Berk KapiciogluFebruary 8, 2014Norm is one cool barista. World class cappuccino. The only place I know that accepts square payments. Long bar area that has plugs at every stool. Perfect for laptop or notebook work.
Love, love, love this place! This place makes a great cappuccino, has free wifi, private karaoke rooms, and is a hidden gem for studying. It's also on the Cups app, and get $10 off with code "gtyzl"
Deepak ShrivastavaJuly 5, 2013Great coffee & teas -- great vibe with even better music. Can easily chill here for ours with either great conversation with a friend or working away at your laptop. Norm, the owner, is v hospitable- simhskalOctober 1, 2016Hidden gem in the coolest neighborhood . Their cortado is super amazing. Free wifi and perfect space to get some work done
At night this turns into a karaoke bar but before that it plays some of the best music in town as a coffee shop. Seating isn't great but it's not usually overflowing with people. Good coffee too
Cathy 🐰February 6, 2013A hidden gem to get some work done. Free wifi and a good selection of caffeine free tea. Only been here one other time and the barista remembered I prefer caffeine free tea today. That's good service.
Lori LuoAugust 17, 2014Cut coffee shop with free WiFi and a relaxed, dim interior. It converts into a karaoke bar at night!
Christopher CantwellJanuary 25, 2014Order a cup of the Ruvumbu, take a seat at the bar, and listen to the baristas chat. You'll learn a lot about proper coffee brewing.
Jessica de OliveiraFebruary 17, 2016Great low key study spot with free wifi and a random karaoke studio in the back. This place is keepin it real day and night.
Tarek PertewOctober 9, 2013Be the cool guy (or gal) that takes your coffee snobs to this unassuming spot. Everything is delicious + The best iced latte I've ever had.
Andrew FurmanNovember 16, 2015This place is a karaoke bar at night and a coffee shop during the day. Great place to hang, and awesome iced coffee.
elena scottAugust 29, 2013Great coffee, work-friendly set-up, good toons, kind people, blueberry-mint muffins, fabulous vibe -- perfect way to start a day.- Nate BeattyOctober 19, 2015With free with and a long bar, this place has turned into a workbar. Enjoy tech-focused events put on by the awesome owners though
Beans from Toby's Estate. Chill spot to get work done with plenty of hidden outlets. Wifi password is "coffeefoundry" & say hi to Norm.
Nick RizkJanuary 12, 2015Best espresso I've had so far, and it's an ideal place to work in groups as they have open rooms in the back- laurenFebruary 25, 2015Quirky setup (entryway to karaoke bar), but it's prepped to work from: outlets, free wifi and an option for $11 all you can drink coffee & better wifi
Dan KaoAugust 5, 2013One of my favorite coffee stops AND its a bar/karaoke bar at night. Well done. They don't sell whole bean yet so I guess thats how they keep you coming back
Gregg TAugust 25, 2014Good combination of coffees here, they have drip, pour-over and can pull a good espresso
Kimberely ChengNovember 1, 2013Cortado. Free wifi. Great service. And outlets. Say hi to Norm!!!! Open until 6 and closed on Sundays.
Natalie VApril 30, 2016Coffee was decent and they have wifi and lots of room to work - good place to camp out. Transitions to karaoke at night!
Kevin YienSeptember 29, 2014solid cappuccino. just dry enough. fast free wifi. power outlets at the bar. quiet music.
Norm is the man! One of the best places for coffee and get some work done.
Lane RettigSeptember 15, 2015It's really a karaoke lounge hastily converted into a cafe by day. The seats aren't very comfortable and it's kinda grungy.
Helena WongJuly 10, 2013friendly barista, peaceful, spacious, free wifi, plenty of outlets..why did it take me this long to come here?
Lily ZJanuary 21, 2015Need a quick place to hold a business meeting during the day? Ask Norm about using the rooms in back!
Jake CohnFebruary 18, 2016Came here on a Thursday morning. It was nice, spacious, peaceful, and quiet.
Christopher GizziMay 27, 2011This place is great! In the morning, get your coffee. In the afternoon/evening, enjoy a selection of Belgian beers. I don't think I'll ever leave here.
Andrew ChenApril 7, 2010They just started serving homemade "deconstructed coffee" cupcakes today - vanilla cake with vanilla butter cream & dark roasted espresso beans on top. Amazing.
Lattes, drip coffees are all excellent. Norman is a great guy!
Faiz MunshiFebruary 12, 2011Great place to catch up on work/reading. Plenty of power outlets and free wifi. Not to forget - good coffee too!
Brazilian and Bolivian breed are absolutely divine. :) amazing staff. free wi-fi. doesn't get any better!
Leo MedinaNovember 25, 2015A bit tight for a coffee shop. Feels more like a bar. Good events though (Founder's friday)
If you're not into coffee or tea, ask for the Hot Chocolate.
Benny WongApril 10, 2010Vietnamese iced coffee is great, and I hear the drip coffee is really great. Ask the guys behind the counter about the coffee :)
Project Latte: a NYC cafe culture guideDecember 12, 2012Weird Korean-run spot, occupies West Village karaoke bar during the day, uses Toby's Coffee. Not particularly comfortable, but there's wifi. Read more
Try the Bolivian iced coffee--it's the next best thing to the Cold Brew, which they only make occasionally now.
