Super cute cafe with amazing coffee!! I had the cappuccino and my husband had a red eye. Both were exceptional-- the beans are roasted to perfection. Really really delicious. I'd skip the avocado toast and stick to coffee and a baked good. The ambiance is cool-- the music and artwork are fire. It's small but a great place to come and chill. read more

The Boogie Down Grind - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bronx, New York

My friend and I came here after a photo shoot last Saturday. We were looking for a place nearby where we could relax and have a cold drink from being out in the scorching sun for several hours! We came here and we were greeted by the barista. There were a few customers in the shop lounging and sipping on their drinks. The space itself is small but very charming. There are a lot of artwork on the walls and I personally fell in love with the light fixture that hangs over the cash register. There's also an antique French Press in the corner of the shop that the barista gave us a little history on. My friend was interested in ordering an Arnold Palmer but the barista convinced him to order a Pink Lemonade instead. I think he was running low on iced tea if I'm not mistaken. My friend gave in and ordered a large Pink Lemonade and boy, was it HUGE! Grand total: $2.50!!! Yes, you read correctly! I tried some of his and it was nice and tart, the perfect drink to cool yourself down with. I ordered a large iced chai. I wanted to have it made with almond milk but the barista informed me that they were out. Instead of blantantly saying "No, we don't have any," he offered alternatives I could have instead such as oat, hemp or soy milk. I was curious about oat milk and he offered me a sample of it. Talk about customer service! The oat milk was better than I expected so I decided to give it a whirl! I got a large iced chai with oat milk and it was GOOD. I didn't need to add any additonal sugar or anything. It was perfectly balanced and the oat milk was a refreshing new addition that I wouldn't have imagined before my visit that day. My iced chai was $4 which in comparison to the cafes in Manhattan or Brooklyn is way cheaper and I ordered a large (keep that in mind!)! Overall, the quality of both the drinks we ordered and the service was superb. Every time I've come here, I've always had a pleasant experience. It is a bit of the way for me to get to from where I live in the Bronx but I don't mind traveling over here because I know that what I am getting is quality and I am supporting a local business which I love to do! If they ever have plans to expand, I hope that they will consider creating a location in the North Central part of the Bronx. A cafe like this would thrive there! read more

LOVE this Bronx cafe! The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The menu offers a variety of drinks but only small food options. Everything is well priced and a cute spot to sit and grab a drink. Loved their tea and some of the best lemonade. read more

The Boogie Down Grind - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bronx, New York

Saw signs all over my cousin's neighborhood for The Boogie Down Grind. Stopped in and everything became very chill. It is a very relaxing environment where you can read, work or just sip some tea and people watch! I enjoyed the banana chocolate muffin and peppermint tea. This will be a regular stop for me when ever I am in the neighborhood! read more

The Boogie Down Grind - Banana Chocolate Muffin and Peppermint Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bronx, New York

I don't have enough words to explain have fond I am of this place. I haven't lived in the Bronx in over 10 years. I try to get back my old neighborhood whenever I can. I'm also a serious Hip Hop head which sparked my interest to visit. I was very pleased. 1. The coffee & food is great. The only downside is trying not to consume too much. 2. The ambiance is nostalgic, artful, and educational. 3. This place is most comfortable. It feels like a living room. 4. Staff. Great staff. Very welcoming, and down to earth. The customers walk in and the conversations are natural like a family atmosphere. 5. They recognize and pay homage to our culture of Hip Hop. Most of all the Bronx needs this place. I remember nothing was in Hunts Point except the Point. This is what's needed. I will visit every time I'm back in the Bronx. read more

