I really love the atmosphere of this café. The coffee is delicious, and the food is thoughtfully prepared and flavorful. The natural wood interior creates a calm and grounded feeling. The smooth wooden bar feels like it quietly tells stories of people coming and going. Green plants are everywhere, bringing a sense of life and warmth to the space. This is the kind of place where you feel comfortable staying for a while, and one you’d want to come back to again. Definitely a nice spot to stop b

the staff here are honestly great. Daniel is always super fast and really nice to everyone, and he keeps things moving even when it gets busy. everyone is really friendly and the service is always quick i’ve been going to le cafe almost everyday lately and the atmosphere is amazing. it’s a really comfortable place to study or just sit and get some work done. definitely one of my favorite spots.

I don’t write many reviews, but this one is earned. I’ve been in New York since March 2022, and after a lot of searching, Volare Espresso Bar in Park Slope is my favorite coffee shop. The coffee is excellent. The food and pastries never miss. But what makes it special is the people. The staff and owners are warm, thoughtful, and genuine. Over time, they’ve become more than baristas behind a counter they’ve become friends. It’s not just a coffee shop. It’s community. And when you walk in, you c

Sometimes it’s about the experience. We were served by Cianna last night, who was absolutely delightful. She clearly enjoys her job and interacting with customers - even on the late shift when she appeared to be completely solo. Cianna was so fun, FUNNY, and personable - and the cookies were great, as expected. Keep doing a great job, girl! I hope Chip City knows this employee is a true gem.

The loukoumades were delicious -- like donut holes with an extra crunchy outside. I got the traditional style with walnut crumbles, honey, and a dusting of cinnamon. There were a few tables inside and a few tables outside. The storefront opens to the street so nice weather can be enjoyed inside & outside. The food was tasty, good music playing, the vibe was chill -- the woman who helped me was wearing literal fairy wings. It felt like a lovely peaceful breath of fresh air.

This was a shot in the dark and it ended up being exactly what we needed. The crepe recipe they use it definitely top of the line. Service is personable and relaxed. It’s a relaxing atmosphere. Our server Ayoub was attentive, nice, and delivered us this most delicious crepe. I highly recommend village crepe!

This was an interesting experience. The concept is cool and the designers definitely delivered on their vision but it just felt cold. The coffee was great and there was an excellent variety of baked goods but, once again, it felt cold. Maybe that’s what the owners wanted? I will say, it’s a great spot for those looking for some silence or a place to just think. It felt like you had to be quite which may have contributed to the cold. There were also no tables just schoolhouse style desks around

After lunch, I was passing by and stopped in as the Google reviews are very good. Inside is tiny with just a few bar stools in the front overlooking the street. But it is nice and cozy. Friendly and professional service and great music. Stayed about an hour enjoying my Americano which was made perfectly. Steady stream of customers.

It's such a cute spot. The banana foam is so good. It's a nice mix of foamy milk and the banana flavor. The strawberry matcha also has real blended strawberry. Cute cafe for a hangout or a date!

First time customer. Ordered a croissant turkey cheese and tastes great! Recommend. Also tried pistachio cream latte and I like - def want to try the other specialty drinks. Had a pleasant conversation with Caleb at the register. Finally I also ordered the blueberry lemon loaf to go. Looks delicious.

Good location. Right on park ave . Close to a lot of office buildings . You would t spot this Starbucks as it is hidden inside :). Always love Starbucks coffee but this time I tried a caramel frappe. It was ok . Was tooooo icy ! I think half of the cup was ice and only half was coffee .. service was good . Was quick . The interiors was good . But they had very few tables and few of them occupied it with their laptops working from there . Overall a good experience … 4 stars .

Just happened to walk past and saw some people on their laptops, so decided to pop in for a bit - it’s a very cute and modern setup with both indoor and outdoor seating. Love the more chill vibe that works for ‘wfh’ers, but would definitely be a nice place for an outdoor drink in the summer too.

All dogs are very friendly. The server had a very good attitude. You only need to buy a drink to get in. I bought the lemonade; the price was around $6. Their are other kind of drink. The lemonade has just the right amount of sweetness it's absolutely delicious.

Small coffee shop off the busy Wall Street area across from the stock exchange. Found it on my way from Equinox. Service was quick, no line. No seats either, it’s a grab n go type of place. So I grabbed a Americano Lrg. Comes with three shots. Just what the working man needed for the midday caffeine fix.

Staff hygiene fell short: soiled clothing, no hair covering, or unkempt nails.

