- DoubleDeuceAugust 17, 2014The prices here are amazing. Almost worth the trip to pay their low prices. A good mix of warmth & vibrance, mixed with boricua flair. Definitely worth a stop in if you find yourself en el barrio.
Harlem AmbassadorMarch 7, 2013Chai tea, pumpkin cheesecake and lite soups, sandwich and salads adorn the menu which recently changed. Film types and writers lay claim to prime seating early. But their are great Lex view.Fun events
CompassApril 25, 2014From breakfast hits like whole wheat pancakes, feta cheese empanadas to an inviting patio and weekly open mic nights, you won’t go wrong making a weekend of eating here.
New York HabitatOctober 18, 2011Dubbed the "best coffee in el barrio", this café has a friendly staff and inviting environment. Free wifi and delicious sandwiches.
Love this place. Super friendly ownership and staff. Home (and office) away from home for many. Good coffee and food, too.
AdrienneNovember 11, 2012By far my favorite cafe. Very relaxing to read or study and you can get coffee in an actual mug! ... It's the little things in life that make me happy.
Clarisel GonzalezJuly 13, 2010Boricua owned business that offers coffee, pastries, art and community events. You can bring a laptop and work on your projects. It's a good escape for students, independent workers and entrepreneurs.
Andi PerryJanuary 5, 2013I always grab a seat against the back wall: just to take in the atmosphere. Loving the new menu BTW
Steve GianacaJune 23, 2012Amazing food. Try the smoothies; they use syrup, real fruit and lots of milk. Won't help your waistline but they are fantastic!
Awesome Lil Cafe. Staff is always friendly and tasty treats! A wee bit pricey but well worth it!
The food is pretty good. The coffee is alright. This place aims to be a neighborhood café, and it doesn't disappoint on that regard. They often font have wifi though and outlets are w commodity.
Vince WongJanuary 3, 2015For non-coffee drinkers such as myself, the Vanilla Chai is a rockin' alternative!
Jackie VaughanNovember 22, 2011Staff is super friendly, and the coffee is bomb. Wish I lived a little closer, this would be my spot.
Krista Sande-KerbackApril 1, 2012Tasty salads and sandwiches, free wifi, and a good spot to get some work done.
Try the food some great options and recent additions like dulce de leche treats are great ! Cozy neighborhood coffee shop!
Lola RiosJuly 10, 2011Things u must do here: spicy chai, hot or cold; guava muffins; attend open mic nights.
Brandon GarciaJuly 28, 2014Only reason this is the best cafe in elBarrio is because it's the only one.
Try the Café Con Leche - #coffee #gentrifierscafe #spanishharlem #leche
Must have: SPICY CHAI. You can never go wrong, delicious every time.
Law DaddySeptember 3, 2011The dude there makes the BEST turkey sandwiches with a bomb berry dressing.
nicest staff and absolutely the best iced coffee I've had in the city! :)
Great little coffee shop but ladies beware, the owners' brother tends to be overly friendly with the female customers.
Lexington AvenueOctober 27, 2010Try the guava corn muffins...they even have minis for those watching their intake lol
