Ordered takeout a few times from here and always had a great experience. If there is anything they don't have in stock they always call to let me know and ask if I would like to switch for another item. Great prices, everything is always packaged well and food tastes great. My absolute favorites are blue velvet cake, pistachio macaroon and almond croissant. White macadamia nut cookie and bagel sandwiches are also good. Will definitely order from here again.

It's rare to get coffee for $2 in this economy. Small little corner across from city college. I ordered a matcha latte and avocado BLT. Matcha wasn't bad, good balance of matcha to milk. The sandwich was a little salty to my preference. My order came out to be under $15 Many people were saying the wait is long and it did feel like a long wait for a sandwich to go. Still, a cute spot to hit in the neighborhood for quick eats by the campus.

My mom introduced me to this coffee shop when she was visiting New York and I cannot thank her enough. I choose this spot frequently over Dunkin to support the small local business here in Harlem. Great owner, amazing customer service, excellent baristas. It is right next to the college, so there is young vibes and books to read while you enjoy your coffee and BEC sandwich (which by the way is way better than the corner store from across the street). Best seasonal drinks as well! Can't wait for pumpkin spice to come back!

My bacon egg & cheese croissant was absolutely perfect, thank you! Campus breakfast spot found. They have real bacon here (the pork kind). Made my day, this place did.

Had a pretty good lunch here recently. I ordered on seamless and picked it up and it looks like the prices are higher to order through that than in store. They were really busy and it took 30! mins for my food to be ready which I was pretty annoyed by. The inside is small and they have some outdoor seating. I ordered the Italian wrap and it was good. I've had it from here before and this time wasn't as good, honestly. I also tried the spicy beef sandwich with sauce on the side. It was good but entirely fell apart so it was hard to eat. Overall, I'd say the food was good but the wait was way too long for me. It looked like a lot of people were getting coffee and special drinks so maybe I'll try one instead next time.

This was my first time here. I'm visiting a friend that lives close and she goes here a lot. I got the pastrami, turkey, and Swiss panini. Honestly, it would have been better with pickles but it was really good. I got a side of bbq chips and to drink I got the iced chai with almond milk. Everything was so good but the chai is incredible! I'm very picky when it comes to my chai but this is one of the best I've ever had. There is one place in the town I live that keeps the #1 spot of all time but this is a VERY close second. I've tried dozens of chais so that is a pretty big statement from me. Get it and thank me later. 10/10 go here.
