The falafel isn't falafel, but it's worth coming here just for it.
Kelli YappOctober 22, 2015
Coffee is good. Go scope out a table pre 11a when they start serving brunch.
Sydney FriedmanFebruary 8, 2015
Great coffee on the LES

Vietnamese iced coffee on tap and friendly service!

Avocados del sur with flatbread and two poached eggs
Blair MikelsJanuary 9, 2014
Pine nut shortbread is spicy and their pour-over's perfect match. Delicious!
Jason AstonDecember 11, 2017
Bypass the hot chocolate. It’s the most expensive drink on the menu and is truly unimaginative and underwhelming. Supposedly it’s made from the brownie batter but just tastes like Swiss Miss.
Jort PosselMay 9, 2015
Shared 1st place for Cortado in NYC (with Birch UWS)

Take a Mocha! It's a cafe latte with cocolate syrup.

Perfect if you like small spaces and slow service. The Vietnamese iced coffee is great though.

Seating is limited during the weekend morning hours.

Grab an iced Mexican Mocha on a hot city day for a refreshing pick me up.
Amanda NogueiraAugust 25, 2018
I had great expectations, but the Devils Chicken was awful. The seasoning of the sweet and sour cabbage was totally wrong and too acid.
Joseph VJuly 31, 2014
Potentially one of the best cafés in all NYC.
JillianOctober 12, 2016
Solid cup of coffee but sadly have always run into a line mob scene
CailinJanuary 15, 2015

Great coffee and light meals
Bobby WalkerJuly 30, 2016
Filthy restaurant, couldn't be more turned off the 'California health kick vibe'.
Tanni XuJuly 29, 2014
The only salad I'll eat voluntarily is the kale salad.
Michelle DickterMay 7, 2014
Friendly. Best service. Thanks for the amazing class.
Stuart AdlerSeptember 11, 2016
Small healthy fare
