Kinship Coffee — Restaurant in New York

This is a nice place BUT you won’t be able to do much work or study because they always play loud rap music, or other vulgar music. For the owners there is a thing on Spotify called coffee shop music it’s not meant to distract the listener it’s meant to just make a good vive to get work/study done. If the music changed I would be here all the time. I get coffee, coffee bags and pastries from here they are good but the music is not work indusive. I haven’t been to the big store but I hope it isn’t like that. For the small store again the music is so loud I can feel the vibration on the table. Aside from this they have potential to be the go-to place for coffee and get things done on a Sunday (after they change the music thing of course) if you just want to get a coffee and get out then this is the place don’t hang out...

There’s a short chubby white guy who wears glasses at the Steinway/30th Ave location who is quite uncomfortable to deal with and comes across condescending. He had a visitor hanging around inside(witness this a few times) which is quite uncomfortable while waiting for your drink in this pandemic situation. I had to go stand by the window almost to door to wait for my drink because his friend was taking up the area one normally waits for drinks. Also, noticed that a customer was waiting outside when she could have been inside if his friend was unnecessarily hanging around inside. Will avoid going in while...

For huge new space, they had a paltry selection of sweet pastries at noon on a Sunday. I asked the young lady twice if she would heat up my chocolate croissant and she replied they don't normally do that. That's why I asked again and she replied the same and that the croissants were quite fresh. Wrong!! The croissant was cold and dense and the chocolate was cold and hard. THAT'S why I wanted it warmed up. So I chucked it and walked down the street to Starbucks where they have a HUGE selection of pastries and they gladly warmed up my chocolate croissant. I'll skip Kinship...
