Lots of seating inside! Got a hot tea since I came 30min to closing and they had already gotten rid of all of their food.

I've been coming to this place for two years now and the food is surprisingly good for a small cafe! However, the value is not there. If you get a salad and add chicken you end up at around $25 (with tip etc.) for a salad - not great value but always delicious. The real issue is the wait time: I often order soup to go and it takes like 10-15 minutes to heat up - makes no sense! and then often it's only 3/4 filled - given the price - please fill whole container. That said, the people at the counter are lovely and the food is very good.

Super chill café with good food and nice outdoor seating. The owners are wonderful and very attentive. Their vegetable cream cheese I’ve ever had.

Muse Café & Tea might be one of the only spots in NYC that actually understands the early-morning remote worker.
I came in just before 8am on a weekday, most cafés around here don’t even open until 10 and not only were they open, but they were fully staffed, welcoming, and ready to go. Super rare.
The food was surprisingly great for a café: I had a pressed sandwich with egg, turkey, greens, and tomato—fresh, warm, and not overly greasy. Their espresso was bold and well-pulled, no burnt taste. Even the little salad on the side was fresh and colorful.
What really makes this place stand out is the vibe. It’s quiet, spacious enough to get work done, and you’re not battling techno music or crammed into a corner. If you’re looking for a calm, early open café with real food and space to think, Muse nails it.
Bonus: tons of menu options, friendly service, and they’re open from 7am on weekdays. This place is a go-to for anyone who starts their day early and wants to avoid the chaotic brunch crowd.

No frills local cafe with surprisingly large menu and drinks selection including smoothies. The pastries are homemade and delicious. A few outside tables and decent inside seating options. Very Brooklyn. Pleasant and friendly service. Very kids friendly. Not very laptop friendly.

Reviews of places I've been
The French Toast at Muse is divine. Definitely, treat yourself to this perfection. I love that it's not smothered in powdered sugar and it's served with an ample side of fresh fruit. I've also tried the turkey panini at Muse and it was fantastic. The Americano is perfect and has just the right quantity of espresso. There's a wonderful, tasty selection of croissants and sweet breads. The service is very friendly and attentive. Muse is a great cafe to sit a while on your own, or hang out with friends. Also great for carryout.

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I've been here once before and its never been an issue. I come in today with my laptop to do work and immediately purchase a drink before sitting down. I sit down at the table in the corner of the cafe and the woman who served me my drink came up to me saying I couldn't use my laptop in here via the signs. I was unaware of the signs and she then said I needed to sit at the communal tables. I then responded that I wasn't comfortable sitting over there and that there was a young man also on his computer at a small table like me. I told her if she wanted me to move then she needed to ask him as well and she walked away mid sentence. I have no problem with following rules but they need to apply to everyone not just me. Not sure why I was singled out but I'll never come back.
My new fav spot! the people are so nice, the best latte in the area for sure
