I absolutely love this place. I found the original on Smith Street not that long ago and then they announced a Park Slope location. The coffee is awesome and the people are just as awesome.
Here’s an example: I love a cortado. They have an iced version, which I never really had although I basically know it’s like an iced latte with a bit less milk.

It’s on the pricey side, but it’s worth it. The velvette drink - I get it iced - is so excellent. I typically take my coffee with milk and a little sugar, but I never need ant sweetener in their coffee because it’s so rich and not bitter! Just the best! The açaí bowl is amazing and my best friend loves the...
