My only complaints is that sometimes the music is played too loud.

The other complaint is that every time I’m there, which is usually everyday, a homeless guy comes in be-tween 3 and 4 and locks himself in the rest room for up to a half hour and does God know what.

Came here for the flat white and was not disappointed. Friendly staff, super knowledgeable and they know coffee. They also have a wide selection of pastries

Best coffee we had during our visit. Unfortunately deducted one star because the amount of pigeon feathers made the only table out front uninhabitable

Nice place to go to sit and chill while you have your coffee. There’s room in the front and back to sit. Definitely try their croissants, the different flavors they have are delicious.

Didn’t order food. I had matcha latte and I liked it not sweet at all which was great.

The guy at the counter changed the song when it was a good one, but the coffee was good and he was cool so all is forgiven! Fun place and cool vibes, I would definitely go back

Flat white was okay, plenty of great coffee in the city, a bit surprised by this 4.8 rating.

super cute and cozy cafe with great coffee! not sure if it was the specific day or time that I went but most people were working on their laptops so i felt like it wasn’t the type of cafe you could have a chat with a friend in

I love this place! Great pastries and lots of space. The only issue I have is that there's a guy that works there who, whenever I order a pastry, will go out of his way to get me the smallest one. He'll literally reach for the closest one, and if it's larger than a smaller one, he'll pivot. I'm not a fan of that kind of lousy service. Everything else is great!

Recently moved to this block and was excited to have a coffee shop close by - our last coffee shop near us in fort greene was a favorite, we went everyday, despite our budget, and were good friends with the staff. I have to say, the staff here are always pretty unfriendly and short with me despite me trying to be nice, and tipping etc. Not a fun way to start the day. Not sure why they take such offense but I always feel extremely unwelcome. I will say they are insanely efficient. Its always busy and packed with people on their laptops, youd think it was a wework. Missing all my previous neighborhood coffee shops and may shop around for a different spot to go to in the neighborhood.

What more can you ask? The perfect neighborhood coffee spot. Always smiles behind the counter, cozy inside, spacious porch out back (one note, strengthen the wi-fi back there)
