This is the kind of place that makes you never want to leave the wvillage. Downstairs is a jazz bar at night, and a swanky wifi and blue bottle powered workplace during the day.
Michael NataleSeptember 17, 2017Good staff. Truly French. Great atmosphere and design. Good wines. Great spot for a drink or two after the office. Haven't tried the food but looks good and have heard positive feedback from others
Andrew HayakawaAugust 31, 2017Overall good ambience and good date spot. The food is decently priced for a casual French restaurant. Recommend the selection of cheese and charcuterie, or the truffle fries.
Allie MahlerAugust 21, 2014A perfect spot to work during the day or evening (although there is a no-laptop policy after 7pm). Get a coffee or tea and sit next to the open windows. Wifi. Blue bottle coffee. Good vibes.
MNZ .August 11, 2014Lovely coffee-shop with huge windows and free wifi in a great location. And the coffee is good too..so perfect spot to study or to have a chitchat with a friend.. What else to ask for?
M NOctober 22, 2016Salmon, steak tartare and the chicken were extremely good, one the best meals I've had in the west village
Grateful I moved out of the neighborhood! The downstairs is salvageable but upstairs is a bistro and extremely busy/loud now. Head downstairs if you must for peace and quiet - beware of laptop zone- open late all year, open windows in the summer. tucked away and filled with local chill west village folks. this location is one of my favorite coffee shops in all of New York
Phillipe Casorla SagotMarch 2, 2015Great jazz bar downstairs, very hipster jazz compared to other places in the area but still great music quiality, been here three times and the music is always top quality.
Naeem IshaqAugust 28, 2016Simply amazing. We had the filet mingion and a burger. Best meal yet in NYC during the last two months!
Cody RobbinsSeptember 9, 2013They’ve got La Colombe coffee. They’ve got wifi. They’ve got outlets. And it’s amazing on a warm day with all the windows folded open.- Solène MaîtreNovember 3, 2014Nice place to grab a coffee in the morning. You can also go downstairs to work with your laptop. Just 2 hours Wifi though.
- Strong WiFi and blue bottle coffee and vibe that feels like SF makes for a great work spot
Renaud #June 12, 2017Solid French cuisine at this small restaurant, perfect for a date night. Tuna Tartare with avocado 👌🏻
Kathryn DJuly 19, 2016Lovely spot to longer in the afternoons with wine, fries, a good book, and views out large windows.
HarryJune 1, 2015Cozy little bistro, tastefully decorated. Nice coffee, big windows, perfect for a rainy day!
So cozy with good vibe. Serves blue bottle coffee. Love the big windows and all the cute dogs that comes around on the weekends.
During the summer, whynot opens the windows wide for a nice breeze. Coffee's good, and the bossa nova tunes from the record player are even better.
Zhanna SchonfeldAugust 2, 2014Cozy, low-key atmosphere, trip-hop playing in the background. No pastries after 8pm and no laptops after 7.
Lyndsie HarrisFebruary 22, 2016The scallops were amazing and the octopus was the best I've ever had. Yaz hooked it up with excellent service too.
Elizabeth BursteinMarch 13, 2017Awesome restaurant w delicious truffle risotto, squid ink pasta, and yummy Camembert cheese to start!
StefanieMarch 27, 2016Such an adorable French-inspired hidden gem. We stop in on weekend afternoons for coffee or champs.
Lee Lee's ForestAugust 12, 2014Super cute cafe in the west village. Will for sure come back. Live jazz!!
Zach M.June 20, 2013Best coffee shop in the west village, hands down. Never thought I'd find a place that tops Jack's, but this place somehow does.
CharlottesFebruary 10, 20161/2 price vino in winter, and a warm friendly space with free wifi, good food and friendly service. Happy days
Cappuccino was a bit heavy for me. Get a cortado and take a seat by the floor-to-ceiling window.
Sasha SadraiMay 22, 2013Love that they take care with just an ice coffee: regular coffee with just enough room for a shot of espresso
They have the best regular coffee in the west village and great choices of milk which includes almond milk and soy milk.
Sassy EJanuary 14, 2016Food was great. We didn't feel rushed and we truly enjoyed our time. Service was timely and friendly.- Lovely spot to catch up with friends or get some work done.
- Thomas MoAugust 14, 2014When you're tired and question whether you can have another cup of coffee without your heart exploding, say whynot? And come here to get another.
- M NDecember 18, 2016Duck is incredible, sweet and warm tomato sauce...Octopus appetizer is crispy and light.
Alex PriestAugust 20, 2014GREAT spot to work and hang out, but they'll ask you to put away laptops at 8pm. After that, great date spot.
Yera HaOctober 7, 2014Awesome spot! Spacious, lots of seating, cool vibe. Switch things up and try the iced mocha!
Vaidehi KMarch 21, 2015Great if you're looking for a place to work. Head downstairs for plenty of outlets and good wifi.
Gajtana SimonovskaMarch 5, 2017Good French with strong wine list. Felt a little rushed to order more food, no lingering here on a Saturday night. Decent French option.
Coffee during the day. Wine at night. Live jazz downstairs. Enjoy all three.
Wide open 14' windows and benches on Gay Street. A great improvement over the unvisited clothing store that was on this corner.
Ben YoungOctober 18, 2014Come in on a nice day when the windows are open, soak up the village feel over coffee.
Rachel SheppardAugust 15, 2014No laptops/tablets after 7 pm, but that means there's plenty of space for wine and people watching!
Andrew DuchiAugust 5, 2014Tables are just the right size to put down your coffee and a laptop for some work!
