Very good sandwiches and coffee and tea. The matcha is particularly excellent. They’ve recently changed their menu and added tons of new options and a ton of new pastry options. Egg sandwich, salmon bowl and tuna sandwich are all good options on the menu. I wouldn’t get the eggs florentine, it’s kinda weird here. The vibe is really nice- there’s always sun coming through the large corner windows and they play relaxing chill music.
Very good breakfast sandwich (the sauce is great!), but coffee can be bad depending on the barista. The person working that day took like 10 minutes to make 2 cappuccinos and forgot what pastries we ordered. And talking about pastries, they could definitely be better. I had a croissant, and it tasted like it had been seating there for a while, plus it was not flaky.I would try again if they work on the pastries!
Best sandwiches and coffee on Nostrand and maybe even Bedstuy! Coming here since I moved. Love the vibes. Will say that if you're looking to do work here/have a quiet coffee, the music here can be kinda intense. I came to do some editing once and they were playing house music/techno pretty loud
