One of the cutest cafes in New York. I love the atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The croissant is very fresh and the lattes are also very good. Especially the smoothies are a must try. I definitely recommend!!

Love this place - stop here for my morning coffee on the days I go into the office. The baristas are all friendly, and importantly, efficient. Prices are on the higher end, but I suppose that’s just how it goes with quality coffee shops in NYC right now. They use Devocion beans which is a high end specialty coffee roaster, so I guess it comes with the territory. They also sell bags of whole bean coffee for at home use! The best iced coffee I’ve found in NYC and the Nutella banana bread is so good I have to remind myself to be responsible and not get a piece every day. They used to have an outpost in the little park right out front by the subway stop, I understand why they didn’t renew that lease but so glad this storefront is still there. The decor here is cute too, I love the llama theme all over and they even sell their own custom coffee mugs now! I have to get one. I’ll come here for as long as I live in the neighborhood and commute on the F - this is a gem of a coffee shop.
