    Orange Espresso
    Ruby C.

    Gemina is a Turkish family-owned coffee shop, conveniently located in East Village. The space is small but cozy, and I highly recommend sitting at their outdoor tables on cool days. The baristas are very welcoming and knowledgeable. We had a great chat with them about coffee and Istanbul. Apart from coffee and pastries, Gemina serves breakfast food like bagels and croissant sandwiches. I always prefer buying coffee from small local cafes. Check them out if you're in the area and support small businesses. *Salmon Cream Cheese Bagel While I have high bar on bagels, their lox bagel didn't disappoint. It has a crispy crust and pillowy dough. The smoked salmon, tomato and plain cream cheese complement well with one another. The portion size is just right for breakfast. *Grilled Cheese Grilled Cheese looks plain but very tasty. We loved the cheese and the crispy sourdough. *Pastel de Nata Make sure to grab their signature pastel de nata!! The egg custard is jiggly and creamy with a nice blistered top and flaky crust. It is very sweet and filled with rich eggy flavor. *Orange Espresso This summer special coffee is layered with orange juice and double shots of espresso. A combo that I never thought it would work well! It is a less sweet drink compared to other special coffee on their menu. They also emphasize they don't pour too much ice to keep the balanced flavor. *Frozen Pineapple Lemonade Refreshing drink for non coffee drinkers. It tastes healthy and not too sweet, which you can tell they don't add extra syrup or sweetener to the slush. It also comes in a larger cup!

    Great alternative milk options for lattes, matcha, tea, and coffees. Vegan and gluten-free cookies available. However, if you can do eggs and gluten, definitely get a Pastel de Nada for a filling but sweet little bite to get you by. Cute interior with cozy benches, pillows, and chairs to hang out on in the back with a friend, but maybe too cozy for a conversation you'd like to keep private. A bathroom that is legit clean for customer use. Don't search for WiFi here, 5G is cellular signal is best if you can tether. Staff is friendly and kind but easily distracted by their own phones or conversations on their ear pods.

    Excellent cappuccino, and nice pastries. I've only had the lemon-poppyseed muffin (delicious), but the others look tempting. There is seating, but it's small & fills up quickly. Staff is very friendly.

    Cute vibe, however the matcha tasted awful. Never going to order from here again. Maybe they do coffee better

    I've had Ten Thousand Coffee on my to-go list for the LONGEST. I finally went for the first time…read moreand there were so many drinks I wanted to try so I ended up buying 3. 1. The Jeju Green Tangerine Matcha honestly just tastes like a tangerine selter drink but in the best way, because I don't typically enjoy seltzer or carbonated beverages. I really enjoy the flavor and the carbonation isn't too strong, probably because I brought it home to drink. I don't really taste the matcha but I would definitely still order this again. 2. Matcha Einspanner. This is my first time having an Einspanner so I have no idea what I was expecting but this is DELICIOUS. It's so silky and smooth and the TASTE is just right up my alley. The matcha is light but you can still taste it. Absolutely, would drink this all the time if I could. 3. Purple Sweet Potato Latte. This. This. Omg, why haven't I tried this sooner?! The first sip and initial taste, I almost tasted nothing, just milk. And then all of a sudden, there's an explosion of flavor in your mouth. As a sweet potato lover, I was in heaven. I have absolutely no words for this drink, just try it. 100/10 recommend. This is probably my favorite one out of the 3 that I bought. I went around ... 2:45PM on a Friday and most of the seats were taken, if I remember correctly. There were a decent amount of seats and the space was decent. I liked the minimal aesthetic they had for the design of the interior. Not to forget, the staff at the register was absolutely wonderful, she answered all my questions, she's so sweet. I think I'm disappointed that I haven't tried this place sooner. Y'all get out of your comfort zone and try the Purple Sweet Potato Latte !! Or if not, just try this place out. I will definitely be recommending the Purple Sweet Potato Latte to all my family and friends.

    The shop was nice and clean and it wasn't too busy when we stopped by…read more I ordered the tiramisu einspänner, which was exactly what it sounded like a generous dollop of tiramisu on top of an einspänner latte. While it was a fun and unique drink, I probably should have opted for something else. The topping was literally like actual tiramisu rather than just tiramisu flavoring, and it felt like there was more ice and tiramisu than latte. Personally, I would have preferred more of the tiramisu flavor without the full tiramisu texture mixed into the drink. That said, it was an interesting concept and I'm glad I tried it. I'd definitely be open to coming back and trying another latte on a future visit.

    I probably never leave reviews in general, especially negative ones, but this experience was so…read moreegregious that I honestly felt like I had to say something. I've worked in restaurants and bars long enough to understand that staff drinking happens, but this was on another level entirely. I came in with a group of friends and one of the bartenders, Will, was so visibly drunk that it made the entire experience uncomfortable. Slurred speech, wobbling behind the bar, taking orders while chewing food with his mouth open -- it was honestly embarrassing to watch. He looked like he absolutely did not want to be there. At one point, my group had been trying to get his attention for another round for quite a while while he stood around talking with coworkers. We then watched staff take a shot together, and when he finally came over he burped mid-conversation and literally had whatever he had just been drinking dribbling down his neckbeard. That was the moment where the whole thing went from unprofessional to just gross. What made it worse was that it didn't seem isolated to one employee. Throughout the night we watched staff openly taking shots and drinking behind the bar like it was a house party instead of a business. There's a difference between bar culture and complete lack of professionalism, and this crossed that line hard. One of the friends I was with actually frequents the DUMBO location and said that the last time she was there, the same bartender also seemed intoxicated, which makes this feel less like a bad night and more like an ongoing issue. The DUMBO location itself is in an amazing spot, which makes it even more disappointing. But ownership seriously needs to get control of what's going on there before someone gets hurt or the place develops a reputation for having drunk staff on the clock. Unfortunately, the experience was uncomfortable enough that my girlfriends and I won't be coming back. I genuinely hope the employee mentioned gets help if this is a regular thing, because nobody should be working service in that condition.
