Jack’s Stir Brew Coffee

Updated Oct 2023 review: I came back here hoping to experience some of the magic of Jack's that I remember from living next door years ago. The coffee was still as good as I remember but I miss the Jack's vibe from all the community members (old and young) hanging out, reading the morning paper, or just chilling with their dog out front. The staff also werent as warm and welcoming as I was used to. I probably won't visit again so I can still keep some of the magic in my memory. Times change but still glad Jack's is standing and hasn't turned into a Starbucks! 2017 review (previously a 5 star review): Gem in the West Village. Love the local vibe and delicious coffee. This is my favorite Jack's location hands down!

I came here because my tour guide says it’s the best coffee shop in town … may be it was but definitely not when I was there. I ordered just a black stir brew and was very disappointed when the coffee tasted a bit sour. May be it’s just my luck but i think the beans are not as fresh as it should be. But the place has a cozy feel and it’s in a nice part of town. Would’ve been nice if the coffee was good!

Awful place, awful pastries, awful girl behind the counter, just plain AWFUL!

Service was rude. What happened to me saying hi how are you and then getting a response? Maybe a hi, what can I get you? I’m not looking for some world class service, but maybe just a bit of class. Drink was good, barista rude and on her phone. Not coming back and I’ve been here a couple times.

3.19.23 I had a chai latte with oat milk and it was made really well. The staff must have been having a bad day so we tried to be as nice and encouraging as possible. It was also cold and chilly, and there was a steady stream of customers no rest for these guys. There are four two top tables and the shop is generally small, so there's a strong cozy feeling. Not a bad spot to park one self with a friend to catch up.
