Get the pourover or espresso drink. Drip is pretty hard to drink.
Wouldn't call it the best in BK, but their signature drink (the maple latte) is worth a trip.
Sara 🌈⚔🍾September 4, 2014The staff was closing up but they happily sold me coffee. Super sweet crew.
If you're in the mood for a snack, don't get it here, walk down the block to Blue Sky Bakery for an amazing muffin!
rich masioAugust 15, 2015Though my last tip said the coffee is good, I just ordered a $5 iced latte that was in an 8oz cup. Fail.

Strongest coffee in the Slope. Been going since day 1. Shit show on weekends but weekdays seem to work out OK
Sammi LimAugust 9, 2011Sorry, Blue Bottle still takes the cake. And speaking of cake, they could use a new supplier of baked goods!
- Strong like bull. Bring cash or friends you're willing to buy coffee for.
shaunaSeptember 23, 2013Don't ever bother. There is abso no ambiance. They play horrible music so loud so their patrons don't hang about. The coffee is bitter and way too strong. What a shame.

eric mortensenNovember 9, 2010Best espresso roast in he city. Pick up a bag of beans roasted just 24 hours ago!
Best coffee in Brooklyn Hands Down. Great staff as well
Devon SmithApril 6, 2011Coffee's expensive but good. Wifi doesn't work. Not super cozy for working all day
ShawnieFebruary 2, 2013I really don't get the hype about this place. It's small, dark, the hot chocolate is bland and the music is ridiculously loud.
