((3.25 stars)) the…read morecoffee is just fine. yes, they are a specialty multi-roaster coffee shop, so prices, here, are higher in general than your typical coffee shop. but for all the hype and acclaim for Bazu by Superwow as being a premium Japanese coffee experience--it's just a place for solid coffee options. it's located in the lobby of the NYC HypeBeast office. the interior is limited in size because it is basically a minimalist styled lobby with a coffee bar and some seating--no bathroom. everything is neat, clean, and organized but feels a bit cold / no personality. there's a nice display of the coffee beans and info about each roast on the bar counter, beyond that SuperWow is kinda ho-hum. stopped for coffee here, twice. the first time, the barista had two friends at the bar and were chatting with them. no problem, there, but i had some q's about the coffee etc. since it's a specialty shop. but the replies seemed polite but minimal and kinda impersonal in tone because the barista had friends there. ordered a Americano and it was fine, but would have left with a better impression if the staff here were a little bit more genuine than seemingly being politely bothered bc i ordered a coffee and had some q's which was interrupting their convo with friends. wanted to give this place a second shot, so i so stopped here for a cold brew...figuiring it would be a quick visit on a summer day. ordered. a different barista than my first visit started by cold brew by pouring ice in a cup then stopped making it to engage with another customer with questions who wasn't even ordering yet. 5ish minutes later my cup of ice sat empty and then the barista came back to it to just pour some cold brew from the fridge into the cup of ice. why didn't the barista finish making my drink before taking a bunch of questions from another customer and actually came around the bar to answer them? i don't fucking know. strange and dumb behavior as i already paid and tipped. but some unironically doofus in a Hawaiian shirt had q's and to whom i actually said: "go ahead and order" before i ordered bc i was still deciding and then said doofus replied that he was still deciding, too, but then decided to try an engage in a conversation with the barista after i ordered. self-awareness is really sorta dead lol. anyway long story short--the barista decided to spend time answering the doofus's q's instead of taking ten seconds to complete pouring the cold brew into a cup of ice. 5ish minutes later or so, my cold brew was finally filled to the top and lidded. while i appreciate that they don't skimp on the cold brew. it was filled to the point where it spilled over the coffee bar as soon as opened the cold brew to stir in some sugar. i mopped some of the spill up and then let the barista clean up the rest bc at this point I was annoyed. the cold brew? just fine, nothing special. it ended up being a $7 or $8 (with tip) cold brew to be somewhat annoyed and i left with a better-than-mid drink. also it would have been nice if the barista had topped off the cold brew since some of spilled out bc of my trying to add sugar and it being filled to the tippy-top. *sight* nope that didn't happen. this place relies on a reputation of its other locations which are probably stellar and live up to the "hype." but this place is just up-priced coffee that really isn't premium service. if you read this entire review and still end up here for a coffee, you are likely a fool and a hype-chasing simpleton. lol. anyway this Bazu location is more style over substance--not a surplice since it is ironically in the HypeBeast headquarters. beyond that, the service isn't really genuine or very sensible. welcome to what is plaguing 2026 NYC: the barely-above-averageness takeover. oh well.

It's smooth and does not feel cloying. Their seasonal specials alone are enough to draw me in and want to come back: blueberry sage matcha, a warm spiced latte perfect for the long winter we continue to be trapped in. The inside is a really gorgeous forest green with jet black furniture. It's inviting, with four two-seater tables, a couch in the back, and a high top with stools. WiFi password is on the menu.

They have coffee, and even some yummy pastries, too, like muffins and croissants - I absolutely loved their plain croissant, as it was warm, flaky, and buttery! Both chai and the matcha were very mediocre, which was disappointing. There was only one staff member, so there was a bit of a wait; she could have communicated better, as patrons were confused on whether to pay first, or to pay afterwards, as some parties were allowed to sit and enjoy their items first, and some parties were snapped at to pay up first - just weird and uncomfortable, and not sure what criteria was being used for this. Space is adorable with about 10 seats inside, and some seats available outdoors. +great warm croissants +avoid their drinks +indoor and outdoor seating available

Montemug: For the Coffee Enthusiasts…read more Stopped into Montemug and ordered the Kotor Café (inspired by the Montenegro region). It had a bold, rich profile but was incredibly smooth--easily one of the more memorable cups I've had in Brooklyn. The space itself is bright and welcoming, and the staff were warm and attentive. You can tell the owners (Evan and his wife) really care about what they're doing. If you're into thoughtfully crafted coffee, Montemug should definitely be on your list. I'll be back soon.

For a hot day, I really enjoy their iced summer Americano. The lemon tartness complements the coffee for an overall balanced drink. SEATING AND AMBIANCE: There was no AC on when I was there, which wasn't much of an issue with the doors open. Several 2-seat tables, more secluded elevated nook, and communal seating. The space is designed around a feeling of calm: dark woods and white break and a touch of greenery to bring life to the open space.

Though I wish the baristas told me before I ordered that it was pretty tart and an acquired taste. I am sure I could have had something else if I really did not like it. I had a few sips and then could not finish it. The lattes looked good if I am ever back in the area I probably would go with this. This coffee shop is spacious but seems that it fills up quick with some seats all were taken when I was there. There is also no public restroom. Baristas were fine didn't really greet when I walked in just stood there and asked what I wanted. They were nice after I got my drink though.

The owner is super nice and has the best recs for you if you're unsure of what to get. It's a smaller space, with two tables but I'll definitely come back to dine in! Drinks: So far I've tried their pandan matcha latte, ube latte and strawberry matcha latte. All their drinks are AMAZING and the Asian inspired flavors pairs nicely with the drink bases. They source their coffee beans right from NYC and you can taste the quality. The stars of the menu are their fusion flavored small bites: The scallion pao de queijos are the best on the go cheesy snack and have this addicting mochi/chewy like texture. Their joelho, a Brazilian savory pastry stuffed with ham and cheese, pairs perfectly with their homemade spicy chili oil. You definitely have to try it with the sauce!! Lastly, I had their ube pudim which is by far my favorite menu item! The pudim has a creamy texture, almost like a richer flan, and the ube isn't overly sweet. If I could only recommend one thing, it would be this!
