Walked in to this coffee spot and enjoyed an Oat Latte with Vanilla Syrup and enjoyed it. Service was nice and quick.

I have tried a bunch of different coffee shops in the neighborhood. This one is my favorite and honestly has the best matcha i’ve had(maybe ever?) They get the color right every time!! And it’s reasonably priced(compared to others) Love it!!! :)

I feel bad for the girl because she’s always there and seems overworked. She’s nice and the breakfast wrap is good. The matcha not so much. Seems like the owner is strict about unreasonable policies

Just moved to the area, thought I’d try to find my coffee shop. Ordered an ice chai…sat down and waited 8-10mins. I had to go back to the counter to remind them I ordered a drink. Insane! Ohh, the chai was also 63% milk 31% sugar free vanilla and 6% chai. Like c’mon

Latte! Yes do it. Their coffee is solid.

Hey friends! This review is about sustainability only. ☺️
I am happy to see that you do, indeed offer reusable mugs, glassware, and cutlery to those who are dining in house. But it seems that there is an incredible disconnect between your customer base and the availability of these reusables. When I visited the shop recently for a coffee, it seemed that not one person in the shop was using a reusable.
By 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. And over 95% of the plastic that we produce and consume does not actually get recycled. Surely there is a way that your cafe can at least better communicate the option for a reusable mug to your patrons, rather than normalize the excessive use of single-use plastic cups that will surely get sent to the landfill.
We are a waterfront city, and it is a shame to see so much trash being created within it.
Perhaps you could start by putting up a sign by the register that would encourage people to ask for a reusable if they are staying at your shop to work or meet a friend. Or perhaps you could promote reusables online on your social medias. Or your barista could offer the option when taking orders from customers.
I understand that by providing reusable mugs, you would need to wash them. But it seems that you already provide reusable plates. So would it be that much more of a lift to offer teal mugs, and help customers do better by our ecosystem?
And to customers reading this, please know that you can bring your own cup here, or you can ask for a real cup. There is no excuse for the sheer amount of plastic trash we create daily by way of our routines. Let’s all do better by Brooklyn and by this planet.

Great micro-roaster/cafe with Korean food, breakfast sandwiches and friendly service. So happy I stumbled on this place! I ordered the bibimbap (hot bowl) and it was delicious! Will def be back.

Bed-Stuy resident here. Place has potential. But I came here to do 30 min worth of work on my laptop before hopping on the train, which is across the street.
Computer was dead and I noticed that the outlets were covered in such a way that customers can’t use it.
I kind of understand the policy and go to such coffee shops a lot with a charged laptop. But today, new week ahead and after a lazy weekend, laptop was dead.
I asked the front desk if they could plug it for like 15 min while I sip on my coffee and eat my bagel, as an exceptional gesture of kindness, and the answer was a categoric no. Store policy.
There definitely is a line between business and community, but not one that can be crossed.
I will walk past that place without stopping by next time I want coffee or do work. Dunkin’ donuts also across the street would have provided me with the exact same experience.

Really love this place. I go here every morning and it’s the best coffee shop around. They have an in-house roaster and roast all their beans fresh every day. Highly recommend
Excellent dark & rich coffee, not watered down like a lot of some other small local cafes throughout Brooklyn

I occasionally stop by here for coffee before work, but today left me genuinely disappointed. While walking by in the afternoon, some dust blew into my eye and I stepped inside to politely ask for a napkin to wipe my eye. The staff refused, citing “store policy.” I even clarified I only needed a single napkin, but was still turned away. I’m not sure what kind of store policy justifies denying such a basic courtesy to their customers. Are people stealing napkins all the time at this place or something? It’s hard for me to support a place with my business if it lacks even a basic level decency with its neighbors.

Delish breakfast wrap with kimchi

Its a nice place to sit and read for an hour or two. The younger female with straight hair is incredibly kind and welcoming… thank you to this person for being nice. Right out of the G train. Convenient cafe

Trying out the coffee shops in the neighborhood: Espresso here $4,50 (plus $0,75 for a splash of oat milk), totally crazy price. Go to Kolache around the corner and get it for $3,00.
Great food, chill vibe for working.
