The staff and owner here are extremely rude and border line problematic. I hope Columbia reviews them and removes them from campus in all honesty. I do not think this coffee shop adds any value to the community with its over priced and rude service.

I loved the atmosphere here and the food and drinks were delicious, and reasonably priced for the portion size. The staff were so sweet and made our orders very quickly despite it being so busy. Definitely will come back again.

Great coffee and lattes, nice baristas and a perfect atmosphere. Lots of space for sitting. Highly recommend the croissant and lox.

They do not care about your dietary restrictions or allergies at all. I ordered a sandwich here and specifically asked to sub bacon for avocado, which the person taking the order kindly wrote down - this was not their fault. Then I received the sandwich with bacon, which is fine, mistakes happen and they are busy. I return it and they apologize, give it back to the cooks, who then remove the bacon and hand it straight back. I should not have to spell out the importance of dietary restrictions, or tell them whether its a religious reason or deathly allergy for them to take this seriously. Absolutely appalled they'd assume we're idiots and get away with this type of negligence. For this they offered a "free cookie token". Definitely never coming back. If you have a food allergy, hope they decide to take you seriously that day and not just take whatever item it is off the top and sneak it back.

Great spot for studying, although they do limit having your computer out at certain times. Their coffee is fresh and smooth as well.

First and last time I order a coffee from this place.

I ordered a take away cappuccino, and they served it in a mug. When I clarified it was for take away (which was exactly what I said when I ordered), the barista just poured the coffee in a take away cup. Not even an apology. The barista just said “here you go, that’s yours”.

The coffee was cold and served to me 3/4 full in a take away cup. Worst $5.50 on coffee I have ever spent.

Love the staff (Matt is my fav!), cool vibe, golden turmeric is rich, silky. Food is tasty, too!

This place is more like a super coffee shop! Simply huge space, all glass, sleek and modern. I had a matcha latte and it was perfect. They have so much more to offer however - cold brew, espresso, amazing pastries. Plus one of the biggest money trees you will ever see. A definite go to spot in the area. Enjoy

Lovely place with great tasting food and drinks. The music can be nice too. I appreciate the addition of no laptop zones.

This place has the best latte in NYC. So good and the coffee isn’t bitter. Too bad I don’t live around here or it would be my go to spot. I also had the BLT and was so tasty. Nothing bad to say but the place does get cold because of so many doors.

Terrible staff and service. Extremely rude management. Would not recommend their sub par food either.

Cool open floor plan. Generally easy to grab a seat. Love the dedicated “no computer”tables in the center of the shop. Breakfast sandwiches are large and filling. Baristas were excellent and our lattes were perfect.

You have stand guard by the counter after ordering your food as someone else will inevitably take what you ordered, whether intentional or not. The staff seems aware that this happens but doesn't seem to care. They offered me someone else different food that was sitting out for 20 minutes, and a free drink next time for my troubles. No, thanks. I'll just wait another 5 minutes while you figure out how to give me a refund.

Absolutely loved the high-end coffee bar experience! The atmosphere is fantastic, and the staff's knowledge and helpfulness made the visit even more enjoyable. The El Barrio sandwich, avocado toast, Julius salad, BLT, and the out-of-this-world chocolate chip cookie were all highlights. And, of course, the coffee was exceptional. A must-visit for any coffee and food enthusiast! ️️️️️

Visited on a Sunday evening to get some “adulting” done and was greeted by a humming atmosphere replete with great lighting, seating, and the aromas of some tasty food. Ordered a cold brew and enjoyed it with live music which may or may not be ideal if you’re hoping to get into flow. The temp inside was cooler than I expected but then I realized I was sitting on top of a vent but otherwise, felt cozy during my stay. The menu items all sounded great and I’ll return to try some and their wine offerings.
