I started coming to this Hungry Ghost when I was pregnant because I was obsessed with the breakfast tacos, and now my daughter is nine months old it’s still part of our morning routine. At this point I’m confident i’ve met every single person who works here, and they’re all great, definitely not “allergic to friendliness.” My daughter actually lights up when she sees them, which tells you everything you need to know. My vanilla iced latte is always perfect, and there are at least five coffee shops closer to my apartment, but I still walk past them all to come here.

Came in hoping for a “Hungry Ghost” but left feeling more like a “Thirsty One.” The guy at the register seemed allergic to friendliness, and my iced latte had all the coffee strength of a bedtime glass of milk. Brooklyn has plenty of cafés that can do both service and flavor right — sadly, this wasn’t one of them.

This hungry ghost is markedly worse than other locations I’ve been too. The taste and quality of coffee is significantly worse and I can’t figure out exactly why that is outside of the barista’s just being bad. For example, their lattes are typically way too milky and don’t have a good ratio of milk to ice to coffee ratio. The quality of the espresso pull might also be lacking here.

I've been to this coffee shop before and usually enjoy my order, but this time was really disappointing. I ordered the exact same drink I always get, but it tasted like straight-up milk — barely any coffee at all. I knew something was off as soon as I tasted it. I was too nervous to speak up, so my mom went back to ask about it. The guy who made it admitted he purposely added less ice so it would have more milk — even though I never asked for that. Then he told us that if I wanted more espresso, I’d have to pay extra. No apology, no effort to fix it, just attitude. Note to anyone planning to stop by: maybe avoid going around 1:20 PM if you want your drink made right — or if you’d prefer not to be served by someone who acts like a total jerk for no reason.

Didn't get to take the photo,but on wednesday, I order the latte with half&half and a splash of simple syrup.If he read this he knows.The coffee was foamy and sweet and NO LATTE ART AT ALL! You know wht you did ,dude.Saw lots of good reviews and I make a stop while heading around that area. Even if they offer that coffee free I wouldn't drink again.

They say nice baristas, my baristas were very dry faced hipster looking guys, polite yes, but what a bad mood they had, the coffee 10 out of 10, the atmosphere is given by the people serving so.., ah! They gave my a pastry in a bag where I could have fit the entire counter, I took the pastry out and handed the bag back and they were not attentive at all, acted like I was handing them a bomb and didn’t offer to throw it away themselves, I couldn’t spot the bin easily and took them some time to help me out.

Both pictures are from different days but in the same locations! I love this place! I found this spot when we dropped off our firstborn at Fordham and this has been music to my ears since! I am from Arizona and Cartel Coffee has been my favorite I have had a subscription to them since I tried it eight years ago!, but Hair Bender is a game changer for me! Love it!!
