"This CoMPANY SHORT CHANGES ARTIST I worked on this project for three days in 30-degree weather, commuting over an hour each way by bus while carrying 60 pounds of equipment. During that time, I completed more work than originally agreed upon, including four full panels and an additional smaller panel. Due to existing vinyl on the windows, the original design could not physically fit as planned. I communicated this clearly, improvised, and updated them throughout the process. The only unfinished element was an additional image planned for the opposite side of the building, which I was scheduled to complete the following Monday. Unfortunately, I came down with a respiratory infection and informed them that I wouldn’t be able to return. Despite the substantial amount of completed work, they chose to withhold $50 from my payment, claiming the project didn’t fully match “their vision.”mind you, I had adjusted the final price because I didn’t finish the final panel on the other side. Communication around payment was unnecessarily difficult, and the decision to short an independent artist over such a small amount was disappointing—especially for a company that claims to support and uplift people. $50 won’t break me, but the choice to withhold it speaks volumes."

"Best coffee shop in Brooklyn! The staff is so warm and kind. They always greet you with a smile and are just genuinely nice which you don't get in the service industry these days. The coffee and food is so good. I have never gotten something I did not like and they have a lot of good options for a cafe. I love all the light and real plants inside and they play the best music. I am a regular and I always see others coming back frequently which says a lot!"

"CUP is seriously such a gem. Amazing workspace vibes, tons of outlets, great lighting, and the kind of energy that makes you actually want to get stuff done. The staff are super friendly and welcoming, and the whole place just feels laid-back in the best way. I had the Berbere Turkey Mozzarella Melt and wow… so good. Flavorful, melty, just the right amount of spice and sweetness. Also, everyone here is mad chill; it’s the kind of spot where you can post up for hours and feel totally at home. Highly recommend."

"Excellent customer service. And when I was waiting for my coffee I believe the owner sitting at a table asked me if I was being taken care of, which I was. I don't mind waiting a minute or 2 but the fact that she cared to look up from what she was doing, to ask me that, says a lot about the character of who's running the place. And coffee was great as well."

"Such nice people working here. Great coffee, pastries and their lemonade is so good! Very much enjoyed my experience here & I highly recommend. Again, their staff is so friendly! I come from Chicago where everyone is so rude LOL but here, they were so friendly & inviting. New favorite spot 🤍"
