Kuro Kuma

Wonderful counter culture coffee , perfectly made. Get a dry cappuccino and a plain croissant and savor. So much better than industrial coffee shops - one of my favorite neighborhood high points.

Best coffee in the area. The lattes are super creamy, and the espresso is never bitter. Big MSM hangout, so if you can get a seat in the teeny space, you'll be surrounded by musicians ! :)

Undisputed best coffee for miles! Including espresso , drip coffee and anything based on these. Counter Culture beans and Balthazar baked goods round out the experience.

Well prepared coffee and friendly staff . No room to stay long but there's a friendly crowd that loiters in front. Perfect to get your caffeine fix on the go.

Best coffee and espresso for miles! Plus baked goods , and in a cozy space with good tunes . What more could you want.

Cute little shop with awesome coffee and pastries . Good relaxing music . Usually a Manhattan School of Music crowd.

Finally a great coffee place north of Columbia campus - this is infinitely better than joe's!

They serve Counter Culture coffee . Beat the afternoon line at Joe and come here instead.

Consistently great coffee , friendly staff , delicious pastries-beat the line at Joe 's and come here!

Great person behind the counter. Cute local location. The counter culture coffee is always robust.

ADORABLE. Be lucky enough to grab one of the roughly 6 seats. Good chai and Balthazar pastries .

Love the soft atmosphere. The barista makes great coffee .the owner dave rocks

Lovely little place - joes has better ice chais , but not a bad alternative

Amazing new cafe close to Columbia ! Delicious 'Counter Culture ' coffee

The beans are good but the baristas are awful. So awful espresso coffee in the end. Maybe the regular brew is good because much less skill, tinkering and passion needed there.

Counter Culture espresso ably pulled at this tiny & welcoming shop.

Very good coffee but a $10 credit card minimum effectively renders this place cash only .

A wonderful new addition to the neighborhood !

Small venue but amazing counter culture coffee !

Nice espresso from a quirky little place

I never write reviews - but the iced chai is out of this world
