delightfully quiet (on a Monday), a great latte and breakfast (grits). I'd be there regularly if I was local.

Very cute cafe, but way too hot. They have their AC on the lowest setting or something. Good way to keep people from hanging out too long I guess!

Absolutely lovely little spot! Incredible food, really kind and helpful staff, wonderful atmosphere—I would come here every day if I could
The Cortado had a pleasant bitterness. The place is located in the basement and only accessible by the stairs.

Most perfect plate of breakfast food I’ve ever had. Perfectly scrambled eggs, pastrami smoked salmon, bright herby salad, tomato jam, perfectly ripe avocado and buttery toasty sourdough…. Simple perfection. It does not get better than this.

This is a vintage-style café ☕️ tucked away underground in New York’s West Village. If you walk by without paying attention to the small sign, you might miss it.
The words “food for the soul” at the entrance caught my attention. I wondered if this place might have something that really fits my taste.
The name “Ad Hoc” is also interesting. In the IT world, it usually means something temporary, but here it feels more like something that belongs to the present moment. I can imagine the space changing over time, which gives it a relaxed and flexible feeling.
When I walked in, I saw four staff members 👨👨👩👩 working. The space felt like a private study or reading room, filled with sofas 🛋️, old tables and chairs, books 📚, magazines, and newspapers 📰. The atmosphere was warm and comfortable.
The coffee beans they were using today were called Eclipse, from a well-known brand called Onyx Coffee Lab. The flavor notes were baker’s chocolate 🍫, burnt sugar, and smoked vanilla bean.
I ordered a hot oat milk latte because I wanted to see what kind of latte art they would make. It came in a thick white ceramic cup, and the top had a neat leaf-shaped pattern. I believe the powder on top was a mix of cocoa and chocolate, because I could really taste the rich chocolate flavor and smell the cocoa. The sweetness was just right. The drink cost $7.62 with tax, and I think it was well worth it.

Horrible matcha latte. Tastes like milk with a drop of grass. No flavor whatsoever. Ordered a Macadamia nut matcha latte for eight dollars. Took two sips and threw out. Not the most friendly staff. I said use the milk you recommend- they couldn’t provide an answer. Cute spot and I’m sure the coffee is good but don’t come here for matcha
