PROOF Coffee Roasters

I think this coffee is one of the best I've tried in NYC because the beans are ground instantly but only if you want a coffee because then it doesn't have any sandwich's or hot food .. it only has some desserts .. I think they should invest more in food since if coffee is very good! also the location is a bit hidden!

Very nice little coffee shop tucked up a quiet side street near NYU Langone. On the morning I visited the two people working were both great and seemed to be enjoying themselves. Coffee was very good. Almond croissant was tasty. There are some small tables and chairs outside too which are nice at this time of year. Good coffee, good food, friendly staff, fast service. Definitely recommended.

Cute little cafe near NYU langone. I tried their vanilla latte which was strong and delicious. I also trie their chive cheddar biscuit which was served warm and it was soft

PROOF in Kips Bay is one of my go-to spots for good coffee when I am at the office in the city - their lattes are strong and delicious which is just what I need to start my day! The staff is always friendly and the store is always clean. They are tucked into 1st Ave in a quiet spot which is also a nice way to hide from the noise and traffic while you enjoy your coffee!

I visited this place for the first time among the three branches that I run now. It's good to meet great quality coffee at a reasonable price.
This is a peaceful place to enjoy coffee. There is some outdoor space outside the store and there are some benches. If there are not many people, it would be good to drink coffee there for a while.
And the reason why I give 4 stars is because a staff was not kind.

A great work spot! Decent seating and fast wifi — I arrived around 8:50 AM, and had the seating area all to myself. The baristas are also super fast — I was continually impressed by how quickly they whipped out everyone’s drinks. Latte was tasty as well. Will be back on my WFH days! (Side note — they have an NYU discount!)

Location can’t be beat. Tucked away on a side street away from busy city life. There’s a beautiful park nearby. The staff is warm and friendly. And, most importantly, the espresso is strong and delicious and the pastries look tempting. It’s a laidback coffee shop- not too fussy or sleek with space to sit and work or sip and go. It’s everything a coffee spot should be. Tables were sticky and the dust on the cool lamps hanging from the ceiling was pretty thick. A good scrubbing and PROOF would have 4 stars from my first visit. Can’t wait to come back.

Nice new coffee shop. Tables were available during lunch time. Iced americano was good. Barista was very nice. We ordered using Ritual app. Order was ready in 2 min and pick up was easy.

There is a funny line written on the door about how this place has the best coffee in NYC. The line is good, the coffee was not.

I asked for an 8 ounce flat white. I got very mediocre espresso with hot steamed milk in an 8 ounce cup filled up to 3/4.

See photo. It’s taken seconds after I got the cup. I’m not interested in latte art, but I’m not interested in milk frothed as soap foam either. Obviously, there is something wrong with the crema, but at this point that’s a detail.

However, the people who served me were great! Thus, +1 star

Love Proof and love the discount for hospital workers! The barista/baristo (that feels like not a word) always has a great attitude and makes excellent recommendations. Great space for seating if you're looking to read, get some work done, or chat with a friend. If you're looking to branch out... might I recommend the Macadamia Nutella latte...
