Laughing Man Cafe

Superb bagels and worth the experience. Had the salmon egg and cheese for brunch, alongside a hot matcha latte. Really well done - super fresh salmon cut with crispy toasts on both ends. Portions are generous. Coffee tasted very decent as well but not exactly super unique I would say. That said, apart from the fact that Hugh Jackman founded this cafe, the staff does uphold great standards in their attitude and service. We received our meals and drinks within 15 minutes despite a long queue. Tables were cleared efficiently too. It’s a popular outlet for sure with plenty of regulars. Well worth the penny and time to experience if you are around the area. Very cosy and welcoming on overall.

Laughing Man Coffee Cafe is a true New York Staple. Great Coffee, The honey lavender latte is absolutely outstanding on top of that. The sandwiches salads breakfast is absolutely amazing. Plenty of Eden great atmosphere incredible friendly staff must go with the 11 Manhattan or your visiting. Plus created by Hugh Jackman many years ago it feels great to know that the coffee and sells do go to Charity Absolutely love it must see and go!!!

Really nice atmosphere and a good location, open space with seating though it gets busy during the morning to afternoon of course. The service was great, they're all really friendly and helpful. The honey lavender latte was top tier and drinks are normally in the 1-10 dollar range. Meals are a bit more priced into the 10-20 dollar range but seem extremely worth it. Would come back.

We got an espresso, cappuccino, pesto chicken bowl, and spicy tuna bowl here. The bowls were both very delicious and full of protein. Wonderful flavors and large portion size. Would definitely recommend!

Laid back, spacious establishment. Though the big outdoor umbrella fell (strong wind) and almost injured my friend! Service was fantastic (by a little boy), and the coffee selection and taste were excellent.

Good coffee, fast service, overall a neat cafe in the area. Has a restroom (clean!). Food menu is robust. Has a massive TV that’s not playing anything. Noise level is acceptable (won’t be too disturbing if you take work calls). No WiFi though

Laughing Man Coffee & Tea Co. is a solid choice! I had their iced matcha latte, and it was spot on—smooth and not too sweet. The place has a cozy vibe and friendly staff, making it a nice spot to chill or catch up with friends. Plus, they use quality ingredients, which you can really taste. If you're nearby and want a good drink, check them out!

I like to go to that place, when I am in the area . The coffee and the food are great and well presented. The only thing, I will say. the peoples at the register are not consistent. Sometime it s great and sometime they are distracted, depend on the person … (cellphone or not listening. )

Came here because Hugh Jackman owns it. He's smart, talented, and clearly good at everything he does (I hate people like that). From Wolverine to The Greatest Showman and Les Mis you think he would lay an egg every once in a while. The only eggs here are the ones in the awesome omelettes. Everything we had was fantastic and bursting with flavor. Only disappointment was not seeing Hugh himself bussing tables.

No WiFi, everyone inside is absolutely bundled up because it's FREEZING while it's 30 degrees outside, they have their AC on blast. Unless it's a quick pickup I don't recommend working here.

Super friendly staff delicious coffee and great space. Great location in Tribeca close all the parks enough space to bring in a stroller.

I came on a Sunday early afternoon. There's plenty of space and a nice vibe. There are indoor and outdoor seats with shade. I had black coffee and the mushroom feta scramble, which came with two pieces of sourdough. It was good. Cashiers didn't seem friendly though. The bus boy helped take my plate which I was appreciative of.

Owned by Huge Jackman, the original small spot next door finally expanded to a new and bigger space with table and bar seating. And there's finally a menu with prices too as well as more food options. I have been coming here for years and I really like the quality of their drinks. My latest hype of the season has been hot chocolate their French hot chocolate is really good if you don't mind half and half and whole milk.

I've tried Laughing Man once at the Battery Park location but the coffee and pastry were extremely mediocre. Even the location seemed kinda dirty and janky. Decided to give the Tribeca location a try and was pleasantly surprised that both latte and banana muffin tasted decent. I enjoyed my takeout breakfast.

Love their Oatmeal! (This one's got walnuts, raisins, and I added my own signature dash of brown sugar ). My ultimate Go-to for a nice balance of creative writing, lady watching, and star-gazing.

Great coffee, good service and an amazing cause. Hugh Jackman earns my respect not just for being the best coffee but also serving humanity. The cafe area is spacious and has plenty of space for some to work from as well.

