After getting recommendations from two different friends on social media about this place, I just had to check it out myself. When I arrived in my car, the free parking lot was full, so I decided to park across the street in a neighboring lot. This told me that this cafe is busy, which is a good thing. Upon entering the front door, I was greeted to a sprawling space that was full of visually interesting decor and nick nacks. It felt like a giant living room in someone's home and this hominess instantly made me feel comfortable. It also felt like it can be a museum that displayed pieces of Americana. There was an eclectic assortment of furniture. One section had large tables and chairs while another section had sofas with coffee tables to lounge by. Every square inch of this place was visually interesting. the walls were lined with shelves displaying antiques and other collectible items. One wall displayed a giant neon sign that paid homage to Brooklyn. Even the bathroom was well-displayed with various curios lining the walls. I chose to sit in the sofa area at a small table so that I can continue writing my book. I ordered coffee, a tuna sandwich, and a fresh Italian pastry. Each item was delicious. the menu is wide and offers many kinds of drinks and food. I peeked behind the counter and noticed a huge kitchen and bakery section which was the source of all the great food. This cafe merges into an antique and collectible store that is chock-full of collectible items and other memorabilia for sale to the public. My mom and aunt love antiques. I can't wait to bring them with me the next time I visit this cafe. The only negative that I can think of is that there are limited electric outlets for those who want to work on their laptops. However, I was able to scout out two outlets at one end...
ย ย ย Read moreWhen I heard about this place, I thought it was some ordinary Cafe but when I came here for the first time I was amazingly overwhelmed by what they have. ๐ฎ๐ This place had a cafe, bakery ๐ฅฏ๐ง and all the way in the back, they have an antique store. The atmosphere felt comfortable and artistic inside. They had a lot of tables and chairs but one spot had a table and couches with a big Brooklyn sign in the background.๐๏ธ There was a lot of books, antiques, old items and collectibles that were used for cooking and other things. ๐๐ชThere was even large line of rolling pins around the place. I supposed to get breakfast there. But me and a group of people from JCC got there a little late because of traffic and backtracking. So we had lunch instead. They had desserts, drinks and good dining.๐ฅโ๐ณ๐ฐ๐๐ฆ Waitresses were a little busy with our lunches, but I respected their hard-work and dedication. I got myself an avocado turkey club sandwich ๐ฅช There was no cheese,so my side of smashed potatoes as an alternative. ๐ฅ ๐ฝ๏ธ I went inside their bathroom and it looked very fancy. ๐ฒ It showed a little history of places that was part of cake chef. It felt like I was in another timeline from way back in the day. We met this guy who was kind of the owner of the place. He was kind and greeting with his presence and gave us a chocolate coin ๐ช we even took a picture with him. By the end of the day, we went inside their store and there were so many items that will collected from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. I was so fascinated by what they have, there was no explaining it. I might want to come back here for The full experience because this place was a great...
ย ย ย Read moreIf i could give this place 0 stars I would. Will never attend ever again. Just went to get coffee on my way to work and had a disgusting experience. The girl behind the counter with the yankee shirt, glasses and hat who claims to be the MANAGER has absolutely terrible customer service. I ordered an iced coffee with VANILLA and HALF AND HALF and when my coffee was done she read it off as vanilla and hazelnut. I politely asked the girl who brought it to me to remake it as maybe she misheard my order however the girl with the yankee hat started yelling from behind her that they do not have enough iced coffee to remake it. I took it and walked away at a loss of words at the service I just experienced. My friend stormed back up as this is unacceptable and said that the coffee was atrocious and common courtesy is to remake it considering my order was not even correct. She continued to argue about the order and insisted on us buying a new coffee. She took the coffee and threw it in the sink before finally remaking it. She then followed us back to the couch telling us that she is not starbucks and they cant afford to make another coffee. We got up and left because we were not gonna sit there and let her continue to yell at us and talk down on us. It was 8:15 amโฆ the fact they have no iced coffee when they are a coffee place is ridiculous. And then the terrible customer service on top of that is what will lead to me and many others never coming back. The feeling of being unsafe and unwelcomed should never happen in an...
