Stumbling upon here on my way to BK Museum. Love the aesthetic and chill vibe at this cafe. Especially coming from the downtown Manhattan side, where an uncluttered, low key cafe that's quiet enough to write or even read a book is practically distinct these days. Typical price for anywhere hip/semi-hip in NYC - hello, $8 cold brew lol Will come back when I am around the hood.

I love the simplicity of the food as well as the atmosphere. Waitstaff was friendly. Really clean and open space. A nice place to grab a coffee with a friend or sit down and do some work. Clean bathroom. They offer a variety of pastries. I had the blueberry scone as well as the golden latte. I don’t drink coffee, but I definitely enjoyed myself at this coffee house. I absolutely love the concept of having crossword puzzles there. If you’re going to take a date for morning, coffee. This is the place. You can spend an hour just laughing, some coffee, and enjoying a word puzzle. even the punchcard was cute, the punchcard is a guy holding no coffee. And when you get a punch, it’s a cup of Joe lol I will be back.
