Nous Espresso Bar: Sushi, Manhattan, NYC

Tucked inside Columbia University's Philosophy Hall, this modern, high-ceilinged cafe serves Blue Bottle Coffee, Rishi Tea, matcha lattes, sandwiches, and Japanese dishes like sushi and donburi bowls. The sunlit space functions as a tight-knit community hub where visitors encounter friendly service, baked goods such as cream cheese pockets, and savory options like pork banh mi, though entry generally requires an ID badge for graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, or faculty.
