Serious EatsSeptember 3, 2013It's kind of dark for studying, but the comfy well-worn couches, thrifty posh décor, chicken liver crostini, and cool (for Morningside) crowd made me feel like cozying up with Das Kapital was a treat
Valerie SJune 17, 2016Cute cafe with outdoor seating in front and super cozy areas inside. Great for a meal or for studying. Staff is friendly and service is quick.
Sameepa ShettyApril 5, 2015Hidden gem. Almost don't want to popularize a place you can go for dates, chat with girl friends, lounge or even work at! Comfy sofas, chairs, affordable food & Wine. Nice salmon. Great music.
- Madeline McDavidApril 10, 2016Comfy velvet armchairs and sofas, delicious paninis, and good deals on wine. Cozy place to study with good wifi during the day, or grab a drink in the evening.
Harlem AmbassadorJune 1, 2013Somehow this bar/lounge seems more SoHo than Morningside Heights. The same owners as Covo at West Harlem Piers. Lots of food, wine and hefty portions satisfy the Columbia trekkers willing to splurge
Park Slope NotaryJuly 19, 2013This place is very cozy. Same type of idea as the Tea Lounge in Park Slope, but on UWS Morningside. Near Columbia University. Feels like home & warm in appearance.
- Karen JohnsonAugust 13, 2015Great little cafe near Columbia University. It serves meals, coffee and wine. Love it here
Mari KimFebruary 17, 2013there are a couple of tucked away places to charge your laptop - to the right as you walk in by the window, and behind the big couch
A regular after-work hangout, pleasant outdoor seating when it's warm, interior decor is eclectic and stylish, free wifi. Service is great when Maria is working, otherwise it's just OK.
A great place to chill with coffee, wine, and some great small dishes.
Oddie MoghaluAugust 30, 2013Love this place and the service. Good study spot, awesome coffee and delicious food.
Danica YSeptember 3, 2013Try to crostinis! I'd recommend the fig and goat cheese or avocado. The antipasto is great too!
Casual space. Can have just one coffee and sit around for hours.
- GNTLMNJanuary 22, 2013For the UWS crowd, including Columbia students. Pleasant, good coffee, good wifi.
Tara ReedDecember 9, 2012One could essentially live here. All the food, coffee and wine you need to get through finals
T.J. B.May 23, 2010The Mediterranean Salad (fruit, walnuts, yogurt, and honey) is quite refreshing and a wonderful gluten-free option that is filling.
Brad GerickFebruary 8, 2014When I arrived at 10 a.m. on a Saturday, they were playing Spanish music. When I left around 1:30 p.m., Katy Perry. *Shrugs*
Amanda BoekelheideJanuary 28, 2012Max cafe is way shittier food than I remember + they don't have bacon & there's no such thing as a refill on coffee. At least they have wifi & you can hide away in the corner forever.
Melissa ThomasMay 20, 2011Danesi coffee is the best! Chill out on the couch and relax about the service, just enjoy the space.
- Never able to connect to the WiFi here...that makes it good for being productive though!!
Jill WoodwardOctober 8, 2012Cozy atmosphere, but not worth the service. refused to even take our drink orders until our last joined us. Forgot items or charged us twice for others. Was stopped b/c our tip wasn't satisfactory.
Dylan PortelanceNovember 29, 2013Too much Lonestar and Faith Hill for my taste but the chairs are comfy and the soup was decent
Claudia S.May 14, 2010Great atmosphere, service is a hit or miss. You can stay for hours and not get kicked out.
Martin S.August 16, 2013Whatever you do, don't try the iced tea with strawberry and orange juice. It's absolutely horrible. Also, place is extremely overpriced.
Calvin C.February 20, 2012Place is very chill, but the service is dull. If the server smiled, I could overlook the slowness
