    Matcha latte
    Kimberly W.

    I visited for my daily matcha latte on a cold, rainy weekend day. When I entered there were only two other guest, by the time I got my drink and left, there was about 7 people in there! The customer service was amazing. The staff was super attentive and asked me questions to make sure the order was correct and made sure the confirm everything. Super nice, super kind, super fast to make the order, the customer service is great overall. I got a matcha latte with oat milk and no sweetener. My matcha latte tasted a bit too powdery/chalky for my liking, but it was overall okay. I didn't love it, but it was good enough. It's hard to get the "just right" amount of matcha powder. Too much and it's powdery/chalky. Too little and there it little to no matcha flavor. The shop was small for 7 guests to be in line to order, but there are two 2-person table seats and 4 counter seats. Inside is very cute and a nice place to just sit and hang out.

    Bacon Egg and Cheese
    Aidan O.

    Alita deserves the hype! Stopped by to order a highly raved BEC (bacon egg and cheese) and was thoroughly impressed. Perfect sweetness from the biscuit and sauce used and well cooked eggs that weren't too soft it fell apart and not too undercooked that it was dripping everywhere. The 3 person team running the show when I was in shop was phenomenal. All of whom were extremely friendly and switching between duties seamlessly. They offered another customer an extra pastry after their croissant fell apart when being picked up. The same employee ran after a woman who left forgetting she ordered a BEC. Another worker would take stops very briefly to say hello to any puppies that walked into the shop and gave them a treat. The last worker gave me a little extra egg after waiting ~15 mins for the BEC. Tip: you can call ahead! Small shop! A couple seats inside and out if you want to take a little break. And it's extremely well air conditioned! Great joint, I'll be back next time to try the coffee :)

    BEC
    Emily G.

    Great pit stop for coffeee/breakfast! They have punch cards but I didn't know this the first time I went and had to ask for one the second time. I think it's 1 free drink after 8? Service seems friendly and you can call in to order ahead. Foods I've tried: BEC - delicious! It has a sweet sauce which I was not expecting (didn't really read the ingredients) Croissant - delicious and flaky, I wished it was bigger!! Its got that slight sweet glaze on top Olive oil cake - sooooooo good, love the lemon Drinks I've tried: Coffee - so far my favorite in the area. Its strong and has a fruity/sour/acidic flavor, which I've grown to like BUT I know a lot of people don't. Dirty chai - my biggest disappointment here :( just tasted really sour (like the coffee sour but worse) and wasn't my cup of tea Another disappointment - oat milk is $1.25 extra, which is by far the most expensive I've seen for milk substitute

    Latte and chocolate chip cookie
    Zoe S.

    Wow! This is a little hidden gem. This is probably the best coffee I've ever had in NYC. Doesn't taste burnt at all like most other places and it has a nutty aftertaste. Really delicious - doesn't even need syrup flavors. The chocolate chip cookie is divine and tastes homemade! I'm so happy I stumbled upon this little hole in the wall. It's tiny inside but there are a few tables / stool seats by the window. It's a great spot to bring a book and people watch. They have a bunch of other pastries that look delicious as well and I'm excited to try them all! This spot is just steps from the L train at Grand St. Don't miss it! Super friendly service, quick, and delicious. What else could you need?

    Focaccia

    Finally had the breakfast sandwich and it was devastatingly good. Yum! They have decaf which is cool.

    I've lived in NYC for 9 years and this is the BEST breakfast sandwich I've had during my time here. I recco getting it on the focaccia but the options are plentiful. Not pictured is the banana bread, which for reasons I can't describe is also the best I've had. Just GO!

    Simply the best. Great cold brew, amazing Focaccia, get it as a sandwich with the Pastrami Egg cheese and Aioli . Also the workers are very kind and hospitable, especially my main man with the beard! Will be coming back for sure

    The reviews of this place are what got us in the door & im so glad we listened. The moment you walk through the door you're met with a warmth you don't always find in the city. The staff was wonderful. The coffee is top notch. Just enough options and not trying to overdo it with an overwhelming menu. The biscuits. THE BISCUITS. Go hungry and get the Bacon Egg and Cheese Sandwich. It's killer!

