"Great experience all around! I stopped by the coffee shop and was really impressed great coffee, welcoming atmosphere, and friendly service. You can tell they take pride in what they do. I also love that the same ownership runs one of the best real estate brokerages in the area. It’s rare to see the same level of professionalism and quality in both hospitality and real estate. Absolutely recommend!"

"We’ve been going here every weekend morning for their everything croissant and coffee. We love them. The morning staff have been really wonderful. We had a snowy day out and went on the Sunday afternoon for a change. There was only one staff member and the whole time he was only fussed about our toddler having picked up a Christmas tree bauble. Just a regular red tree decoration that had fallen from the tree. He told us 4 times that ‚ma‘am it’s not a toy‘ and I may or may not agree with that. And I’d love to see him try to take away something like that from a toddler before they’ve had their curiosity fill. But really 4 times in 10 minutes? For a place that’s in a resident real estate office with two schools and day care centres next door, that was such an oddly unwelcoming thing to latch on to… a toddler holding a Christmas tree bauble. This server needs to move to some land with no kids. And he probably emerged a fully grown lad at 18 never having been a kid at all."

"Such a nice vibe in this place and the staff is super friendly and accommodating. I love their cold brew - it’s very smooth with a nice flavor. I like that it gives a more residential vibe too which makes it feel off the beaten path but still nice and taken care of. There is decent seating inside and outside and they have a nice pastry case."

"I’m rarely if ever on Riverside Blvd. it’s a residential area with tall buildings and doorman. Way over my pay scale. Nestled within this community is the Blu Café. Business brought me over here today, and it’s a really nice place to have a meeting. Theirs ample parking during the day also. On sunny warm days the park is but a few steps away. I got a latte and it was wonderfully perfect. Theirs a nice selection of pastries but the cinnamon coffee cake is awesome. I bought two slices. It was really yummy. Theirs soft music playing in the background and it won’t distract you with whatever task you’re doing or just relaxing. The baristas, Gio and Rahim are friendly and attentive. Nice people. I’ll definitely have more meetings here in the future. #kingofcoffeenyc #kingofmarijuananyc #sankofatafari #lionofthebx #nyccoffee #nyc #riversideblvd"

"Not very good espresso, beans tasted a little burnt. The large iced americano is $5.75 and it’s only 2 shots. Not sure what the point of getting a large is, when it’s just more water"
