HillelJanuary 10, 2018Pao di quiejo (pdq) which is a puffed bready, lightly eggy and cheesy ball of deliciousness must be tried. And the heart of palm mini empanadas (empadinha) is really good too.
Jon SpiegelJanuary 9, 2016This place is the real deal!! Their coffee is excellent but that only the tip of the iceberg. From the PDQ to their way above average aćai bowl this is an UES gem. Very much recommended to all!
Eaters HeavenMarch 21, 2016Macchiato & whole wheat pear bread, perfectly sweet. Not too much and not too little. Lots to choose from. Tip: Great if you're visiting NY Presbyterian Cornell Hospital and need a break.- Eaters HeavenMarch 21, 2016Great place for a quick breakfast that is delicious and delightful. Good selection of treats and nice strong macchiatos! A touch pricey.
Lovely café .. Loved their latte also their banana chocolate muffin. There is a park with swings right in front
Great decor(swing chair), awesome coffee & great breakfast foods. Hard to find a better place to start off your Saturday with!
TingFebruary 16, 2016$3usd for this small piece of Pao de Queijo (Brazilian cheese bread) but it's yummy! Chewy and fragrant. Worth a try!
Ray LopesAugust 25, 2016Brazilian stuffed cheese-rolls (pao-de-queijo), empadas, guaraná, nice environment but don't expect a Brazilian-like padaria!
funky flavorNovember 23, 2016The chicken empada is great! A little on the dry side but worth to try.
Delicious, creative pastries and quality coffee (iced & hot). A bit pricey. Ok, it's expensive. 💁🏼
Cold brew isn't bad, good açai bowls, interesting/tasty pastries. A welcome addition to the neighborhood.
Jay FarberDecember 21, 2016Best food in all of NYC Megan is so nice and chef rockie is so talented a must have

Christian DickmannFebruary 5, 2017I should have known to not come to a bakery for an acai bowl. it wasn't bad, but I missed some fresh fruit, and nicer presentation.
Cintia GabilanJune 1, 2019Very poor service. Cachier was rude! We purchased 2 sandwiches and they arrived with a 25 min difference 😡
Marina YoshimotoJanuary 30, 2016O ambiente é lindo e aconchegante, o pão de queijo e o biscoito de polvilho são deliciosos!!!! e tem guaraná!!! 😁