    Egg and cheese croissant
    Stephen F.

    Excellent coffee, fresh croissants and amazing biscuits, perfect (and generous) egg sandwiches. And so so friendly!

    Gluten free biscuits!

    Had a bacon egg and cheese on a gluten free biscuit. Wasn't expecting them to have that option so I was positively surprised and it was delicious! Would recommend!

The menu changes constantly and you can find the latest menu on their Instagram stories which they update daily. As a rule of thumb, plan to get dessert. The dark chocolate tiramisu slice we were served was healthy in size, rich in flavor and perfect to split between the two of us. I tend to order 3 dishes (one protein and two side dishes) when coming in with a friend. The dishes are always a reminder of how simple ingredients can be combined to create fantastic flavors. As a note, the Chicken Cutlet was perfectly crisp and now I feel inclined to stop in for lunch and grab a sandwich. The wines are definitely selected by someone who has a preference for funky I almost want to say musky flavors. Never really found something there that I liked which is the only drawback to this place. Get a reservation, this place can be packed very quickly. It's also good for small groups, I've seen many a birthday dinner take place here.

    Very disappointed with this spot and was rudely accused of not paying the bill!…read more Came here extremely excited to try out their birthday cake tiramisu and check out the restaurant in general since it had been on my list for a while. While the place is pretty cute aesthetically, the service was awful. I had made a reservation since that's what's recommended by the establishment and everyone we interacted with was pretty unpleasant. In addition, the cake tasted old and so freezer burnt that we had one bite and discarded the rest. Nothing about it was appealing. Worst of all no one seemed to want to wait on us so we spent the whole time trying to flag someone down so we left cash on the table for everything and left. Dispute all this we decided to still tip 30% since our order was so small and we wanted to be courteous. 15 mins later I get an extremely rude phone call from the restaurant immediately accusing me of leaving without paying! They didn't even have the decency to check the table without immediately assuming and being unbelievable disrespectful. Still in disbelief about the entire experience, would not recommend this establishment to anyone.

I first ordered a chai latte and he said I could do two different syrups so I got the pumpkin and salted maple, though I was worried about it being too sugary so he suggested I could just do half a pump of each. He asked me what the name of the order would be and I said "Aida" (the phonetic spelling is ah-EE-dah). And then I heard the other barista say something along the lines of, "oh Aida, how about 'Aida' rather not be here", pretty rude if you ask me. And then I ordered the spicy nook sandwich. And when another server called my named to grab it she didn't even knowledge me when I tried to thank her and instead she talked to her coworker while I was right in front of her. The sandwich was really good, so was my chai tea. I really like the pumpkin and salt and maple syrups too. I did like all the options for seating although it was pretty packed. I'd say if you have a big party get there early. By 7pm the whole place was filled. There was a huge majong club that came in and took the whole back area, it was so crammed there were lines for the bathroom. Over all I had a good time. I really like the music too just know it gets very busy in there. The employees I would say were hit or miss. The ones that were great though I really liked. Just seem like the ones who didn't really give attention to customers or were kind of rude seemed like they didn't wanna be there.

First…read moreoff this was a few months back but let me say the women working that day were super rude and looked annoyed that I even interrupted their personal conversation. I let it go but then I order my regular small iced coffee "light &sweet" as you can tell the coffee was not light at all and I almost felt uncomfortable to even bother to ask them to change it. So I paid $6 for a regular small iced coffee that I did not enjoy. It was cool inside and being the workers freshly making coffee beans (that is so unique) and it was beautiful inside and had a cute selections to buy something.... But when you have the workers you do have really represents your company. And I have no problem paying money for good quality coffee which you can tell it was. Yet I couldn't get past how rude I was treated. Especially when I stroll in and you're completely empty and I'm being very sweet and I get the vibes I did... Some things make or break an experience!
