Frequently asked questions
Why do coffee people mention Everyman with reverence?
It trained and employed a generation of award-winning baristas and set espresso standards early. The pedigree is in the cup.
Is there seating?
A little, in the theater-lobby space. Treat it as a quality stop, not a workspace.
Is Everyman a place to sit and work?
No. Seating in the theater lobby space is limited, so treat it as a quality stop between Union Square and the East Village rather than a workspace.
