good coffee in midtown, within a 10 minute walk of 52nd & Madison?

[prima]

I like the Dean & Deluca outpost near Rockefeller Center and the Joe the Art of Coffee in Grand Central, but I'd love to have some other places for take-out coffee on my shortlist. Are there any others you'd recommend?

I believe that Momofuku Milk Bar at 15 W. 56th Street serves Stumptown coffee.

Just to note, Bouchon Bakery replaced the Dean & Deluca in Rock Center.

Oh thanks- I had no idea. Haven't been to Rockefeller Center since last March. ;-) Guess that will mean I'll have an opportunity to try Bouchon's sticky bun. I'm a big fan of the Balthazar sticky bun that can be found at Dean & Deluca http://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/04/02/the-bun-report-hot-cross-and-sticky/ http://www.ediblemanhattan.com/magazi...

Bouchon replaced one of them; pretty sure there's still a Dean & Deluca in there.

Oren's at 3rd Ave and 51st; one of the great, too-little known coffee makers in the city.

[I wonder if some posters here must presume the OP has wings to reach the places they recommend in the time requested.]

Oren's Daily Roast
830 3rd Ave, New York, NY 10022

The only one out of range is Culture and possibly Zibetto. I don't like Oren's or Fika, although the latter does have some good sweets, and A Kafe has been terrible in my two visits, just very badly prepared. Zibetto is OK if you like Italian style espresso, has a different vibe from anything else in NYC.

Zibetto, 56th & 6th

Blue Bottle is fixed to open in the Concourse at Rockefeller.

They're opening tomorrow (3/13).

I like Fika a whole bunch. They not only have great coffee, their baked goods are excellent. They are a swedish coffee shop

Fika

Just opposite Fika is A Kafe. They serve Counter Culture as espresso or through a Clover.

A Cafe
42 W 58th St, New York, NY 10019

Probably more like a 15 minute walk, but Culture Esperesso Bar (38th & 6th)--also serving Stumptown, I think (at least that's whose beans they are selling). I've only tried their drip, but enjoyed it.

-----
Culture Espresso Bar
72 W 38th St, New York, NY 10018

[Peter Cuce]

They use a variety of beans but I didn't know Stumptown was one of them. Last time I was there they had Intelligentsia and PT's. They do a good job with almost everything.

[Peter Cuce]

The Shop at the Andaz Hotel on 41st and 5th Ave. Usually well-prepared Cafe Grumpy coffee and quality homemade sweets. They have food too I believe, but I haven't had any.

Rize Coffee, on 42nd & Lex, is hard to find, but it's just off the southwest corner of the intersection. I haven't been in about six months, but as of last visit they were purveying Stumptown that ranged from tolerable to not bad.

There are other spots, some closer to you, but none I'd remotely recommend.
