Drug Store Coffee

Located street level in the Noelle Hotel downtown, in what was previously the drug store counter at Noel Place. Friendly staff and plenty of coffee options - they serve Sump Coffee with seasonal syrups, HiFi cookies, pastries, and grab-and-go items. Warm natural light and open seating throughout, good for getting work done. Nice escape from Broadway if you’re downtown and need a quality break. Cool touch that they play vinyl from a custom system

This place is amazing - a must visit! The coffee was fantastic, and the food options all looked incredible. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and wow… no exaggeration, it was the best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had. The vibes were immaculate - super cute, cozy, chill, and beautifully decorated. The staff was so welcoming and kind, which made the experience even better. I’ve been to a lot of coffee shops, and this is probably my favorite. We were looking for a great spot to get some laptop work done, and this place went above and beyond. Can’t wait to come back!

This place has absolutely no business being this good. I came in for “just a coffee” and somehow left emotionally supported, over-caffeinated, and questioning why I don’t come here every day. The coffee is strong but not judgy, the tea selection is elite (like, “I suddenly know what oolong is” elite), and everything tastes like it was made by someone who genuinely cares about your happiness. The pup cups are to die for. Just ask Bruno aka Brew-No! Five stars. Would recommend to friends, enemies, and anyone who needs a warm drink and a reason to believe in small joys again.

Drug Store Coffee breaks the mold of typical hotel lobby coffee. A clean bright shop with coffee and food items that are worth stopping for. As an espresso enthusiast I was blown away at consistency across 3 days with the pull of espresso. An assortment of milk and its alternatives will please everyone. Special shoutout to Justice and Kaiden who provided exemplary service.

I was lucky enough to roll in right as Drug Store Coffee launched their new food menu and it did not disappoint. I shared breakfast with my partner and ordered the pork belly bacon breakfast burrito and wow it was so good. Fast filling and packed with rich savory flavor and perfectly balanced. One of those burritos you keep thinking about after you’re done. I also grabbed a few bites of the English muffin sausage sandwich which was equally comforting and well executed. And of course I couldn’t leave without a bag of Sump coffee. Great food great coffee and a place that clearly cares about quality and execution. This spot is doing it right.

Delicious pastries and excellent coffee. They are very welcoming if you want to work on your laptop, with loads of space inside the buikdinf if you want something more quiet and comfortable. The staff are incredibly friendly

For a quaint little coffee shop, this is a good one. They have all kinds of coffee options and do offer decaf. Some of the choices are rotated through seasonally. The music is a bit loud for working or holding a conversation. But the seating is comfortable, the coffee good, and the service is great!

95 years of classic history. Born in 1930 at Noelle Hotel. Restarting in 2017。 Professional high-end coffee equipment. Known as the "King of Grinding Machines", the Mahlk ö nig Coffee Grinder EK 43 is a top-notch all-round grinder from Germany. Italian espresso grinder. Mahlk ö nig Espresso Grinder K30. Yama Cold Brew Coffee Tower. Fetco Coffee Machine Fetco XTS 2142 。 Professional audio equipment. Two sets of Hazelwood Laboratories Model 2112 complete vinyl+speaker system。 I came three times. It feels different every time. I want to write three comments. But Google only allows once.. Deep exploration of coffee. The selfless immersion in music. A peaceful space for writing. The free roaming of thoughts. Romantic imagination of glass windows. Looking out the window, it looks like a corner in New York. In front of the window, it looks like a street in Edinburgh. The bright light reminds you of Budapest. There is an invisible row of piano keys on the coffee table in front of the window. If you tap the desktop with your fingers. Even if you can't play the piano, you can instantly play Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody. Even if you don't know how to draw, you can still paint Vincent van Gogh's' Caf é at Night '. Even if you don't know how to write, you can still write 'The Sun Also Rises' like Hemingway at the Caf é de Flore in Paris. Even if you don't understand physics, you can draw the Feynman diagram like Nobel laureate Richard Feynman. Perhaps you will also meet Bob Dylan from 1960 here. One day on April 16th, 2025, I slowly stopped here for 30 minutes and saw three birds passing by the window. My heart seems to have passed through a glass window, unconsciously flying with birds to the vast Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya, Africa. When I woke up, I held a warm and fluffy croissant in my hand, tears of longing in my eyes. These tears flowed happily until I came here for the third time yesterday, and my tears stopped. Do I like this caf é, do I miss Africa, or do I crave freedom so much? I don't know? I only know that I enjoy coming here, sitting quietly by the window, slowly lost in thought, letting my thoughts float like dandelions in the sunny blue sea。
