Thaís PulliamSeptember 18, 2016Waffles are heavenly and Avocado Toast is Delicious. I am very picky with coffee and I loved the cappuccino! I tried the almond milk one and I tastes so smooth. Great find in Harlem. Chill ambience.
Brunch options range from Jamaican to English. The Ackee & Saltfish taste great (slightly spicy from peppers) with a glass of homemade sorrel to wash it down. This place is cozy.
Lillian RodriguezFebruary 19, 2018What’s good here? EVERYTHING had the burger, amazing patty flavor. Shrimp and parmesan grits were great. Sat by the bar (Thanks costa 💕) great service. Delightful chocolate mousse
Akiko BombitaJanuary 25, 2015Wonderful spot for brunch. Veggie burger plate is a perfect portion and the brownie w/ rum cream is tasty. Great soundtrack and friendly staff. No WiFi but enjoyable w/o it.
Riqui LawrenceJuly 23, 2019Delicious food, great service and delightful hardworking owners. May favorite dish is the coconut crusted fish with chips paired with ginger beer. Occasional wait for tables but well worth it.
Anna RobertsJune 8, 2016The burger is dope, fries are what I want all fries to be! Love the atmosphere. Came in for brunch at 11am and there was already a line out the door. Awesome neighborhood addition!
Harlem AmbassadorOctober 6, 2014A small place that specializes in small plates. That mezze w/ curry chik is tasty. Cod fritters and shrimp are worth the trip alone. $4 wine for happy hour b4 8pm. Can we get them to stay open later?
Stephanie Davis GarzoliOctober 9, 2017You gotta come here for lunch! I get the avocado smash toast with smoked salmon on top, and the Belgian waffle with berries and homemade whipped cream. Cozy and comfy.
OJSApril 14, 2018A truly unique and welcoming restaurant in the heart of Harlem. The service was exceptional, the food made of quality ingredients, and the ambience perfect for a family. We will return.
Super nice - I only had $5 on me and my total was $5.17, but she let me slide. Much appreciated!! I have a punch card now and will continue to go back and show my loyalty :) Good coffee and croissant!
Adam ScottMay 26, 2015The veggie burger is ridiculous. It's comes with this fresh brioche bun,spicy mayo, plantains, and salad. No need the.put anything in your coffee. It's delicious as is.- Riqui LawrenceApril 14, 2018Coconut battered fish and chips. Ginger beer. Outstanding meal and service. Very welcoming environment. Owners Juliet and Justine Masters are very hands on without making the staff grumpy .

Alexander ShirshikovJune 29, 2017Quite tasty, but the portions are small and the room is crowdy, dark and stuffy.
Alex FishJune 15, 2015Great coffee and veggie burger. Service wasn't that great, but food made up for it.
