1999 ZAGAT Survey: New York City Marketplace

Empire Coffee and Tea                    QUALITY - excellent
Ninth Ave, New York City, NY                    VALUE - extraordinary
Washington St., Hoboken                   SERVICE - excellent

Since 1910 this "homespun" purveyor of "flavorful beans" and "excellent teas" at "great prices" has been enticing connoisseurs to this rapidly gentrifying strip of Ninth Ave.; stalwarts praise the "beautiful selection", "great specials" and "personalized service", all of which keep their favorite shop at the "top of the pack".
