From my visit in June 2023. Small coffee shop with lacking care to the coffee making process that focuses on convenience and orders that are to go. The coffee is on the stronger, roastier side making it more bitter and less smooth. I prefer smoother, well balanced roasts so not a huge fan.

Probably my favorite cafes in NYC from vibes alone. Super cute cafe, great tasting coffee, and some of the nicest and funniest baristas I’ve met!! 💕💕 what more can I ask for?

Good coffee at a reasonable price. The interior has some character, and the service was friendly and quick. I came here after a very disappointing experience at Joe & the Juice not too far down the street. (See my review about them separately.)
