I was first tipped off to this coffee shop by an New York Magazine article from 2006 on iced coffee which contained the exciting (for me) revelation that they served Batdorf & Bronson coffee.
They are one of only two places that I know in NYC that serve Batdorf & Bronson coffee (Dancing Goats blend). But due to high shipping costs (all the way from Oly, WA), after a long search and lots of tastings to try to find a replacement that wouldn't be a step down, they are switching--most likely to one roasted in Queens that I thought they called "Dallas"... since I haven't found it online, I'm doubting that I heard the name right...but will update when they finally do make the switch.
On Citysearch, this coffee shop is listed as Full City Coffee (its former name). On NY Mag, it is listed under the name Fruits & Vines (not sure if this is a real former name or just a case of someone hearing the name wrong...The shop definitely says "Roots & Vines" on it).
You can purchase Batdorf & Bronson coffee here until they use up their last few bags and make the switch to another coffee. (Sniff..)
They also have wi-fi, stools at a small bar that looks out on the street, and lots of two-person tables. (Not so good for lounging, but looks like a good place to work.) I read a few complaints on yelp that the atmosphere was all wrong, etc., etc...it was basic, I wouldn't give it a "cutest coffee shop ever" award, but I had no problem with it..
