Coffee is bad. Service is mid at best. Owner treats service workers poorly.

Cute vibe, cool crowd, cute barista, chairs are uncomfortable but there are power outlets which’s great. Also no laptops allowed on weekends I believe.

I’m always happy to support local, NY born and bred owned businesses that seem to be community focused. I was happy to find a place that had open outdoor and indoor seating readily available aka it’s not always packed. This convenience was the only thing that kept bringing me back.
After a few visits over the past couple of weeks, I can see why that is. The wifi is spotty and doesn’t work outside, the music is not enjoyable, it’s hot inside and it’s not even peak summertime yet. The chai latte tasted watered down.
But the worst part, is that the staff is not welcoming at all. And moreover, I had the “pleasure” of meeting the owner who must thrive amidst negativity. She was rude, impolite and lacked basic customer service.
Will not be returning. Recommend Ginjan cafe where there are plenty of outlets, helpful and nice workers, uplifting music, good coffee and lots of food options.

I was visiting playground a terrible little man was complaining about his 6.00 cold brew. The staff were not nearly rude enough to him.

Great place, I dropped in with my brother for coffee and cake, looking out the window at the mural, The Notorious B.I.G. I recommend this place. P.S. "thanks for letting me charge my phone :)

This is my favorite café in the neighborhood for working. I'm not sure if it's the music, the vibe, the lighting, or the cozy interior, but something about it helps me stay focused and makes it the perfect place for getting work done. Just be aware that they don't allow laptops on weekends. I only wish they had more food options.
Ordered a dirty chai, what I got was some very sweet water. I appreciate that you looked at me and decided based on my appearance I am a hummingbird so you made the decision to give me essentially commercial hummingbird feed but this was $9. When is the last time you saw a hummingbird handling cash- let alone forking over $9? they don’t have to pay for anything. I’m still flattered though

Favorite spot in the neighborhood! Try to stop by every day I can just to chat with the staff

Very little to recommend of this place -- hot, no air circulation, no iced tea available when I went (even though they had tea ... and ice), and a person behind the counter who seemed upset at the world. The best part of this outdated shop is the book nook outside. Go across the street to CUP or Art Shack instead.

Gorgeous coffee shop, with super cool solidarity initiatives like their community fridge and lending library.
However, woefully lacking in customer service and warmth. One of the people working there is grumpy and bad at customer service. Having been a barista too, I know it's not that hard to be courteous to nice customers. I wanted hot tea with a cup of ice on the side since she wouldn't make me an iced tea (although no one was behind us in line). I was told after getting my $4 tea that I would be charged for the ice (that I had already asked for) if I wanted it.
The person seemed cold and tense, whereas my request wasn't outlandish and my husband and I were polite when ordering. Not being accommodated is one thing, but frosty interactions just make me feel weird. What's so hard about hospitality and friendliness? Go to Cup down the street instead!
