Hole In The Wall - Flatiron
37 W 24th St, New York, NY
Crema's Take
“Tucked into the Flatiron, this cozy spot strikes that perfect balance between serious coffee craft and welcoming third-space vibes, where a genuinely friendly staff makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit. Beyond their really solid cappuccinos, they've built a loyal following with creative breakfast dishes like kimchi scrambles and dulce de leche waffles, plus a thoughtful menu that spans espresso martinis and lemongrass tea for all-day appeal. It's the kind of place where people linger—just snag a table away from the counter if you're sensitive to cold drafts, and definitely book ahead during peak hours.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

My wife and I enjoyed a very positive experience here recently. Food was pleasant (kimchi scramble, burger + fries, broccolini, smoothies, espresso martini, lemongrass tea) and all staff we interacted with--particularly Jake, the manager--were warm and professional. Would…
We didn't have a reservation so the wait was expected. Anthony, the host, was very engaging and kept us abreast of when a table would be ready. Offered us water while we waited which was very thoughtful. He finally seated us at a nice sized table towards the back. Anthony, our…
Came to Hole in the Wall Flatiron without a reservation and ended up waiting about 20–30 minutes for a table. I’d definitely recommend booking ahead. The outdoor seating wasn’t very comfortable since it was pretty cold (the had a heater in one corner, but doesn’t do anything),…
