Marlton Espresso Bar

Absolutely BEST sneakiest, lowkey place in the city. So slept on. Cutest outdoor patio in the back and so many tables open. Brunch was standard and does the trick. Nothing too fancy or unique Indoor is cute too and there’s a coffee shop in the front with couches. Great place to go and count on seating!

A wonderful winter space with dark wood, couches and a fireplace. One of the few bars in NYC to enjoy good mulled wine. The crowd is decent and cool despite the old school elegant vibe of this place. Not sure why the description says closing at 6, it is definitely open as a lobby bar way after 6pm. It was weird though that they don't serve tea after 6pm.

Great atmosphere. Serves food, drinks, and coffee

After dining at the café/restaurant near the check-in and concierge desk in the hotel lobby, I decided to use the restroom before leaving. The café/restaurant is located within the hotel lobby, and the restrooms are situated slightly toward the back of the space. While making my way to the restroom, I encountered a man dressed in mid-tone jeans and a light grey top who appeared to be instructing a staff member about handling guests and customers. He was standing in the passageway and didn’t move aside even after I politely said, "Excuse me." I had no choice but to navigate around him and the staff member to proceed. Less than a minute after I arrived at the restroom area and was waiting for it to become vacant, this same individual approached me in a rather abrupt and hostile manner, asking if I was a guest of the hotel. I explained that I had just dined at the café, but instead of acknowledging this, he told me that the restrooms were for hotel guests only and walked away without any apology or further clarification. This interaction was unnecessarily confrontational and could have been avoided entirely if he had first checked with the staff member he had just been speaking to—who would have known I was a paying customer. Even if this step had been missed, his approach could have been more polite and professional. Furthermore, a sincere apology after realizing I was a legitimate customer would have been the bare minimum expected in this situation. This individual’s behavior was unprofessional, especially for someone seemingly responsible for instructing other staff members. It was particularly disappointing because the other staff I encountered were warm, friendly, and accommodating. Unfortunately, this experience overshadowed what could have been an otherwise pleasant visit. It left me feeling upset and unwelcome.

My weekly spot for coffee with a friend. A true 5 star experience. Excellent coffee, service and ambiance. What else can you ask for?

It's at most 30°F , snowing, and outright miserable outside. What do you do? How does a cozy as heck, politely quiet as a library, lobby that doubled as a Cafe and bar sound? With a roaring fireplace that you can cozy up to while you drink coffee or tea out-of gorgeous looking cupware and have your pick of a variety of seating arrangements to choose from, and nobody cares if you need to take your shoes off to crouch-sit like a neurodiverse goblin. Oh yeah, it's a slice of heaven is what it sounds like. With super friendly staff who both see to your needs and know to leave you alone to just enjoy the vibe while you eat, work on your laptop, listen to that audiobook or read. Whatever. They don't rush you out. It's a bohemian dream. Just be sure to bring a credit card or something they can hold onto as collateral for your tab, though they do take cash. HIGHLY recommend the tomato soup. JUST LOOK AT IT! And it's not bland, it's properly spiced. Maybe too spicy for some but absolutely perfect for me.

I don’t even want to rate this place or tell anyone about it. I love it so much and I hope it stays quiet and cozy! 5 stars

I popped in to scope out the cozy lobby area to work from. The F&B director, Keith, approached me and asked how he could help. He offered to give me a tour of the area and was incredibly nice and helpful. He kindly let me know that they prioritize those staying at the hotel for seating (which is completely understandable) and that they just ask those working at the hotel to be accommodating, kind to the staff, and order food/drinks. The space itself was intimate & cozy - definitely a place I’d like to spend hours drinking coffee and reading a good book. I didn’t get a chance to try any of their food or drinks but I definitely will be back to do so. Shoutout to Keith for turning me into a customer!

Great spot to work remotely from. WiFi works pretty well, lots of outlets if you need to plug in your laptop and lots of seatings. Cozy vibes with a fireplace

Friend suggested this place - he's the type looking for a cozy couch and quiet-enough vibes to read a book, and I was looking for a quiet-enough place to have a coffee and do some work on my laptop. Marlton fulfills both of those needs. I came during an off-peak time and day - on a holiday, and seated near the bar during that weird transitional time in the afternoon between "yes, it's still appropriate to have a coffee" and happy hour. Given the proximity to NYU, I'm sure this place gets filled up relatively quickly during the academic year. The staff is fantastic - quick and attentive. Dim-ish lighting - like you're sitting in a library that happens to serve booze. You'll hear people having conversations, and it gets louder the closer you are to the bar, but it's not too distracting. They also have a variety of seating arrangements (couches, tables, and booths indoors, and covered outdoor seating too). Good find!

