Lucid Café

A collage of postcards from international tourists who've visited Lucid Café greets customers at the entrance and it's easy to see why this venue is so beloved. Tiny and intimate, this is a family-owned neighborhood shop. A café this cozy in Midtown is rare enough, but Lucid takes its coffee to the next level with its attention to detail. The rich Counter Culture espresso is expertly pulled from a top-of-the-line machine and the drip, from a Japanese slow-dripper, is refreshingly complex. If you're in the mood for something sweet and less caffeinated, the green tea latte never disappoints.
