    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a cute cafe that also sells cute trinkets.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I enjoy coming here before work. The baristas are super nice and I enjoy their coffee! Highly recommend. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It gets a lot of foot traffic so at certain times it is definitely pick up and go![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Other times you can sit at the cozy circle tables (3)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Iced Dirty Chai
    Yulissa C.

    Such good quality coffee here! Tried their famous dirty chai in iced and hot and both were incredible ! My co worker told me about this coffee shop near our hospital and I'm so glad she did because it's so delicious worth the price and reasonably priced too ! Next I want to try there matcha which I hear is good as well just most days for those long work days espresso is a must ! Tried two of their pastries last time I tried this baked cinnamon croissant kind of pastry which was so good! 10/10 was like a cinnamon bun and croissant had a baby just so good. Today I tried their cheddar chive biscuit man 10/10 that was so well made and flavorful ! Service is great the baristas are kind and fast ! Definitely glad there a good coffee shop near the hospital

    Great music, great coffee, great vibes. Indoor has two tables that seat two people each, and a bench that could sit another two people.

    Cute little trinkets

    This is such a cute little gem near the Columbia hospitals. I came here with a couple of friends to get some coffee, and we loved it! The server was so fun and kind, we had a great time chatting with him. The decor is really funky and cute as well. They also have little earrings and other items for sale. We got london fogs and a lavender latte. I was so happy that the london fog was made perfectly! It had been a while since I had one that was made right. We liked the place so much that we came back the next day! Check this place out if you're around the area.

    I'm a sucker for hot new businesses, and the Plug definitely qualifies as one of them. A coffee shop with a daily rotation of pastries and smoking supplies - definitely not something you hear of often. I haven't had the honor to check out this establishment in person yet as my love for this place started through Seamless. The coffee is strong, consistent, and flavorful. Their drip coffee is as delicious as their lattes. I've tried their almond croissant and apple turnover so far and they are both amazing! I believe they get their pastries delivered from another bakery but the freshness is real! I don't smoke so I can't comment on their "tobacco" supplies, but they market them as environmentally-friendly and organically made. TLDR: I'm a fan. Check this place out.

    The best iced oat milk lattes! Really cool small coffee shop with great coffee and a cool vibe.

    I already know I'm gonna be a regular here. For starters, their coffee is a solid 5 out of 5. So far, we've had a macchiatto, a latte, an espresso, and a café con leche and each one was perfect. The barista is friendly and the vibe is chill! The decor is simple - a few wall hangings and one wall of exposed brick. There's seating planned for the future, which I'm excited for! But in the meantime, for those looking for excellent coffee on the go, look no further than The Plug. They also have a small selection of pastries including doughnuts and croissants and a cookie shaped like a bear which they've cleverly named "Ted". I've yet to try Ted but their vanilla doughnut (vanilla creme filling) was delicious. If you are from the area, you should pick up a loyalty card because after 10 drinks, the next one is free! Make this your next go-to coffee place because weird things happen at Starbucks and you'll get better coffee here!

    Easily my favorite coffee in the entire city! I have yet to try something that is subpar, everything they offer is so good! It's a one stop shop for all your needs with an assortment of trinkets, jewelry, and even clothes, and the pastries are amazing as well. They also have a rotating gallery wall that features local artists! The Plug is truly for the people, by the people. Way better than that st*rbucks on 168th!!

    I had an oat latte, which was phenomenal, and one of their gluten free muffins, which was also very tasty.

    Whenever I'm in Harlem, I find my way to Lucille's. At this point, I barely look at the menu…read morebecause my order is set: the kale salad with grilled chicken, one guava waffle with guava rum butter, and a brown sugar latte. Yes, a kale salad and a guava waffle. Stay with me. The salad is fresh, savory, and hearty, especially with the grilled chicken. Then comes the waffle--warm, slightly sweet, and topped with guava rum butter that melts into every little pocket. Oh my goodness. Taking a bite of the savory chicken and kale, followed by that soft guava waffle, gives me the perfect sweet-and-savory meal. It should not work as beautifully as it does, but it absolutely does. And the brown sugar latte? Always. It's smooth, comforting, and sweet without tasting like someone poured syrup into a cup and called it coffee. The space has the easy, unhurried feeling of a neighborhood coffee shop, but the menu is giving a real brunch experience. It's cozy and beautifully lit during the day--the kind of place where you can settle in and enjoy yourself without feeling rushed. The service matches that energy. Everyone is attentive, kind, and genuinely knows the menu. They always greet you with a smile and give you exactly the right amount of small talk: enough to make you feel welcomed, never so much that it interrupts your peace. The atmosphere, the people, and that guava rum butter keeps me coming back.

    STOP LOOKING. ORDER FROM LUCILLE'S RIGHT NOW…read more The pizza is truly remarkable. The crust is perfectly crispy with a fluffy center. The toppings and combos are delicious. Make your own if you're not feeling theirs. It's worth it. Also writing this review because they are just quality people. I ordered a vegan pizza with some toppings but wanted pepperoni and that wasn't an option. I made a note asking if a substitution was possible, knowing it likely wasn't because of a price difference. I'm not vegan, but I needed a dairy-free alternative since I am breastfeeding a baby with a cow milk protein intolerance. The LOADED up my pizza. Truly stand-up humans. Thanks, Lucille's, if you're reading this: you made my night!
