Coffee Mob — Restaurant in New York

I came here with my date after we spent two hours walking around in the freezing cold looking for somewhere to have lunch. We figured we would stop here to check the GPS and have some hot chocolate to warm our spirit and bodies up. The hot chocolate was delicious but they didn't have whipped cream! But the barista was nice enough to give me loads of marshmallows instead to make up for it. The hot chocolate wasn't very sweet but it was tasty. We also got a chocolate chip cookie and a brownie. The brownie was a bit dry but the crispy chocolate chip cookie was delicious. I would have licked the plate clean if I wasn't on a date. The shop itself is very small with limited seating [they do have a bathroom though!]; but the seats are sort of cool. They are built into the wall but they don't offer back support. On a side note, be sure to bring cash as they don't accept cards and the menu is on a chalkboard to the left of you when...

Stopped by after a date to get some work done, but the experience was bizarre from start to finish. The place was nearly empty, yet the owner (?) was inexplicably hostile. After my girlfriend ordered an outrageously overpriced tea, I went to grab a glass of water and was met with an aggressive lecture about needing to "support small businesses"—despite the fact that we had literally just made a purchase.

When I asked about the menu, the hostility escalated. The owner ranted about us "taking up too much space" (again, the place was nearly deserted) and seemed irritated that I even inquired about the offerings. When I finally got a look at the menu, it was an overpriced, uninspired selection. We left almost immediately.

To top it off, the owner was loudly cursing someone out on the phone, adding to the uncomfortable atmosphere. Overall, a truly strange and unwelcoming experience. Won’t be back, and I wouldn’t recommend...

This place is overly expensive and the owner is greedy. I understand it's coffee from Cuba or wherever, but they charge for the smallest things like ice --I kid you not I once ordered an iced latte and my total was about $10 and the owner said, "Oh wait, I forgot to charge you for the ice" and my total was now $12. Don't you just love being charged for solid water? ...another incident, I ordered a small coffee, and my total was $2.75, and later when I checked my bank account, I was charged $3.75. They took tip from me without my permission! And a whole $1 too! I don't go here often and the only rare time I will go here is when I'm running late and don't have time to stop anywhere else, because this place is very close to where I live. Just another inconvenience of gentrification. Avoid this place and support other local coffee shops around here, may I...
