Love this place! Went to City College and I used to always come here with my friends and get the black bean burger or their pre-maid salads. This was between the years of 2013 and 2016. I just came back recently in 2024, and their black bean burger still taste amazing!! I get my burger on a wrap. I would recommend getting the black bean burger. 👌🏿

Everyone comes here for a reason.

The staff are so friendly, definitely a highlight to my mornings, or afternoons depending on my mood.

I usually get a matcha or chai, equally good. I prefer spice for my chai but when I want something sweeter I go for vanilla. Whatever I get, the barista does it amazingly.

Theres plenty of good food there too. I put up a pic of a bacon egg and cheese on a bagel. They also have a good chicken sandwich, the spicy chicken, that I recommend.

I recently tried the chicken Chipotle. I’m not a fan of tomato but it definitely did its job in the chicken Chipotle. The juices and the lighter tomato balanced out the stronger and meaty chipotle chicken, so I recommend leaving in the tomato this one time.

There’s usually a bit of wait time but it’s so worth it, if you’re in a crunch def call ahead

This is a small cafe with a huge personality! There is kindness and warmth radiating from every corner. What puts it all together is the genuinely amazing drinks and foods that are offered here. It’s mostly affordable, and def has made my experience as a college student a little bit better :)

FIRST STOP ! When my wife booked our Airbnb brownstone apartment in Upper Manhattan, NY for our recent 2 week vacation we could see on Google Maps there were a few cafes pretty close by...handy for breakfast. On our first morning at our new digs we headed out around 7.45am to grab cappuccinos and maybe something to eat....we had 2 places in mind and this one being virtually next door to our apartment was the first. HELLO ! Too many people smoking all sorts of stuff outside the entrance, too cramped inside, cappuccinos served in paper cups, no plated breakfast dishes. NOT OUR SCENE !

Fun spot. Had breakfast to go with my daughter and wife. The food was great and freshly made, the service was prompt. We noted that police and college students were the main customers and it was busy in a good way.

We had variations of egg bagels - all reasonably priced and delicious.

Highly recommend!

I lived in Harlem for 2 yrs from 2016-2018. This place was the best then and is the best now. My husband and I went last week and the food, coffee, and staff is still the best ever.

This is such a great neighborhood cafe! The coffee and breakfast options are excellent, but their paninis and pastries are even better! There are three tables inside and high top seating at the window. There are also seats outside.

We loved the macarons! Buy 5 and get the 6th free for $12 and they were great! All the staff were friendly and service was quick.
