I used to come here all the time to work. But recently they sectioned off the coworking space/lobby and the tables on the left side. At every entrance you are basically stopped by a security guard to make sure you are not entering the cut off areas, which is quite obnoxious.

I think it’s terrible that the hotel decided to block off an accessible area for people to only their hotel guests. Dont bother coming here.

This coffee place is located inside a beautiful building, and the setting is absolutely stunning. The atmosphere feels refined and almost luxurious, making it a perfect spot to work, have a business meeting, or simply enjoy a high-quality coffee in a central location.

The coffee was excellent — I ordered a cappuccino with almond milk — and the staff was very pleasant and welcoming. What pleasantly surprised me was the pricing: considering the quality, the location, and the overall experience, prices felt very reasonable. Many nearby cafés charge much more for a similar setting.

A great place for good coffee, a productive moment, and a polished atmosphere.

Used to be a great place to relax and get work done, now the security is super annoying. It’s a shame they are this fussy!

unbelievable amount of CLEAN space to SIT and have a coffee, snack, or drink in in midtown. Excellent and reasonable prices comparable to the rest of the city

Great coffee—the coconut cold brew is delicious. Unfortunately, the staff, particularly the lobby security guard, were incredibly rude. Within 25 minutes of my visit, the guard approached me aggressively, holding a sign about the 90-minute customer limit. The sign was already on my table, so I was aware of the policy, yet he continued to confront me in an unnecessarily aggressive manner. The experience made me feel very uncomfortable, and I won’t be returning.

This is my third time having the coconut cold brew— very tasty and awakening! The barista are so kind, I was so amazed by their friendliness. I was going to take out six cups of coffee, but they do not have bags and my hand is injuried. Shockingly, the director offered to assist me and deliver the coffee across the street.

The staff is AMAZING! Great place for coffee and friends. The last visit was interrupted with the LOUDEST music. They were playing jazz which is great but at rave volumes. I think they did a volume increase to move a lot of work from home people out during a rush maybe?

I had a fantastic Cortado here. Located inside of a large building. Decent place to get coffee. WiFi and good seating areas. Plenty of space when I went.

The coffee here is pretty good but the service is just odd. The staff is rude for no reason. Of the four times I've been there, three of those times stand out for unjustifiably rude service. They have a ton of staff for a small coffee spot which is also unusual. The space itself is incredible. It's inside a communal space of the office building. Go for the ambience for sure but pass on dealing with the staff

Nice atmosphere and room away from the busy street (inside a building lobby). We waited patiently way longer than it should take to make an espresso and macchiato with three staff.
The macchiato was good but the espresso was COLD and overly watery/floral. For the prices I’d suggest looking elsewhere unless you need a quiet place to sit.
