I love supporting mom and pop type businesses--especially cafes--but something is missing in here…read more The pastries are tasty... but the drinks are a hit-or-miss. One day, I can ask for a hot chai and it'll be the BEST chai I've ever had in my ENTIRE LIFE. Itll taste so good, I'll even overlook the fact that it was $8. The next day, I'll get the same chai but instead of delicious, it's lukewarm, flavorless, milky, and just mediocre. Can we please have some consistency... I mean, my family has been supporting this spot for years. We can all agree that it's a nice spot. But, you can just tell who the barista was on certain days. There's this woman, who genuinely has NO sense of urgency Whatsoever. This past summer, there was a line of people (including myself) waiting in line to order. Instead of her actually taking peoples orders at the register, this woman decided she was going to have a full blown conversation with the lady who was ordering. My point is: I need more urgency. I need better music because taylor swift and Sabrina carpenter ain't it. I need CONSISTENCY in my chais. I want more wall art in the back area, because it's too mundane. Please do take what I am saying with a grain of salt and seriously. I want this to be the best spot for a chai in BK!!!

The outdoor dining was SO cute and it was sunny so I took advantage. I went inside, the girl behind the counter greeted me & told me to scan the menu! I got a regular iced latte oat milk, while my friend got their lavender latte! Both delicious! We enjoyed it "to stay". I noticed there was a rush after us and she was the only one working so they might be understaffed but she was quick! A lot of the drink options looked amazing, like the turmeric latte & then I noticed they had a breakfast menu & pastries towards the side. The coconut yogurt is calling my name -- which I will def be trying when I come back!

Thank you, Syd, for encouraging me to get it. The way you described it made me want to try it. I haven't finished tasting everything yet. I'll definitely be back. We came while they were closed so we waited until they opened back up. It was so worth the wait.

I apparently missed the sticky toffee banana bread because by the time I got there it was already gone. I decided on a chocolate chip cookie and the brown butter Rice Krispie treat. The line was a little long but it moved pretty fast. I ate a little of the Rice Krispie treat, it was pretty awesome, full of specks of vanilla bean and tons of marshmallows in it. I definitely will stop by again soon to try the ice cream.

There are a plethora of options to eat, which include both baked goods and pastries typical of a cafe but also food options available as well.

This is a great spot for work and chill.

She enjoyed a coffee which is one of her favorites in the city. This space has breakfast, lunch and dinner available and the staff is always friendly. Excited to keep coming back and trying more of their menu!

The Yerba mate didn't have much of a taste. The Yerba mate you get from the super markets, actually tastes way better. The grilled cheese sandwich was ok, nothing special. It was $7, and you can make the same grilled cheese at home that costs $3-$4 to make. The decor/ambience of the store felt like a flea market, with a bunch of random and eclectic furniture thrown in together. The art was funky, with a lot of color and animals on it. The place had a bunch of punk rocker type customers in it. This place didn't really give me the "community feel" that it was going for. The customer service was ok, the guy who served me was mediocre. It wasn't the best or the worst. It's located in a quiet residential area, about a 10 minute walk from the train station.

I asked if they served breakfast and ordered mangu, two cheese, two eggs, salami, and an orange juice. Total came out to $20, which is insane. Every other Dominican spot charges $12-$14 max for the exact same plate. Charging Manhattan prices in a low-income neighborhood right by the projects is wild, and honestly feels like a straight rip-off. And for that price, the food didn't even deliver. The mangu was slimy and watery, the quality was nowhere near what it should be, and nothing about the meal matched the cost. Between the terrible service, the attitude, and the ridiculous overpricing, I won't be coming back--and I don't recommend anyone else waste their money here either.
