Think Coffee at 248 Mercer Street (near NYU) has become a favorite hangout for many, including myself and a friend who introduced me to it this summer. They have a mission statement: "Think Coffee is an independently-owned cafe with a socially and environmentally conscious bent and a community-oriented mission. We serve only Fair Trade, shade-grown, organic coffee, Fair Trade, organic teas, and local milk and ice cream fresh from the Hudson Valley." However, for most habitues, I think it's the casual atmosphere that is the attraction and what really sets it apart. They have comfy upholstered couches and chairs, free WIFI, a plethora of power outlets, and a large selection of coffee, tea (and other beverages), desserts, and sandwiches/snacks. They provide free Scrabble sets, and on Thursday night there is free live music. Check out their site for more info. There is generally an abundance of students - many park themselves here for hours at a time. The reviews are generally excellent. Absolutely zero pressure here - sit and relax as long as you like...

We could use a place like this in our city. I't so hard to find a place where you can relax without feeling like you are loitering. I love the shadows and colours in this shot.
Sounds and looks perfect.
What a great photo! I have sent a link to my NYC resident partner who is a coffee freak!
Sounds a lot more fun than say Starbucks. Just a shame I don't live in New York or like coffee, as I would be a regular customer.
Actually, I don't drink coffee at all, but they have many interesting alternatives, inclucing the use of steamed soymilk if you want it.
