    Come close so I can whisper this in your ear because I don't want everyone to hear this; their bacon avocado sandwich is slapping and the caramel ice latte is one of the best I've ever had. This is my go to when I am close by and need my coffee fix. The service is on point even when they are busy. Also, they have a little space for eating. It's a no frills kind of place but with big flavors. I do recommend their coffee when you need that pick me up!

    Over 5 years as being a not-so-consistent customer, this place is still the BEST! They have been consistent with their Food quality, portion size, price, EXCEPTIONALLY FRIENDLY service! A true GEM worth climbing the hills of the (Hamilton) Heights to get to! As an omnivore, my favorite item is the black bean burger. With appreciation, Angela, Bed Stuy Brooklyn

    Matcha latte and avocado BLT
    Queena C.

    It's rare to get coffee for $2 in this economy. Small little corner across from city college. I ordered a matcha latte and avocado BLT. Matcha wasn't bad, good balance of matcha to milk. The sandwich was a little salty to my preference. My order came out to be under $15 Many people were saying the wait is long and it did feel like a long wait for a sandwich to go. Still, a cute spot to hit in the neighborhood for quick eats by the campus.

    Café One is definitely a gem I will return to. The coffee here was refreshing because as a Colombian Native it reminded me of our coffee. Perfectly blended and not too bitter. The staff was quick and the place was clean. I thought to get a muffin and I'm happy I did because it was moist and better than I expected. I hope to spend more time next time I stop by and recommend that if you're in the area you try it out 100%

    Had a pretty good lunch here recently. I ordered on seamless and picked it up and it looks like the prices are higher to order through that than in store. They were really busy and it took 30! mins for my food to be ready which I was pretty annoyed by. The inside is small and they have some outdoor seating. I ordered the Italian wrap and it was good. I've had it from here before and this time wasn't as good, honestly. I also tried the spicy beef sandwich with sauce on the side. It was good but entirely fell apart so it was hard to eat. Overall, I'd say the food was good but the wait was way too long for me. It looked like a lot of people were getting coffee and special drinks so maybe I'll try one instead next time.

    Pastrami-Turkey-Swiss sandwich

    This was my first time here. I'm visiting a friend that lives close and she goes here a lot. I got the pastrami, turkey, and Swiss panini. Honestly, it would have been better with pickles but it was really good. I got a side of bbq chips and to drink I got the iced chai with almond milk. Everything was so good but the chai is incredible! I'm very picky when it comes to my chai but this is one of the best I've ever had. There is one place in the town I live that keeps the #1 spot of all time but this is a VERY close second. I've tried dozens of chais so that is a pretty big statement from me. Get it and thank me later. 10/10 go here.

    A friend and I spent a couple of days in NYC and booked an AirBnb in this area. Upon our arrival, we were looking for a place to grab a quick breakfast and happened upon Cafe One. We enjoyed it so much that we ended up returning throughout our trip. The line to order on a Sunday morning was short and our food was prepared pretty quickly. I ordered an egg and cheese biscuit and severely underestimated how good it would be. It seemed tiny at first, but it was actually pretty filling. The biscuit was soft and buttery -- just how I like it! I also tried the banana bread and it was SO YUMMY! Moist and not too sweet! There is indoor dining and an enclosed outdoor seating area. We sat in both areas throughout our trip and both were kept pretty clean.

    Consistently good coffee, bagels, muffins, and other pastries. Great variety of food including vegetarian & vegan. My favorite is the BLT.
