Irving Farm Coffee: New York's Neighborhood Roaster with a Northeast Spirit
Irving Farm Coffee has been roasting in the heart of New York City for decades, earning a loyal following among the Northeast's most discerning coffee drinkers. Named for its flagship café at 71 Irving Place in Gramercy Park, the roastery channels an unmistakably urban spirit — approachable yet thoughtfully sourced, consistent yet curious. Their lineup leans into a broad roast spectrum: from the delicate, organically certified Highline Light Roast with its lemon, hibiscus, and wildflower honey notes, to the intensely smoky South Street Super Dark, a true French roast built for milk and sugar.
On the single-origin side, Irving Farm keeps things focused and purposeful. The Konga, Ethiopia — a washed Yirgacheffe from the Konga cooperative — delivers white peach, jasmine, and tangerine with a light, crisp body, while the Los Alisos, Peru brings cantaloupe, clover honey, and red grape from the La Prosperidad Co-Op at 1,900 meters elevation. Their blends tell a New York story: the 71 Irving House Blend is the everyday workhorse (milk chocolate, caramel, clementine), and Blackstrap Espresso offers balanced molasses depth equally at home in a drip or a double shot.
Whether you're a daily commuter brewing at dawn or an at-home barista dialing in espresso, CoffeeByMe's AI recommendation feature can match you to the Irving Farm coffee that fits your cup style.
