Go ahead, have another cup.
MANHATTAN
► Cafe Jax, 318 E. 84th St., Upper East Side
With two floors of large chairs and eclectic worktables, Cafe Jax is a favorite haunt of freelancer. Stop by for a selection of coffee drinks (cortados, espressos and red eyes are all customer favorites) as well as their passion fruit and lavender donuts.
► Fair Folks & A Goat, 96 W. Houston St., NoHo
You've got a gym membership, so why not one for your favorite coffee shop? For $35 a month, Fair Folks & A Goat offers you all the coffee, tea, espressos and chai lattes you can drink in a shop that also sells hipster clothes and accessories. There are also East Village and Upper East Side branches.
BROOKLYN
► Caprices by Sophie, 138 N. Sixth St., Williamsburg
For some Parisian charm in the heart of Williamsburg, head over to Caprices by Sophie. Don't be afraid of pairing that cup of coffee with a raspberry éclair or a pâte à choux from the shop's pastry selection.
► Breukelen Coffee House, 764 Franklin Ave., Crown Heights
Looking for a place to plant yourself for a couple of hours while you finish some work? Breukelen has a large communal area that allows visitors to order cup after cup of while typing away furiously on their laptops.
BRONX
► Marie's Fresh Roasted Coffee, 2388 Arthur Ave., Belmont
This Italian neighborhood jaunt has been serving up coffee for more than 60 years. Stop by for a wide selection of roasted and unroasted coffee beans as well as delicious Italian baked treats.
► La Casa Del Caffe, 1036 Morris Ave., Morris Park
There's usually a line of customers snaking outside this north Bronx coffee shop, but the wait is definitely worth it.

► Sweetleaf, 10-93 Jackson Avenue, Long Island City
This coffee shop, owned by Richard Nieto, uses top-rated roasters from all over the city for java classics like espresso and macchiato as well as a cold brew with maple syrup and chicory. It's also the place to go for ambiance since it's decorated with Parisian antiques. There is another Long Island City location as well as a Williamburg shop.
STATEN ISLAND
► Everything Goes Book Cafe, 208 Bay St., Tompkinsville
