Sean Fisher

Great priced coffee beans, love their Brazilian and the Guatemalan beans. Probably the coolest way to see your coffee made when the beans fly overhead in tubes into the coffee maker.

Collette S

A small, perfect coffee shop founded by a former Starbucks employee. Watch the coffee beans soar over your head and into your cup with their unique brewing method. And they can make any coffee iced!

Kate Furman

They fresh brew every cup of coffee including an iced cup. They chill it in a coil iced bath which holds the flavor of the beans. Best iced cuppa on the block.

Kevin Cabral

You substitute any bean for the house blend . The house blend is great but trying a bean in store is a great way to understand the ideal flavor profile when you brew at home.

Vivienne Gucwa

The Sulawesi is rich and full-bodied goodness. Stick around and watch the beans transfer via pneumatic tubes . So fun.

Chloe Becquet

Watch your coffee beans travel across the room while u wait! Also the hot caramel (instead of hot chocolate ) was so smooth and creamy!! Loved it!

Antonio Caez

Turtle says to Snail: "Hey, Mayor De Blasio lowered the speed limit to 30 mph." Snail replies: "I know. I already got a ticket." While I drink coffee , I tell jokes and they don't throw me out!

Dan Tillis

Coffee is amazing! Each cup is freshly roasted, watching the process is incredible. Best coffee in the neighborhood

Andrew Furman

Watching the huge bean dispensers get refilled via this automated tube system is amazing.

Jen Ball

It's fun to watch your beans get sucked up through the pneumatic tubes when you place an order. The spectacle alone is worth the visit. The coffee is just above standard fare, though.

Ms Helene

Freshly roasted coffee . Oat , almond and soy milk options. Four seats so get to go.

Chelsea Parks

Get a small supercharged (it's basically coffee brewed with 40% more beans), an almond croissant and proceed outside to play with the English Bulldogs.

Vivienne Gucwa

Sit and stay a while while enjoying their kick-ass coffees and watch the javabot machines (complete with tubes!) do their magic.

Nina LoSchiavo

Dope chocolate chip cookies and really solid espresso . Tube to grinder system makes for a fun experience!

Shelby

They brew every cup of coffee as you place your order. And grind beans for your specific coffee maker. Simply wonderful.

Best coffee on the lower east side and such a nice team

Vivienne Gucwa

Get their chocolate chip cookies . When they are fresh out of the oven, it's a thing of beauty.

Simon Sun

Roasting plant blend is some of the best coffee I've had.

Joey Ngooi

Nice little homey coffee shop with loads of outlets! Not many seats though (about 4).

Vivienne Gucwa

Get the Guatemalan Atilan San Lazaro. Ridiculously good. Tamarind and dark chocolate notes.

Ben Fishner

Great iced coffee and drip, both brewed to order.

A L E X

Tried the Guatemala blend, as per recommendation by the barista. Enjoyable experience. Right choice.

Molly Stoddart

Amazing, fresh coffee . Love watching the beans roasting!

Jay Mandel

Order the Harrar, A medium bodied with blueberry undertones. I am more of a full bodied guy and I am not really into "fruity " coffee but This coffee was perfect. Piping hot, smooth and delicate.

Alexandra Levitas

This place is worth the visit mostly for their super cool coffee dispensing machine. The coffee itself though is average and a bit overpriced.

Sharon Dancziger

Best coffee in the city . The baristas are super friendly .

Anissa

Coffee is pretty good but the unique javabot system is a sight to behold!

Shanghao Zhong

Fresh and vibrant and strong and creative

Gman

Atmosphere is a bit colder than at Brooklyn Taco (in Essex Market ) but they are also nice coffee experts

Cade Wallace

get a large supercharged and have the jitters all day (not saying it's a bad thing...)

Elie Bleier

Cool concept, but not the best coffee in the neighborhood by a long shot

César Pérez

Be sure to tip the servers! They're not allowed to have tip jars, but they are allowed to accept tips. Don't be a cheap ass!

Elizabeth Silvis

Make sure to look up when you order your coffee to watch the beans for your drink come shooting through the tubes. Simple pleasures!

Andrew T.

Ask to pour the Vanilla Sugar in the tin cup before they brew you an iced coffee ; guaranteed delicious!

Gerald Lam

One of only coffee joints I've seen in town offer agave hazelnut syrup . Dig it!

Jessica T.

Painfully slow service with servers that are rude and completely unaware of their customers. But the coffee is so freaking good that it's worth enduring.

Keenan Turner

Cappuccino is smooth and rich. Just the right amount of milk .
