Besides great Stumptown coffee, they play legit K-pop music here! Special coffee drinks go by the amt. of milk by oz on the menu. Ask how to decipher! Flat white is the 5 oz, cortado is the 3 oz.
Phil TorontoAugust 25, 2014Really awesome spot. Good amount of seating, great coffee, wifi (password on the tip jar) and they have almond milk 👏😎✌️
Lucy MariaDecember 20, 2017Friendly service & good place to work from. Not good for a call as it can get loud, but there’s free WiFi & bathroom plus yummy pastries & coffee. Gets busy so best to come early to get a good spot.- Anne PolNovember 9, 2014Cortados are delicious. The guy barista with dark hair and beard is the best! Finally a truly nice happy person serving at a 3rd wave coffee shop :)
Love the coffee as well as the mixed green/black tea. Great place to meet a friend or business partner. I wouldn't try to work here as it's loud and chatty. Plus the wifi is budget.
MischaNovember 11, 2014Great spot, cozy and very local. Treat yourself to a espresso with milk (widely known as a latte) or ask for the daily brew. Also, chai tea is one of the best I've tasted.
Kevin O'NeillJune 15, 2016Cute little coffee shop tucked away such that you might miss it. Don't expect a great breakfast but good coffee
Selina M.February 6, 2018Super cute café with nice staff and gluten-free + vegan options for pastries as well as milk. Def recommended!!
JustinOctober 11, 2015Great coffee, friendly staff. Sit in the window and watch the world go by as you recharge!
Paul MJuly 28, 2013Delicious coffee, definitely in the top tier for NYC. The Hair Bender espresso holds true to its name.
William LüAugust 5, 2016Good coffee and cozy place. Could be a bit cleaner, more stocked up and tidier but it does have a local, cool vibe.
Literally off the beaten path, in a neighborhood seemingly devoted to sports bars and screens, it is a nice place to hang for a bit and sip a hot beverage.
Kartik SathappanAugust 8, 2014Amazing iced latte every time. Also try the thai iced tea here during the summer- it's delicious!
Really nice iced coffee in a cool place with super friendly peeps behind the counter! Amazing addition to the neighborhood.
Taylor VAOctober 24, 2015I got a cortado. Enjoyed it. Has nice indoor seating with lots of natural light so good spot in winter.
- Miss this place in my old neighborhood. Def one of the best (and appropriately priced) cold brews in town
Nice little gem in Murray Hill, good coffee, good service. Bathroom someone hidden in plain site.
The Culinary AnthropologistJanuary 10, 2014Went in for a chai tea latte - came out with a delicious red chilli tea latte. Try it with almond milk.... Delicious!
Gianna NebbiaMay 5, 2018Cute little spot! Not a ton of seats but always enough when I go mid day with my laptop
Carl AnhaltFebruary 21, 2016Coffee, gluten free, cold brew, dough doughnuts, stumptown, Hot chocolate

Phil KatzDecember 9, 2015Fantastic and adorable little coffee shop, with great coffee and baked goods.
Nicolette RomeroSeptember 27, 2014Cozy spot on a quiet street. Great place to do a little work and grab a coffee. ☕️
Melissa S. CohenNovember 6, 2014Free refills on regular coffee! Also, it's nice and quiet. There's music, but it doesn't drown out conversation.
- Nice people. Good service. Primo pastries and good coffee. And they are good neighbors.
Very warm staff and excellent coffee. Nice to have in an otherwise generic Murray Hill.
- J VApril 15, 2013Awesome new coffee shop- exactly what Murray hill needed!! Amazing coffee & cool staff!

"The first-ever draft latte on tap--yep, just like beer--combines milk and espresso so it’s foamy, smooth and naturally sweet. Best of all, it’s also available in a can."
