Miriam BurgosMarch 17, 2013Betsy!! she is the best. she is very nice and she has a great mood!. she is the best of bene!!
Viviana GutierrezAugust 5, 2016Cupcakes and bread are ok. The "speciality" are waffles but they were not baking them "at this time". Aweful baristas, not a pinch of kindness with customers, I recommend the cupcakes to go.
A great place to go if you're having an existential crisis, since the verdict will probably be... No, you don't exist.
Andreas HunzikerJanuary 22, 2014Huge space and plenty of tables to get some work done. If only the internet would be faster/working.
Kevin BlackmanMarch 25, 2012Great cafe, free private cafe wifi, convenient power along the counters! Luv it! Oh, and coffee's good too ..;-)
Matt TaylorApril 17, 2014Grab a seat at one of the large tables, the smaller ones aren't great for working.
Brian MichaelOctober 29, 2012Sit in the library in the back and regale other academics with your thoughts on the most recent episode of "Downton Abbey"
Julia ScariotJanuary 27, 2013Loved it! You should get anything in the menu. Everything is delicious. Starbucks no more :)
vivienne au-yangJuly 12, 2013Bug place with great decor! Wifi password on the chalkboard above the service station. Decent coffee.
Jenn AndrewsFebruary 17, 2013Get a table in the back room of the caffe. Better lighting and cozier ambiance than the scene upstairs.
Shawn PaustianSeptember 22, 2013Really nice place with delicious drinks. I'm personally fond of the simple iced tea sweetened.
Pete D.June 8, 2013The banana walnut honey bread was insanely good. It was not drowned in syrup. Just perfect.
Matthew CaldecuttJuly 19, 2015Plenty of seating and useful wi-fi if you need to get caffeinated and catch up on work.
The food is not great for how much it costs, but the ambiance is fantastic. On a weekday afternoon, lots of space to sit and work.
- JessicaMarch 10, 2015Very much like the cafes in Korea, good place to get some stuff done in their wide open place
Maria BorodinaMarch 30, 2013One of the few places near 49th street where you can get a cup of decent espresso
AMACOM BooksFebruary 2, 2012Need something to read ? Check out the Book Cafe in the back. Loads of books in a variety of genres.
Josh AndersonAugust 16, 2014Not for everybody, but the misugaru lattes are definitely worth trying. Sort of a thick sweet nutty coffee alternative.
Scott BloomFebruary 4, 2012Best chocolate gelato, best cappuccino, and the waffle with egg salad is unbelievable!
Amy C.November 25, 2013Really enjoyed the atmosphere. It's a nice place to take a relaxing break from all the walking
Adam AveraySeptember 16, 2014Here with a laptop? Sit upstairs if you need wifi – the signal won't reach the downstairs library reliably.
Jacky CJune 27, 2013Probably the only place I like near Times Square. Feels more like a library than a coffee shop.
Nadia MalikSeptember 18, 2016Sub par. The pistachio dipped waffle was what I've been dreaming of. But the Broken waffle machine was inexcusable. Staff was inattentive.
Baristas have attitude. Tell you one thing then call you a liar when you call them on it. Great coffee if you can put up with the attitude.
- YOU get a forgotten order! And YOU get a forgotten order! Everyone gets a forgotten order!
The MaharlikansApril 13, 2012Waffles are amazing! Kinda worth the price. Chewy, sweet, warm and amaze!
Nigel HuckleFebruary 18, 2013"Red Velvet Latte"... You can't call something a latte if there's no espresso in it.
Alan WongFebruary 21, 2012There is like $6 worth of goat cheese in the goat cheese and peach waffle, now that's value.
Yousef GoefukMay 25, 2012Waffles are good, but a little small. They are packed to go, which is nice. Staff is friendly but they want you to order quickly.