An unassuming espresso bar hidden in the lobby of the attached hotel that has the perfect quiet and cozy ambience AND serves a wonderful cappucino. It was not busy even on a Sunday afternoon. Service was wonderful- laidback and let you have space to quietly chat, work, or read.

Area is cozy and warm but service was cold as ice! As many of our experience at this hotel both in the cafe and bar/restaurant servers were cold and rude. Unfortunate as food and drinks were great.

Totally forgot that I stopped in here on my most recent trip to New York a few months back. Really nothing memorable, but I think I know why. They said they were closed when we stopped in, but then the guy that was cleaning up said he'd make us two espresso's. I think maybe he's not the normal barista cuz it wasn't good. But hey, he made us a drink when they were technically closed, so props for the customer service, right? Just in case that's how their coffee tastes though, I won't be back.

Like a regular coffee shop, but more beautiful -- you can feel comfortable sitting and dwelling for quite a bit of time after buying a coffee. We often find ourselves here when we are looking for a low key night or when we are studying. It is a nice change of pace from the other nearby coffee spots. The lighting can be a bit dim versus a regular coffee shop, but it's a great alternative when Stumptown or Starbucks is too full.

I had the opportunity to visit the Marlton Espresso Bar when the first choice I wanted to grab coffee and catch up with a friend at was full. Overall a good experience, but it seems as if this place will always be packed (So be warned). The espresso bar and the regular bar seem to be one in the same at this hotel. After walking in you step into a wide lobby with chairs and tables on both sides. It's definitely set for guests and patrons alike to grab coffee and/or a drink and relax, but it definitely has limited seating. When I walked in most of the seats were already taken, however I was able to find an empty booth at the bar area in the back. The server that assisted us was great! He provided a menu and stated he was available to answer any question we had. In the end we only ordered coffee but he was kind enough to bring it to us right away, while it was still hot! Overall, it's an alright place to grab coffee. If you're staying at the hotel it might be even better, but if you're going in on a regular day try and avoid it during regular rush hour so you're able to grab a seat.

This espresso bar is basically a cafe thats integrated with the lobby of the marlton hotel. It's pretty quiet and cozy with very warm furniture (velvet couches and heavy tables) and it's a great place to meet up with a friend or just have coffee and get some work done. There is a separate dining room in the back, but you can also order food to eat in the cafe area. I don't have an opinion on the food (though it seems a bit pricey considering the fact that it's inside a hotel). The coffee area has any type of coffee you need with an assortment of pastries. The staff is really friendly and the coffee is pretty good! Not too sour and not too bitter. Will be coming back!

What a cute place! It may be the most charming place in the world. However, the burger was very, very bad. It came out in like 5 seconds and had zero flavor. I loved the fries though. The burger did make me sad.

Nice setting for a coffee date in the west village.

This is the absolute best spot I have found to work remotely from. Such an cozy space, amazing service- Juan is great- and I don't feel unwelcome as I sit and work for a few hours (like I do at many places). My favorite spot!

Great intimate spot for meeting friends before or after dinner. Delicious appetizers and drinks.

The Marlton is a very nice, civilized place to have a cup of tea or a glass of wine. It has comfortable chairs, nicely spread out so it is not too noisy and so easy to have a conversation. The service is sometimes a little slow but always pleasant.

Lovely by the fire, except people talk loudly and it gets very packed so difficult to enjoy your book

A great hidden gem in the village! Excellent roast, very well prepared and presented iced almond milk latte, and a wonderfully comfortable environment.

Cute atmosphere, disgusting coffee. I took a cappuccino, it tasted burnt. I drank a few sips and threw it away. The sofa was comfortable though...

Such a cute cozy spot to go to get some work done in the morning or for intimate drinks at night.

Hidden spot of Washington Square Park area with cozy atmosphere and good service. Good for group meeting and solo working. The concept reminds the Ace Hotel lobby with Stumptown Coffeeshop in the front.
