Little, this cafe most certainly is, but it adds to its considerable charm. I’ve been by a couple of time and the staff have always been very warm and welcoming. This most recent visit I was able to snag one of their limited tables. They a couple of signs up, asking customers to limit their time spent at a table to 45 minutes to accommodate others. Makes sense. At one point m, well within my 45min window, it did start to fill up and get busy. But the rush passed quickly and mostly I was the only customer present with maybe one other at a time. The owner of the cafe kept moving the sign so it was closer and closer to me and at one point even approached my table, pointing to the sign and asking for me to leave. I asked him if I was keeping the table from anyone else (I was the only customer at this point) and he threw up his hands and yelled “I knew you were going to say that!”. I do try to be conscious of others and was prepared to leave if more people came in but it was very apparent that he simply wanted me out. How unprofessional and inhospitable. While little it may be, sweet is not a word I would use to...
Read moreWhat a lovely little gem in Brooklyn. This café is a welcome reprieve from the hustle and bustle of the city and is such a cute little neighborhood haunt with a cozy feel. Unlike many coffee shops that double up as offices, the space is designed with a lot of intentionality and details—plants galore, a beautiful sidewalk seating area that will make your forget you’re in NYC, a solid kitchen crew that cooks everything with love, and a super friendly barista staff that goes out of their way to accommodate.
The space, while small, also doubles up as a restaurant and has delightful sweet and savory crepes with Persian spices and unique combos not found in more fast-food centric coffee shops. The roasted chicken crepe and shakshuka are delectable. Everything I’ve tried here tastes extremely fresh and you’ll often find the owners breezing through to stock up on locally sourced groceries through the day.
On a hot day, their frothy chai, iced cappuccino, and ceremonial grade matcha are among some of my faves. A favorite amongst...
Read moreVery nice and quiet place. I was able to meet the owner since he was working on my own creation himself. The cashier was very polite and cute. And when you come here. Do NOT expect a cheap quick grab and go sandwich. When you come here, you are paying for art LITERALLY. I ordered the roasted chicken sandwich. And wow… I was blown away at the first bite. Chicken was fantastic, roasted tomatoes where amazing AND DONT EVEN START ON THE PESTO. It’s the best I have ever had in my life. They also give out free lemon water if needed. And I know that if they keep like this they will grow 10x. If I could only have one comment it would be that the pricing is on the more expense side. Every sandwich is 20 dollars more or less. I went by myself, but if I was to go with family or friends, you could easily slip and pay 100+ for 4 people. Furthermore besides that it was the pure love. Everything from the micromanaging that every bite had tomato’s and pesto sauce was all over my hands. I would 100% come back...
