2022-Jul-31 update: changing my original 5-star review to a 1-star due to staff putting customers at food safety risk!!! On July 29th Oatly issued recall for their barista milk due to potential bacteria contamination. On July 31st, 9:30am when ordering my coffee at this place I noticed Oatly Barista being used at this location and upon comparing the UPC code on their packaging with the ones being recalled, told the barista and the cashier that this product isn’t safe and being on FDA.gov recall list. Was shocked by staff’s response: “so, you don’t want oat milk in your coffee?” and they continued serving this milk to other customers. This is basic food safety procedure every staff serving food should know and apparently this location’s staff isn’t trained enough to understand food safety!

staff is fast, not...
Read moreThis is literally, the FRIENDLIEST coffee shop in ALL of NYC! AND their coffee tastes incredible (doesn't taste like a typical American coffee shop, but more like Australian coffee). AND they know how to make a flat white! I met Nick, Raro, and Josh and honestly they are the most polite staff you could ever ask to interact with. They want to make sure you have a great experience, great day, and they nicely try to upsell every customer (pastry anyone?!)! This is my new favorite coffee shop in all of Manhattan. Thanks Devo Team!!!! PS: I quite often get headaches from subpar coffee, but I had no such experience at Devocion! So thankful for the friendly team and delightful coffee! (and OMG I'm so impressed with the swan in...
