From Google Maps reviews.
Rustic Cafe in the lower East side. They rescued the anitque tin ceiling. That's really cool to see. The coffee is good here. The room is really wonderful. Nice place to sit and relax or do a little work during the day. This sidewalk seating as well. I've been
This is one of the most welcoming and relaxed cafes in the city. The coffee is excellent, and the pastries are made fresh daily. What I think really makes Ost special though is the friendly staff, the sense of community, the calming atmosphere and the endless parade of dogs that come through on a daily basis. Grab a cup of coffee and sit out front on a nice day, you won't regret it.
Great little place out in south of Manhattan. Very dog friendly and most people don’t mind sharing a table. The baristas are very knowledgeable and affable and talked with me about television. It’s also warm inside and they let you use the bathroom if you get coffee.
