Great coffee and very delicious pancakes, breakfast burritos, and tacos! One of the best coffee spot in Spanish Harlem.

Overpriced and the coffee tastes burnt. I know rent is high but an iced latte in East Harlem being basically $10 is crazy. They had to remake my drink and the lady even wanted to be messy and charge me for whipped cream. If a latte is that much I am not understanding a surcharge for whipped cream.

Drove by the area looking for a great refreshment and a quick pick-me-up, and stumbled upon this hidden gem! I ordered a lemonade matcha with chia-seeds refresher and added an extra energy shot. It was exactly what I needed. The perfect reset, refresh, and just the right amount of energy to keep me going. They also have a variety of coffee, appetizers, and other refreshers, which I can’t wait to try when I’m back in the area!

I wanted to check this place out for awhile now and boy was I disappointed. The coffee didn’t taste fresh, it left a nasty bitter taste and the food was ok at best but definitely not worth the price. I don’t have a problem spending money if I see value in it. This place wasn’t it. Not to mention that the service wasn’t good neither. The guy working there was very arrogant and I don’t know why.

Found this coffee spot on a random trip but love love the coffee. Must admit, the coffee is strong even when its filled with ice. The hot drinks and cold drinks are worth it. The customer service is friendly and they're always pleasant. The only improvement I would have to say is the quality of their pastries. The breakfast items are a little pricey but their quality of coffee is worth it in addition to the location. Very little seating outside.

Response : I really respect that thank you for the response I would love to but when I looked in your bio & it shows a taco mix link too and I received vegetarian meal with chicken inside and ingredients I couldn't eat this happened on a few occasions & i had to dispose so I cannot take any chances but I truly wish you guys the best both your businesses I really pay so much money if I order so I really cannot take the chance I could have also fell sick as I ordered vegetarian and received meat and overflow of onions in a meal that usually has no onions or meat
We use to order via door dash & also uber eats under Shaka c or shaka colon at first I loved them & they were consistent good orders they started messing up every order to what felt as they were doing this on purpose then when I was pregnant my fiance decide to give another chance we spent a lot of money & food would come uncooked
runny and messed up eggs would come with silver on the bottom like it got stuck on the grill I love supporting small businesses we tryed but too much money spent to receive not matching quality I wish them the best & improvement .

The Café con leche is absolutely amaizing. The coffee is amaizing, but the staff is the best part! Definitely one of the best coffee I've had in a long time & def coming back!

Avocado toast was truly excellent! A little pricey though.

Love this place. High quality yummy food. Iced dirty horchata with Marzapan is such a unique blend of coffee and sweet. Highly recommend. Also the raspberry donut!!!!

Cold food, attitude overall it’s just a boozy coffee shop that thinks that they can take your money and get over on you while you spend your hard earned money in their pocket they provide you with what the feel is ok, not what you feel is ok! The service is the worst, Quality of the coffee might be ok, but they care more about their money than their customers. They’re a disgrace to Harlem.

Fantastic, well brewed coffee, with an incredibly warm and friendly staff. Absolute class coffee shop! Highly recommend. I use their freshly roasted beans for my morning pour overs and it’s hard to try anything else now, including premium beans like intelligentsia.

The owners and staff are so friendly. I always have such a nice time visiting on the weekends for an cortado and chatting with the owners!

It’s expensive, especially for the location, but I happily pay every time because there’s not much else in the neighborhood that offers this level of quality.
