Very cute cafe! Yummy coffee and they have Gluten free & Dairy free treats which is so hard to find in a cafe. Usually it’s one or the other. Staff was super nice! :) Thank you for your lovely service.

I went to this cafe almost every week over a year. Most of the staff were friendly, except one lady with glasses. On Dec 10th around 5:50pm, I went to this cafe again and ordered a decaf latte as usual. But the lady with glasses did not greet me at all, not to mention a smile. I felt I was not welcomed.
I ordered the decaf latte and she made it for me. Usually they put the drink in a to-go cup without a lid. But this time she was about to put a lid on. I told her I didn’t need the lid, then she said “ just letting you know we are closing at 6pm”. Then I realised it was only 9 minutes left before they closed. However they usually close at 7pm every day. If I knew they closed earlier than normal, I might not even walk in, as I would prefer to stay. So I asked if it’s just today they close earlier or not. Then lady replied “yes just today”, apparently IMPATIENT, without looking at me, which pissed me off. So I said “ you should have let me know earlier “. I was a regular customer and I usually stayed in this cafe for around 30-60 minutes. I was sure she knew this as she was a regular staff too. But she replied “ there is a sign on the door”. When I walked out, I checked the sign on the door. It was so SMALL and outside was already so DARK. How can she expect every customer to see the tiny sign??????
Last but not least, the decaf latte she made tasted awful compared to previous drinks.

With the expressed promise that I would purchase a coffee after using their bathroom, they did not allow me to use it. I felt zero compassion from the people who worked there.

I’m writing this 5-star review in defence of Gene! What the heck is wrong with the angry people. The atmosphere is fantastic; what a cool space in a flatiron building corner. The crowd is varied; there’s literally two ladies either praying over each other or doing reiki right now - just casually. Now one is massaging the other, rock on. It’s bright in here despite the rain. And the coffee is just fine! It’s a darker roast than what the other places serve, but it’s great if you like a more robust kick. The service was friendly, too. This is a great spot!

Good croissants, coffee left a lil more to be desired. Not a comfortable cafe to sit at for too long. But it's a sweet spot and nice to chat and meet up with friends quickly in the middle of the day
Service here was great. My chai latte was good. Cookies were awesome. I love the vibe of this place. One thing I didn’t like was that the tea bag for my chai latte was kept in my drink and at the bottom of my drink was a bunch of the spices.

Over all I just found it kind of cold. I don’t think fundamentally they did anything wrong. I ordered a cortado and apparently forgot to ask for a decaf. They didn’t offer to remake it. So I just gave it away to another customer and walked out because I didn’t want to spend ten bucks just to get a coffee. I just kinda felt dumb so I left.
