A Calm Midtown Cafe With Classical Music

Morning coffee runs with housemade matcha scones and breakfast burritos, a short walk from the United Nations.

Make room for a calm coffee break.

🎶 Heart Coffee and Calm Sound

Pennylane Coffee makes a Midtown morning feel unusually composed. Heart Coffee brews meet a calming classical soundtrack, and the counter pours cold brew, chai, and a matcha latte alongside the house mocha. Start with an unsweetened mocha and a housemade matcha scone, then pick a breakfast of bacon, egg, cheese, and avocado rolls, a burrito, or overnight oats.

You will find it on East 45th Street near the United Nations, where the UN lunch break draws a daily crowd between half past two and 3 PM. Arrive earlier for first pick of the seats in a thoughtfully organized room. Monday through Thursday the cafe runs from 7 AM to 6 PM, Friday from 7 AM to half past five PM, and Saturday and Sunday from half past seven AM to half past two PM. A free 10th cup rewards anyone who turns this into the weekday coffee run.
