Ed WinJanuary 24, 2017Love this place. Eddie made me a Kneel acai bowl that was the best I ever had. Coffee is great. Cookies are fresh. Always find a table. My goto place.
DensMay 24, 2017Big coffeeshop! Great place to get some work done (free wifi!) ps: There are power outlets hidden in brick wall in the back.
Ms HeleneJuly 31, 2016Bigger & less crowded than city counterparts. Likely cause coffee isn't as good as local W'burg neighbors like Toby's Estate and Bluebottle but they have matcha latte & variety of other drinks
LillycitaMay 11, 2014Great ambiance, tons of natural light, and conveniently located on Bedford just off McCarren Park. Come here to get $hit done!
Brian Grogan Jr.April 16, 2016Great coffee, fresh juices and smoothies, and awesome pastries. This place is open late too, so it's a perfect place to do some quiet evening reading!
Sandra GriedenNovember 16, 2014Great space, lots of light. I'm sure the powerful airco serves great on a hot summer day though slightly too 'windy' in November. Didn't care for the coffee (which tasted slightly burnt).
Courtney KleinMay 6, 2017Decent coffee and tons of seating. Not awesome for working because the wifi does its own thing. The staff were very nice, though. Lots of the other patrons were dicks, so extra points for the staff.- Ariel VieraMay 15, 2014This is a super spacious coffee shop where you could easily loose hours reading on a rainy day while sipping a chai latte.
Spacious, plenty of tables, seats and outlets, and good air conditioning!! Perfect for a super hot summer afternoon!- Ariel VieraMay 15, 2014For a heavenly drink that's obnoxiously long to say, get the Filthy Iced Skim Chai Latte.
- Hartje UtrechtMarch 21, 2015Sat down to warm up from some serious geocaching in the neighborhood. Had a latte and a slice of spectacular vegan peanut butter cheesecake.
Al LoNovember 20, 2016They have a sweet Nutella drink named after Ella Fitzgerald, as well as other cleverly named drinks!
Filter Scan / SeanOctober 19, 2014Good coffee but don't let them fool you with their trendy decor their a chain coffee, they might as well be Starbucks!
It's a great place to get some work done. Get here earlier in the day, if fills up fast.
Amaury HenderickMarch 15, 2016They play really good music to my taste (i.e. stuff with a Woodstocky vibe).
John-Carlos LunardiniJanuary 11, 2016Coffee is good but the bagels are tiny and they were out of gluten-containing bagels when I went I need gluten in my bread goddamnit
Maria Isabel CorreaSeptember 16, 2018It's about time to start using compostable plates, cups, straws, cutlery...
Brad MatthewsDecember 16, 2017Got a regular coffee at 9:30am on a Saturday - worst I’ve ever had. Must have burned it or something but not sure how you could screw up something simple so badly.
Sam HorineDecember 7, 2018There’s a lot of people here which is shocking because my food and coffee were both mediocre at best.
Marialéna GallizziDecember 3, 2014Conseil pas Cher, 1 Cafè ou thè small + une patisseries sous la cloche = 3$ environ donc cool

Since first opening in March 2003, we have become the "neighborhood coffee shop". Everything from our staff, our décor, our food & beverages and our music is influenced by the vibe of our neighborhood.
Our employees bring diversity, great attitude and hopefully add to our already great neighborhood!
Our private stock coffee's are crafted to reflect the spirited, street-smart flavor that epitomizes our neighborhood and our fair city. We roast our coffee in Brooklyn at the country's oldest roasting facility. We put our hearts and souls into this stuff and you'll know it the minute you taste it.
Our loose leaf tea's are second to none and include our specialty flavors, The Grouch, The Love Machine, Tea I.V. and The Dr. Is In just to name a few.
Our signature drink is The Dirty Chai, which is our delicious Chai Latte with a shot of espresso...you can even make it filthy by adding another shot.
Hope to see you soon!
