Two floors with the main floor having tons of bar stools, Tabes and a lower nook area with a larger table and some couches. Upstairs offers a long community table with window lounge seating bright and even whimsical with a lovely floor to ceiling book case. Menu offers snacks, small bites and more substantial meal options. They also do a happy hour special beginning at 4! I opted for a dirty chai (5/5) and scrambled egg and cheddar sandwich (5/5) both were delish! Appreciated the side salad as well! If you're looking for a spot to work, meet a friend or enjoy some time to your self reading a book definitely check it out. Staff is friendly, noise is reasonable and not disruptive, space is bright and open. Free WiFi. Plenty of places nearby if you wanted to try another spot for food. The only bummer is the Parking. There is street or nearby parking lot but street parking was full even at 9:30 AM the lot is covered but $5 for 2 hours and up from there.

I especially appreciated how everything tasted fresh yet comforting at the same time. The service was warm and attentive without being overwhelming, which made me feel really relaxed and taken care of. And the ambiance? Just the right balance of cozy and charming--I could've easily stayed much longer. This is definitely the kind of place I'd come back to, whether for a quiet solo moment or to share with friends. It just has that effortless, welcoming vibe that makes you want to linger a little longer

I wasn't a big fan of the bread, as it was bit doughy. However, this is a great sandwich to get especially if you want to feel full. The chicken empanada filling was nice. I think I am used to cornmeal shells or puff pastry empanada styles, so the outside for this one to me felt a bit undercooked and not as satisfying. Portion size is still good though and it's yummy.

The ambiance is cheerful and inviting, it transported us to a warm island day for our brief stay. It seems there was only one barista working that day and she was very helpful, patient, and friendly. My husband ordered the Cremas Latte and oh my god I wish I got it, it was so delicious; creamy, flavorful and sweet. I ordered the iced toasted almond "hot" chocolate, it was a very rich dark chocolate taste with the amaretto flavor coming through nicely. It was not overly sweet which I enjoyed. I think this is how hot chocolate was meant to taste and I'll be curious to try it hot. I also appreciated that there was some of my drink that didn't fit in the cup, so the barista gave it to me in another cup. My son ordered a Golden Mango Smoothie- he loved it! I love that it has turmeric in it, I felt good letting him have this drink. We also got some snacks. We ordered the Haitian beef patties which were very authentic. You get two per order which was a nice surprise. My son wanted to eat all 4 from our two orders. We also ordered a mini chocolate cake which was decadent and moist and a mini key lime pie which was refreshing and delicious! It was really nice being able to go to a Haitian cafe. My husband and son are Haitian and we enjoyed teaching our son about his culture while he can enjoy treats made with imported Haitian ingredients and recipes. He also enjoyed looking at the art work which prompted him to ask my husband more questions. I only wish there was better parking, especially for us out-of-towners, but I know that is hard in a city.

The guy at the register, chris was very friendly and knew about all the products and coffees at the shop. He recommended Salem's blend latte which pretty good. I'll def stop by again to see what they offer for the holidays. I'm actually surprised about the negative review and it seems like it's the same person under a different name. I guess they have the patience to wait and see these creatures lol that's unfortunate though, because it's definitely a shop worth visiting and supporting a local business. Best of luck to the owners and I'll swing by for the next flavor!

Hospitality amongst both owners Jessica and Chris has been fantastic, for the last 6 months I've been going here as I'd recommend Brewdacity to all TCG fans, coffee fanatics, and everyone who has a niche hobby! TL:DR Pros: - Clean Shop - More than reasonable pricing for items and drinks - Hospitable and caring owners - Welcoming Environment - Great Shop for folks in the N-NJ Area - Wide variety of products - Magic Drafts, Pokemon TCG Trade Nights, etc. Cons: -None!

My husband and I had a little late night coffee date after a day of journaling and reflecting and it was nice to sit and chat here. It feels very homey, but I will say that the inside can get very loud with a bunch of people crowded in the small space. The decor is a little funny, seems kinda random - but I love the genuine vibe! The service was really good, I like the big chalk board menu. It's aesthetically pleasing to look at. I tried a matcha vanilla cupcake and it was soooo good. Normally matcha stuff tastes like grass to me but it was really well balanced with the vanilla. Neither was overpowering and it made it a very refreshing dessert. I can see intrinsic becoming a regular spot in my life!
