"Adorable (& very large!) space. Had the raspberry toast which was delicious & a mocha (eh) would want to go back and try one of their recommended drinks. Staff was very nice, would definitely recommend for solo coffee date or group date!"

"Have been coming here the last couple of weeks for Jazz on Fridays (more on that later) but decided this weekend to get coffee and let me just tell you the iced oat milk mocha with caramel was one of the best drinks I’ve had in awhile. Kamaryn absolutely smashed the caffe drinks both me and my brother had. They are so talented! Such a lovely day time vibe here filled with people reading and meeting up which is so nice to see. If you are a fan of jazz I could NOT recommend coming here more. Super fun cozy vibe, amazing bar staff, great drinks and the band they currently have playing on Friday nights is truly remarkable. Brendan Mark and his band are so fun and so talented. Love this place!"

"One of the best places in Williamsburg to work remotely during the day. At night, it is still as superb with amazing music and drinks. In which you should grab some drinks from Olivia! The espresso martini, lavender gimlet, and mezcal negroni is divine from her👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾 Overall, the cafe/bar is THE vibe on the Southside of Williamsburg!"

"TLDR: extremely rude owner 👎 Attended a Monday live jazz night. The entire bar was quietly enjoying the music, but there was a gentleman in the back talking over the musicians, loudly enough that it was hard to hear the music and other patrons kept giving him silent looks. I respectfully asked him to keep it down a bit (didn’t really care that he was talking, just wanted him to lower his volume slightly). Turns out he was the owner! He rudely cut me off and informed me that the “vibe” of the bar is that people can talk over the live musicians. I respect the house rules and I’m sure that’s normally fine, but when every customer is quiet, maybe take a hint and don’t be so rude about it. If you’re reading this, drop your ego! Oh and the glass of wine I ordered was flat…! So don’t get the wine. Bartender was super chill though 11/26/25 EDIT: Regarding the owner’s response - I 100% understand that the vibe of the bar is low volume chit-chat while live music is playing. In fact, in your words: “But yes most people are respectful and just talk at a low volume. It seems to work fine and build a crowd each night.” Please let me remind you that your owner did NOT abide by these rules, in fact he was disrespectfully loud and patronizing. “Yapping a little loud” is underselling it. Rules for thee, not for me it seems? Also you neglected to address the flat wine issue. Overall, I don’t sense that any accountability is being taken here. Do better."

"We checked this place out because the reviews were promising, but I was pretty disappointed. The coffee was dull, as if the grounds were old. The atmosphere was dirty and dingy. And definitely not kid-friendly (meaning there were no high-chairs or accessible bathrooms). The avocado toast was without taste, hard to chew, and awkward to eat. But our barista was kind and pleasant."

"I came here for a friends event and didn't really know what to expect. On the plus side, the bar itself is very spacious and the bartenders were very..."
