I discovered this cafe in a strange way; it's owner was promoting it in a local Facebook group that I came across by accident. I was curious about it since I love good coffee and I also like to support local mom and pop businesses. I soon brought my daughter with me there to have coffee together. The place was at first hard to find since it was on a side street off of the main avenue. When I entered, it appeared about half the size of a typical cafe. However, the small space was designed in such a way to give maximum impact. The high ceiling exposing the natural wood rafters, an original brick wall, and another wall fully stocked from top to bottom with coffee products made this place visually appealing considering the small space. Their coffee comes from the Brooklyn Roasting Company which I like since it's a local business that they support. I tried their vegan sweet potato coconut curry soup. It was so good and had a little bit of a spicy kick to it. The cheddar chive biscuit was out of this world. It was savory and flaky with an unique cheesy-spicy flavor combination. After my daughter sampled my biscuit, she wanted one for herself. There are a few other food items on their menu including ham & cheese croissants, garlic cheese waffles, various muffins, and large cookies. Seating here is limited. Besides a full table with seating for 5-6, there are a few wall-mounted tables for those who don't mind standing. Each of these tables has it's own dedicated outlet with USB connections for your electronic devices. The husband and wife owners were here when we visited. They were both warm and friendly and appreciated my business. In a neighborhood that's saturated with cafes, this place stands out...
Read moreIt’s sad that I have to leave a bad review because I don’t normally do. I came a couple of days ago and asked for the biscoff latte and the owner was very nice about it and asked me how I liked it. I loved it. I came back with a group of friends and a younger barista was working. I asked for the same thing, it didn’t taste the same at all, it was extremely thick you could barley drink it from the straw. I asked the girl if she can make me something else, once I was checked out I noticed she charged me for the drink that was no good. She told me she’s the daughter of the owner and said that her mother told her to charge it even though it was no good. Even my friends drinks came out way to sweet. I’d advice another spot just because the young girl seemed to not really care too much and didn’t seem to be well trained to be honest. I love to support small businesses and it’s why I avoided going to Starbucks, but clearly I was wrong. She lost several customers in...
Read moreThis is a great little "hole in the wall" type cafe, with great coffee, and other yummy coffee based drinks. The Biscoff, and Nutella coffees are outstanding to name just two. They also make delicious "Toasts" from Avocado, Roasted Beet and Brushcetta and more. They offer some amazing pastries, cookies, and assorted other goodies from Coulson's Bakery and Balthazar, along with Table 87 Pizzas. Not to mention some amazing soups that the lovely owner makes from scratch including Motzah Ball and others that she has on a regular rotation during "soup season". They have outdoor seating, and when the weather is nice, you can sit and check out the Brooklyn locals as they go about their day, stopping off for a little coffee boost or some fuel to get through the next task. It's always a pleasure chatting with the owners and some of the locals as they pass by...I love...
