I love Radina's! I've moved away from Manhattan and miss hanging out at my coffee shop so much! The counter service is tops in Manhattan. They are more friendly and less like robot employees than other establishments. Walking through the front door one is first greeted by a fully functioning coffee bean roaster, quickly followed by a warm hello from someone behind the counter. If you are not sure of what you want to drink, just ask for help. They are well educated in what they have to offer and will find something to suit your tastebuds. There are standard tables and chairs, but then there is an amazing couch. Everyone who walks through the door hopes the couch is open. It's towards the back of the store so it's cozy and intimate without feeling secluded.\r
If you are visiting, passing through, or even driving west on I-70 Radina's should be at the top of your list. Don't buy gas station coffee when you could have coffee brewed from beans that were roasted only a fews days before, if not that day.\r
Amazing! I miss it. I would make the trip back just to stop in at Radina's. It was my home away from home.
