//The line

Enly is a minimalist coffee and tea shop on Mott Street in Nolita that reviewers describe as having gone viral online, drawing crowds for its aesthetic and specialty drinks well beyond the neighborhood's usual foot traffic.

Yelp reviewers describe an inconsistent line: some report waiting only about 10 minutes, while others describe a line out the door during busier stretches, a pattern several attribute to its viral popularity persisting well after the initial spike. At least one reviewer noted a Sunday afternoon visit with no line at all, suggesting off-peak timing can make a real difference.

As a walk-up counter rather than a sit-down cafe, there's no reservation system to fall back on here — the only lever visitors report having is choosing when to show up.

//When the line peaks

How long is the wait at Enly in Nolita?

Damnlines doesn't have a live camera at Enly yet, so we can't give you a real-time count. Based on Yelp reviews, the wait is inconsistent: some visitors report queuing for only around 10 minutes, while others describe a line stretching out the door, especially since the shop went viral online. Off-peak visits (reviewers mention a quiet Sunday afternoon) appear to mean little to no wait.

Does Enly take reservations?

Enly is a walk-up coffee and tea counter, not a sit-down restaurant, and we found no mention of a reservation system in available reviews or listings. Expect to queue in person rather than book ahead.

What are Enly's hours?

Per its Yelp listing, Enly is open Monday 9:00am-5:30pm, Tuesday through Saturday 9:00am-6:00pm, and Sunday 10:00am-6:00pm.

What's the best time to go to Enly to avoid a line?

We don't have live wait data for this venue yet, but reviewer accounts suggest a Sunday afternoon can be notably quieter, while the shop otherwise regularly draws a line out the door during busier hours. Arriving well outside typical weekend and after-work windows is the best bet based on that feedback.
