Once you step inside it feels like you're in a small fisherman's village coffee shop! You can pretty much order any type of coffee you want with daily fresh pastries. I got a regular ice coffee which I have to admit was very weak it could have been better but I got it maybe 20 minutes before closing time if that matters at all. I also got the avocado toast which was beyond delicious!!! If this place was closer to my home I would just drive here for the avocado toast all the time! Next time I'm in City Island I'll definitely return here and give ice coffee another shot! Also the lady who helped us with our order was super nice!! Enjoy!

This review is long overdue! I've frequented this wonderful cafe for over a year now. You can't…read moremiss this place on Crosby Avenue as it's painted an adorable mint green color. The menu has options for coffee and tea lovers alike. My go to order has been Iced Matcha. It's high quality Matcha and mixed well. They do serve it unsweetened but they have simple syrup and sugar at a stand by the door if you want to add it yourself. I have also tried the seasonal coffee flavors; all were hits. The pastries are freshly baked and they sell some artisanal snacks too. My favorites pastries are the almond croissant and cheese danish but you can't go wrong with any of the choices. There has not been a time I've come by and received poor customer service. The staff is genuinely kind. If you're in the neighborhood or just want to pop by this quaint cafe, I'd highly recommend it. P.S. They have a few tables outside when the weather is warmer.

Hidden Neighborhood Gem: Flaky Burek, Perfect Lattes, and Beautiful Vibes! Tarte Bakes on Middleton…read moreRoad is truly an amazing find in our small neighborhood! I came in with my co-teacher at 11:30 AM today, Thursday, and we were so impressed.It was a hot summer day, and walking inside felt wonderful. The space features cool, quiet, and comfortable seating with beautiful natural lighting. I also noted that outside seating was available, which looks perfect for a nice day.The food and drinks are fantastic and affordably priced. All of our items were beautifully served on elevated porcelain plates and fancy doilies! The cheese burek was absolutely delectable. It was served warm, flaky, and completely delicious. I also paired it with an iced latte that was crafted perfectly. My co-teacher had a poppy seed bagel with cream cheese that was toasted on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. Everything looked so good that I already know I want to try their rainbow cookie cake and almond croissants next time! We were in a bit of a rush and I had to run back to my next class, so I did not get a moment to say goodbye on the way out. I wanted to make sure to leave a review to thank our courteous and professional barista. We had a wonderful experience and we will definitely be back!

Now, I'll say this boldly, he makes the best rainbow cookies I've ever had (aside from my own, of course :) ). Everything I've tried here has been excellent. Perfectly balanced flavors and clearly made with care. Besides the rainbow cookies I picked up yesterday, I've attached some photos from previous visits: Bacon, Egg & Cheese - Hands down the best in the neighborhood. Not even a question in my mind. Smoked Salmon Bagel - Comes with all the fixings and features top quality lox. The bagels are from Empire, so you know they're good! Philly Cheesesteak - He roasts his own ribeye for it, and you can really taste the difference. The fries are fresh cut, the bread is made in-house, and everything consistently hits the mark. Pay him a visit and I'm sure you'll love it as much as I do!
