We came here for brunch. Coffee was good. Overall, food was good. Servers were somewhat disconnected from customers, taking their time to return to the tables. Perhaps because they were too busy. The interior decor is clean and inviting. They had a few tables outside for those wanting to dine outdoors.

I found this little beautiful coffee place right one block away from Gracie Mansion. The staff is amazingly professional helpful and clean, the coffee is amazing. I can highly recommend dropping by this hidden gem 💎

Came here because I saw it's kosher and had great reviews — and I’m really glad I did. The staff was super friendly, and despite other reviews mentioning long wait times, my food came out quickly, even with a private event happening by the bar. The service was still impressively fast, PJ was amazing!
The food was very fresh and flavorful — exactly how it should be. It’s been a while since I found a kosher spot, so I’m happy I discovered this one,...
