In 2001, on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, Ninth Street Espresso [NSE] established the city’s first quality-driven, specialty coffee bar. The idea was to serve the highest quality coffee, plain and simple. 

Since its inception, NSE has set the bar for quality, not only in NYC, but throughout the United States. Our focused approach and streamlined menu have become the standard for specialty coffee shops throughout the country.

At NSE, the commitment to quality and craftsmanship is reflected by its chosen brew methods. From batch brewing with american made urns to extracting perfectly balanced espresso, NSE has carved out its own path, striving always towards one thing: great coffee, brewed with care, for everyone.
