Last night was my second visit; I didn't know that this is a performance venue, as well, but it makes sense! The decor is v fitting.
I only wish the coffee bar itself stayed open longer; when I arrived, a lot of baked goods were still out, and I would have liked to buy a couple of items (I remember their quiches and pear cake as being delicious), but this was not possible.

great service and atmosphere, good coffee and pastries, cool and spacious back area for chatting (no laptops) and a dedicated work zone in the front (has wifi, outlets), clean bathroom
Love this place! Great pastries and coffee, and plenty of space to sit. Lots of people working on their laptops on the weekend. The back room, which you can rent out for private events, has a cool speakeasy feel, and they host events and serve alcohol in the evenings. Definitely a great place to check out in the neighborhood!
Great coffee and pastries!
Coffee is so good, ambience is amazing, and they stand against genocide!

The coffee was great and the service was helpful! However, the food selection was limited and not well-marked. The atmosphere had a charming antique vibe to it, but one thing I was unaware of as a new customer was that people who want to work or study with their laptops are limited to a small and hectic corridor, up to 2 hours max... The written rules for working and studying here feel a bit condescending to customers, which didn’t help my first impression of the shop. Overall, it’s a nice place to have conversations with friends or even activities like reading, but I don’t recommend it for productivity.

The best oatmilk latte ever! The staff is the nicest, the music is great and the interior eclectic in the best possible sense. Don’t miss this gem!

This place has been in my neighborhood a hot minute. I went to grab a beverage and do some writing. The attitude is pretentious to begin with but I decided to grab a mediocre sandwich and sit in the back. A few minutes later one of the workers came flying back like someone was murdered to say no laptops in the back. Um… am I a mind reader??? Also, WHAT? LMAO So I, and another working customer, packed up our stuff and left. LAME for a coffee shop with work tables set up to not allow anyone to do what you can do in any other coffee shop. No need to return as one has to ask what in the world for??? Maybe they thought they brought something to our lowly neighborhood lol idk but it’s a HARD PASS from this one time customer.

Solid coffee at affordable prices for NYC, LOTS of seating (rare) and a dedicated space for people working on laptops (feat. Abundant outlets and a printer you can pay to use). Haven’t tried their food or pastries yet, but I really like coming here to do work during the day.
I went to a birthday party. The back room has the coolest ambiance, which you must experience.

The owner really spent creating a nice environment! If you walk in all the way inside, it's a super hippy and tasteful area to chat, and the air is perfect for people to work and use computers. The food is great, and it's a very friendly and accommodating place. I love going there! 🥰 💻 🌿 #Environment #Food #People #Workplace #Vibes

This little coffee shop is so cute! Delicious coffee and even better pastries, baked goods, and sandwiches. Loved the vibes. Coffee shop also has an area designated to laptops, with a printer available
Absolute hidden gem. This spot has an assortment of baked goods and coffee, and changes day/night. The interior in the back is just wonderful, we could have spent all day there relaxing and enjoying our time playing chess, browsing the magazines, or just talking. If you’re in the area you have to go!!