Good coffee! Got the Lavender Latte and was delicious. I specifically live the concept of the coffee shop and would love to support this business ( another reason is the founder ) We ordered the croissant but it took longer than normal to get it.

Laughing Man Coffee Company has another location in Tribeca; this coffee shop offers coffee, specialty/seasonal items, as well as options to purchase coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and gifts. We came here to get some caffeine fix, and I've tried the Salted Popcorn Latte - this was a little too salty for my taste, but it was served extra hot. Service was friendly! I'd be interested in trying their other specialty/seasonal offerings. +friendly service

The location is cool, spacious, and lot of seating. Everything seems good but the staff is very slow. While waiting for my drink, there were 2 others waiting ahead of me and seemed like it took 10 minutes before I got my drink. They have about 4 machines but were only making 1 drink at a time. At one point I heard the staff talking to each other, asking what time they were closing and if they were going to close early?

I was in the area for a yoga class and Laughing Man Coffee Company was conveniently nearby so we stopped there for a morning pick me up. We waited in a short line and I ordered an iced latte with oat milk. Although it took a while to get my drink, I didn't mind because the drink was delightful and it was exactly what I needed to get me through the rest of the day. The cafe is incredibly spacious and there were plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. I was there on a Sunday so the cafe was more packed than usual but I find that if you are willing to stand around and wait a little, seats will typically open up.

I had a latte here and it was great! I love the ambiance and the amount of seating. Definitely one of my favorite study spots in nyc. If you're looking for a place with good food and good coffee while doing some work, this is the place to go!

X-mas 2018 was the last time I was here. Wow, what a change! Laughing Man has really expanded, like 10 times the size! Good food, great coffee, excellent service and now with plenty of room!

Cute place inside with plenty of space to hang out! I really liked that. The quality of the coffee and preparation was quite disappointing. The flat white was way too hot and foamy. It tasted incredibly bitter. It was worse than Starbucks. No exaggeration. Service was kind of weird. They were somewhat rude and curt.

Great coffee. Cozy and nice place. Good Anna tasty snacks. Good service and welcoming employees.

Whenever I am in the area I make an active attempt to stop by here. The Hugh blend is usually my favorite pick me up for the day and they usually have tons of space to sit down inside and outside. So it is great on a sunny day to enjoy your coffee while people watching and sitting outside. Would recommend them to others!

Great local coffee shop, plenty of room to sit and work and a great selection of coffee drinks including an espresso tonic that was fantastic!

Great aesthetic and their chai latte is fantastic. I wish they didn't charge extra for oatmilk or a non-dairy milk replacement, but if you have to choose between spending $7 on a chai latte here or Starbucks, choose here! Decent seating indoors and outdoors

Came here and ordered just black coffee in a large cup. The coffee was fresh and flavorous. It had good taste on it. I liked it. I also loved its ambiance and refreshing place to chill, hang out, and to have convo with fds and family. Definitely worth it!

Solid cafe with decent food and good value. Can get quite busy on weekends but, it's good for people watching

This cafe has a rude staff. Not friendly and gave attitude. Cashier was very unwelcoming.

Clean. Great staff. Coffee is delicious. I had a small cappuccino (oat milk & vanilla plenty froth ) 9/10, raspberry pastry 6/10, total $13.00 (with tip) plenty of seating inside even more outside. Very active in the morning. Quiet street. Pet friendly. Bar/Wine available. I'm going to come back to catch cocktails and give you a follow up. Overall I would recommend you come here for coffee and chill.

Excellent coffee I love the cinnamon vanilla latte, the plain black coffee is fantastic too!

I've never had bad coffee in NYC... but this place was probably the most unimpressive places I've tried. The shop itself is beautiful- so much seating, very large- it would be a great place to meet some people for work or personal reasons. However, the coffee itself just isn't all that great. The latte I tried was too hot and a bit flavorless. I didn't enjoy it and likely will not be back.

Customer service? What customer service. Every single person at the counter was rude, obnoxious, and seemed as if they didn't have the time of day to do their jobs. Horrible experience from a group of nasty people. And with at least 4 people just standing around you'd think someone would be helpful? Woman with the dark winged eyeliner was especially horrible.

