NYC Coffee Shop Map

I am Justin Melillo, and I am drawing every coffee shop in New York. This map holds the 89 cafes I have drawn so far, from the West Village to the Upper East Side and across the river into Brooklyn. Most of them are in my book, Coffee Shops of New York, a signed hardcover of 100 pen and ink illustrations. Tap a pin to see the cafe. The open circles are the ones with a drawing online.

Filled dot: a cafe from the book. Open circle: a cafe with a drawing online. Cafes open, close and move, so check before you go.

Which neighborhood has the most coffee shops on the map?

I'm on a mission to draw every coffee shop in New York.

I’ve always loved coffee - but what I love even more is the ritual of sipping it in New York’s endlessly inspiring cafés. This city’s coffee culture is unlike anywhere else in the world. Every shop has its own character, its own community - friends catching up, first dates unfolding, writers lost in thought, creators building their dreams.

I earned my BFA from the School of Visual Arts here in New York, before working at DreamWorks Animation in Los Angeles, Magic Leap in Miami, and later starting my own venture-backed tech company. Yet no matter where I went, I felt pulled back to this city - the place that feels like home and fuels my creativity like nowhere else.

This book is my love letter to New York, told through drawings of its coffee shops, one by one. Each copy is a signed, limited-edition pre-order - and once they’re gone, they won’t be reprinted at this price.

Reserve yours today and join me on my mission to capture every café in the greatest city in the world.
