I was a bit disappointed by the coffee scene in NYC until I had one of the best cappuccino at this place. The texture was so smooth and silky, with no harsh coffee taste. It was a perfect cup. Would definitely comeback during my next visit to nyc.
I was skeptical of other 5 star reviews, but this place will be the best place for your Latte around here for sure. I don’t know what they did on my coffee but the milk foam is unbelievably silky and creamy. I also thought they put sugar in my latte since the milk itself is really sweet. I’m on my halfway through finishing my latte and even the bottom is silky. I assume they use great quality milk. I’m glad that I found a gem place in upper west and the price is also cheaper than Starbucks with amazing service and superior quality of coffee. 5.75 on medium size latte Cons: the space tiny, so you won’t be able to find a seat in most chances(only 4 tiny tables) and you may have to line for 5-10m. I think it worth it though
I met a potential roommate her. She bought me an apple turnover which I will buy again. It tasted amazing. Regular haunt for university students. There were adults and a toddler. Sitting is limited inside and four table and eight chairs outside. Great concept. As a non coffee drinker I can’t comment on taste but seems to have a great menu for coffee lovers. Clientele while I was there was mixed. Seems to be a better alternative to Starbies which is a block away. They it. I think it’ll be a regular spot of most new people to try.
Great cute place to have coffee and croissant! With a small place to seat outside. Just besides there is the memory of a dead cyclist that is also intetesting to see
One of the best coffees I’ve tried in NY. I am a coffee drinker and usually rate coffee shops for their taste and quality and this is top coffee. The place is very small, but the ambiance is great and the staff is amazing! Highly recommend it if you are near by.
The espresso here is absolutely insane. I don’t think I’ve ever had espresso that smooth in my entire life and now I’m wondering why I spent 32 years of my life abusing my tastebuds with large chain coffee.
Nice coffee shop. Punches above its weight. It has delicious and unique croissant offerings. The espresso is incredible. I had a cortado and it was exactly what I needed. There are some chairs in front. Customer service is top-notch. No nonsense, with great efficiency. Heads up the chairs that are perpendicular to the entrance are underneath a pigeon nest, as evidenced by the little bits of poop on the ground.
Oh, definitively on of the best coffee places in New York! The coffee always tastes exceptionally good. The barristas are highly skilled. They also have a small selection of pastry, croissants and so on. The place is very small with only very few tables, so you might not be ble to find a seat.
