PROOF Coffee Roasters

Great atmosphere. Great coffee & pastries. Super friendly staff. But most importantly…affordable!! Really couldn’t ask for more. Happy to say I’ll be a regular here.

Very cool coffee shop on 7th Ave. Had to do a double take because I thought I was going into a random apartment building, but the coffee was great and they had a really good almond croissant. Will definitely be back when i’m in the area again.

Hi there,

I recently purchased a retail bag of coffee from your establishment. Unfortunately, it was supposed to be freshly roasted, but the date on the bag indicated that it had been roasted over a month ago. To make matters worse, it was one of the worst coffees I’ve ever tasted.

The coffee was a medium roast from Tanzania, and it had absolutely no flavor. It tasted completely burnt. It’s disheartening to say that your roaster missed the mark on this particular batch.

The guest experience was also quite disappointing. Three guests were waiting to order coffee while the barista took an excessive 10 minutes to chat with another guest about how adorable their dog was. As a coffee enthusiast and a supporter of local businesses, I believe this is a significant disservice to the neighborhood.

I rarely leave reviews but I loved this place. At first I thought it was closed cause the red door was shut, but the little black gate was open so I tried. I’m happy I did, such a nice vibe! It was also the first time I had a proper and good espresso in NYC (thanks to my fellow Italian who left the review on the espresso!). I also had the lemon cake and it was delicious.

Thanks! 💗

I paid $9 for a watery matcha, so light-colored that it could have passed for milk. There was a notice that they had to raise their prices— I wouldn’t mind paying slightly more if the quality of the drinks remained high. They also don’t provide straws anymore.

Once again, it was another fantastic experience. I adore this place since it is one of the few places in Harlem where you can find the needed peace in a busy, bustling world and even amazing conversation, whether you are an introvert or extrovert. However, the phenomenal apple pie I ate with my favorite French vanilla latte compelled me to write a review. It was more than just your regular pie. It was an experience. Forget the dry, overly processed pie you are used to. Let me tell you that the top of this dessert was like a warm cookie.
Meanwhile, the crust was so well made that you could count the layers. As a foodie, I can not find the words to do it justice. Just try it for yourself and thank me later.

They have good non dairy options for creamer, like macadamia nut milk. 😀 and decaf options. Even the decaf provided an energy boost that lasted all day and evening. Nice long table. Fairly clean. Several tea options, too. Would love to try some of their foods another time.

This place is a walking distance from my house. I come for a coffee maybe to work a bit and read some books. They have some books on their shelves that you can grab while ur sipping your matcha. Honestly I think it’s the only coffee shop of its kind in this neighborhood. Worth visiting if you’re in the area.

I just walked in for coffee but the atmosphere is phenomenal. Cozy yet spacious. Nicely lit and good coffee too. I would assume the food is delicious given that other patrons seemed to be enjoying themselves. Very quiet and a nice break from the din of the city.
