El Barrista cafe

Great spot to meet friends, do work. Sandwich was yummy. Coffee delicious yet a bit pricey ($8.50 for a medium mocha with oat milk - more than I pay in Manhattan). Sobolo taste amazing like I’ve had in Ghana while a Peace Corps Volunteer. I will visit again.

I can’t say enough good things about this place. The best drinks, the best food, the best atmosphere in East Harlem. It’s truly a gem. The owner and the employees are so sweet and learn your order very quickly when you’re a regular. Their drinks are so full of flavor and are the tastiest around! You really can’t beat the service. It’s truly the best!

This place is great! I love that we have a cozy and versatile spot in the neighborhood with good food and drinks (coffee during the day, happy hour in the evening). Will definitely be visiting more. The only very minor suggestion I have is that they find a way to heat up the back area a bit more. It’s cold back there in the winter! Folks didn’t even take their hats and coats off . That aside, I’m happy I went and will be back!

Great place to get some studying completed! The owner and staff were very accommodating.

Very nice cafe with good coffee and very hospitable barrista
