    Red Bear Coffee & Bakery is a small cozy addition to the East Village. the coffee shop has several tables and seats in a bright welcoming interior. while it's a fairly cozy space and doesn't feel cramped or cluttered. very well maintained and clean. of course, the magic happens at the coffee bar where a menu of coffee centric drinks are served along with offerings of sweet bakery items as well as savory items like simple sandwiches and such. stopped here twice so far--tried the drip coffee which was solidly good and worked well when you're in a rush. also got an Americano coffee on the second visit. my Americano was really good--smooth medium roast coffee served hot and a great coffee taste. there are another of bakery items on display--still regret not getting a big cookie that i eyed. the service is very friendly and attentive. if you're looking for a place to get a cup of coffee or a small bite to eat then Red Beard has you covered. plus they offer wifi if you need to sit and work or study.

    I love this spot on 1st Ave. They always play great music and the food and drinks are delicious- I mean did you see the avocado toast with the flower? And it's so delicious. This is a great spot to bring a laptop and get work done and enjoy the amazing food and drinks- 5 stars

    Some Cheesecake like Cake . Very Good !

    I usually just try to focus on food when writing about restaurants but I encountered one of the weirdest and rudest workers ever on my first visit here. From the moment I entered the restaurant the guy with the long ish hair in a ponytail gave me a look like I was entering a KKK meeting . It was bewildering , so I said hi to break the ice . He then nodded all while sporting a disgusted look and proceeded to go behind the counter to assist . I asked him about a pastry as it was my first time having Turkish pastries while being extremely mindful of my tone and tact . He seemed to get even more perplexed and bothered at my inquiring about the pastry. During this uncomfortable time , two customers entered . I was immediately skipped over them by the strange worker without a "one second" or "hold on " or any other polite phrase . Another worker , ( polite female) came over and assisted him in getting the new entrants their pastries ahead of me . No problem, I took it on the chin and looked at it as an opportunity to practice patience . Now, after getting rid of the other customers , it was now again my turn to continue ordering . They were both now just dealing with me . I asked a couple more questions while the girl now is taking charge realizing the awkwardness of the situation. The weird guy now relegates himself to just holding the bag open to place the pastries . I must have asked about 3 pastries before this guy , while holding the bag proceeds to react like a petulant child. He storms towards the back again sporting a disgusted and bothered look . Now , all doubt was eliminated . This guy was either a definitive weirdo or maybe didn't like people like myself . I proceeded to ask a couple more questions to the sweet lady before choosing a couple things . I even asked her if everything was ok with him . She tries to cover for him by saying, "he has a headache." Still standing now 15 feet or so away and sensing he might have messed up he proceeded to come back in the fray in the last moments and put my stuff in a bag for me to leave . This was truly one of the most uncomfortable and just downright ridiculous first time encounters in a food setting I've ever faced . Despite having what I think are quality pastries that seem to be even on the more "healthy" side, this encounter has really soured me on ever returning . I hate to think it was because of how I look I got this treatment but the signs points towards that .

    Red beard coffee was amazing! I left full of great energy and truly emotional. The server was friendly and informative. He was accommodating as far as my request. The ambiance is cozy and fun small place but there's indoor and outdoor seating. The Turkish coffee was phenomenal and the baklava shake was delicious. After enjoying my coffee I got a reading which was hands down the most emotional experience I've ever had with coffee! You have to come to this place

    I visited this place with a friend because we were intrigued by the desserts on display. The one that caught my attention the most was a pistachio-filled croissant roll with baklava, and it turned out to be one of the best desserts I've ever had. The place itself is cozy, and the service was fantastic. If you visit, you must try the croissant roll--you won't regret it!

    Had a chance to try a wide variety of the menu here and Red Beard Coffee did not disappoint! The Turkish Coffee and Mocha were phenomenal as well as the Avocado Toast and Salmon Lox Bagel. Staff was incredibly friendly and made sure all the customers in the store were accommodated for. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quiet place to do some work while enjoying a little treat! Also, they provide a 20% discount for Pace Students!

    (Blueberry muffin was already demolished by this point)

    Went here with my sister when she was in town and we both LOVED this cafe. Amazing atmosphere and some of the nicest staff. Food and drinks were great too. We got their paris tea, avo toast, green juice, blueberry muffin, and fig tart. All of it was delicious. Definitely will be visiting again!

