A new coffee shop that I'm in love with, near my job. I visit frequently to get a BonTree latte or…read morecardamom latte. It's a very busy cafe because people love to hang inside... it's super cozy to lounge around in. But despite it being busy, the guys working behind the counter work quickly to get you your order. There are some coffee choices that don't have a dairy alternative option so take notice of that and ask questions when you order. They have oat milk and I always get that with my lattes. If I just want straight up espresso than obviously... no need to worry about milk! Lol. I always eye their pastries and bread but I have yet to get others... I've only ever gotten their sabayah here and I love it. Make sure you ask for it warmed up. Their lattes are pretty classic to how Yemeni cafes do it. If you're not used to Yemeni cafes, the coffee is strong and bold; has a great nutty taste to it along with it. All in all, a great place to lounge at but also doubles as a fabulous grab and go spot for coffee and some treats.

I dropped by because I was really interested in trying their pandan latte. Definitely pricier at $8 but their normal latte is $5 which is about average for the neighborhood.

My wife had egg white and spinach omlette and I had an egg salad sandwich with tomato on brioche bread with side of macaroni salad, The portions and price were reasonable and we will be sure to come back and try their famous pancakes !

A waiter arrived with slices of bread. I asked if it was toasted and he replied: Oh, you wanted it toasted? I told him I did. The toast only arrived a long time later when I asked about it. I was almost done with my meal. It was cold and had obviously been sitting on a counter somewhere. After our meal, a waitress came by with the bill on an electronic device. My 85-year-old brother signed the device without looking closely. He went to buy cookies at the counter and was told the bill was still open and had not been paid. It turns out that the waitress had presented him with another table's bill - $20 higher than our bill was. So mediocre food AND incompetent and disinterested staff. I will not go back.

The ambience is super cozy and quaint with a touch of grandma chic aesthetic. While the cafe is super small, it's super well decorated and the seating is really comfortable. Can't wait to stop by again when I'm in the area

My friend got the rose velvet latte and she agreed it was also a very good latte. The barista was very kind as well. It's a pretty small spot to grab a seat and read or chat with a friend. All the seats were taken inside and we had to squeeze around a bit, but overall a really good spot for a latte!

This spot kept popping up, so I checked it out--definitely didn't disappoint. Got a matcha and the big strawberry pastry stuffed with jam and soft cake. And yeah... you need a fork lol. The crunchy chocolate shell is actually really good. Coffee is moderately priced, pastries are a little expensive--but that's NYC + a viral trend. It gets pretty busy during the day with people working, so just a heads up.

It's a grab-and-go spot and I just have to rave about their cinnamon croissant roll ($6.50). The pastry was so good that I can't even imagine how scrumptious it would be when heated.

Today, the morning of 8/7, there was no one else in line behind me, but the woman making coffee barely greeted me. I smiled and and said, hello. I received a blank stare and cold hello back. When my drink was ready, she almost tossed it on the counter and walked away without a smile, thank you, or pleasantry. While the pistachio cornetti was good, the unfriendly gives me pause. There are too many solid cafe options on Vanderbilt, to deal with someone who behaves as if they are doing me a favor when I am the one paying. She could take a note from those at Ciao Gloria and Canyon Coffee.
