Intelligentsia Coffee - Chelsea, Manhattan -

Intelligentsia Coffee, Chelsea Manhattan.
 Intelligentsia Coffee is located at 10th Ave between 20st and 21st, in the lobby of "The High Line Hotel" near High Line, Chelsea Manhattan.
 There were some couches in the lobby. They were not many but enough for the space. The time I visited was 13:00. There were 4-5 people and a few tourist, so I was able to relax with a cup of coffee :-)
 Barista served pour-over coffee after I ordered. They used Chemex and takes 4-5 minutes. Water temperature was controlled by a boiler machine. See the link below if you want to know how to pour over coffee by Chemex.

 The coffee had good flavor but a little bit weak (American). Personally, I like Intelligentsia's beans, so it was fine.
There is also terrace in front of entrance.
