cozy coffee shop in midtown?

Are there any good and cozy coffee shops in midtown (east or west) where a couple of people can sit down (preferably on a couch) and have a conversation?

Kind of a second question, but any coffee shops in the same area that have free wireless?

    on lexington and 30th (ok just shy of midtown) is this place called Brazil tea house. There is free wireless-i jumped on the ramada's from next door. There is one couch and couple chairs and lots of little tables

      This may be outside of your range, but as of about a year ago, there was a cozy little cafe behind the Port Authority on 9th ave. I think they had free wireless too. I think that it was called something with "cupcake" in the name. Sorry I can't be more specific.

        Do you mean Cupcake Cafe? It's on 9th Av., and recently moved from the corner of 39th St. to a new location b/t 40th & 41st Sts.

        There's The Coffee Pot on 9th & 49th.
        I believe they have some sort of internet access, though I doubt it's free (though in this neighborhood you might also be able to piggyback a stray signal)

            Montparnasse is a French bistro. I haven't been in quite some time, but I do recall that the seating was very comfortable.
