Q:
Hi! Do they have enough charging spots to charge your computer?
A:
Yes, there's a pretty good amount alongside both walls. But it's the type of spot where people come and set up to work for a while so sharing space is sometimes tricky.

- Ambiance/Vibe: this store, like many in New York was tiny and very narrow. It was very much a location for quick in and out, but there are some nice single and double sitting in the back. However, my favorite part is the outdoor deck in the back. It was so nice and cozy out there.
- Coffee: the coffee was very smooth and sweet, but it wasn't too intense.
- Food: This shop had pastries and bakery items that were perfect for on the go.
- Prices: Prices here were pretty average to most in the area.
- Staff: The staff was really nice, especially with the limited space they had.
All in all I would give this one a 4/5 's, and would definitely try it again if in the area.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Nov 1, 2023
I gave four stars only because I only tried one thing; Carmel latte and it was fire!! So so goood! I didn't try any pastries or food. I was waiting to have my eyes checked and since it was taking a while I decided to grab a coffee. This was the best part of my doctor's visit. Will be back to try more stuff and of course get my latte again

Ok I love this place BUT it's extremely expensive which is why I gave it 4 stars as opposed to 5. Their coffee is good but not amazing and a small vanilla latte with oat milk runs me $8 without tip which is kinda insane to me?? The food is also really good, though again pricy. I've had the tuna toast and the avocado toast and both are super fresh and delicious but around $14 each. Would not recommend the chai or matcha. I also love the atmosphere and the music- all around superb vibes but it does get pretty busy and people tend to stay awhile so not too much turn around but I usually always find a seat if not in the main room, the second one towards the back. There is however, ample outdoor seating for the warmer months and it's really cute! They have tons of outlets and wifi as well. I complain about the prices, yet I always find myself coming back soo guess I'm the sucker.
Also love the staff!! They're all great.
And don't forget to ask for a punch card!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Feb 19, 2023
Ordered the matcha latte, and this was probably one of the best I've had at a non Asian coffee shop. Super rich, deep matcha flavor that was unapologetically matcha (not trying to be some sweetened mild tea drink). We got it with oat milk and the barista didn't charge for the milk sub, saying the $0.75 surcharge was "ridiculous." I agree but also am very grateful for his generosity. :) the space in the back is small and always full on the weekends but this little cafe is definitely worth a visit and is loads better than any service you'll get at Starbucks.

Great little spot. Food was delicious and a great portion. My bf thought the avo toast was too oily.
Many people work remote here. Would come againHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jun 2, 2022
This place is super cute! There's indoor and outdoor seating. The baristas are friendly.
However, I really wasn't impressed with the coffee. I got a hot vanilla latte one day and an iced caramel latte the next. I've had better coffee and would have preferred Starbucks....Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Uygar D.Manhattan, NY10102131Jul 17, 2023Updated review
Poor coffee. Poor atmosphere. Extreme prices. Don't waste your time or money when they charge you $1 extra for wanting plant based milk. Insanity. See the picture if u don't believe me.

I'm taking one star off because in the bathroom, they have one of those old style hard soaps that turns around so you have to touch it. I'm sorry but that's gross. Other than that, lovely spot.

While in Harlem, I decided to stop in this coffee shop for a chai. I got the chai tea and it was really good. The inside is small so I sat on the outside. They have a good amount of outside seating. I enjoyed my time grabbing a hot drink.

An alright place. The kitchen closes in the early afternoon, so we weren't able to grab a bite we'd hoped for. The barista missed the size with our order so let us size up, which I appreciate. We got a mocha and hot chocolate which were at drinkable temperature when we got it, it's such a pet peeve of mine when it's not. They were a good comfy drink for what we needed at the time. The space is very narrow and hard to find seats in. A lot of people were just on their computers working. The connection to the bar may have added to the noise. Glad it had restrooms. Cups come without caps showing off the latte art, but the caps aren't sorted by a labeled size so I wasted one grabbing the wrong size.
