Overheard @ LW: "This place is like Williamsburg but [there] they're everywhere." Agree. Excellent spot providing good chill space on the LES. Great music too, leave your ipod at home.
The coffee is excellent, surf photography beautiful, the entire front of the store is glass looking out on to the street. Get wax here, red flower shampoo, swim trunks...
Great place to stop in and stock up on your favorite (Malin+Goetz) products! Try the Peppermint Shampoo and the Cilantro Hair Conditioner, your scalp will love it.
Definitely Urban Outfitters style coffee. I was wholly unimpressed but did take advantage of the outdoor sidewalk seating. Strangely out of place for the neighborhood vibe, I think.
If you want to have coffee in urban outfitters go here. But service is not bad. Drip coffee is a little weak. Has a potato extract flavor to it. I prefer a good strong java bean
