Please welcome the newest edition to the Dear Mama line of coffees, our Langston Espresso. This medium bodied, washed process borbon has notes of sweet red fruits like raspberry and cherry, caramel and graham cracker. Whether straight or in your cappuccino, Langston lingers beautifully on the palette and supports milk without overpowering it. An ideally approachable, lovely espresso. It's in the hopper at both shops, come see us!

Alhambra

Coffee geeks, this one's for you. A rich and thoughtful pallet on this coffee. One of our lighter and most versatile roasts. Alhambra brews beautifully on virtually any device, and yields both a bright acidity and a bouquet of flavors. Cherry preserve Juice,Warm brown sugar, Basil leaf. Medium to light bodied. Washed. [12 oz]

Home to Harlem

A well-rounded and playful coffee, we recommend Home to Harlem for pour-overs, but it's also great as espresso and in a conventional drip machine. A bold body and an impressive palette of colors and flavors, Home to Harlem is poetry in a cup. Black Tea, Cinnamon, Almond icing. Medium bodied. Washed. [12 oz]

East Harlem Blend

Hey dark roast lovers, this is your coffee. Bold, robust and full-bodied, East Harlem is a rich and satisfying cup of Joe. This coffee reproduces nicely at home on drip or pour over (try a 14:1 ratio on your Chemex). Look for a well-rounded palette, notes of cardamom, bourbon, and Cola. East Harlem pairs beautifully with breakfast French Press. Cola, Cardamom, Bourbon. Dark bodied. Washed [12 oz]

Zora

Zora is an approachable coffee that adapts beautifully on any brew method from Chemex to espresso. Zora is our go-to house espresso, and switches gears on a dime for a perfectly balanced drip. Sweet with a low acidity and medium body, look for notes of praline, maple syrup and sweet peach. Praline, Maple Syrup, Sweet Peach. Medium bodied. Washed. [12 oz]

Manhattanville

Smooth, bright and sophisticated, this light roast coffee is designed to satisfy every espresso-lover's wish list. But don't stop there, Manhattanville is a vibrant and complicated coffee ready for exploration at home (Aeropress, anyone?!) Look for notes of honey cider, apricot, and lime zest, high acidity and a light body. Honey Cider, Apricot, Lime Zest. Light bodied. Washed. [12 oz]

D.R.E.A.M Decaf Blend

Sweet and Rich, with a delightful cherrywood finish. We de-caffinate this coffee through the Sugar Cane Process, which utilizes molasses and results in a sweeter, cleaner decaf! D.R.E.A.M is an acronym for Decaf Rules Everything Around Me. You get it. [12 oz]

I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect spot to work while enjoying great coffee, and Dear Mama never disappoints. Delicious dishes, a cozy ambience, and above all: the staff. They’re always welcoming, and their smiles make you want to come back every time💌

September 2025

The coffee and tea and consistently good. However, I've been frustrated on multiple occasions with the demeanor of the cashiers and baristas. Please note that it is not all of them. I've had very positive interactions with multiple people. In other cases, the staff have been condescending and rude when I ask questions. The drinks are too damn expensive to deal with service like that. I will instead support local businesses in Harlem that respect their customers and don't...

September 2025

The food is so good. I had the chicken club and Breakfast burrito - yummy and filling. Out of all the places I've eaten fries, their fries are the best I've ever had. You won't be disappointed.
