Love this place. Great prices for such tasty food!! Very tiny and quaint inside very unsuspecting. Great for quick bites. The service was excellent! I'd definitely recommend.

I am obsessed with this place!! The iced matcha with oat milk is one of my favorites in the city and I have been to so so many cafes and tried so many different matchas. The onigiri and the seaweed wrap are also quite yummy, made with gluten free rice! The last thing I got was a side of the tofu salad which also was so delicious. The menu rotates out and is run by one woman who is so sweet! It's far from me but I will definitely be back for more matcha and to try the breakfast options.

Went here for the first time today and loved it. While it's no-frills, it's actually so pleasant and cozy inside - I wish I would have stayed and eaten there instead of taking my order to go. The matcha latte was one of the best I've had and the food was fresh, filling, and delicious. I only had to wait a few minutes for my order, and it was all in all a pleasant experience. I'll definitely be back!

The pickled daikon wrap. So freaking good.

Cute spot in Greenpoint with incredibly sweet and kind service. Not to mention delicious!

Was early for a meeting nearby when this cute cafe caught my eye with its cheery yellow exterior. You have to be patient to order because only one customer is allowed inside at a time. The owner is very sweet and friendly ; she is the only one taking orders and packing up your order. Credit card are accept with $10 minimum. I tried the Spicy Tuna Poke - which was featured on the menu written out on post its. It's healthy comfort food - spicy tuna poke, avocado chunks, arugula over a bed of rice seasoned with fresh ginger and pickled daikon - but simple and delicious. It reminded me of the snack / light lunch that I used to have in Hawaii. I really appreciated how thoughtfully composed the rice was for taste and textures and was not just a plain blob of filler rice. What a find! And a pleasant surprise to find a little bit of Hawaii here in Greenpoint.

This is a very authentic Japanese cafe and I'm all about it. Happened upon a recommendation to follow their Instagram for daily specials! I walk by this place every day on my dog walk and so glad I finally tried it. First thought... The prices are very reasonable. Paid $6.75 for the poke bowl, $4.00 for for rice ball and $5.00 for the avocado bowl. We were worried the portions were going to be small, but everything was very filling! The rice is super yummy and has beans/different grain types. I will definitely mix things up a bit next time and try a salad or soup, because everything we got was pretty rice heavy. Overall, definitely loved it and will continue to try things on the menu!

Salmon avocado bowl with tofu mushroom salad on the side

Adorable little Japanese cafe with comfort food and excellent prices! Aptly named for its location between ash and box street. It's currently delivery only which wasn't an issue as we took our lunch to the park nearby. Excellent quality food and quite filling! I got the salmon avocado bowl with a tofu mushroom salad on the side.

Delicious, vegan friendly restaurant with Asian inspired fare. The woman who runs it is an amazing cook who also works as a personal chef for the uber-rich. There are no keto options on the menu, but they were very accommodating and adapted their turkey egg brunch item to not include any fruit or rice so it was keto friendly. They have a large assortment of teas, including matcha, as well as a fridge full of fruit and vegetable juices for the health conscious, which seems to be the target market here, everything is very healthy.

A comfy spot to eat; wonderful selection of teas. The miso soup was delicious as was the avocado and mushroom spring salad. Delightful.

Wanted to write this review based on the wheelchair accessibility and laptop areas…read more There are coffee shops in the neighborhood with laptop rules that say you have to sit at the high tables. Obviously as a wheelchair user, I cannot sit at the high tables, and when I have asked the staff for understanding, other places have denied me. Ines let me use my laptop at a wheelchair accessible table without any fuss. Mark was very gracious. When I asked, he said, "we will make an exception." I felt heard without advocating for common sense and I greatly appreciate the humility. Thank you!

The place is cute and small. They have good happy hour prices on wine. The food we tried wasn't…read moreso great. My friend had been here before and raved about the escargot and meatballs. The escargot was covered with pesto that tasted like the basil wasn't fresh. Also, I'm sure there was plenty of garlic because the restaurant smelled like it, but I would have liked more garlic in this dish. The meatballs were mostly bread (there may have been some meat). After we complained, the item was removed from our bill by our friendly, polite, and conscientious server. Note: This is a French restaurant, but they didn't have any butter for the bread.

Absolutely incredible pasta from this easy-to-miss UES spot! To start - the Strawberry Fields…read morecocktail is honestly one of the best drinks I've had in a while: the perfect mix of strong and not too sweet. The 2 of us split 3 pastas: the Truffle Gnocchi (my favorite item of the evening), the Cacio e Pepe (one of the best renditions of this dish I've had!) and the Rigatoni Alla Diavola. I would skip the focaccia if I came back - loved the butter but it was nothing special. 10/10!

This cafe/restaurant is super cute! During the day it functions more like a coffee shop/ cafe and…read morethen it turns into a bar/restaurant in the evening. I really liked the green and gold color scheme decor. The place is visually very attractive! Even the bathroom matched the elegant warm decor. We had a reservation for 7:30 and unfortunately I was late but they were able to seat us with no issues. The hostess was very welcoming and friendly. Our server however seemed distracted and quite frankly uninterested during our entire meal. We only saw him when he took our order and then later when he brought the check. There was no checking in to see if we enjoyed the food or needed anything. Thankfully the other waitress came by and refilled our water glasses. We were there until around 9pm and then it seemed as though they were getting ready to close as you could smell the cleaning products. Perhaps that was the reason our server was MIA as he just wanted us to leave so they could close as soon as possible. The food was good but the overall dining experience was not very enjoyable.
