Alke Café

A friend held their birthday party here, and it was a great time with really good food. They let us play music and host trivia in a cool, single room space. There was also some live music afterwards.

This is an AMAZING bar/cafe. We got to speak with the owner who is an amazing person. If you’re lucky enough to meet her chat, she’s informative and just a good vibe all around. We were there on a cold-ish day so only got coffee. But they have a bunch of food and drinks. Lots of events throughout the week. Live music. Great ambience. Good company. Will 1000% be back!

I love this place! It is such a gem for the area! Great energy, awesome event options including comedy, music, special events! I recently went to an incredible special tasting menu that had northern Nigerian specialities that was mind blowing! Monday night comedy is always fun with great drinks from a great bar staff and energy. Alke is also open for coffee which is always nice especially to grab on a walk to the park with the pup or to sit outside when weather allows

My friend recently had his birthday party here and Alke Cafe was extremely accommodating. The service and food was excellent. I highly recommend!

I am so happy a new cafe & bar opened up in the neighborhood. The atmosphere is excellent and the service was fabulous. I had and iced matcha latte with oat milk and my best friend had an iced latte with oat milk. Both drinks were strong and delicious. We ordered a cheese croissant and a chocolate one. Both were super fresh & soft on the inside. We chose to enjoy our coffee and tea in the outside seating area. The barista was lovely and attentive. I highly recommend this place both on atmosphere and quality of products. I encourage you to support this black owned business the next time you come to Harlem.
