    I've been meaning to come here for some time now. It's pretty small - so I can't imagine what the weekends are like. I was lucky enough to get a take on a random weekend at 12:30 pm. Note: there is no bathroom!! I got a hot vanilla latte with whole milk ($7.57).

    Got the rocket fuel and the toasted coconut latte -- both were so good!! Rocket fuel tasted a bit like the black and tan from la colombe x a less sweet version of nola at blue bottle. Toasted coconut latte had a subtle coconut flavor without being very sweet at all. Indoor seating is great to catch up with friends but no bathroom which is not great.

    Stumbled upon this cute cafe that sits right up my alley. The interior is sleek, clean, with spacious tables (+outlets!) perfect for working from home, study sessions, or people watching. Lady who was there alone in the early morning was very friendly and did a great job pumping out drinks. Cortado 7/10 the coffee wasnt the best for me as it was kinda sour tasting but points for good temp and very cute latte art! Pistachio coconut bar 8/10 dense, nutty, good flavor and not too sweet Pitaya bowl 8.5/10 great bowl with lots of toppings, great way to start the day!

    iced latte with oat milk ~$8.50

    Good space, wifi is slow though. Coffee is just ok but the fact you can actually work here is a plus.

    Leftover pastries

    I found this place on Too Good to Go (the app that promotes last-minute food to reduce food waste) and I bought a $4 mystery box of pastries. The guy working was super generous and gave me a couple scones, a couple cookie-type things, and a couple muffins. It was a mix of sweet and savory pastries and undeniably a great value for what I paid. He was also super nice and kind - it was a pleasant experience overall. Pastries were, to be honest, just okay. Again, for the price I paid it was an unbelievable deal, I just don't know if they were good enough where I'd be inclined to run back and buy them at full cost. I actually really liked the cookie things, which were dense and moist and full of seeds, chocolate, fruit, etc. They almost had a sort of protein bar type texture so I could lie to myself and pretend they were healthy (an added bonus!). Not sure how much of the issue was the pastries being old/leftover so I def give them a pass, but overall there are definitely better spots to get a sweet treat in the area. Cute cafe though and I would consider coming back for a coffee!

    Cafe on the way, on my Sunday coffee hour and I was glad the Amano Cafe was on the way. Coffee taste good with small potion and trendy customers. There are seats inside and the ambiance was good and warm welcome. Even the barista wasn't able to give me exactly what I want but he still give me a good coffee.

    Very cute and modern atmosphere! Amano cafe has been on my list of coffee shops to try. I went with their French vanilla latte. It was amazing! On the sweeter side but I always prefer sweeter drinks. You can tell the employees take their time making the drinks and don't rush the process. There's some seating inside and outside, but it is small so there may be a chance all tables are taken. Overall good coffee and good atmosphere!

    Good coffee, great pastries, confused service! Got a simple black coffee with almond milk, and it was not bitter or "thin," as I like to say. It wasn't the best coffee I've ever had, but it was certainly better than the typical you would find. Shared the banana bread and lemon olive oil cakes and they were fantastic. Highly recommend either one! So light and fresh! Guys running the place are very friendly and I wish them success on their new place, but they need to be a bit more attentive. They gave my friend a hot drink when she asked for iced, they forgot to give straws and utensils, and they are quite slow. However, it's a new cafe and they're still getting the hang of things, so they can improve! Overall, cute neighborhood spot, good coffee, few tables outside, and wonderful pastries.

    Small and trendy. The vegan banana muffin was great but the chai was pretty bland. Maybe I was just unlucky I'm sure their other drinks are better. Service was pretty quick for takeout

    My favorite thing to do is find new coffee shops in nyc that has a nice atmosphere and spacious enough to bring my laptop to get work done. Amano is a cute little cafe on the corner that provides indoor and outdoor seating and okay wifi. The coffee is okay but the real star of the cafe is the açaí bowls. I love a good açaí bowl and most bowls taste pretty similar wherever you go. Not at Amano cafe though. There's something so delicious about the açaí bowl here that keeps me coming back. It's just enough sweetness and packed with a good amount of fresh fruit. Def recommend

    Cortado
    Jay Y.

    Cute little cafe spot in WV. Cortado was great! I'm not a fan of cortados that use light or light/medium roasts, but this one was a really good balance of the acidity and flavor that comes with lighter roasts and the nuttiness i love in darker roasts! Latte art was an extra plus, weighted cups and all. Its got wifi and a quiet space which makes it good for working, but no bathroom. Chipotle down the street or Washington square park is your best bet.

The oysters were incredibly fresh, clean, briny, and perfectly served. Another standout that I'll definitely be ordering again. Between the atmosphere, the consistency of the food (super yummy), and the thoughtful team, Conwell Hall is quickly becoming one of those places you keep coming back to.

We tried the melon shaved ice $22 for the large which was a bit pricy but it was quite delicious. We were worried that the large might be too much for two people but honestly we were able to finish it without a problem. The melon pieces were sweet, the ice is milk based so it was creamy and flavorful on its own. We barely used the condensed milk that it came with (and we loved how they put it on the side for us instead). At the bottom of the shaved ice was cereal pieces and mochi which gave a nice different texture. We also tried their drinks specifically their blue lemonade and mango-ade which I thought was just ok. The highlight is definitely their shaved ice. Definitely go for the large as the small seemed much smaller and for double the price, you can get almost 2-3x more. Overall: it's a great place to grab a shaved ice and relax . The atmosphere is chill and you can stay without feeling rushed.

The royal chai was creamy, salty, perfect sweet, and silky. It had notes of cinnamon and saffron, paired with sea salt. I loved this drink. The breakfast kathi-rito was tasty. I loved the potatoes, cheese, egg, avocado, and whatever else was in it. The sauce on the side was delicious. Not exactly sure what it was but it was sweet with a kick. The mango lassi did not have enough mango flavor for me, I couldn't justify paying $10 for it. The condensed milk bun was good but it was similar to any other sweet bun in an asian bakery.

This was on display and it was marked as vegan which made it sound very enticing. Unfortunately it was a miss for me. The icing was overly sugary which gave it an almost cloyingly sweet taste and a crisp top. The cake was dry and lacked a strong mango flavor. I would have liked it more if there was a different frosting that was creamier and less sweet and if there was a layer of jam in the middle to keep the cake moist. - mango smoothie (10/10): mango blended with coconut yogurt and vanilla pea protein. This was phenomenal and i am surprised it was not as popular as it should be considering it has protein and probiotics. The texture is thick and creamy, but the tartness from the mango and yogurt make it still feel light. WOULD I GO BACK? Yes! It is a nice hangout spot with a decent menu of drinks and food.
