A decent coffee shop that deserves its location and space. Unlike a growing number of cafes in downtown trying to make their atmosphere quick, instant, and somewhat hectic for better customer circulation, this place provides much more relaxed and cozy ambience while maintaining friendly service. If I happen to pass by the area again, I will definitely make a stop here.

Stopped by for an iced americano and hoped for a bathroom too but didn’t seem like they had one, as I saw no signs or doors anywhere else. Lots of seating, not a lot of space to form line, but efficient service and good coffee. My iced americano was slightly bitter but earthy, in a good way!

TLDR coffee, pastries and food are great. Service is very slow. If you are in a hurry, don’t get your coffee there. If you are sitting, be mindful that it will take a while. This is my second time at this coffee shop. My first time was at a casual Wednesday around 3pm. The place wasn’t too busy. I ordered a cookie and a latte. I got the cookie pretty quickly but the coffee took forever. I was the only one in line, I was meeting a friend with had already ordered her coffee. It took mine nearly 15 minutes to be ready. Again, I was the only one in line. Second time was today, a Sunday at 3:50pm. I had 15 minutes wait for the bus so I thought to grab a coffee. I was waiting for 10 minutes with 2 other people that were waiting for their coffee as well. I almost missed my bus. Was thinking to give up on the coffee, but I got it right on time as I saw the bus arriving the station. I really want to love this place and go there more. But with the service being so slow as if there is only one person giving service to everyone, is such a bummer. I do want to mention that the staff odd being nice and welcoming. It is just very very slow.

Small cute coffee shop with good products overall. First of all, the drinks are directly made to go, without the waiter even asking, which I didn’t expect. The atmosphere is nice, but the vibe overall is not cozy and the staff is not very attentive. People come in and go all the time, it is not really the right place to enjoy a cozy coffee and/or to study. I liked their coffee though, and the bowls are good too.

Yummy cardamom bun! Great treat after a work out. Coffee is great, not too milky. It’s also quaint inside with lovely design accents.

Cool little coffee shop with very friendly vibes. Great place for a quick cup of coffee on the go or to sit down and relax. Plenty of people on laptops inside too. The coffee is sourced responsibly and the food is farm to table. The beans are roasted in Red Hook, Brooklyn. I definitely recommend coming here to whether it’s for a cup of coffee or just to say hi!

A nice cafe to work from. Though seats are plenty, it was relatively busy when I went. There is a clean restroom in the basement, which is always a huge plus. I ordered a blue bowl. They were nice enough to sub the banana for me. Though I was a little disappointed at the bowl. The toppings felt skimpy to me. I forgot the bowl came with cacao nibs until I felt a bite and saw there were a few more. The housemade granola is tasty, vegan and gluten free for all my friends who need to know.

EXPAND COMMENT FOR THE COMPLAINT! I absolutely love this place. One of my favorite coffee shops to go to. Generous employees, great coffee, even better food! MY ONLY COMPLAINT! The Air Conditioning does NOT work. It feels like a sauna inside. The fact that employees must work in these conditions seems criminal. And it is only going to get more hot as the summer continues to run its course. Owners need to do something about this ASAP. Or they will see a drop in sales. Plenty of other coffee shops nearby where you are not subjected to that kind of heat. No one wants to step inside a coffee shop (away from the heat of a NYC summer day) and be met with the same if not worse conditions that are outdoors. FIX THIS.

This once-good coffeeshop has lost its way. The drip is frequently bitter and stale (even during the morning rush), the service is slow and scowling, and it remains very expensive. Here’s hoping it returns to form.

I ordered americano and breakfast croissant. The coffee was done with milk added? For americano? Anyway they changed it to black for me. It tasted like a black water instead of any kind of coffee. The croissant was tasty, though the croissant was kinda soggy. Probably won't stop by again

Coffees pretty good, but criminally overpriced (at least the drip). Also, the cups always leak when you drink from them. Not sure what’s going on but it’s very annoying. Better off with one of the many coffee carts in the area.

The flavor of my latte was good. However theres multiple flies inside the pasteries. Theres no way the staff doesn’t know, so I can’t give this place above 1 star.

Coffee is decent but getting to work all drenched in it is not ideal. Should have learnt my lesson from the first time this happened. Saw another customer dropping cupful into garbage because lid kept sliding off. Get better ‘to-go’ cups and lids. I’m off to smelling like caffeine all day. My clothes and backpack got stained.

Might as well check out at a self kiosk no one here greets you thanks you or takes your orders. I have to drink my cold coffee and listen to the workers conversation from the back out of sight. As you can see no one stays near a register and greets people. Let down coffee was cold and tasted old.
