    Small business, great desserts, friendly people, and the open mic gives a voice to people who feel voiceless

    Súper chill. So good Penn avenue has a really neat coffeeshop! No need to take the train until downtown.

    Great new-ish place in the neighborhood. Clearly focused on the needs of ENY. Friendly staff, cool looking interior.

    Everything about this cafe is to love. Black bean burger and the tomato bisque are great. Vibes are great.

    This Haitian owned cafe is such a delight, and it was just a walking distance from where I was…read morestaying! It shares a similar vibe and atmosphere to other Brooklyn smoothie and juice shops. And they have the lovely patties like jerk plantain, ackee, and more. I checked the menu ahead of time, but my niece and I found ourselves studying it hard when we walked in. So many options! I decided to get a pumpkin spice patty (new to me), oxtail patty, and protein shake. My niece got a red velvet pastry and acai bowl. My patties and smoothie came out in about 10 minutes, and my niece received her pastry when we paid. The acai bowl took quite a long time, but I did notice that it was advertised as being new on their menu. The gentleman that took our order was literally the only one in the cafe, and quite a line formed after we got settled, so power to him! If you walk to the back of the cafe, you will see a door that says the patio is open, and it was a lovely area to sit at. It was hilarious to hear a rooster nearby, feeling just like the islands. The pumpkin spice patty was delicious, but the oxtail patty stole the show. It was also a Haitian style patty, so it was nice to have that since it's so rare for me. My shake had peanut butter and protein in it, so it was heavy, but it was so yummy. My niece liked her pastry and her soluble, although there was some unblended acai in there. They'll get it right. I would definitely return to this cafe, and I hope they continue to do well!

    I came with a friend for an open Mic night and the ambiance in this place was divine! very home-y…read moreand has a great eclectic menu. we were welcomed by G and he was great in helping us navigate the menu. will definitely return!
