"Amazing atmosphere, coffee, and pastries!! I enjoyed my vanilla iced latte and there is plenty of seating with A/C. There is much to choose from the pastry case so i hope to be back soon to try them all :) they are all fresh and rotated daily Thank you for the amazing experience ❤️"

"I found this place with my friend and I really loved it. I ordered a Mocha. They use Stumptown coffee and it was delicious. I was surprised that they make their own pastries. That's why everything looked just so fresh. I would definitely recommend this place."

"I saw this coffee shop when I was walking with my friend around Upper West 72nd. We went inside to check it out and we loved it so much. It's a nice and cozy coffee shop. I got a cappuccino and it was the best coffee I've had in a long time. And even though there was a line, the service was very fast, and the barista was very friendly. We also bought gluten-free banana bread to share, it was very fresh and delicious. I’m so happy that we found this place. We will definitely come back."

"I love this place, i was regular weekend customer at 93rd and Columbus until I found out they have another location on 72nd. Now its my regular every day coffee spot. It’s just the place where you go grab your coffee, they serve you with smile and loudly wish you an amazing day. Its just one of those places they make your day. I highly recommend it if you live in the neighborhood!!!!"

"It’s been a while (read never) since I’ve visited a sleepy coffee shop and actually approached by a condescending barista asking if I “need anything” since apparently I can’t sit for 10 min without ordering something? So, Dear Picky Barista, I’m not sure what’s the coffee shop culture here but it certainly differs from others in NYC. I must ask, why is the staff (that one lady) so unpleasant? Was it my “The Arabs” book that so offended her? I ended up getting your dry, days old banana bread, which, really would be better served to the rodents outside but I guess policy is policy and I did want to sit somewhere while I typed this. I think you should amend your “no outside food”to include “we’re not your friendly neighbourhood coffee shop - don’t sit here unless you buy something “ At least the customer would be warned. To be fair I’ve been here on a few other occasions and my suggestion? Just stick to coffee? It’s…decent enough. And perhaps a staff refresher on how to be nice to people."
