damnlines for iPhoneLive lines & push alerts — freeGetdamnlines.comBay Area-born specialty coffee chain known in NYC for slow-bar pour-overs and cortados that can draw a crowd at peak morning hours.
damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at Blue Bottle Coffee yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
Wait reports vary sharply by location and time of day. A Tripadvisor reviewer visiting an NYC Blue Bottle in August 2019 said they "waited for my cortado over 10 minutes" and called it the shop with "the longest queue" they'd seen, per Tripadvisor.
Not every visit is slow — other Tripadvisor reviewers of NYC locations describe "not very long waits" and "quick" service, while a September 2019 reviewer complained staff were "spending more time talking to each other" than moving the line, per Tripadvisor.
