It's just a block away from this welcoming coffee shop. At school, the atmosphere is friendlier and more student-centered. Since it provides more elegant breakfast, lunch, and dinner dining options, I'll refer to it as the nearby Starbucks. The interior is cramped but well-designed, with a small band of patio chairs. I'll be back for sure!

My place of peace is this coffee shop! I love to linger here and just let time pass while sitting on their cozy lounge and enjoying a nice cup of my favorite matcha after a tiring day of work. All the workers here are kind, and they all smile as they welcome you. I'll certainly come back and recommend it to all my friends who love coffee!

Absolutely superb coffee shop. The baristas there have excellent pallets and take such excellent care in brewing and constructing their drinks. If you want a delicious espresso drink, this is the shop for w. If you’re interested in discovering amazing beans with expressions of craft and terroir, this is the place for you. If you want baristas to be efficient cause you have to catch that 2 train, this is the place for you. Five stars because there’s no way to give 6!

Good coffee, but service could be better! Felt the barista was a bit aloof.

Best coffee in the area but worst service. Never friendly and today the person working there added a $3 tip without me authorizing, which I only realized because I got an email afterwards. So shady, avoid!!

Great breakfast and awesome retro diner vibe. Service was also great. The spot, the people and the quality are at the highest level.

No coffee is good enough to make it worth how they treat you here. I've tried coming twice during their posted hours to buy coffee beans--once at 11am and once at 9am--only for the door to be locked with an employee inside. The first time, he ignored me until I went away. The second time, I waited 15 minutes to get inside, and the guy got annoyed and started arguing with me when I asked if their hours had changed from the ones on the door. I don't live nearby. All I wanted to know was if there was a better time to come, since it involves getting on a subway for me. Food service isn't fun, and I'm sure they're used to dealing with bad customers. But it's disappointing to be treated like one every time you try coming to this place. Look at the other one- and two-star reviews--I'm not the only one.

Menu well planned to suit everybody's taste. I recommend this place if you want a nice cup of coffee and something to eat. Best coffee, best service.

I love this coffee shop! I can really tell this place takes care of its employees and costumers which I love. The coffee and food are both so delicious and tasteful. This is perfect for a date, study, and other business meetings. All of the staff are always ready to assist and knows exactly what they are doing. This is one of a kind experience. Highly recommended!

We had this in our itinerary to drop by at this coffee shop for a coffee. It's a nice cozy place which had an interesting display. The coffee was amazing, and they had other drinks too. Worth visiting and a nice place to take a break from all the walking! I can spend hours to stay there for coffee and their handmade desserts.

The Barista is even better than Starbucks! It has amazing food at affordable prices and the staff is super friendly. I wish that they would open a second location even closer to me! I would definitely come back here soon since the taste of their coffee satisfied me though I am not really a coffee lover.

This coffee shop is probably the most chilling place that I went to. There's no way that I can forget the experience that I have in there. The staff was accommodating, and the coffee and sweet treats were way better than the places that I went to before. By the way, big thanks to the server named Jessica for being such a sweetheart!! I will definitely come back again!
