Best coffee in Greenpoint 🙌🏼 and I would literally cross land and sea for their Halloumi Harissa eggs! This is a 10/10 spot, perfection 👌🏼

Got a coffee today and it just tasted so watery and tasteless. Disappointing because it’s not usually like that

Alula is my daily go-to and one of the favorite parts of my day. Their service window means I don't have to apologize for having my small dog with me and the freshly prepared pastries are a terrific treat. If you want something more substantial, there is a full array of healthy, hearty, and delicious offerings. Personal favorites are the cauliflower shawarma, chicken wrap, and avocado-labneh-zaatar sandwich.

Food is delicious, tons of choices, and the drinks were super yummy. The staff was also so nice and attentive. We stayed here long enough that we got some glasses of wine and they were BIG pours for $10 each. Definitely coming back!

I’ve been here several times and I think it is a bit overhyped, honestly. It’s not awful, but it’s definitely not the best . There is so much better Arab food options in this city.
I ordered a falafel bowl and it was sooo salty-The falafel was the most salty, dense and dry. In addition to the falafel, the plate also had chickpeas and potatoes. Overall, it just wasn’t a well nutritionally balanced plate of food and very heavy on the carbs. All the vegetables were overcooked, and this deserved some fresh elements like Fattoush or tabuleh. This is my last attempt eating here.

Big love to Alula. My favorite coffee shop in a neighborhood full of coffee shops. Great cold brew, friendly baristas, delicious pastries. The lunch dishes are all really good, and the backyard's great in the summer time.
