"One of the best specialty coffee shops in Brooklyn. Simple menu selection with a great variety of coffee. The pour overs are incredible and totally worth trying (personal favorite was the Ethiopia one), and if you’re coming from far away like I did I’d also recommend to grab a bag to brew at home. Seating area is pretty small and the lines are long so it was pretty hard to find seating. Staff is all super nice and attentive. Will definitely be coming back."

"I waited outside in line, in the cold this weekend, in an attempt to check out a new and interesting coffee shop. I'm not a coffee purist, I like lattes with unique homemade syrups, and after speaking with the lady at the counter I went with the breve white. I thought it was going to be topped with a thick layer of cloud like cream. It was more like 1/2 a cup of coffee with several spoonfuls of cream on top. Well that was ok, I guess I didn't understand the description as long as it tasted great. Sadly it did not! The cream was great, I could have sipped that away but the coffee was so tart and tangy, I couldn't drink it, it was too gross 😟 Eventually I gave up trying to make myself drink it and the friendly lady at the register replaced it with a vanilla bean latte, great! I'd have my interesting latte, but after I received it, it really just tasted like coffee on its own. As I drank it, I searched for an interesting flavor and just enjoyed a well made mostly coffee flavored latte. When I got to the bottom 1/4 of the cup, i was hit with vanilla bean flavor and the slight grainieness of vanilla beans! If it could have been blended at the beginning so that the whole latte tasted like vanilla bean, it would have been great. Either it wasn't blended well and the vanilla immediately sunk to the bottom, or they never blended the vanilla into the coffee and oat milk to begin with 😔 I left the cup with the bottom coated with vanilla beans...."

"Maru coffee is a LA based brand well known for their drinks, this is their first one located in the NYC area. This place was busy, but they still made orders quickly. There's a bathroom/restroom in the back for patrons, and a lot of natural lighting and seating inside. The matcha had a great taste, probably the best matcha we had during this weekend we were in NYC. The pastries were also good, though the croissant was pretty standard, the canelé was good and tasty."

"We absolutely loved our experience here. The coffee itself is excellent, but what makes it even more special is the overall experience of enjoying it. Every little detail is thoughtfully taken care of, and those small touches make a big difference for visitors. The atmosphere is beautiful and carries a charm that instantly reminded me of the time I visited cafés in Seoul—it truly felt like being transported back in time. A wonderful spot for both great coffee and a memorable vibe."

"What can I say, everything here is perfect. From the beautiful, minimalist space, to friendly, calm staffs, to their delicious and high quality coffee. I had the pour over, the regular espresso latte, and the signature Vanilla Bean latte, each time it satisfied me. Absolutely my favorite place to get coffee from now on."
