Peter JOctober 21, 2017Awesome barista who clearly loves her coffees, plenty of spots to open a laptop (bucking the Bklyn trend), beans and equipment for sale too. Not sure why this place only ranks around 7 right now
Ignore pre-2016 tips about Doughnut Plant donuts (not since DP moved in on Flatbush) or good coffee (current baristas don't like/drink coffee) 💔
Solid coffee spot to hit while you wait for repairs next door at Ride Brooklyn. Owner is sooo nice, they have great merch + pastries (some Vegan!) + chill front outdoor space, whats not to love?
ShahSeptember 17, 2014More modern vibe than their 5th Ave location, but equally amazing coffee (they do pour-overs here!). Oh, and Doughnut Plant donuts.
XavierApril 28, 2015Come and take your morning coffee you will leave this caffe with a smile! Love it, nice music :)
NaiaraMay 1, 2015This is a great place to relax and read a good book. The coffee is very good as well as the pastry. The music is awesome! The waiters are very nice.
Andrew FurmanFebruary 6, 2017Great coffee shop with lots of seating. It was croweded when I went on Sunday afternoon.
j kirklandOctober 11, 2014Best coffee in the 'slope. Staff is usually pretty cool. They also have great pourouvers from single origin beans. 🙏
They sell Doughnuts from the Doughnut Plant, including the magical square doughnuts, be still my heart!!!
Jon RohanAugust 30, 2016The pour over coffee was pretty good, for a city that seems to be lacking the slow pour over spirit. The wifi is good, but no outlets. 😫🔌
Get the maple latte. Delicious. They have a record player, and they use it.- Nate FolkertSeptember 18, 2014wifi network is GORILLA WiFi, password is k!ngkong, though when I tried I couldn't connect to the internet
JC Martinez-SifreAugust 30, 2014such a show, but the art of coffee has been elevated to its the psychotropic levels befitting any inyoxicant.
Get the smaller lattes because all you're paying for is more milk you big baby.
David PacklesFebruary 23, 2014Great spot. But beware of ordering an iced coffee off season. Somehow it'll take them 20 minutes to get it to you.
Ryan BuckleyJune 7, 2014Another tip stated free iced coffee with purchase of beans, but it's only for hot coffee.
Yvonne LeowJanuary 1, 2014groovy james brown music, solid coffee and minimal baby traffic. Please don't change.
Dorothy HoOctober 4, 2014The cafe setting is relaxing and spacious. Coffee was ordinary, there are better pales short walking distance away.- Gabrielle ShoykhetFebruary 25, 2019The owner of this place,Carol,very angrily and rudely threw out my moms and my tea in front of our face. After throwing out our tea she told us that we need training in being people and kicked us out.
- New workers have no idea how to make a cup of coffee. There are better options in the neighborhood now
- Jemima DouyonNovember 13, 2018Awful coffee shop. The barista rolled her eyes the entire time she spoke to me. In addition this place has no outlets. Waste of my money. Go somewhere else seriously!

"The espresso-based drinks here are among the best in the city. I've had cappucinos here made by three different baristas and they've all been superb. Cool people too!"