Any coffee shop that can do a Chai well can count on me as a regular. I've been meaning to visit this shop for a while but it's deep in Tribeca. Luckily I've been taking spin classes at a studio nearby so I will definitely be here on a regular basis. It's a bit pricey but it's on par with any other coffee shop in the neighborhood. The cafe has plenty of seating indoors as well as out. The space is welcoming to remote workers. I look forward to returning here with my laptop in the near future.

egg and cheese (at least to go) was pretty mediocre. Brioche isn't even toasted or buttered, which I didn't realize I had to specify. Light on cheese. Their cafe au lait was good though! And they were able to make change for a larger bill

When I was working downtown, I stopped by Laughing Man every weekday of my life without fail. I shudder to think about how much money I've spent at this establishment but you know what - it's worth it. The coffee is great, the staff is top notch, and it's hard to leave here without a smile. When I was back in the area a couple weeks back, and was walking past many shuttered restaurants, I practically had to cover my eyes when I walked down Duane because I was so scared that they'd be closed. But no! Open and with a huge line outside. Pro tip: go for Halloween. The staff has been known to dress up as Hugh Jackman's characters.

There is plenty of outdoor seating and with the weather picking up in NYC, this spot makes for a great place to drink, connect with friends, or enjoy some quality time alone. I ordered the Honey Lavender Latte (iced) and I really liked that it wasn't overly sweet. The lavender wasn't as strong though, and I was hoping it would be. I also ordered the raspberry filled donut and OMG was that goooood! I would have ordered a dozen if they had more. The jelly is sweet and deliciously made & the donut overall was so fresh and soft (and lightly powdered). I'd come back JUST for the donut, to be honest. The cashier at the time was super helpful. She gave recommendations and they did not disappoint, clearly. The barista, however, came off as a bit rude when I asked him about the latte on the bar. No big deal, but it definitely caught me off guard since the cashier was so pleasant.

Tribeca caffe with ample indoor and outdoor fake lawn seating. Great for a stop in but terribly overpriced. I purchased the teddy bear small pastry (it's about the size of an index finger) and it was $3

I thought it was a decent coffee, but not sure I'd go out of my way to get it. Might be more popular due to its owner, Hugh Jackson, rather than the taste. Staff is friendly though!

Not sure what happened here. Coffee & service used to be amazing. Ever since Covid loosened, menu was extended and the former manager left, the coffee has been terrible and the customer service equally as bad. It's also really dirty on the weekends. Tables tend to not be wiped down and trash on the floor. I want the old Laughing Man back.

Trendy spot but disappointing cappuccino, esp for 5 bux. Took this photo immediately after getting my drink. The bubbles should be much more even and not as big so that the froth can actually mix with the espresso which was super light. I'd go if you want a trendy place to hang but wouldn't recommend for the coffee drinks

I had a lovely coconut latte while walking around the neighborhood. We paid around 11 usd for 2 medium lattes, service was fast and staff, polite. My fiancée was keen to try this place and he wasn't dissapointed. There is a small but nice looking selection of pastries, decent drinks selection on offer.

Very good espresso based drinks in a very comfortable space. Plenty of room to hang with friends or get some work done. Indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly staff.

I had high expectations after learning that Hugh Jackman owned Laughing Man. It did not disappoint. Laughing Man Coffee and Tea is probably my favorite coffee spot in NYC. There's nice seating inside, but they also set up a nice little patio outside that makes it a serene place to just sit and enjoy your coffee. I've only tried two drinks at Laughing Man: the honey lavender latte and pumpkin pie latte. Both were very solid drinks, but the honey lavender latte is the true king that makes me love this coffee spot. The honey lavender latte has the perfect blend of coffee and lavender flavors. The lavender and honey create the perfect subtlety that doesn't overpower the coffee, but instead creates a smooth aftertaste for the coffee. If you're in the look for coffee and are in the area, definitely go to Laughing Man and get yourself a honey lavender latte.

The pink lady smoothies were delicious. I'm not a fan of maca but I couldn't taste it at all in the smoothie and it was great. Really cute place!

The employees are super sweet and caring. Coffee is amazing. The hot chocolate with a shot of espresso was perfect.

Love the business laughing man brings to Duane St culture as I live nearby... but unfortunately 9 out of 10 times my espresso is so burnt or bitter I throw it away after struggling through a few sips before I get even block away. Not sure how it has so many good reviews when the majority of attempts I give it always disappoint. I think I might have given it my last attempt today. I'd rather walk to farther away coffee shops that are reliably consistent!

