Absolutely ridiculous at what speed they’re making the coffee and will stare at you standing there for 15+ minutes and will move at a speed of an 80 year old like they’re purposely trying to be as slow as possible. Gave it a chance a million times but it’s absolutely ridiculous every time. Awful.

Can't talk much about the food since I mainly have coffee here but I love it!
The staff is really friendly and was helpful when I needed a recommendation.
They have free wifi, outlets, and a bathroom. The music and atmosphere are vibey and it's generally quiet (at least the day I went). This made it a pretty good place for me to study in.

edit:
Friend and I came in and tried some new stuff
I had the BEC on a bagel and my friend had a wrap, both were pretty good. I will say however, that paying $10 for a bec seemed crazy at the beginning, but it was an appropriate portion size and it was delicious. Their Matcha is not as smooth as I would've liked it to be which made it not so enjoyable to drink. But their vanilla latte was delicious and my friend thoroughly enjoyed her maple latte. I continue to see myself studying here in the future.

Music and ambiance are still a 5/5 to me, so many songs were added to my playlist in my time here haha.

Stopped by to get a latte. The wait was 15-20 minutes. The barista guy wasn’t rushing at all and before preparing my coffee, was talking to his co-worker. The coffee was horrible.

Found this place super unfriendly. I asked what nuts are in the granola in the yogurt bowl as I have an allergy to a couple of types of nuts. I was told, and I quote: "it comes with granola, I don't know what's in the granola." with a shrug and slight roll of the eyes. There was no queue behind me, this was 10am on a weekday.
Way to support allergen decisions and make your customers feel small 👍

Screaming children, coffee that smelled like actual feces, tasteless greasy food and a long wait. I cannot image how this has so many good review.

This sweetleaf location has no type of order.
Came in on 11/3/24, Waited 20 minutes for a chai latte, asked the bartender 2 times and every time he stated he had drinks before mine. Understandable and I chose to wait. By the third time I asked I had noticed people who ordered wayyyy after me were getting their drink before mine!
And it wasn't like their drinks were easier to make, it was literally the same thing I ordered but with a different milk. People who were having the same issue who even ordered BEFORE me And RIGHT after me also spoke up and the bartender was being rude and said we had to wait ! Like how is that acceptable?! Not just me with the same issue but multiple others! Please do better and have a better system. Eventually just asked for a refund and left.

Charming, cozy atmosphere that gives you a sense of greenpoint’s community. Great quality coffee and don’t sleep on the breakfast biscuits either.

Perfect coffee shop. Everyone working there is so incredibly nice. Cold brew, drip, and espresso are all great. And their drinks are super consistent. Open pretty early too compared to other shops in the area.

Love this place! Drinks are good. The staff is kind. Nice seating. Normally I can find parking near by. Prices are reasonable. It’s a good vibe. If you are in the area I highly suggest.

I know I got there early at 8am, but the day old banana bread they sold me was not cool. It was dry like cardboard.

The coffee and vibes here are 100% on point. This is Greenpoint’s default social club. Try the Rocket Fuel.
