great pastries from a local baker and provide coffee from their off-site roaster. If you get a chance to talk to their toastmaster, do so. They all love their coffee and won't hesitate to tell you everything great about them.

My go to neighborhood coffee shop. The coffee is such incredible quality and the staff are always exceedingly pleasant. Highly recommend!

This little hidden gem is a must go for coffee lovers, I got a iced latte, light and sweet. The batista did my coffee so amazing that I went back for seconds. I don't recommend their French toast bites, the things were hard and dry.
