I got a matcha latte and it was very tasty. The barista was also very kind. It's annoying that it's cash only. But there is an ATM available inside if that's a problem for you.

I had a really negative experience at this coffee shop, and unfortunately it wasn’t just a one time thing. Every time I’ve gone in, the staff have been rude and dismissive toward me. They refused to give me the WiFi password unless I bought something, and when I asked politely about it, they acted like I was a problem. On top of that, I noticed the way they treated me was different from how they treated other customers, and it felt racially motivated.

What made it even worse is that they only accept cash, which is very inconvenient, and the way they said it came across as if they couldn’t care less about helping me out. This has happened more than once, and it left me feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome. Definitely not a place I would recommend or return to.

After Sei, went to this cash only spot for a chocolate chip cookie and regular ole coffee with milk. Good prices and unpretentious. Staff was cool, and the vibe was warm and friendly. Sat on bench outside. Dope people watchin!

Casual vibe coffee house serving bagels and light pastries, along with delicious coffees and matcha. You MUST try the summer special: PEACH COBBLER LATTE. It will knock your eye out! Friendly barista knows you by name, creates a relaxed and happy environment. Fantastic place to gather. 5 Stars!⭐️

The workers here are ACTUALLY racist. They intentionally look down on people of color and have no respect for the men delivering it’s actually insane. Their tones are condescending. You work as a barista and have no business being rude to people doing their job to help YOUR store. There are many other kind coffee shops you can visit in brooklyn, this isn’t the place if you’re hispanic or EVEN look white passing. The manager herself is rude, learn to treat others the way you want to be treated before running a damn coffee shop.

I’ve always had such a good experience with Swallow. They’re very consistently good. And the space is immaculate. Baristas are friendly.

This place takes cash only! Which is kinda insane to me as a big coffee shop here with competing coffee shops who can take card! On top of that they won’t let you use the wifi unless you buy something which is also very ignorant considering our economic climate. I miss when there was coffee shops that actually catered to the every day people and community! I understand you don’t want people lingering around and want people to use your resources if you’re paying… but on top of ONLY CASH in 2025 you won’t share your wifi unless you buy something?!? Very ignorant!

Strawberry rhubarb thyme latte was really good.

I just want to say that in 4/5/ that girl that is taking the orders is rude and not even trying to accommodate clients. As i finished the order, she just asked “Do you have cash?” When she could have said in the beginning that they only accept cash as a form of payment. I immediately pulled out my cash and gave her the exact amount but it just didn’t came out right and the couple next to me also looked at her as if she was an idiot. Just say form of payment: Only cash.

I ordered an iced latte with oat milk and vanilla. It was perfect! Really loved the coffee.

The cappuccino was very bitter and was not to enjoy. Too bad! Is not recommended.
