    Nice relaxing coffee shop. Friendly staff. Good coffee !!! Very clean also. They do have some craft beers too

    Great place to come and study for a few hours, drink was ok, croissant was tasty, service was fast. I got a good chunk of one of my school assignments done and had a nice interaction with a fellow customer. The chair I sat in by the door made me feel like a supervillain.

    Stopped by this cafe today for a quick coffee. I ordered an iced oat milk latte and honestly wasn't that impressed. It tasted sour and didn't compare to coffee I've gotten at other hungry ghost cafes. But hey given the other reviews this may just be a one time thing. One pro is that I did notice they have nitro brew and kombucha on tap! The place is clean and minimalistic, although my latte even for a NYC cafe was a little expensive ($6.80)!

    Chocolate croissant was small but very yummy! The mocha latte was perfect!

    You get what you pay for. A (small) chocolate croissant and mocha latte cost almost $10 however they were perfectly delicious. The place is clean and orderly inside and the staff keeps things moving in a pleasant way.

    Perfect outdoor seating and great for people watching! - chocolate croissant is flaky and delicious - cappuccino- strong and just what I needed

    Clean store and great coffee. Very fast prep and serve. There's multiple HG locations. I definitely recommend this location.

    Pretty standard coffee shop. Good amount of seating in a fairly open space. I had a matcha latte (not bad, not great) as well as a really good olive oil loaf. Service was standard, quick and simple

    If I'm paying $6 for a 12oz of coffee can you please give me a greeting, smile, hello. For a bunch of people on cafine this was most depressing soul sucking place to visit. And apparently there's a trick to putting on the tops to your coffee. It took me 5 minutes to put the top on my coffee and a guy came over and said yeah. You need a degree for this! Oh and the coffee was not that good!

    Ordered a mocha latte. The space is small but cozy. They play music so it is a bit loud. They have chairs, tables and benches to work. The service is quite fast and the staff is polite!

    The salmon toast!

    The coffee is still good but I still feel like the staff hates me for existing. The drinks remain overpriced by about 50 cents.

    People have left some odd reviews of this place, including a one-star review for the restaurant…read moreapparently being highly politicized--a vibe I neither felt nor could visually identify within or without the establishment. I ordered a single burger and a Sudan spiced peanut butter latte, for ~$15! That's pretty inexpensive for New York City. I note this as some consider it overpriced. I suppose the food is fairly inexpensive, the lattes slightly higher than average. The "burger" comes wrapped in a homemade pita with diced cucumber, onion, and tomato, plus a few crispy, thick-cut fries and a yummy house sauce. It was a cool twist of the traditional burger and had a nice flavor. The sauce was like a slightly Mediterranean version of Big Mac sauce. The girl working as the barista and cashier was very nice and friendly. She had a nice presence and warm smile, made suggestions, and even gave a stranger free utensils when they popped on to ask. I think it's definitely worth checking out, and it's a good place for a cheap & simple meal that's still quirky and fun.

    I have wanted to try this spot for some time, and wound up a bit disappointed with what I tried…read more They feature a tahini cold brew, which features two things I love dearly, but instead of a rich cold brew it was overly sweet and icy--more like a slushie. Perhaps I should have anticipated that, or my mistake in ordering. I also ordered a Moroccan egg salad sandwich which was substantive but surprisingly bland--sparse with the advertised capers and pickled red onions to give it more punch. I've always loved the look of the spot and the vibe--funky decor, outside and indoor facing counters to order, with some outdoor seating for people watching on Dekalb or heading nearby Ft. Greene Park. I see they are renovating and rebranding a bit and adding some burger component. While I didn't love it, I'd definitely give it another shot.
