Saturn Road — Restaurant in New York

They kicked out about half of the paying clientele at 6:00p because they don't allow laptops after that hour. Really disappointing. If you're going to open up a late night coffee shop/bar, allow laptops until the end of service. This shop is the first of a few local late night cafes in the cobble hill area, aside from Liz's.

I have come to Saturn Road enough times to know that the music is usually chill and there is a balance of people chatting and workers working. It's an easy 8/10 on the productive atmosphere scale. It's been nice to visit in a later hour just to get out of the stiffness of the home or tensions of the library.

I don't know when this restriction started, but it's going to deter a lot of people who want a late night cafe for reasons like my own. It made me feel like I had no where else to go, when I truly did not want to isolate in my own home and wanted to be around the activity of other people. My evening here was going to transition into a glass of wine and a bite to eat. It's not like my dollar makes that much of a difference, but it was potentially half the current clientele's dollars. I get the whole 2025 "lets connect" trend but we also have to be realistic. Writers write on their laptops, designers design, animators animate, traders trade, etc. Here, i'm speaking for those who have to work all day from home and want to get their own stuff going, outside the home, but need a computer and want/need outside world stimulation. This cafe created the first resource for this in the neighborhood and is now a...

This review is about sustainability only!

I am grateful for your reusable, for-here cup and mug options. But I wonder if there are ways that you can make them more readily available and known to customers who may not think to ask for them, even when they are dining in or working from this location!

It seems upon observation that most customers here do not know to ask for your mugs and glasses. And end up instead, using throw away single use plastics that will ultimately end up in landfills, the ocean, incinerators, and in our bodies as micro plastics.

Perhaps by encouraging staff, to always assume reusable first, then single use plastic after only when asked. Or staff can ask, explicitly, will you be enjoying your coffee here? Then we will put it in a reusable mug.

We all must be working to make the plastic waste crisis visible to all, and therefore approachable to all. And it starts with awesome shops like this leveraging their power to support customers in treating this environment better.

By 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. Help us help our ecosystems by educating customers in a welcoming and empowering way. There is no reason to create plastic waste for a meal eaten on site!

Thank you for considering, and again, I so appreciate this gorgeous space, the incredibly kind staff, and the ambience you have created. With fewer single use plastics, this place would be an...

In a neighborhood that is already teeming with great coffee shops, Saturn Road is a more than worthy addition! Have been here multiple times already and I have to say the coffee is excellent! You can tell that the quality of the beans that they use is top notch and the skilled baristas sling fantastic renditions of the classics as well as their in-house specials. I particularly enjoyed the Chocolate Orange latte which retains the lightness of a latte as opposed to a heavier mocha and has a delightful orange-y kick. Can't wait to try their Pecan Praline latte next!

They also have eats which I have yet to try and the space doubles up as a bar later in the evening, which is also something I look forward to checking out.

Another thing I appreciated was that they asked everyone whether their drinks were to stay or to go. The drinks to stay were served in ceramic cups and mugs which I really liked so as to cut down on the waste and clutter of...