The coffee shop opened a restaurant next door. I was welcomed right away when I walked in, Cesar, welcomed me right in. Greeted in English but I asked to switch to Spanish. A good foundation to Chilaquiles is the tortilla and they nailed it! The sauce was good too and you can taste that it was all made in house. I got a black cold brew, it may have been just ice coffee but it was still really good! It could be considered “pricey” but the quality of the food is worth, I can say that I didn’t leav

Coffee spot offering free-trade brews, baked goods, classes & catering in a buzzy modern space.
Fantastic experience at Joe Coffee! The shop has a great vibe with upbeat music, friendly staff, and consistently delicious drinks. I ordered the Miso Brown Butter Latte, and it exceeded all expectations—rich, balanced, and unlike anything I’ve tried at another NYC coffee shop. I also had the Nutella-filled banana bread, which was absolutely incredible. Moist, decadent, and full of flavor—one of the best pastries I’ve had in New York. The seating area is a bit tight, but there’s still enough s

Tranquil Japanese tea house offering matcha drinks and traditional sweets, plus tea ceremonies.
Visited this place to try the traditional matcha that is prepared by hand. It’s a very small place, the dining area is mostly tatami with tea wares, and there is just a big enough for a few customers to stand. You may sit on the tatami, but if you will place your feet on it, I would recommend you to remove your shoes. The shop itself is in a place where if you blink you’ll miss it. Their operating hours are limited, and I was unsure as to whether I’d be able to see the server prepare the matcha

Cafe with Stumptown coffee drinks & baked goods, sweets and sandwiches from local businesses.
Though the sandwich was only alright for the price, that doesn't change the fact that the service was excellent, the guy in there was very kind and welcoming, the iced chai latte was great, and the garden environment was a nice breath of fresh air (no pun intended) from the typical café scene. Overall, a very nice spot if you're near Prospect Park, will come back if I'm ever in the area!

This place feels like a hidden gem. The food is spectacular, especially for the price - the couscous is a must-try. With respect to service, I literally saw one of the waiters run to help an old lady get her groceries to her apartment. One of my favorite restaurants in the city.
Garbage was kept in open or leaky containers, which attracts pests.

I came there at 530 and the door was still locked. The lady act like she didnt want to open the door. I ordered my coffee and after I payed I repeated my order. She still got it wrong . I even tipped the change from my order. I got home to drink the coffee and I was passed that she gave me the wrong thing. I get the same order 5x's a week . It tasted watered down. A total waste of money. I had to settle for bodega coffee after that. I WILL NEVER EVER FREQUENT THAT DUNKIN. THEY LOST A CUSTOMER IN

This review is about sustainability! I really appreciate that you offer real mugs, plates, and glassware to your customers. By 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. And over 95% of the plastic that we produce and consume, does not actually get recycled, but rather ends up in landfills, incinerators, and in our waterways. It means a lot to me as a customer to support businesses that are mindful of the fact that Brooklyn is a waterfront community. So I am grateful for the mor

Fast service and nice, helpful staff. Mediocre coffee, and stale overpriced pastry options. They go heavy on the ice and foam, low on the coffee. Ordered a 20oz Brown Shaken Espresso, 30% was foam, 30% ice. Only 8oz of actual coffee. Very corporate, soulless design. Feels like a Starbucks knockoff with less options but competative pricing. If you want something to drink or see it along the way, not the worst option in the world, but do not come here if you expect freshly ground and brewed coffe

I loved redemption coffee. They have a really cool variety of coffee and other drinks. My wife loved that drink with turmeric for example - the golden milk. I loved my Cortado. The space is really chill. Like Manhattan, but without the 8000 people. And customer service was phenomenal, I have to give the barista credit for explaining everything to me, like which drinks I’ve added sugar in, which do. Go!

Coffee is delicious. The chicken chipotle egg sandwich is absolutely delicious and to die for. They need to bring this back. Best thing ever. Whenever I'm nearby I definitely stop by for coffee and and almond croissant. The vibe is chill. Usually the music playlist is dope too. I like going here. Again I can't emphasize enough how much I need to bring that chicken chipotle egg sandwich back. Because it's amazing.

This starbucks is amazing the atmosphere is great and the service is also fantastic, the only thing about starbucks that i am conflicted about is the fact that you need to purchase an item to get a cup of water with ice, in which the water is tap water. You might as well charge to get a water cup because of the prices of items at Starbucks. Im not mad, just disappointed.

I’ve never been to bluestone lane before but it was freezing in NYC and I was looking for a good coffee near Grand Central. The inside of the store is so nice! I knew i immediately would plan to come back, it felt so welcoming, bright, and airy even on a 12 degrees gray winter day. I ordered a mocha through the app and my drink was made pretty quickly. It was so good! My first mocha in ages and it was worth it! Truly the espresso tasted perfect, the mocha flavor was natural and the almond milk w

Smelled really clean like they just cleaned with bleach when I walked in. Lovely sweet staff & quick service. I like that their matcha & coconut milk teas with tapioca are not too sweet. Cute place on 86st.

