    This has become one of our regular go to places for cappuccinos and lattes. Service is usually friendly. Owner is very nice. Wasn't crazy about the toast I had, but .... can't be perfect at everything. Slushies are delicious too. Great place to also hang out and chill with friends.

    Great local cafe with all the basics and some bonuses, like being dog friendly! Service is friendly and patient with changes on mind. Come here for the cozy local chairs and tables with bookcase and generally enough quiet or space to be able to think! If you don't see something you're thinking of on the menu, check the cooler to see if there's something there too. Glad they have some Gluten-free pastry and vegan items too.

    Stopped in for lunch with my daughter-in-law and had a great time. We found a table and tucked into a corner to catch up. I ordered a latte (fantastic) and a chicken salad sandwich. I had originally wanted tuna, but they were out and suggested the chicken salad and I was skeptical, but they were RIGHT ON! Servers are super friendly and there is even a small section in the back where local artists can sell their jewelry/body products.

    The staff, coffee, treats and overall vibe are all top notch. Five stars all around. One of my favorite places to grab a quick coffee, easy breakfast or just have a snack and read in their comfortable room. A big asset to our community and worth the trip is you're exploring the area from another neighborhood.

    Connected with my sister here a few times when we were both in New York. We grew up in Harlem and have been excited to explore some of the great places that have popped up over the years. The staff was great as was the coffee (I got an iced mocha and my sister had an iced latte). The shop had a laid back and chill vibe. I also had a sausage, egg and cheese croissant breakfast sandwich which was really good. This spot is a gem and I would highly recommend it.

    We stopped by to pick up a coffee and check this spot out. Walking in you are greeted by the owner who is very nice. The cafe is clean and bright. They also have WiFi. Coffee is great. I had a pecan sticky bun. Wasn't the best but I wasn't the worst. We will be back.

    Cafe is very cute and quiet to study! The music isn't loud at all, the baristas are super friendly, and there's a lot of space! If you're a student like me, then you'll appreciate the free wifi, outlets, and bathroom. Their loaded bagel was pretty good for a cafe and their lemonade is so tart and delicious! I will say, it is a bit on the pricier side, with the lemonade and bagel coming out to 16 dollars. Otherwise very nice cafe and I will be returning!

    Great coffee, tea, good food! The avocado toast was the bomb. The owner makes everything so personalized. Down to the decor and pillowed seats! How thoughtful!

    Love this spot. Been coming here for a good 4 years now or so since they opened. Owners and staff are friendly, down the street from the park and subway. They have some small goods for sale in the shop as well.

    Super cute coffee shop. Owner is very nice. Lots of people just hanging out working enjoying their cup of coffee. Had the toasted and roasted seasonal drink, which tasted like a toasted marshmallow and an oat milk lavender latte, which was scrumptious. Highly recommend stopping by!!

    Overnight Oats
    Gerardo V.

    I stopped by this place while visiting family, chasing their overnight oats. The oats were really good, and surprisingly affordable. The place was so cute I decided I'd eat my breakfast there. Well, I liked it so much I went home and brought my stuff to work remotely from Common Good. The next day I showed up again. Karina remembered me, quoted me my orders from the day before, and gave me a loyalty card. I felt comfortable in the shop, with funky r&b mixed with oldies and others. The cook behind the counter - whose name I didn't get - was also friendly but not intrusive, which I appreciated. Made it back today for day 3. Was sad not to see my dear friend Karina (we're besties now, basically), but my cook friend was there, along with two other staff members. I had my overnight oats for a third consecutive day, and tried the pumpkin spice latte, as well as the grilled cheese panini (add turkey), and a green tea lemonade. This place is fantastic. Sad to be leaving my hometown, especially after finding a new favorite place. Here's to convincing my husband we need to move back!

    Great coffee and snacks! Discovered this café recently as we have friends who live around the corner from them. Cute space. Though during the pandemic they pivoted to a bookshop/market of sorts. If you live in the neighborhood, do support them!

At this point, I barely look at the menu…read morebecause my order is set: the kale salad with grilled chicken, one guava waffle with guava rum butter, and a brown sugar latte. Yes, a kale salad and a guava waffle. Stay with me. The salad is fresh, savory, and hearty, especially with the grilled chicken. Then comes the waffle--warm, slightly sweet, and topped with guava rum butter that melts into every little pocket. Oh my goodness. Taking a bite of the savory chicken and kale, followed by that soft guava waffle, gives me the perfect sweet-and-savory meal. It should not work as beautifully as it does, but it absolutely does. And the brown sugar latte? Always. It's smooth, comforting, and sweet without tasting like someone poured syrup into a cup and called it coffee. The space has the easy, unhurried feeling of a neighborhood coffee shop, but the menu is giving a real brunch experience. It's cozy and beautifully lit during the day--the kind of place where you can settle in and enjoy yourself without feeling rushed. The service matches that energy. Everyone is attentive, kind, and genuinely knows the menu. They always greet you with a smile and give you exactly the right amount of small talk: enough to make you feel welcomed, never so much that it interrupts your peace. The atmosphere, the people, and that guava rum butter keeps me coming back.

I ordered a vegan pizza with some toppings but wanted pepperoni and that wasn't an option. I made a note asking if a substitution was possible, knowing it likely wasn't because of a price difference. I'm not vegan, but I needed a dairy-free alternative since I am breastfeeding a baby with a cow milk protein intolerance. The LOADED up my pizza. Truly stand-up humans.

    Dutch Baby is one of my favorite spots in NYC. This bakery is fantastic and such a nice space to…read morevisit. The food is fresh (unlike some 'bakeries' everything here is baked on the premises), so there's always something delicious to try: scones, special breads (their pumpkin bread is incredible in Autumn), cakes or pies--the pies in particular often need to be specially ordered, but it's worth it--they're my favorite in the city! (Plus the bakery's owners opened the charming Fountain Bookshop just down the block, which also serves amazing ice cream.) The service is just as nice as the baked goods: staff are approachable, friendly, hardworking and kind-- even when its very busy, they never seem stiff or shut down w/overwork like staff at chain/corporate-owned restaurants can be (they also seem to appreciate a genuine thank you from customers). I've never received or even witnessed poor service there. While the baked goods are the main draw, the cafe has a full menu and the space itself is warm & open: a smaller dining area tucked on one side, a large space in the center filled with tables, and a generous bank of stools at the large glass storefront for work or study, plus a few self-service tables on the sidewalk. Dutch Baby is a space clearly beloved by its neighbors--while popular with families and childcare workers w/their charges after school, it never gets too raucous. There's floor space for both wheelchairs and strollers (while the main entry has a few shallow steps, a second door in the middle of the cafe provides accessible entry for those using wheelchairs). It's really a truly lovely spot!

After a very, very, very long wait with no visit from the server or attention from anyone, our dishes finally came out. The food was cold and bland, and my husband's dish had a large black human hair. It was nauseating. Our brunch was ruined. A neighborhood place we have thought of stopping by for a while. We will never stop by again. The card shop next-door was cute and well worth the trip. The food not so much.

The service from both the chef and the bartender was warm, welcoming, and genuine. The ambience is quaint and inviting. I actually changed my mind last minute and chose this spot over two other restaurants I was considering--and I'm so glad I did. The food and the rum punch were so good that we drove back from New Jersey the very next night just to try more from the menu. The oxtails, curry chicken, and brown stew fish were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. The rice and peas were flavorful and cooked to perfection. When we dined in, every patron who walked in ended up joining in conversation like we'd all known each other for years. The energy, the vibes, and the bartender made my entire night. This is the first time I've ever walked out of a bar alongside both the staff and the patrons.
