6. ProjectFIND Coffeehouse in the Holy Cross Church

ProjectFind, one of the hidden coffee shops in NYC

This coffeehouse is a bit different from the rest: Project FIND‘s Coffeehouse is a senior center, located in the undercroft of midtown’s Holy Cross Church. It provides breakfast and lunch and coffee free for seniors five days a week and also offers health and wellness activities. Located at 331 West 42nd Street, between 8th and 9th avenues, it also provides a Thursday meal program and a take-away meal program for vulnerable individuals. The coffeehouse offers plenty of volunteer opportunities, which can be found here.