I had the iced black sesame latte a rich profile with notes of dark cocoa and roasted walnuts. Such a smooth, well-balanced blend and definitely worth the try. Freshly crafted at Kaigo Coffee Room in Brooklyn, a low-key spot known for its precision and unique specialty drinks.

I work around this area, but a lot of the coffee shops in this northern midtown are kinda meh or the typical big coffee shop chains. I found this spot on google maps and figured I'd give it a try. I loved the cute and colorful interior design!! the assortment of baked goods and desserts looked really good here, alas i just ordered a latte. Got the Bananarama which was delicious and strong caffeine content. It was great to start the day... i was wired the rest of the work day hahah

Amazing coffee! Cozy and cute ambiance as well. Place is pretty small, maybe about 4 tables. I got an iced vanilla latte, it was super creamy. My boyfriend got an iced chai latte, which he enjoyed. Service was kind and quick as well.

Daytime cafe offering breakfast dishes along with assorted pastries, sandwiches & salads.
The atmosphere is OK – seating is available, but it’s minimal, would be OK if not busy, but when it’s busy, it’s kind of cramped. Also a little bit overpriced, but not the worst. It smells pretty good inside when you first enter. Like a cozy breakfast. The soy milk latte is decent. “The Lyris” is very tasty. Actually good proper southern biscuit. Cappuccino was way too foamy. Also the barista assumed it was “to go“ without asking and served it in a paper cup. The drip coffee was too hot and sort

I discovered Matchaful @ Clean Market through a promotion they were running with the New York Times Connections game. If you showed that you completed the daily puzzle, they offered a complimentary limited-edition four-layer drink inspired by the game’s color tiers (purple, blue, green, and yellow). It was such a creative idea. My first sip honestly surprised me. The flavor was much more earthy and natural than the typical “healthy” drinks you find at many smoothie spots. After a few sips though

I can rate food as for their drinks, since they have very decent coffee from Verve brand - haven’t had anything except their pastries and they don’t make them there. I love their Nitro Flash Brew, one of my fav coffees, and I’m a coffee lover. Staff is nice. Some of the baristas more than others, I need to get one of the baristas name who is the coolest guy. Atmosphere is good. Tables are comfortable. Only thing I don’t like is that sometimes they let sit very stranded people for hours chargin

The drinks and desserts are decent, about average, not disappointing but not impressive either. What truly stands out is the space. The café has a soaring double-height layout, as if two floors were opened up into one, paired with a full glass wall that creates a cool and expansive atmosphere. Because it faces away from the sunlight, the light that filters in is not warm or bright but a soft gray-blue tone, carrying a metallic calm and a touch of detachment. The overall mood feels slightly deca

This place is beautiful. Presentation great. This café has been going viral on social media for the blackberry pie matcha. I love matcha. Especially the earthy taste... how when done well, can be delicious with fruit flavors. So I bought the viral drink with an extra shot of matcha because I know myself. And sadly the matcha was mostly milk. The syrup was delicious, and the matcha had a beautiful bright green color. Yet you can barely taste the matcha. Therefore I give this a three star rating

Relaxed coffee shop with a retro vibe, furnishing homemade Italian-style baked goods & sweet treats.
The elegant French-inspired decor with fresh flowers and soft lighting is absolutely charming. Their almond croissant was flaky, buttery, and one of the best I’ve had in the city. Paired it with a beautifully pulled cappuccino. Staff was genuinely friendly and welcoming. Total around $10-20 per person. A lovely neighborhood cafe I’ll be returning to often!

Stopped by before an appointment and can honestly say I had a great experience. The barista Daniel was very attentive and sweet. He also checked in with everyone and I appreciated how well he was at his job and keeps the standard consistent. Every time I come in the morning, it’s always been the same energy from said barista and it makes the stop worth it.

What an inventive menu! I wanted to try the almond croissant but they were out, luckily they had a lovely pear, cardamom muffin that did the trick. Cortado was perfect. Bathroom/space not ideal but that’s ok!

This place is a super chill spot with great coffee from a local roaster. We came on a quiet day, and the server was friendly and helpful. We didn’t get any food, but it looks good, and we heard it’s also from local bakeries. The music level was also low and chill, which was nice, and WiFi was good. Definitely worth a visit. Edit: the bathroom is very clean too!

Every other worker except specifically the two hibjabi girls that work there are actually good. Not even anything racist but those two are actually the worst employees there.
