Stopped by to grab coffee after placing food order at our local mexican food place nearby to grab a quick coffee and was pleasantly surprised! The interior is nice and spacious and clean. The baristas are super nice and very much enjoyed grabbing coffee. My normal go to is usually just a cortado or black coffee, while my bf likes milkier things like lattes, but their seasonal drinks were super interesting so we got one of those. Mine : Black Forest : espresso + tonic + mocha + vanilla + milk + cherry bitters His : Roasted : Hojicha + vanilla syrup + maple syrup + milk I am a sucker for espresso tonic and also dark chocolate. I really enjoyed my drink. The bitters of chocolate and espresso with the hint of cherry. This was a yum for me! Roasted was very milky and sweet since it had 2 syrups I am assuming, but id recommend it only if you want something super creamy and milky. Overall great local coffee shop to have in the neighborhood. Its great having more options. Would I travel to bed stuy to try it? No. But if I am in bedstuy or nearby and wanted coffee ? Absolutely! Would definitely come back again and having this in our local coffee shop rotation.

Cute and cozy bare bones coffee shop with a good selection of pastries. The coffee menu is limited. They don't have any specialty lattes or anything like that. I noticed they also had a good selection of fresh teas. They serve Devocion coffee here which is one of my favorites. I got a great iced latte and a real good yogurt blueberry muffin. The service was friendly and efficient. Their prices are standard for a coffee shop. Would definitely come back here again.

My local cafe ! I've never gotten a bad drink from here, from matcha to quad shot lattes they're always consistent ! One of the few places that has such great teas and cozy vibes inside. The service is great they're quick & keep the place spotless every visit I've ever been. If you see the coconut ube cookie, get it.

Arrived on a cozy morning and it was fairly busy. Ordered the iced matcha latte with oat milk, there are a few seats inside with outdoor seating. One of my favorite coffee spots in the neighborhood. Would recommend trying the seasonal drinks!

Amazing coffee shop in BedStuy. I get the iced matcha latte with almond milk (add 2-3 brown sugar cubes) and I semi-crush the cubes. The matcha is prepared to each order and tastes amazing. Come by and see why it's such a favorite in the neighborhood

I had the best hot chocolate I've had in a long time! Friendly staff and overall great service. I love the environment of the coffee shop. Definitely recommend!

This is a great new spot in Bed Stuy. It's super cute and sleek. Very minimalist except for some plants, but the design is cool. It reminds of of the place that used to be a few blocks away, Domicile. The staff are great and even with their large audience they still sometimes remember your drink order. They have outdoor seating and some indoor tables both a community table and some private ones. They always have the alternative milks for those of us "alternative" people and they even allow doggies to be parked up outside. It's a nice vibe there every time even when I'm just rushing to get a drink and get out. They frequently have something like a candle making the place feel and smell warm too. They also have matcha they do well and some pastries and other local products that match their aesthetic. Definitely go and get your morning coffee and vibe reset here.
