Crema's Take
“Paper Coffee's pastries are genuinely among the best in the city, with standout creations like orange olive oil cake and molasses cookies that justify a special trip, though their croissants don't quite hit French standards. This 18th-floor hotel café feels like a calm urban retreat with thoughtful specialty drinks including an excellent iced sparkling matcha lemonade, though seating is limited since the space is shared with hotel guests. The friendly baristas and peaceful atmosphere make it perfect for a focused work session or meeting, as long as you don't expect to linger for hours.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu.

The atmosphere is amazing, coffee is incredible overall exceptional. Pastries are about as good as they get in NYC, but the Crossaint falls well short of standard in France. The only negative really. Still easily better than most!
Nice atmosphere. Excellent service. Had a brief chat with the barista. She was sweet and gave me a few recommendations. The iced sparkling matcha lemonade was very good. Will be returning!

Next up is Paper Coffee, a beautifully tucked-in café on the 18th floor of a hotel along West 29th Street. From the moment you step inside, the space feels like a calm retreat above the city—a luminous, airy environment where sunlight pours in across the floor-to-ceiling…
I popped in for a quick coffee and pastry between meetings and this was perfect. Limited seating but it’s in the hotel so guests circulate fairly quickly. Friendly staff, great moderately quiet ambiance, and good coffee and pastries.
