This cafe is so much better than Starbucks!!! I will never go to starbucks again! Better food, desserts, teas, and the coffee!! Plus bacon waffles!! Need I say MORE!!
Viviana GutierrezAugust 5, 2016Cupcakes and bread are ok. The "speciality" are waffles but they were not baking them "at this time". Aweful baristas, not a pinch of kindness with customers, I recommend the cupcakes to go.
Nicole VelezNovember 10, 2012The staff improved from the last time I've been there. Get anything Misugaru! Latte and the frappe tastes amazing.- JessicaMarch 10, 2015Very much like the cafes in Korea, good place to get some stuff done in their wide open place
Amy C.November 25, 2013Really enjoyed the atmosphere. It's a nice place to take a relaxing break from all the walking
Adam AveraySeptember 16, 2014Here with a laptop? Sit upstairs if you need wifi – the signal won't reach the downstairs library reliably.
Brian MichaelOctober 29, 2012Sit in the library in the back and regale other academics with your thoughts on the most recent episode of "Downton Abbey"
Matthew CaldecuttJuly 19, 2015Plenty of seating and useful wi-fi if you need to get caffeinated and catch up on work.
Kevin BlackmanMarch 25, 2012Great cafe, free private cafe wifi, convenient power along the counters! Luv it! Oh, and coffee's good too ..;-)
Julia ScariotJanuary 27, 2013Loved it! You should get anything in the menu. Everything is delicious. Starbucks no more :)
Jenn AndrewsFebruary 17, 2013Get a table in the back room of the caffe. Better lighting and cozier ambiance than the scene upstairs.
Shawn PaustianSeptember 22, 2013Really nice place with delicious drinks. I'm personally fond of the simple iced tea sweetened.
Andreas HunzikerJanuary 22, 2014Huge space and plenty of tables to get some work done. If only the internet would be faster/working.
vivienne au-yangJuly 12, 2013Bug place with great decor! Wifi password on the chalkboard above the service station. Decent coffee.
Pete D.June 8, 2013The banana walnut honey bread was insanely good. It was not drowned in syrup. Just perfect.
ColinApril 12, 2012Order medium tea. Ask for "free upgrade check-in special". Receive a large. Finish drinking. Go back and ask for more hot water. Unlimited T
Matt TaylorApril 17, 2014Grab a seat at one of the large tables, the smaller ones aren't great for working.
Maria BorodinaMarch 30, 2013One of the few places near 49th street where you can get a cup of decent espresso
Jacky CJune 27, 2013Probably the only place I like near Times Square. Feels more like a library than a coffee shop.
The food is not great for how much it costs, but the ambiance is fantastic. On a weekday afternoon, lots of space to sit and work.
Josh AndersonAugust 16, 2014Not for everybody, but the misugaru lattes are definitely worth trying. Sort of a thick sweet nutty coffee alternative.
Baristas have attitude. Tell you one thing then call you a liar when you call them on it. Great coffee if you can put up with the attitude.
Scott BloomFebruary 4, 2012Best chocolate gelato, best cappuccino, and the waffle with egg salad is unbelievable!

YOU get a forgotten order! And YOU get a forgotten order! Everyone gets a forgotten order!

"Exotic coffee shops like this are one of the reasons I love the city. A grungy coffee shop, bar and outdoor patio place all in one. The mocha MUD makes a perfect mid-afternoon Saturday coffee."
Ashley Chan - 8.8
"The vegan BLT was outstanding, the vanilla latte with oat milk was strong and smooth, and the vegan chocolate cookie was dark and rich. I can’t wait to return to this veg- and baby-friendly cafe!"
Anji P - 8.7
"The food is excellent, the menu has plenty of options and the service is friendly but it is so loud. Loud music playing on your ears when all u want is to drink your coffee in peace."
