What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"Such a cute little coffee shop in the heart of Chelsea! The staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming and the chocolate pie was delish. The cozy atmosphere makes it the perfect spot to relax or work remotely. Can’t wait to come back! ☕️✨"
"I had mix feelings about this place. Things look good but the attitude of the staff team was hard to handle and make people want to leave early. It might depend on how you like the way they interact with customers but it was too harsh for me as a first-time visitor. Cappuccino was watery, no foam on top."
"Love this place! The staff is always great and the food and coffee are consistently on point. That said, during my last visit, the experience was a bit off. I met a friend around 3:10 PM for coffee and a quick snack, and while placing our order was easy, we were approached four separate times by different people letting us know about a writers’ event happening in the space. I completely understand giving guests a heads-up once, but after the third and fourth time it started to feel disorganized and a little uncomfortable—especially since we had already purchased food. I’ll definitely be back for my favorite cookies, but I hope future events are communicated in a smoother way so regular patrons don’t feel out of place."
"Such an incredible atmosphere and a unique idea, pies!!! Espresso was strong and service was good to. Reasonable prices too! Which is hard to come by. I’m hoping they rotate the pies. I’m looking forward to maybe tasting a banana dulce? (Wink wink, owners if you’re reading this)"
"As adorable as a Sleeping Cat! Roomy and full of wooden seats and comfy chairs, homemade pies and scones and their strawberry shortcake is so tasty and refreshing, topped with vanilla cream, strawberries, on their scones. Their iced latte was also so delicious! Would come back and work from here. Trying their pies next. 5 stars!!!"
"An adorable and cozy cafe with plenty of seating and space, it's perfect for quiet study and work. The "Sleeping Cat" is an excellent name, as the ambiance..."
