Black Cat LES is a neighborhood-driven coffee and tea house located in the heart of the Lower East Side in New York City. We are committed to providing the best quality and healthiest products and ingredients sourced from local suppliers. Our menu features locally freshly roasted coffee beans from free trade sources, organic milk from free-range smiling cows, and happy eggs from free-roaming hens.

We also strive to offer organic and GMO-free options. At Black Cat LES, we pride ourselves on maintaining a cozy ambiance and having a friendly staff of passionate baristas. Our space is perfect for meetings, study groups, and even as a quiet place to work.

We offer free Wi-Fi, comfortable seating, and vintage lounge furniture. Additionally, we host a variety of free events including open-mic and comedy shows, academic lectures, themed movie nights, and even offer tutoring services. Owned by Aaron Ho, who is also a criminology professor, Black Cat LES aims to build a community and bring together like-minded intellects.

We believe that the way we prepare ourselves for the day makes all the difference, and our cafe is where students, academics, professionals, and intellectuals come to work outside of their usual environments.
