High & Dry

amazing coffee, tea and employees!! 10/10

Came here to kill some time whilst waiting for my hotel check in time. Barista was really lovely, greeted me as I walked in, immediately asked and prepared my drink. Place itself has a very chill vibe and lots of regulars, despite that they pay attention to new customers too.

Discovered this little cafe by chance and it was the perfect place to land for a refreshing ice tea and cold brew and to recharge our phones. Not a tourist place at all just local folks but the vibe was so chill and welcoming. It’s a very small cafe with not much embellishment but the perfect oasis in a very busy area.

Stumbled upon this coffee shop while waiting for Elmiene’s “live from” next door at damballa. I was pleasantly surprised, staff was amazing, the vibe was chill, there is a sweet coffee shop dog named “cashew” the othe. Drinks are fire! I got the brown sugar caramel latte with almond milk and it was 10/10. Went back the next day to get another one before I left! Bathroom isnt the nicest but it will do! Stop by if you’re in the neighborhood, if you aren’t stop by anyway, it’s easy to go to from manhattan!

I stop by at this coffee shop since I needed a double shot of espresso to keep me up for a party later that night. As u walk in it’s a small place but has a great feel to it. It has low light, a bar to sit at, with tables surrounding. I did not have time to stay and enjoy the comfort that this place had to offer, the gentleman was behind the counter was great as well,

A bite (or sip)-sized joint of Brooklyn! Owner & dog was really sweet!

I'm absolutely grateful to have found this place. The vibe is warm and inviting, the prices are surprisingly affordable, and the bartender was incredibly attentive and friendly. I can already see myself becoming a regular here. It's a real blessing to live in a city that has such lovely, alcohol-free social spaces.

Recently visited High and Dry. The space is simple yet inviting. The menu is straightforward. Off the bat that sort of restraint gives High and Dry a refreshingly down-to-earth feel. Garret, the counter person / barista, ran the place solo with a mix of professionalism and coolness. Despite being the only one behind the bar, he was both charming and efficient. Even though he was quite busy, his vibe added to the relaxed atmosphere. Clearly, he enjoys being in the space and that made me feel happy to be there too. I ordered an iced tea, a chamomile blend if I recall. It was refreshing and something I’d definitely have again. What really stood out though about my visit was how welcome I felt. High and Dry seems to attract an even mix of those taking out (I was there around 1 pm), others working quietly, and some just hanging out (like me). At one point, a nice stranger offered me some of his snack, and I had a brief, pleasant chat with the person beside me who thought her seat caught a bit too much sun. These small interactions captured the beauty of the place. It’s clear that Garret (and I hope the entire staff) subtly curates an environment that fosters these pleasant, spontaneous moments. And if that's not your thing, there's plenty of space to keep to yourself too. If I lived closer, I have no doubt High and Dry would be one of my daily stops.

Absolutely without a doubt one of the best little hidden gems in the area. Great spot to get some work done on a laptop, socialize with friends, or make new friends. Super friendly staff! Great drinks! House made syrups!

Best people I’ve met out of all the neighborhoods in Manhattan & Brooklyn. They are cultivating a community that leaves you with a beautiful message in your heart. When I go to high and dry, I feel love and care not just from the quality of products they serve, but by the people making them.

Super chill vibes to do work in or hang with a friend. Love the drinks and friendly baristas. My favorite baristas are Ariel and Sam ❤️🐌

Everyone is friendly, even the dog, and the espresso is good too!

I love this spot. Great place to hang out or just swing by and grab something to go. Everyone behind the bar is super chill and helpful. Totally recommend to anyone.

Perfect spot to transition from WFH to evening chilling out. I love to wrap up my day here, chat with the baristas and regulars, and read a book by candle light. Great music choices, the kombucha is a must have ❤️

Keyah Dawson

Such a great addition to the neighborhood! Super friendly staff and a wholesome environment. Highly recommend the macha latte and the sparkling butterfly lemonade

A nice change from your local Starbucks. Not the best for food, but coffee is great!
