Came for iced coffees in the middle of the day. Loved their menu which was printed on slats of wood.
Husband got an iced mint mocha, which sort of just looked like a mocha with green syrup/food coloring on the whipped cream, but he had no complaints!
I got the "America" which was on the coffee section, even though there was a similarly described smoothie in the smoothie section. I'm not sure the difference, but I was able to substitute the milk with almond milk, I think. Wasn't too exciting, but definitely quenched the thirsty on the hot day.
Friend got the Caramel Frapucino. She didn't have any complaints either.
The atmosphere and the outdoor set up definitely reminded me of being in Paris, like the many cafes with the red awning. Unfortunately, we weren't the only ones who felt like that because we had to move because someone was smoking and then another table was smoking on the other side (further). Kind of weird. Haven't experienced people smoking on restaurant property in a while in America.
Was surprised that they insisted if we were going to be at a table that they didn't want us ordering at the counter and to wait for wait staff, but then they put our drinks in disposable cups. Plus side, when we were ready to go and I was still drinking, it was all...
   Read moreWe first came in there and there was a lot of white people, which makes sense, so if ur not white don’t go. Got a lot of stares. Waiter was like, idk she was ignoring my table. Wait time was good, took a bit longer then expected but only by a couple minutes. The waiter was very silent, she didn’t talk or answer my questions normally. But for others I saw she was she was even smiling and making conversation with them. The other customers where also white and Italian so I can see why maybe she preferred them. The drinks where not amazing but not terrible. The coffee was good and so nice looking. But the milkshake was very eugh, with way too much milk. Like I get it’s a milk shake but the milk was too much in my opinion. It tasted good though so I’m not going to lie. I would honestly go back for another shake if only I didn’t feel like an alien in there. Then to pay was a hassle, they took a long time to ask for the money, and when I went to the front to pay because I had to go, they told me to sit back down and wait for them. So I did but they never came so I had to call them 3 times and finally I got to pay. So yea, weird environment good drinks, and chill place. Would not go back tho but was a...
   Read moreI had to delete my review from 4 years ago and write a new one. It used to be a great place when they first opened. Service used to be good and staff attentive. Now you sometimes sit there for over ten minutes while their waiters/waitresses are chilling, on their phone, or just chatting with their co-workers or fellow Albanian customers/friends. I tried giving the place a few more chances but I will not go back. Last time that young lady had such an attitude with me, and treated me like she was upset at me. As I was standing at the counter to pay, she aggressively, in an exasperated tone blurted "EXCUSE ME !!!" because I was standing in front of the register tablet. As stated in another review, nowadays, if you're not Albanian (or if you're not a Fordham student) you're a second-class customer, and the least of their priority (and no need to have a dark skin to be treated as such), while when you go to more divy Albanian cafes in the Bronx they treat you like a normal individual and are actually friendly, Prince Coffee House seems to have become an overpriced elitist Upper-Middle-Class Albanian-American club. Other places on Arthur Avenue with WAY friendlier staff: Luna Cafe, Parisienne...
