Black Fox Coffee

The Soul of Specialty: Black Fox Coffee

In the heart of Manhattan, Black Fox Coffee stands apart as a specialty coffee destination that masterfully blends global sophistication with local community spirit. Founded by Daniel Murphy and Gary Hardwick in 2016, Black Fox is one of New York City’s few multi-roasters, curating an ever-rotating selection of the world’s finest coffees. The vision here is clear: create a better café experience, where each cup is a tribute to both producer and customer. Their elegant cafés—found in the Financial District and Midtown—evoke European espresso bars, designed as warm, communal spaces that foster connection and conversation. Sleek interiors, high ceilings, and artful touches set the stage for a coffee experience that is as intentional as it is inviting.

Black Fox’s coffee program is renowned, featuring beans from acclaimed roasters like 49th Parallel, George Howell, and Australia’s Small Batch. Espresso and filter offerings rotate, with both signature blends and single origins providing an international “tour” for the palate. Their skilled baristas craft classics alongside specialties like the Butterscotch Latte, while filter options showcase nuanced, award-winning profiles. Housemade almond milk and customizable iced coffees cater to diverse tastes, and the Aussie-inspired food menu is stacked with brunch favorites, sandwiches, and pastries. At Black Fox, coffee is more than a beverage—it’s an experience rooted in passion, hospitality, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
