Great place, great coffee and great service! What more can you want? 10/10 would come back for the coffee and delicious croissants.

You'd think this place only sells coffee and pastries but it also has very good jollof rice and wraps. Worth stopping by at least once. It does take them a while to make it through.

Rahim and Mo have established a beautiful cafe space for ginjan, jollof rice, and a peanut stew that is incredible. The food here is a best kept secret and they are open until 9pm now. Great espresso, pastries and their signature beverages. This spot single handedly holds down 125th and Park. Support this wonderful place. Have an excellent meal. Make some friends and come back often.

What a beautiful coffee shop in Harlem. Not only is the coffee great, their specialty drinks and food also are so good. Perfect spot to work, have a meeting or a date. If you need to wait for the train, it's not even a few steps away from the station. The service is great, kindness all the way through. I hope many vist so this business can thrive!

Wow, probably one of the best coffee shops in New York City. If I could give six Stars for Service, I would! Space is large and modern, with ample space and a laptop friendly atmosphere. Owner's wife is French, so we can trust the croissants to be really good! Perfect for when you have to wait for the train. Pricing was also super fair!

Outside, the endless ballet of 125th Street, an organized chaos.
Inside, a pause, a different beat.

Here, everyone’s paths cross: the artist sketching in a corner, the politician whispering deals, the traveler between worlds, and the neighbor just checking in. People talk without shouting. They mingle without pushing. The real show is as much inside the café as it is on the street.

And the soundtrack is perfectly in tune. Always quality. Sometimes, you’ll even hear a melody with the grace to make you want to dance with your own thoughts. That alone tells you everything about the taste of this place.

Add to that the aroma of a coffee with a story to tell, the sharpness of ginger that grounds you in the moment, the simple honesty of a good croissant. It’s an equation that just works. Origins and the present, all in the same cup.

You come for the coffee, but you stay for the humanity. A truly remarkable crossroads. Plain and simple.

I’ve been coming here since 2022. I’ve made tons of friends, drank plenty of good coffee, had their delicious sweet treats and food options. Literally the perfect atmosphere to get all kinds of work done. It’s a true hidden gem in Harlem and Brooklyn.

I was greeted as soon as I walked in and I requested a medium iced mocha bc I needed to get through my work day and it was so creamy and delicious, perfect amount of ice. It was $9 but I will pay that anytime considering you receive a good amount and it is delicious. 10/10
