Café Integral is a cozy haven in Chinatown, crafting exceptional Nicaraguan coffee and house-made treats in a laid-back, minimalist vibe.
"Former photographer César Vega worked in quality control for speciality coffee mills in northern Nicaragua before founding Café Integral in 2012. He and his trusted team designed many aspects of the minimalist interior at this former dry cleaner’s, including the spherical light fittings. The café takes coffee seriously but stops short of being snobbish and its focus on Nicaraguan beans lends it a welcome sense of regional identity. It also offers house-made milk alternatives, and doughnuts and cookies from New York suppliers, as well as a small but well-chosen food menu."
"Japan’s cult-favorite hit coffee shop %Arabica — which is known just as much for caffeinated drinks as it is for its chic stores and merchandise — is opening its first U.S. store in Nolita later this year, according to an announcement on its Instagram page." - Tanay Warerkar
"Café Integral is offering free shipping on orders over $50. Blends and seasonal coffee are available along with some brewing gear, and tote bags." - Liz Clayton