Best coffee shop in the Bronx. Good coffee, tea, and vibes. I have been here a few times now and it has never disappointed. The coffee is good. They have a variety of dairy free alternatives including, soy, almond, and oat milks. The tea is also good and high quality. The food options are limited but they have everything you could want in a coffee shop. They have pastries, donuts, and some hot paninis. They also serve alcohol and have a very cheap happy hour. read more

have been a consistent customer to this cafe for the last 4 years and I love everything that it stands for, it is truly an example of how to give back to a community this is in such a high need! Last week on Monday (7/11) I visited the cafe with a colleague who is also an avid customer and when we left she stated "I feel like I am always paying extra when she (the female shift manager or staff member who orders the inventory) makes my coffee. We both paid $7 + change for small iced lattes with flavor. Today I purchased the same iced latte with caramel for $5 + change. I am okay with paying $7 or $5 I would just like to pay the same price every time. The hours of the cafe show that they open at 7am. Wednesday Morning (7/13), I drove by the cafe at 7:07 am and the gates were down so I ordered coffee to my job. My next visit was Wednesday afternoon of the same day. It was a busy lunch hour, I waited about 15 minutes to order my iced latte all while being next online. I am aware of the food preparation taking a long time, as it is a small space. I left with my coffee 20 minutes later after waiting patiently even though I spent the majority of my break in the cafe, I was still very understanding with no apology or acknowledgement of me even waiting that long. (This is not the experience that has forced me to write this lengthy review.) The experience that I had the next day and this morning is where I draw my line and am choosing to no longer be a customer of this cafe. Thursday morning I got to Hunts point at 7:12am, the gate to the cafe was still down but the gate to the door was open (while the door was still locked I was able to see the same lady- shift manager inside). I knocked and when she saw me she gave me the closed signal with her hand. After realizing that she was not going to open the door and or even walk over to the door, I asked her back in sign language how much time? She signaled back with her hands "15 minutes" By holding up her 5 fingers and opening and closing it 3 times- leaving me to figure out that she was saying "15 mins" which would put her to opening the cafe at 7:30. Again, I had to order coffee to my job. I decided to give grace and also was desperately in need of coffee by the afternoon of the same day so I walked over again and when I entered I was met with not even a hello, but with "I have many lunch/food orders so it will be a really long wait" I expressed I waited close to twenty minutes for a coffee the other day and she replied "yep, it's gonna be just as long as that today" so I exited feeling unwelcome and also feeling as though it was my second time being denied service in one day. I understand that she did not explicitly say "No, I am not making your coffee" but essentially I was ushered out and/or discouraged from purchasing within this facility, call it what you want- I think it is just plane rude and VERY POOR customer service. I expressed to her that this was the second time today I was denied service and I also expressed that I am aware that the hours begin at 7AM. Since I was unable to use verbal communication and forced to communicate in sign languages earlier that day in the morning. Today was my last visit to the Cafe after still trying to be treated as a valued customer, I entered and order my Iced latte and sat with my lunch as I have previously done in the past. The moment that I was going to bite into my pizza I was again ushered out of the cafe. The SAME female shift manager stated, "You cannot eat that outside food in here". This was the last opportunity for this women to make me feel unwelcome. Unfortunately, I will not be a customer of this business any longer and I will share my unwelcoming experience with anyone who inquires about the cafe. I am saddened by this!

I love this cafe! They have a variety of tea options, which I really like because I am a tea drinker at heart. Also they have delicious pastries and paninis! This over any dunkin donuts in the area. The staff are extremely passionate about their work and the community as well. I had a wonderful chat with Junior, who is simply amazing! I highly recommend! read more

I may have come in after they were closing or possibly 2 minutes before. Never before was I greeted with a warm, sincere hello. I mean, ever; from any establishment. I enjoyed the vibes so much in there. It's a great place to hang out and chat. The coffee was nice. What I also appreciated was the vendor items there! Did I get a pair of crystal earrings? Yes. read more

Boogie Down Grind Café is a beautiful, cozy space, with wonderful hot and iced tea (my husband loves the coffee too, but I'm a tea drinker) and pastries, and friendly staff. We're beyond happy to live a block away from this Bronx gem and plan to be there every single day! read more

I love this place!!! They have a great urban ambiance. Staff very cordial. Highly recommend!!

