I visited on a weekend day and started using my laptop. Shortly after, a staff member informed me that laptops aren’t allowed on weekends, so I put it away.
However, more people arrived soon after and sat down. At least 4-5 other people used their laptops for hours, but the staff didn’t say anything to them.
It’s probably they were just busy, but I just felt I was treated unfairly and left feeling a bit disappointed.

I recently moved to this neighborhood and was eager to try this cafe. However, the customer service was appalling. They barely acknowledged my presence, failing to even greet me. To make matters worse, they refused to call my order out, leaving it unattended and cold.

Lavendar Coffee is ok not to strong..but my wive got a plain latte and that was strong.i ha e not tried any food though which is why I haven't given any stars. The atmosphere is wonderful...it has a very mixed environment of all cultures and backgrounds ex black, brown, purple lol etc which makes everyone feel welcome.

Coffee is delicious. The chicken chipotle egg sandwich is absolutely delicious and to die for. They need to bring this back. Best thing ever. Whenever I'm nearby I definitely stop by for coffee and and almond croissant. The vibe is chill. Usually the music playlist is dope too. I like going here. Again I can't emphasize enough how much I need to bring that chicken chipotle egg sandwich back. Because it's amazing.

One of my favorite coffee shops in the city!

Lazy male barista. This could actually be a nice Place but the young lazy barista tears everything down. While the Woman who is preparing the food is working very hard, he just stands around, chatting and doing nothing. He is extremely unfriendly and looks grumpy all the time. Although the food was alright I would not come back because I did not feel welcome at all. Feel sorry for his two colleagues though.

The last few times I was here espresso was terrible! If you order food, be prepared to wait 40 - 50 minutes 😵💫

For it being so early in the morning I expected the two guys working to be a bit happier or at least fake it better. Drinks were okay but there are better places nearby with much better hospitality energy.
I don’t normally leave reviews but after so many great experiences here I gotta shout it out 🗣️This is a gem of a cafe with a real Bed Stuy vibe. They have the best coffee in the neighborhood!!

Favorite spot to sit with friends or just work during the day. Never had a negative interaction with any staff.

I was looking for a spot with indoor seating, AC, and Wi-Fi, and this place fit the bill. The bagel was tasty, though a little heavy on the cream cheese (easy enough to scrape some off), and the coffee was strong and flavorful.
The service was fine but felt impersonal—more like being treated as a number than a guest. A simple warm hello or smile can go a long way.
What stood out most was the cleanliness, or lack of it. Many tables were dirty, and the floor could’ve used a sweep, while staff were chatting about weekend plans instead of tidying up. It gave the impression that customer experience wasn’t the priority.
Overall, the food and coffee were good, but the atmosphere and service could use some improvement.
