Derby Cup Coffee

Nestled at 37 Elizabeth Street, Derby Cup Coffee captivates with its tack-room allure-dark-stained cherry wood, leather horse accoutrements, and janky, boot-stool seating that defies New York's sleek minimalism in favor of intimate, hangout warmth. Founder Yasmin Kaytmaz, a self-proclaimed horse girl with downtown cred, sources robust roasts from Brooklyn's Variety Coffee Roasters and artisanal pastries from Partybus Bakeshop, including ham and Gruyère baguettes and cardamom olive oil pistachio cakes that elevate every sip and bite. Adventurous local artwork adorns the walls, inviting art and fashion crowds to linger outdoors or inside, making it a vital, chic oasis in a coffee-scarce neighborhood.
