Noah Weiss: The most trendy coffee shop in midtown? La Colombe cappuccinos with fast free wifi, comfy couches, and oversized lamps.
JRSS: There's a nice, cozy, living room like room in the back with comfortable sofa and armchairs and books. Interesting selection of teas. The coffee is fresh and testy, but somewhat pricey.
Pauline P: I think I found my new favorite coffee shop. Love the ambiance of the place. Nice cozy seating in the back and communal table in the front.

Shari Marie R: Good coffee, comfy chairs but wifi code nowhere to be found. Good thing though is they have outlets everywhere. The snack offerings are okay not amazing...arepas in yellow or white, empanadas, etc
Alex Kovtun: Great place to meet with friends, comfy seats
Amanda Marie: Really great coffee! Definitely a great place to get some reading done and drink a good pot of delicious coffee.
Mack Elder: The radio listening room is truly underrated. Lay back in their strangely comfortable chairs and take in an old episode of "The Shadow" or "Fibber McGee."
Allison Daugila: The staff here are accommodating and helpful. They are sweet and knowledgable. They make the experience easy and enjoyable.

R: Two pretty comfortable seats in front of the elevator. Good place to rest.
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍: I love Chanel so I am biased. Superior sales people, super classy, like no other. Warm, welcoming and friendly. Chanel is top of the line second to none
Wade Howell: these folks are prissy and pretentious but when you pull 10,000$ in Chanel bags, shoes and accessories from your gym bag, they get all kinds of nice and happy to see you!
