But they also LOVE their regulars, kids and pups alike, and make sure the delivery guys get a warm cup too. Prices fair for Brooklyn. Menu includes pastries, Bagelsmith bagels, hot chocolate, chai, tea, and matcha. Coffee is Counter Culture. There are seats for about 25-30 people and most tables have outlets. Lighting is a little dim and moody. They are more laptop friendly than other shops in the area and have free wifi. Note that you have to climb stairs to get into the shop, so it's not ADA or stroller friendly.

The coffee here is more simplistic, but that's because the flavor is in the bean itself, not in all the sugary additives that you get at most cafes. This is more for the purists, and I love that. Funny enough, I can't drink a ton of caffeine as I'm sensitive, but their decaf espresso had a ton of depth. It made me actually enjoy sipping and savoring. The sparkling water that comes along side your drink wakes up the senses in between sips, and I found that oddly refreshing. It made each sip taste like the first. Aaron and the other staff were super friendly too. I enjoyed sipping and reading during my stay. It made for the perfect recharge. Hope this helps!

As someone who lived in Bushwick and remembers the distinct problem of coffee shops having zero…read moreseating at any time of day, I can really get behind the multi-room things they have going on here. There's the main seating area and then two offshoot lounges, which aren't quite as cozy but offer different levels of quiet and ambience. I love all the random décor, antique signs, old arcade games as tables, a million lamps. It's like what nook is going for but you can actually sit down on a comfy couch most of the time. The guy working the counter has a lot of energy and clearly loves being there. The PB banana smoothie was yummy, very thick so could use a spoon. Mushroom toast was a bit pricey but you did get a lot of food for your money, the focaccia was crunchier than expected but all around a nice cafe bite. I just appreciate how this is such a gathering spot where you can watch bk life play out while working, it had a different energy from a lot of places in the area.

I got a beef curry bun, beef yakiniku roll, Kinpira (burdock root), sesame tuile cookie and a tiramisu coffee roll. Everything looked fresh and everything did taste good. The sesame cookie was delicious. I would definitely go back again if I'm in the area or try the other location in Manhattan.

Shucks I wanted to give this place five stars but it didn't start so well. The first barista who…read moretook my order was really great. I first ordered a chai latte and he said I could do two different syrups so I got the pumpkin and salted maple, though I was worried about it being too sugary so he suggested I could just do half a pump of each. He asked me what the name of the order would be and I said "Aida" (the phonetic spelling is ah-EE-dah). And then I heard the other barista say something along the lines of, "oh Aida, how about 'Aida' rather not be here", pretty rude if you ask me. And then I ordered the spicy nook sandwich. And when another server called my named to grab it she didn't even knowledge me when I tried to thank her and instead she talked to her coworker while I was right in front of her. The sandwich was really good, so was my chai tea. I really like the pumpkin and salt and maple syrups too. I did like all the options for seating although it was pretty packed. I'd say if you have a big party get there early. By 7pm the whole place was filled. There was a huge majong club that came in and took the whole back area, it was so crammed there were lines for the bathroom. Over all I had a good time. I really like the music too just know it gets very busy in there. The employees I would say were hit or miss. The ones that were great though I really liked. Just seem like the ones who didn't really give attention to customers or were kind of rude seemed like they didn't wanna be there.
