I searched the area for food and this came up. When I got off the train it was conveniently right across the street and very inviting. I was greeted warmly and ordered the hot veggie wrap and theor bottled Ginger juice. They have a very intimate yet spacious space. I sat amd waiting for my order. They do have a small pastry/muffin section, coffee options as well as very good looking lunch amd dinner options. The wrap was smaller than expected but it was so good. The ginger juice was delicious and very gingery. Next time, I will order cassava fries also, should I choose the wrap again if pressed for time. It's a really great vibe. I look forward to returning over and over again.

I've had the chicken yassa and it was so so delicious. I don't drink coffee too often, but when I need a pick me up, this coffee offered me a smooth energy, so I appreciated that. Some coffees make me jittery and feel on edge. The Moroccan mint tea is also great. The staff are very kind and accommodating. I love the atmosphere, and this is a safe place to visit again and again.

Such a cool experience for any Harry Potter fan!…read more The Harry Potter Shop was HUGE and honestly so much cooler than I expected. There was so much to look at and they had so many fun things throughout the shop. You could easily spend a good amount of time walking around and looking at everything. We also got some sweet treats while we were there. We tried the cake cup, which was yummy, although I expected it to be a little more moist. The Butterbeer was definitely my favorite though! It was so good and such a fun thing to try while visiting the shop. They even have a restroom, which was a nice bonus since we were already spending some time there. Even if you're not planning to buy anything, I think it's worth stopping in just for the experience. It really feels like you're stepping into the Harry Potter world and there are so many fun details to see. Definitely a fun NYC stop!

Aside from that, I don't think I've ever been to a cat cafe where the cats almost immediately warm up to you They just want some lovin' and attention. My boyfriend and I loved our time here. I fell in love with Meow Meow (as pictured here) and Skywalker seemed to favor my partner the most It was so sweet! The merch they have the front is quite adorable too! The only complaint is that despite being kept in the other room, the smell from the litter boxes is pretty potent. I have a cat at home and I understand it can be hard to upkeep... let alone the probably the 10+ cats they have here. But the smell was the only downside to our visit! We will definitely make it a point to visit this place again

They also have a little section where you can purchase jewelry, coasters and keychains just to name a few. There is some seating here to enjoy your coffee at. They have a few food items too, but I did not get food. I tried the Turkish coffee and an iced latte. The Iced latte was very milky. The Turkish coffee I really only got because it comes in a beautiful pot/cup. It is not something I would think I like but I was wrong. I liked it more than the Iced latte. I was shocked. Their cups they have here are cute as you can see in the pictures. It is a good vibes only place. If I am in the area I would deff come back and try out a different drink and give it another chance.

They have an impressive variety of teas, coffees, food and desserts. They also have plenty of vegan options. I ordered a custom-made iced brewed Jasmine Flower Green Tea/Passionfruit Papaya Combo, no sweetener of any kind. It was refreshing, and I could taste the floral and fruity notes. I also had a slice of Chocolate Pecan Pie, which was delightful. Both orders were to go. The manager (I forgot his name) was great and knowledgeable. He was the one who served me and told me that I could sit outside and enjoy my order at any of the small tables; but that there would be no waitstaff since I took my order to go. So I sat outside and enjoyed my order, people and vehicle watching. The downside is that this place is CASH ONLY, and it took about 20 minutes for my order to come out.

The sign caught my eye…read moredue to the design and it look really interesting inside once we entered, the decor is really nice and they had a bit of everything since it was a bakery cafe so we decided to try them out. They had quite the options when it came to either having like a lunch, breakfast, pastries along with coffee and lattes. We decided to go with chicken and waffles and classic breakfast of eggs, bacon, and potatoes. Everything was made fresh and didn't take long. Everything was good we enjoyed our breakfast and our shakes. I will definitely visit them again if I'm ever in the neighborhood to try their other menu options. Seems like a good chill out spot as well to eat at work or just read a book while you enjoy your food or drink.

It is rare to meet people with such a zest and excitement for people and music! The atmosphere is cozy and the music as well as food is always wonderful! The food is made in an extremely small kitchen but with great care so be patient! All the food is Made to Order so make sure to place your order early in the show. There is never a cover-charge for music which is nice. The music is also extremely varied depending on the night so you are sure to find something you like. It is nice to hear such awesome local musical talents! You always meet wonderful and friendly people and can really appreciate the feeling of being in a small intimate cafe. They generally will pass around a money box with donations that go towards the artists since they aren't paid-nice to contribute if you can! Art exhibits on the walls always rotate as well and are for sale which adds to the unique decor. Give it a shot-you won't be disappointed!

I also like how the special drinks are related to the authors featured in the store. Staff is very attentive and friendly. My only gripe (not a huge one) are the hours during the weekday being so short (as of now, the place closes at 2 PM.) I could only go there during my days off and even then I gotta plan early. Other than that, this is a great place to support. I will definitely continue to go there.

The vibe is chill, relaxed, and very neighborhood-friendly. Even when it's busy, it never feels overwhelming, and they're usually very accommodating with walk-ins. The service is also some of the best I've experienced in Harlem. My go-to is the roasted duck, which is consistently excellent. It's cooked medium to medium-rare and comes with mango, onions, vegetables, and greens. Easily one of my favorite dishes in the neighborhood. The drinks are great too. I recently had the Nas, their take on a Manhattan, and it was incredibly smooth--one of the best whiskey cocktails I've had in a while. Overall, 10/10. A hidden gem on Lenox between 119th and 120th and definitely one of the best spots in Harlem.

We both had Brussel Sprouts, good, but the bites without the sauce did taste like bland Brussel sprouts. I had the lamb ribs, very good. They do warn you before that the ribs have a bit of fat on them, I think in the context of NY restaurant week I'm happy to pay it but as a solo entree, the amount of fat vs meat would have annoyed me. My friend had the duck, she enjoyed it. But it is very much salad with a side of duck, I believe she had 6 pieces of duck (pictured) and then a mango, arugula and onion salad. Dessert was very good, but I do hope those are not the usual portion sizes and maybe they just served smaller for NY restaurant week. Which I really didn't mind as I was full from the entree and sprouts. Servers were really nice, this place seems to have its regulars and a nice garden sitting area towards the back. Would overall recommend
