I needed a coffee shop open later 6 so I googled and happened to find this place. I’m so glad I did! It was really welcoming and a chill vibe. The staff is super chill. The drinks I think are reasonably priced and they taste good. The interior aesthetic is fun. The front half is like an IKEA cafeteria and the back half is like a vintage store, like Mother of Junk in Brooklyn. It’s really interesting and enjoyable. Tho maybe air out the back room a little. It smells a bit musty like a vintage store and I don’t think that’s the goal for a cafe. But maybe, who knows? This will be a go-to spot for me tho.

This place has excellent coffee, vibes, and aesthetics. And usually you don't get all of that together, but honestly every cup here is made special - my go to is a cortado - and the barista is talented, coffee extraction is excellent. You have two area with the ask being no laptop zone, and the first part of the coffee shop you can have your laptop. Wifi is available as well, lots of room. The back no laptop area is best place to sit and read a good book!

Excellent atmosphere and good food and drinks. We ordered the chicken panini, a cold brew coffee, and a latte. All tasted delicious and were served quickly. The place has a cozy backroom, and it was a nice touch that no computer workers are allowed back there. Good WiFi connection with a password that reiterates the place's backroom rule. An oasis in Washington Heights.

Coffee was good, food was alright, service wasn’t great as they forgot my order and I don’t love the way some of the staff speak to the customers. I live right around the corner so I’ll probably be back but in all likelihood, not regularly. When you come into a neighborhood like this, good customer service is just as important as good food/drinks.

So excited to discover this amazing cafe in my community. Especially, the computer free zone is so comfortable to stay with the antique furniture. A group of people enjoy talking at the big table but it won’t bother me at all. I love this place.

Very great addition to the Washington heights area! I love the energy of the back room and it’s a great place to get some reading done and unwind. My only quarrel is that it took 24 minutes for them to heat up a pre-made ham sandwich when they weren’t very busy with orders (I only know how long it took because I was timing my laundry nearby) so I hope that was a one time occurance lol. But definitely check it out!

  • Joe Wehry

Lovely atmosphere with ample space to enjoy coffee and do some computer work in front, or head to the back for relaxed mixed-furniture-living-room-loft-tech-free socializing and caffeination. The paninis are delish.

Amazing espresso but the owner can be a bit rude and will likely greet you with unsolicited comments about your coffee order. As for the other baristas, they’re quite delightful. Pastries are okay, nothing special. Ambiance gets a 10/10. There’s a back room, the speakeasy, which is laptop/device free, and the primary room which offers a clean and inviting atmosphere for work/studying.

  • Asher Bronstein

One of the coolest cafes I've ever been too! The front is great for laptop work, the back is laptop free and filled with so many interesting pieces of art, furniture, and books. Great place to get lost in a book or a conversation on the couch. Their coffee is delicious and picks me up every time! This place is a treasure.

A new cafe opened in Washington heights is pretty amazing. A good place to relax and chill after a long day at work/school. The cozy environment all around makes it calming for studying. And the back of the cafe is a good place for a hangout with friends with its decorations and it’s peaceful surroundings. Will definitely be coming here again!!

Great atmosphere. I needed a place to study and it was perfect. I ordered an almomd croissant. It was delicious. The staff was really nice too. They also had a dog, so it made the entire place lovelier whenever she came by.

So cool it hurts! This is the type of cafe you would expect to find in the East Village or Williamsburg. But here it is in Washington/Hamilton Heights. There are two spaces, one for computer use and the other for reading and chatting. You need to come here right away!!

Very good coffee and cute space but older man working there was mean and kicked me out of main seating area for having a laptop, despite lots of people working on tablets in that area (which is functionally the same thing as a laptop). Also I'm not sure if he worked there or was just a jerk.

A hidden gem in Washington heights. The shop is bigger than you could think and the backroom is a computer free zone. Staff is friendly and efficient. Large choice of beverage with free refill. It's pleasant to be able to drink a macchiato in a real cup. Decoration is sober but quite nice.

Service always with a smile but slow. I almost wish they would say “We’re gonna need a good 7 minutes to get this drink out to you.” Also, there is something about the owner. His attitude is defensive and I do not know why. I almost don’t want to come in when he’s there.

Great atmosphere in the back room, super cozy, and eclectic, will def come back for that. front room is a bit like a a row of cubicles when everyone is lined up with their computers. Very very sweet staff. Very much want this place to succeed!! Drip coffee was weak and cold and the pastries a little stale :/

  • Charles Greene

Very lively spot that keeps computer work separate from social area so you can work when you need to but also lets you spread your social wings when you're ready to let go.

Such a cute coffee bar that the neighborhood desperately needed! However, nearly every time I visit the price changes. For nearly $7, I think I will visit a more upscale spot further downtown. The staff is amazing, though!

⭐️Ambiance is peaceful. Great music for studying and homework, coffee is great. The almond croissant is so good! There is a computer free-zone in the back which is so unique. So basically it’s the perfect spot :)