Good coffee but the sandwiches aren't good at all. The vegan sandwich just had boiled spinach with a layer of chickpea spread. Very unpleasant to the palate. Menu is way too short.. Do not recommend this place if you are hungry. read more

I've been here a few times, It's really nice to see a very homey, welcoming and definitely unique space with lots of character in this area of The Bronx! I tried the Expresso, I had it sour with no sugar, it was surprisingly smooth and flavor full. I also have tried the Americano with whole milk, its great! I like my brown sugar, so I am glad they have that option. I had my Americano with this amazing coffee or peanut butter doughnut, I cant recall whats exactly in it, but If you MUST try something from this place its deff. this doughnut. The staff is always friendly and jolly, however I don't believe they have a restroom and I wish the space was a bit bigger. Overall great spot to grab a coffee and go! read more

My coffee and sandwich were both tasty, and the staff members were super nice and attentive. It's nice to have a spot with ambiance that isn't overpriced! I cannot stand when neighborhoods get cool spots that the natives cannot afford--this is NOT* the case at Boogie Down! Thank you for giving us a place to chill w/ good food, good coffee, and good vibes! read more

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. Several months later after discovering this gem and I am proud to say, they still got it. The ambience is great. The people who work there are all really wonderful people. And the owner, she is probably one of the coolest people on the planet. I camp out here at least 2 or 3 times a week since I work remotely. The quality of the food stays consistently good. The drinks appeal to me since they have the offbeat ones I find downtown. I'm so happy that I have a cafe like this walking distance. The community truly needed it read more

Delicious food great vibes drinks are amazing. I went during the happy hours and love everyone working here was super friendly I can't wait to go again read more

I used to have to travel out of borough for a matcha drink and now I don't have to! I also tried my first vegan food here. It was called "big panini" and tastes so good! Wouldn't mind to come back again, also the employees were really nice too. read more

This review is for the Boogie Down Coffee stand at Highline Park...the first star is for the cool name. The second is for the friendly service. But the rest of the stars went down the drain w the coffee a minute later after i tasted my small regular brew coffee which was not much better than something i couldve gotten at a corner bodega for half the price. Severely dissappointed by the quality and taste of the coffee from this company. read more

This is the best coffee in New York City. I've only been here for three months and drinking coffee for about as long, but I'm confident that you won't find better coffee anywhere. They have oat milk which absolutely seals the deal for me. And their oatmeal is delicious!! read more

Great little spot in the The Bronx. When I'm in the area I usually hit this spot up. I just had a Latte with barista oat milk and it was slamming. It came exactly the way you would want it to. The froth was insane ! The coffee gave me a jolt of lightening that lasted for some time. Good beans !!!! Like always I will be back. read more

Conveniently located near the Diller-Von Furstenberg Sundeck and Water Feature on the High Line in Manhattan, I grabbed a mocha from his mini Boogie Down and soaked up some rays. On a hot day, Be sure to wear your sandals to dip your feet in the refreshing water! I'll be sure to check out the full cafe when next I'm in the Bronx! read more

Staff was super friendly and it may have been the best cappuccino ive ever had. They have first responder fridays for discounts for first responders. read more

My best friend and I always complain about having to leave our hometown borough to enjoy ourselves. If we want coffee, we have to go to Manhattan. If we want vegan food, we have to go to Brooklyn. So when I found out that there was a coffee shop in the BX, I made the hour trip from my job to make sure I checked it out. The staff is friendly, the coffee is delicious, and they have hemp milk! I'd love to see more vegan food options, but other than that, they officially have a loyal customer(starting in August when I move back to the Bronx lol)! read more

For such high prices, the coffee was not good. There are countless other places to get coffee in and around Chelsea market that are light-years ahead of this place. Coffee tasted like sour dirt and plastic. read more

Great coffee at good prices! Cool spot in Hunts Point with local art on walls for sale, free books, and chill vibe!

It's ok.... just okay! Nothing like the reviews speak of... there was a guy who they allow to sit there the entire time to occupy the most comfortable welcoming spot.... the food and drink is waaay over priced for the quality. I would like to support this business again but , well.... Naaahhh probably not. read more
