Marathon Coffee

Located on Third Avenue between 89th and 90th Streets, this Upper East Side spot pairs a dependable coffee program with a generous selection of baked goods. Alongside drip coffee and cold brew, the menu features specialty espresso drinks—including a house-made vanilla latte—plus matcha, chai, and non-dairy milk options. The pastry case offers plenty of variety, from cruffins and scones to pumpkin bread and organic muffins. The space itself is clean, bright, and relaxing, complete with a tiny, two-seat bar for those looking to pause for a quick moment.
