Whoever was working today needs a raise or something. Poor guy was all by himself handling a constant rush. He was locked in though, very impressive.

The barista today was superhuman. He had so many orders to tend to, and delivered dozens of delicious coffees to many delighted customers, moving like a ninja to do so, all while being exceptionally kind and even remembering the orders of all the regulars! It can’t have been easy, but he did it with tremendous precision and skill. All in all, I am so grateful that I enjoyed another absolutely splendid half hour at what I think to be NYC’s greatest coffee shop. Absolutely legendary!

Speaking as a former barista, the coffee is fantastic. Service wasn’t the friendliest, but not rude either and I guess that’s the norm anyway. Only a couple tables indoors, but outside is nice while the weather is still decent.

The drinks are good here but the service is really good. The owner once helped me rescue a baby bird on my block so give this place some love!

The coffee is excellent, and the music creates a lovely atmosphere. It's the kind of peaceful place every neighborhood would benefit from having.

After trying out several overpriced matchas in the area near Columbia I finally found a place that is reasonable and has really good quality matcha! This is gonna be my regular matcha stop from now on.

I met a potential roommate her. She bought me an apple turnover which I will buy again. It tasted amazing. Regular haunt for university students. There were adults and a toddler. Sitting is limited inside and four table and eight chairs outside. Great concept. As a non coffee drinker I can’t comment on taste but seems to have a great menu for coffee lovers. Clientele while I was there was mixed. Seems to be a better alternative to Starbies which is a block away. They it. I think it’ll be a regular spot of most new people to try.

I was skeptical of other 5 star reviews, but this place will be the best place for your Latte around here for sure. I don’t know what they did on my coffee but the milk foam is unbelievably silky and creamy. I also thought they put sugar in my latte since the milk itself is really sweet. I’m on my halfway through finishing my latte and even the bottom is silky. I assume they use great quality milk. I’m glad that I found a gem place in upper west and the price is also cheaper than Starbucks with amazing service and superior quality of coffee. $5.75 on medium size latte Cons: the space tiny, so you won’t be able to find a seat in most chances(only 4 tiny tables) and you may have to line for 5-10m. I think it worth it though

One of the best coffees I’ve tried in NY. I am a coffee drinker and usually rate coffee shops for their taste and quality and this is top coffee. The place is very small, but the ambiance is great and the staff is amazing! Highly recommend it if you are near by.

Nice coffee shop. Punches above its weight. It has delicious and unique croissant offerings. The espresso is incredible. I had a cortado and it was exactly what I needed. There are some chairs in front. Customer service is top-notch. No nonsense, with great efficiency. Heads up the chairs that are perpendicular to the entrance are underneath a pigeon nest, as evidenced by the little bits of poop on the ground.

The espresso here is absolutely insane. I don’t think I’ve ever had espresso that smooth in my entire life and now I’m wondering why I spent 32 years of my life abusing my tastebuds with large chain coffee.

Great cute place to have coffee and croissant! With a small place to seat outside. Just besides there is the memory of a dead cyclist that is also intetesting to see

Oh, definitively on of the best coffee places in New York! The coffee always tastes exceptionally good. The barristas are highly skilled. They also have a small selection of pastry, croissants and so on. The place is very small with only very few tables, so you might not be ble to find a seat.

Coffees are definitely way above average in the area, haven't disappointed me for once. Decent pastries too.

Great quality coffee. The bakery stuff seems defrosted and delivered and definitely overpriced for the quality, not worth it. Nice service and has some seating inside though there are many students that frequent.

Andreas Mehlsen

Decent coffee, fine croissants, fair prices. The seating is very limited, they only have four small tables so you might consider something to-go here instead of staying.

I went in for a tea and I shoulda gone to the deli!! They don’t even put the sugar in for you… it’s more expensive and DO NOT get me started with their cent lids! If they are paying more for them, they should stop!! It will not stay on no matter how hard you press it down! Starbucks “a chains”employees being nicer and actually saying good morning is the biggest kicker. Needless to say they will not be getting anymore of my $$
