The coffee was okay, but nothing special. Unfortunately, the customer service was terrible. We…read morepurchased coffee there, but I was finishing an ice cream from Ben & Jerry's (they also sell coffee). We were told it was "company policy" that I couldn't sit at a two-person table because I had outside food--even though we had bought a drink from the café, no one was waiting for a table, and there was also an empty table. The policy itself is one thing, but the way it was enforced was unnecessary and unfriendly. The staff came across as rude, and the entire experience left a bad impression. Based on the poor customer service, I won't be returning.

Got there around 1 PM on a weekday, they were just starting to run out with some items. The pastries were very fresh & delicious in a comforting way. Got a Cardamom Bun (mild flavor, with light layer of apricot jam in the layers) & the Sacher Torte (Excellent! Austrian hazelnut flour torte, raspberry jam). I'm not familiar with a lot of the items & wish they were labeled. Would have ordered more. The cafe was *very crowded & kind of loud. The ambiance didn't seem enjoyable compared to the calm UWS streets. The outdoor tables looked calmer even though a short line blocked the front of it. There's only a line because the counter is close to the front door and little space to wait. The 2-3 counter staff was very nice & patiently answered questions (labeled & priced pastries - with ingredients/nut disclaimer still would have helped & move the line along) . Took the treats to the community garden on the corner. Keep exploring NYC y'all!

Yummmmmmmm. Spinach…read morefeta pastry. Perfectly hefty amount of spinach with flaky dough. Hit the spot. Cherry danish. The bread itself was soft and pillowy and the cherrys were sweet and tart. Baklava. Stacked TALL. Not many layers but each nut layer was 1inch thick. If you're looking for crispy multi layered baklava, this ain't it. If you're looking for nutty goodness, this is. Did takeout, so can't say for ambiance or service. Lots of tables free at 9 on a Sunday but the line was out the door.

I wish they had some more non-sugar, non-milk drinks - like just plain herbal tea etc - but you can't have everything. But there are always some issues. They're always out of napkins; the bathroom lock situation is tenuous; the hand dryer is broken (and there are no towels); and so on. If this place was better at maintaining a comfortable environment, it would be amazing. I hope it gets better at the basics of running a coffee shop, but I'm on the search for other places nearby.

There's maybe 3 tables for 2 people each, and a small bar seating area for about 4 people. Not good for more than about 12 people to hang out in total. The staff is pretty fast and the kiosks make things run quicker too. Downside is that they do charge $.25 for a cup of water. I don't really like their signature milk tea, but their grape slush is pretty good. Everything is about $7-10, so expect to pay a bit more for your drinks.
