What a cute and cozy spot! Such a cool vibe for a quick delicious coffee and yummy bite. Went in Monday afternoon for a creamy latte and it was delicious. The barista was the absolute sweetest; with the best energy! Nice way to start my day, good vibes and great tasting coffee! First time there but definitely my new favorite spot now.

Such a cute little spot to grab something and go. The barista was so cheery and patient. I couldn’t choose something that morning so I asked her to make me her favorite drink. She did a hot chai latte with espresso, I’d go back again and again for that!

FYI: no seating. Just a counter basically. That being said, I happily handed over my money, plus a tip, to the more-than-helpful barista for putting up not only with my initial disappointment with no seating area, but also my questions about coffee offerings and other unrelated topics. The pricing was very reasonable for the quality of espresso (I got an unflavored, unsweetened latte and it was wanna smack somebody good) and definitely way underpriced for the quality of service. And I am almost never impressed by service these days especially for something I am so discerning about like coffee and "real espresso". Honestly, I am admittedly usually a very reluctant customer at most places offering food and beverage selections. But not here! Well done friends, well done.

My friends and I absolutely love this place! We are here for the week in New York and stop by every morning before going on about our day. The customer service is awesome! We recommend the cookies and cream overnight oats!

Finally a cute coffee shop in this area! Its small (no tables but some outdoor seating) but the staff is nice and they have really great drinks - shoutout to the homemade iced strawberry matcha latte! I also had the pistachio muffin which was delicious. Will definitely be back.
