Best coffee in crown heights by far. The breakfast sandwich is pure ecstasy - they make the croissants in-house. Wifi password is brooklyn11238
From far away it looks like a basement bakery . I wasn't even sure which door to pull. But as I swung one open, I found a workplace oasis. THE spot to get coffee/tea/food and work away. Good salad too!
Good place to do work. Good coffee , nice table space. Not wild about their food, but overall nice cafe .
Vegetarian friendly , laptop friendly . The place has recently renovated to add alcohol options. Decor severely upgraded and more seating.
Plenty of sitting space and sunlight. Free wifi , iced and hot drinks, food and pastries .
As of March 2018 they re-opened with a very different concept. So don’t come because of anything you read in old tips. It’s still good though.
i had a muffin that just came out of the oven. it was fucking magical. oh, and the coffee was pretty good too.
My favorite coffee in the area. The least pretentious , most welcoming coffee . Great for working on your computer.
The veggie burger is excellent. The patty seems to be from Beyond Meat, so if you don’t like a meaty taste, skip it.
Iced coffee is very tasty. Not too expensive either (large is $3.50)
One of the nicer sit down coffee shops/cafes in Crown Heights
Went to restroom for 5 min, came out & the owner was going thru my bag & started yelling saying I was't there all day (at my seat). He kept yelling & it only escalated. He was volatile & inconsolable.
Real chill vibe. Great coffee .
Really tasty coffee . Nice staff .
Very good coffee shop in Crown Heights
Moroccan Salad
Best strawberry muffin ever!
Great salads , Moroccan chicken .
Bottomless mimosas are a great deal.
Coffee refills, cookies
Food is fresh and tasty.
Food is alright, but space to work is v limited (most tables are labeled no laptops )
Bagel and lox is ok
No laptops during brunch
Get the chorizo scrambled egg sammich, ask for Avocado!! So good, flavorful and filling. I barely drink coffee but theirs is off the hook - inna kats
I’m making my way through all the smoothies but with add ons it could take years and infinite combinations ????The BLT is great; add a crab cake it’s even better. - Jacqueline Huie
