This small coffee shop might be tucked away from the main street, but it’s absolutely worth finding. The coffee is rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care.
The staff is super friendly, welcoming, and always ready with a smile. Excellent place for coffee lovers!

I am a regular customer at this café and truly enjoy coming here every day.
Today, I ordered a latte and requested one less shot than usual. However, when I checked my receipt, I noticed that I was charged $2 more than I typically pay.
I inquired about the difference, and I was told that the price hadn’t changed.I absolutely love this café because the coffee is better than anywhere else.
However, I feel there may have been a communication issue, possibly due to my limited English, which is why I’m leaving this message. I would greatly appreciate it if you could double-check next time. Thank you very much!

TLDR:
Just come and drink the coffee, eat the croissant, and finish up with the mini donut. It worth the 5 star.
Personal touch:
The mini donut is my favorite. I personally focus more on the taste of the dough instead of filling for donut, because I like the flavor of the flour. This dough is fantastic.

I was suspicious about the 5 stars but left impressed. Compared to Sey, Devoción, et al - the espresso is exceptional and prepared by humans who actually care about craft.

Great cup of coffee and I got a tiny donut for my first visit! Not much seating inside, some outdoors for you to ponder the inhabitants of the beauty salon or laundromat that sandwich this café.
After my flight from California this was my first stop on my NY trip, couldn’t have started a better way. Coffee and croissants were very delicious, I even bought a bag of their coffee beans to go. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Next time I’m back in NY this will be my first stop again and I recommend everyone to visit this place.

I’m a local New Yorker born and raised here. I’ve been to hundreds of coffee shops all over manhattan, Brooklyn, and queens. I am definitely a person of quality, aka I’m picky. As a proud Italian American I have a high standard of food and coffee in general. This is probably my favorite spot in all of New York. The beans are the best you can get, the craftsmanship behind the baristas, and of Course the really nice blonde girl who’s always keeping it real and holding it down behind the window. I also like to switch it up and order matcha, yea i know you love it or ya hate it. I loveee it! which I’m picky AF about and it’s also perfection. No they don’t have premade sugary matcha, like who does that? Bizarre. They only keep it 100 about everything they serve. Try the bomboloni if they have any left.
Amazing coffe and friendly service .
Kudos to Shone and team
