Drip Drop Café, coffee shop

drip drop café has built a following the quiet way: by being consistently good rather than occasionally spectacular. thompson street in soho gets a lot of foot traffic, a lot of options, and a lot of places content to coast on location alone. this one doesn't. the regulars who come back aren't doing it out of habit, they're doing it because the coffee holds up, visit after visit. that kind of loyalty doesn't accumulate by accident, it gets earned through repetition and care at a granular level. if you're in the area and need somewhere to actually sit and think, 98 thompson is worth your time. start with whatever's on the drip.
