They had lots of machines and games to play. My son tried to win a prize but didn't he still had a lot of fun doing it. We will come back another day to really try the place out. The kids loved the ice cream. The service was very pleasant and very nice the staff members were very kind to us.

I've spent my stay-cation visiting cafés to evaluate for coffee, vibe, and work space. This place…read moreis an excellent spot: spacious with a large center communal table framed by individual two-person spots, friendly service, music that encourages a working mindset, and from what I see, food everyone enjoys. The problem? It's a sauna. Probably too close to 125 St train line to crack the door, the room is so hot! I almost didn't sit down, but wanted to give the place a try as I had been here during a winter weekend. The staff has one fan running from the back corner, but the lack of windows makes for an environment where everyone is productive and glistening. I've managed about 25 minutes to finish my coffee and get a breeze when someone enters but can't last much longer. AC must kick in at some point, and I'll come back

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.

You got clothing, accessories like house colored ties, socks and hair bows, wands, housewares, books, toys etc. There's also a small section for New York exclusives like t-shirts, mugs and socks. Design is black and gold with the words Harry Potter New York on it. I got a pair of socks for $8.00....not bad. For those who live near a Universal Studios, you will see some items here that they also sell in the theme parks. There's also a small cafe area for your pastries and drinks. My friend got a mini sized "happee birthdae harry" pink cake + pumpkin juice. I had a sip of the pumpkin juice and it tasted like thick consistency apple juice. It's not bad but it's not something I would personally order. When it comes to the food items, think novelty over quality. It's good for the 'gram, ya know? There's one single bathroom is located on the second level. Be sure to check out the Dark Arts/green Slytherin room. Plenty of photo ops in this store.

You…read moreare alerted in the instructions that the cats with collars tend to swipe, but their aggression seems to be towards their fellow cats. Just don't get caught in the cross fire! 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

Rupsi is the owner and she is so adorable; truly passionate about providing an artistic space that promotes good energy. I love that about her. Had the pleasure of meeting her during my visit. The highlight here is the coffee (of course). You need to try the Turkish coffee. I forgot what kind of latte I got here but it was great. The friend I went with got a chai and he loved it too. The design of the cafe is so intentional... the decor shows Rupsi's desire to have a space that radiates good vibes. I'm obsessed with the fact that she has in-house DJs playing to make your coffee trip a unique and pumped up one. I had to stop myself from spending lots of money here because the jewelry and accessories that she has in store are sooooooo cute lol.

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.

My friend ordered the Falafel Sandwich and a Irish Breakfast Tea. Besides the delicious food what else made this time at the Witches Brew extra special. Well it was our Waitress Sam. Sam was perfection from the start of the meal to the finish. She had the best vibes and attitude and wore the coolest looking Van's. Her customer service skills outshine many other waitstaff that I've encountered in the past month. Sam is another Great addition to the already amazing team the Witches Brew employs

It has good coffee, good food and is…read morevery relaxed not like a Starbucks or anything, but it has a relatively comfortable atmosphere with comfortable bench chairs and it's just a unique kind of interesting place without too many tourists because it's all the way over on 10th Ave. and hope they can stay in business, 10th Ave. in Hells Kitchen is not that heavily trafficked They are pretty friendly too, especially after you've been in a few times and the guys who make the egg and bagel sandwiches like I had today are also very friendly and accommodating. The only thing I would say was the bagel was like six out of 10 or seven out of 10 rating a little too soft even after a light toasting. But fresh. and they have a delicious pistachio croissant. Nice diverse crowd. Some tourists coming off Intrepid and Circle Line but mostly New Yorkers Check it out

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!

[Out-of-Towner Review]…read more Booksellers really make the experience. I rarely find myself in Brooklyn, so I had to make it a point to FINALLY making it to Cafe Con Libros. I came here after a lackluster, first visit to the Ripped Bodice. This experience made me not regret my book trip to Brooklyn. From the moment I walked in, the solo bookseller was the kindest human ever. She was genuine and authentically engaged with me, as I shopped the small store. She literally made the visit. I came in with a coffee, so I wasn't able to try the cafe part of their spot, but I want to come back to try it and many other reasons too. I appreciate that, despite having a smaller inventory, they are very selective and intentional about the authors they sell, which in turns means they support. Their merch is so dope! I have enough totes, but I HAD to snag one of theirs to commemorate my visit here! I left happier than when I arrived!
