Not sure people are aware but this place is kinda famous. It’s a coffee maker’s coffee place. For true hardcore coffee aficionados. They use a hand built Slayer Espresso coffee machine. Tiny, cute, packed, popular, neighborhood-y. Opened in 2008.
This place is really lovely. I stopped by on a sunny day for a little rest and a coffee. The service is lovely and feels kind. The espresso is specialty grade and well extracted. A safe stop for picky espresso enthusiasts. Definitely swing by if you’re in the area and looking for a delicious coffee.
Such a Tasty find. Coffee has a strong flavor. Usually order Nitro Cold Brew. Smaller coffee shop but there is a larger one in Harlem.
I come here occasionally, as they have excellent pastries. I usually get a cold brew, which has been good in my experience. Last time I went, they forgot my cold brew and I had to go back up to remind them. That’s fine, things happen. But I go today to get a sandwich and espresso. I get the sandwich and I’m waiting around 5-10 minutes for my espresso. I finish the sandwich, go up to ask about the espresso, and it’s been forgotten. Once is a mistake, twice is a systemic issue. Once I get it, it’s acidic and bitter and certainly not worth the $ including tax and tip. Service is nice but you just can’t charge people this much and regularly not give them the items they paid for. Seems this place has some issues and I’ll likely opt for gertrude on 96 in the future.
Everyone who works here is incredible. Quality can’t be matched anywhere in the neighborhood!!!
Really superb coffee, great service and wonderful pastries
Went in with my service dog and one of the staff members was asking what service my dog performs. I told him that's private information but he kept pushing. Plenty of great coffee shops in the neighborhood where one won't feel disrespected by inappropriate interrogation.
I quite love the coffee and ambiance of this tiny coffee shop. I stop by here when I have a fresh bagel from Absolute down the block. The coffee is roasted to perfection and a latte pairs swimmingly with the bagels. I appreciate the occasional latte art as well.
