Customer Reviews

★★★★☆ 4.0 Léa · Jan 2026

I went to this coffee place to work and had a mixed experience. The space is cozy in theory, but the ceiling is quite low and the lighting is rather dark, which made the atmosphere feel a bit heavy and not very comfortable for long work sessions. The coffee itself was good and well made, but I personally found it a bit distracting and not ideal for focusing. I actually preferred my experience at their Brooklyn location. The staff here felt rather cold and not very welcoming, which didn’t help with the overall vibe. I think this spot works better for grabbing a coffee with a friend rather than spending a few hours working. Overall, an okay experience, but not the most comfortable or inviting place for productivity.

★★★★★ 5.0 Diana Sánchez · Sep 2025

This is a great spot for coffee lovers. The coffee is smooth and well-made, and the space has a cool design. A perfect place to relax or catch up with friends.

★★★★★ 5.0 Patrick Crosby · Dec 2025

Totally awesome third space. Great coffee and pastries. Cozy back room to hang, chill, read, or whatever. Love this place.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Pegasus · Feb 2026

The coffee is pretty good. The staff is super friendly and sweet, which makes it a nice place to stay if you're already nearby. However, I wouldn't specifically recommend going there just for coffee - Starbucks is much closer and offers better drinks. The vibe here is pretty loud, but it's cool because I've seen people working and still enjoying themselves. I'm not a huge fan myself, though of this type of vibe.

★★★★★ 5.0 Sara I · Jan 2026

My husband is a huge coffee snob and this is his favorite coffee place in the city. Great cappuccinos! I also love their Nutella banana bread and scones and good iced tea too. Nice atmosphere for meeting up with a friend or work colleague
