Rude service, overpriced drinks. Whilst holding the volume around 85 decibels the barista screams at me that she can't hear me and tells me I need to speak up saying, "you're hardly speaking!". She then informs me that most people don't like the Americano I just ordered.
Without informing me of the price she gestures at a little white brick with blinking lights demanding some unknown amount of payment.
The prices have been raised to point where I can't justify the expense nor tolerate overly-loud hipster coffee shop musak. Without checking, I'd have to say the company is headquartered in Brooklyn - I can see this form of harassment would be appealing in certain neighborhoods.
One of the few alternatives in the area is Starbucks which is a popular hangout for the homeless (who appear to be using the bathrooms as a shower).
The overly loud music seems to have been a parting gift from the closing crew - like a frog in boiling water, the opening barista was unaware of the siren-like wailing of the speakers until guests arrived for their...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI came here on Friday to study and do some work alongside my girl. Itās slightly cramped in my opinion but definitely a nice atmosphere.

If youāre going for the vibes tho, I think itās overall a nice spot. Fair prices and comfy...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreOverpriced and terrible customer service. The baristas are just standing around talking to each other, I had to interrupt their conversation to get my order in. They did not greet or say hi when we entered. What killed me about this experience was that they had all the tables full of people with laptops and we were looking to sit and they gave a snobbish sorry in response to me asking if there was anywhere else to sit. I regret tipping the baristas because of this lack of care for the customer experience. Every table had a sign prohibiting laptops and they cared more about chatting and not caring for customers who came for a welcoming experience. Good riddance never...
