great workspace in the mornings - wifi, coffee, a few pastries and a breakfast menu that includes avocado toast, an omelet, etc.Upvote17Downvote
Perfect for having a glass (or carafe, or bottle) of wine with a friend after work, where the option is always open to have some food, too. Menu changes often but white bean hummus is a classic hit.

This is the place dreams are made of. Casual, comfy, food, drinks, alcohol, and the freedom to work, read, or mingle. 😍Upvote11Downvote
Paige CDecember 14, 2017Really cute cafe (a great spot to work) but I feel like they need to expand their menu a bit. It was pretty limiting. They should also include avocado toast on the lunch menu, not just breakfast.

Kayleigh HarringtonAugust 23, 2017I can not think of an occasion that Fairfax would not be perfect for. Meetings, working, a date... share a few plates and enjoy the comfortable ambiance.

AmateurConciergeDecember 5, 2018More like a cafe hang spot that happens to do whatever dishes they offer really well. Brussels were awesome. So was the 4 oz, $10 burger. Good vibes

Carbonara flat bread is the perfect indulgent brunch breakfast sandwich, with great vibes on top

Jennifer YuFebruary 7, 2020I don’t know what I love more. The fact that it’s not a generic wine list or the fact that you feel like you’re in a living room that’s not atypical of NYC living room standards. What a gem.UpvoteDownvote
Alex RobertsonOctober 9, 2017good place to work and they played a bunch of Cocteau twins but doesn't the decor feel a little completely random?

Aditya MullangiFebruary 10, 2020They don’t have a lot of coffee options. And conversations are barely audible over the musicUpvoteDownvote
Kurkina AnnaSeptember 7, 2019Great vibe, but bad service. The hostess was extremely rude. They don’t take reservations and she still couldn’t keep tables goingUpvoteDownvote
AmandaNovember 17, 2019Vibe is cute. Dinner was nothing special for an expensive bill. Small portions.UpvoteDownvote
