Latte was super tasty and great spot to work.. but the lady taking orders and making my coffee was so rude and unwelcoming!!! I didn’t see the table had a no laptop sign and she rudely said to me when I went to order “you can’t have a laptop at those tables.” I then moved my stuff and when I went to get my coffee from her once it was ready, she handed it to me and avoided eye contact and had annoyed look at her face. Did not say a word to me.
Best off menu espresso martini in the city

I liked the atmosphere more than the drinks. Very aesthetic and relatively quite inside. Would come here to WFH
- Pistachio honey hojicha latte: Wasn’t sweet at all, couldn’t really taste the honey, and kinda grainy. On the pricier side of drinks. Disappointed, wouldn’t get again
- Croissant: Super flakey and well made. Would get again

I’ve been coming here since they opened my I won’t be returning anymore they constantly switch there matcha up so the taste is never consistent. Which btw is from the Kettl brand which they also have there own cafes throughout the city. The laptop policy is inconsistent and not convent. The staff are not very welcoming anymore and it not worth even giving a visit anymore not to mention them letting people bring there dogs in with hair flying around everywhere extremely unsanitary and frustrating. Won’t be returning again I drank my matcha and just left

We ordered a hot chocolate which was filled with just foam. The cup felt so lightweight and turns out it was all milk foam, nowhere near hot chocolate. It wasn’t even warm, forget about hot. Don’t get fooled by the interior. Almost $7 for a hot chocolate with the shitty quality and quantity. Not complaining about the price but it should atleast meet the quality. 😕
Just shooed away while attempting to buy coffee. Apparently there is a no laptops policy. Easy to spend money elsewhere.

Drinks were pretty good and the decor is really cute, but the service left a bad taste. About five minutes after we got our drinks, a waitress told us the café was turning into an event space for their 1-year anniversary party and that we’d need to leave soon. She did say we could take our time since we had just been served, but only ten minutes later another waiter came over and told us our time was up. It felt rushed and frustrating, and I really wish they had mentioned the party beforehand so we could’ve chosen a different place.

The coffee was probably one of the worst coffees I’ve ever had. I got a vanilla latte and it was so watery. It’s like they can’t pull an espresso shot correctly. I would not recommend. Seems like matcha is good? Many people ordered that, but I can’t attest to it. The atmosphere is pretty. No laptops. I waited to order for a while but the staff were just running around doing stuff…. Not the best service. Would not be back.

A fantastic coffee cafe in the LES.
A beautifully designed spot. We had perfect Flat Whites (even decaf).
Wonderful ham and cheese croissant. The best was the yogurt with fruit compote and amazing granola that wasn’t too sweet. The attention to detail was really top notch. We met the owner and as I complimented her about how much I loved everything she shared it was their 1 year anniversary. Well deserved success!
Have a visit you will be so happy you did. We sure were!

We had lox toast and granola. Both perfect. Lox wasn’t too salty, was tender, toast lovely and crunchy. Coffee good too. Great option for light breakfast (no egg options) in Chinatown.

cozy, modern cafe with friendly service and great food and beverage options! definitely on the pricier side but if you go, be sure to give the black sesame matcha latte a try!

I love the atmosphere; it's so quiet and quaint here. The staff are friendly and amazing and the service is fast. I had the ham & gruyere with a chai and it was delicious. It's a nice place to go when you just want a moment of solace.