    I've had Ten Thousand Coffee on my to-go list for the LONGEST. I finally went for the first time…read moreand there were so many drinks I wanted to try so I ended up buying 3. 1. The Jeju Green Tangerine Matcha honestly just tastes like a tangerine selter drink but in the best way, because I don't typically enjoy seltzer or carbonated beverages. I really enjoy the flavor and the carbonation isn't too strong, probably because I brought it home to drink. I don't really taste the matcha but I would definitely still order this again. 2. Matcha Einspanner. This is my first time having an Einspanner so I have no idea what I was expecting but this is DELICIOUS. It's so silky and smooth and the TASTE is just right up my alley. The matcha is light but you can still taste it. Absolutely, would drink this all the time if I could. 3. Purple Sweet Potato Latte. This. This. Omg, why haven't I tried this sooner?! The first sip and initial taste, I almost tasted nothing, just milk. And then all of a sudden, there's an explosion of flavor in your mouth. As a sweet potato lover, I was in heaven. I have absolutely no words for this drink, just try it. 100/10 recommend. This is probably my favorite one out of the 3 that I bought. I went around ... 2:45PM on a Friday and most of the seats were taken, if I remember correctly. There were a decent amount of seats and the space was decent. I liked the minimal aesthetic they had for the design of the interior. Not to forget, the staff at the register was absolutely wonderful, she answered all my questions, she's so sweet. I think I'm disappointed that I haven't tried this place sooner. Y'all get out of your comfort zone and try the Purple Sweet Potato Latte !! Or if not, just try this place out. I will definitely be recommending the Purple Sweet Potato Latte to all my family and friends.

I ordered an iced matcha einspanner ($6.95) with oat milk ($0.75) and loved that it already comes with a shot of espresso, so it was essentially a dirty matcha einspanner. I tried each layer on its own before mixing everything together and it was all really good. The matcha cream is the right amount of sweet and creamy and you can taste the matcha with just a hint of coffee. Since I'm a coffee fiend I added a bit more espresso when I got back to the hotel and it tasted even better while still keeping the matcha as the dominant flavor. Next time I would ask for less ice since it was freezing that morning, but on a warmer day the ice level would be perfect. Would love to come back to try their other drinks or order the einspanner again as a hot drink.

There is some counter space, but mainly for standing purposes. I ordered a standard Iced Matcha Latte with Oat Milk ($7.35) and my friend got her usual Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte ($8). Docking 1/2 point bc the matcha is pre-made. I'm a fan of the whisking process bc I do believe there's a craft to matcha overall. Surprisingly, my drink tasted fine and my bev was a good color, so I was pleasantly happy. We waited less than 10 min for a table to open up, but you have to be there at the right time, otherwise you prob just grab your drink + go. Overall, glad I tried Kijitora. It's not my first matcha choice, but it was decent for a standard matcha latte. Their specialty matcha drinks look to have mixed reviews, but I'm personally not a fan of sweet drinks.

    I came here today to experience local matcha from Kijitora, a local matcha place that was all about…read morecats! Everything was cat They had a lot of merchandise dedicated to cats! The tote bags were so cute but they were kind of pricey in my opinion. A standard beige Kijitora bag was priced for $30 each! They had several designs for sale. I was just busy checking out the cool cat merchandise while I was waiting in the long line to purchase the matcha drinks. The line was exceptionally long! It was worth the hype though! When I was my turn, I got an iced strawberry matcha latte and an iced mango matcha latte. It was so pretty when I got them. The mango and strawberry paste were sitting at the bottom of the matcha latte. I had to stir and mix the fruits with the whole drink. Surprisingly it was not sweet at all and was just right! They made it in a way that wanted you to crave more of it. It was very addicting. I did not get onigiris this time but will be sure to get some next time I'm here. They were just $4 each for miso salmon, tuna mayo, mentaiko cod roe, sukiyaki beef, and chashu pork. What a decent price for one onigiri! I would definitely be sure to get the miso salmon next time I'm here. The place was very cute with nice little tables for individuals. The place was very cozy with lots of sunlight coming in. Very modern with plants all around. It was so loud with people talking over each other. There were too many people on a Sunday afternoon so I had to walk around or cut through people to get my way. It was that crowded. I also didn't expect this place to be on the second floor and the stairs to be that steep. It was hectic carrying my stroller upstairs. Luckily someone helped me get down! The stairs are very narrow so I had to hold onto the rail. It was not ergonomically friendly at all.

I've worked in restaurants and bars long enough to understand that staff drinking happens, but this was on another level entirely. I came in with a group of friends and one of the bartenders, Will, was so visibly drunk that it made the entire experience uncomfortable. Slurred speech, wobbling behind the bar, taking orders while chewing food with his mouth open -- it was honestly embarrassing to watch. He looked like he absolutely did not want to be there. At one point, my group had been trying to get his attention for another round for quite a while while he stood around talking with coworkers. We then watched staff take a shot together, and when he finally came over he burped mid-conversation and literally had whatever he had just been drinking dribbling down his neckbeard. That was the moment where the whole thing went from unprofessional to just gross. What made it worse was that it didn't seem isolated to one employee. Throughout the night we watched staff openly taking shots and drinking behind the bar like it was a house party instead of a business. There's a difference between bar culture and complete lack of professionalism, and this crossed that line hard. One of the friends I was with actually frequents the DUMBO location and said that the last time she was there, the same bartender also seemed intoxicated, which makes this feel less like a bad night and more like an ongoing issue. The DUMBO location itself is in an amazing spot, which makes it even more disappointing. But ownership seriously needs to get control of what's going on there before someone gets hurt or the place develops a reputation for having drunk staff on the clock. Unfortunately, the experience was uncomfortable enough that my girlfriends and I won't be coming back. I genuinely hope the employee mentioned gets help if this is a regular thing, because nobody should be working service in that condition.
