    Perfect spot for working. You only get 2 hours of wifi per purchase, but the outdoors garden has outlets and great signal!

    cool little cafe in the garden apartment of a brownstone. more space inside than you'd expect looking at it from the outside

    Cute little café with good coffee. Sometimes gets a bit crowded. Would be less if they removed the stools at the counter.

    One of the most adorable cafes in the city. Usually not super crowded. Wifi is on a timer, but is solid

    Delicious copy. Bring cash, as they charge extra for credit cards.

    This place is really a charmer. Food is fresh and creative. Service is warm. And the prices are very reasonable.

    They charge you extra for dairy free milk alternatives. Not worth a trip for vegans or anyone with lactose intolerance.

    Changed their coffee bean and changed their staff. Next time I want to wait 10 minutes for mediocre coffee as they run out of ice and change (happened twice now) I'll go somewhere cheaper.

    Used to be religious about coming here. The wait time is atrocious. 10+ minutes for a cup of coffee with high prices is just not ok.

    Terrible service every single time-no matter how busy. Even worse, food and coffee are mediocre.

    This place is the closest coffee shop to our place so, I've been here 13 times in 5 years. 13/13 it's been a miserable experience.