I go to school in the area and wanted to find a cafe near by to get some work done. Came across this place and decided to check it out! My first impression was that it was very clean looking and aesthetically pleasing. There's plenty of seating available at tables, the "bar", high top tables, and in cushioned booths. I ordered the Iced Cinnamon Vanilla Matcha Latte and it was just good. The workers seemed very attentive and respectful, which I always appreciate. I will definitely be coming back.

Hugh Jackman is a beautiful man. I was one of those teens who would to wait outside the theater to get a glimpse of him when he was on Broadway (Boy from Oz) because I was too broke a HS kid to buy Broadway tickets. My mother would've disowned me if I asked her for $$ to buy tickets hah. But I digress. I don't come here because I love HJ. I come here because of their up to par coffee. Not as strong as Blue Bottle, but I still like it. Their store is clean with wheelchair accessible restrooms. Baristas are fast and friendly (sufficiently staffed, too). Great outdoor seating. I wish they had better pastries (more cakes, please).

Really solid coffee, their specialty is the flat white. I also bought a bag of beans, they're Ethiopian and I can't wait to try them out! They have a small space, you could sit outside on a nice day. I was happy with my stop by, I would definitely come again if I'm in the area.

This coffee shop is tucked away at the end of a cute little street in Tribeca. It's a perfect pit stop on your way to Battery Park, West Side Highway, The Oculus, etc. I love coming here close to golden hour and lounging on the benches outside, just basking in the sunlight and enjoying the moderate bustle of the neighborhood (it's either runners, school kids, or nannies with strollers). I love their coffee but I also love this one protein/health food bar they carry in particular that I don't find anywhere else. They're the Papa Steve's protein bars. They probably sell them at other health food stores but I haven't searched hard enough. I love these sooooooo much. They're kinda low key and also very amazing. I'm glad they haven't blown up like Perfect bars. Do stop by if you're in the neighborhood to support this small business (that's also supporting other great causes!!)

The spicy BEC egg sandwich is tasty -- the pickled onions are a nice touch. The staff are cleaning surfaces every few minutes - they are very attentive . I saw them tend to the counter tops several times even though I wasn't there long.

Came in to try the honey lavender flat white. It was really delicious. The staff is really friendly and patient when you ask questions. I like that they carry some refrigerated food items like over night oats, chai pudding and cold drinks like chocolate milk. Overall a great experience.

I have been getting croissants, gluten free brownies, chocolate chip cookies and banana bread and coffee daily from this fabulous coffee shop, (right next door to the loft in Tribeca), that I have been staying at these past two weeks plus. The staff who work here are wonderful, knowledgeable and friendly. This morning I decided to try some food, as I was hungry for a heartier breakfast. I asked about their avocado toast and the nice young lady said it was seasoned with Mediterranean spices, feta and olive oil. I inquired about the bread and was told it was sourdough, which I love toasted. I told her "light on the seasoning" and "light on the feta"! As you can see from the pictures below, the "correct label" was made, but the avocado toast I received was heavily doused with seasonings with TONS of feta! You seriously would have thought I ordered feta toast!!! I had someone waiting for me in their car, so I took the coffee and banana bread that was ready out to him. I waited for the avocado toast to be made. To be fair, I WAS shown the avocado toast by the person who made it, but I had already waited more than 10 minutes and my ride had to be back for a 9:00 am ZOOM meeting. I was SURPRISED that she completely ignored the label and heaped on way too much of what I had specifically asked for less of those two items! Honestly I was disappointed and I did not enjoy eating it! I scraped off the extra seasoning and most of the tons of feta and I was left with two slices of wonderful sourdough toast that was LIGHT on avocado - covering just a little over half of each slice of bread. I thought I had ordered avocado toast! I do love the people who work there and the layout and cleanliness of this neighborhood coffee shop. I'll still come in for my other favorites! I just won't order the avocado toast again!

Got to laughing man 20 minutes before they closed at 6pm. Was told they had no coffee. what kind of coffee shop has no coffee 20 minutes before they close? I think there is some kind of scam going on.

Extremely good coffee. We got iced coffee(5/5) and it had deep flavor and woke us right up. We liked it so much we got some beans (5/5) to go. Highly recommend this place.
