Coffee Rx — Restaurant in New York

UPDATE: On Thursday, June 5, 2025, a petite Asian female worker at the Bensonhurst location confronted a visitor to this cafe in a rude and unnecessary way. She told him directly that if he doesn't buy something from the cafe, then he must leave the premises. She made a big scene with this person. The cafe was half empty at the time, so it wasn't like customers were waiting on line for table space. Eventually, she got him kicked out of the cafe. There was no need to do this since his presence wouldn't have affected their business. This was just a petty, unnecessary move on the worker's behalf. I wrote a positive review for this cafe five years ago, but I just removed two stars from my original five-star review. Also, there are many other cafe options in this part of Brooklyn that I won't be visiting this place again due to her rudeness. If the owner responds to my message here and tells me that he already spoke to this worker about being less rude, then I will update my review with five stars and visit this place again. Below is my original review of the place.

This place has a great atmosphere and great food. Their coffee is flavorful and of high-quality. There is a homey vibe to the decor of this place and it's a welcoming place for one to work on their laptop. They do have a 3-hour time limit for when the...

Terrible service and athmosphere in this location. 01/27/25 I visited the location of Bensonhurst Coffee Rx. I bought the coffee and sat down for a couple of min to enjoy my antiallergic snack with the coffee. The sales person loudly and rudely in front of all cafe pointed on my snack, and I understood that this is because of the food from outside. I wouldn't have argued if the Chinese saleperson with the broken English hadn't rudely and loudly humiliated me in front of the whole cafe. Later I pointed out to her that the allergy information on the wall for customers was outdated and it seemed like I had done well not to buy any food in this cafe ( I know this by my profession! ). When I pointed this to her, she and the other employees ( possible manager as well) started laughing and saying something in my direction in their language. I reminded them that Thanks GOD in our country we can leave reviews. Very...

Their food made me sick I was there today and had one of their wraps. The chicken and avocado in the wrap were bad quality. The texture and taste of the chicken was very weird. Needles to say couldn’t eat more than a few bites. The “side salad” was one type of green (baby spinach?) with an overly vinegary vinaigrette dressing. Disappointed with the food, I got a cup of tea to calm the nausea. The tea wasn’t any better. It tasted like the carton it was in. As a coffee shop, they should have better quality cups or moderate the temperature of the water to prevent the taste of the carton in the tea. I have been puking since I left the cafe. The staff weren’t thrilled to have customers either. No greeting, they walked off in the middle of both of my orders without any instructions on payment or confirmation. I’m giving two stars for the high speed wifi and the space provided for studying/working. I will not...
