    One of TK's favorite hang out spots! Rustic-steampunk vibe and comfy seats- if you are looking for a place with delicious cocktails and bartenders who takes their craft seriously- this is it!

    Best cocktails in the hood and less crowded than sister bar Dutch Kills. The Frantic Atlantic is an awesome off-menu summer cocktail made with pisco, st germain, grapefruit and lime!

    Had the pleasure of enjoying a drink here Saturday. One of the specials was a Banana Kentucky Mule and OH MY was it the best cocktail ever. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!

    This is really two places: during the day, it's a cozy little coffee shop with plenty of room to hang out. At night, it turns into quite the gastropub/speakeasy. The bartenders are great.

    Excellent coffee shop serving breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks. Not your typical restaurant but a perfect hangout place to spend hours working, reading or simply browsing your phone

    Drinks are AMAZING. The incredibly talented bartender Jonathan is brilliant. His drinks were outstanding. Each one delicious, never better than another, but equally fantastic with different flavors.

    Roasting your own is a tricky business, but this coffee really blew me away. It wasn't even pourover and is still one of the best I've had in NYC. Amazing music and space as well.

    Killer americanos. If you see the ham and Gruyere croissant get it, they move fast. Cocktails are good and reasonably price ever since they cut ties with the Dutch Kills guys.

    Great coffee, however it's atmosphere lately had been awful pumping random trendy music with a LOUD bass so that you can barely hold conversation or sit an enjoy the coffee. Sounds like an H&M inside

    Coffee shop by day, mixologist style bar by night. Seriously, this bartender chips his own ice and just lit a round of shots on fire! What I'm trying to say is: DOPE cocktails.

    Rocket Fuel is worth the resulting sleepless night. The only con is that it's hard to savor. Top half is gone in 60 seconds more or less.

    The Rocket Fuel is delicious. Found an outlet at the high tables by the windows. Have to enter an email address to connect to the Wi-Fi but it can be fake. No email with a link to click or anything.

    Try the Kona Swizzle if you're a coffee addict and are looking for an alcoholic beverage to get you through your night. This is the place to go to find a piece of Williamsburg in LIC.

    Voodoo Child (Vietnamese cold brew with sweetened condensed milk) is delicious, but tell them only half the ice -- 5 sips and you're done! At $4.75 you have a right to direct.

    Major bar vibe in this coffee shop. It’s pretty dark inside during the day so I wouldn’t suggest coming here if you want to do some reading. Great coffee though !

    The strawberry ice tea is real good on a hot day, but the vibe inside is weird. The place doesn't know if it's a wine bar or a coffee shop.
