They were great and not flavors offered at other nearby cafes, so that gives them the edge for me! Would get them again. It seems like a great place to read, work, or do something solo in peace. The environment is pleasing to the eye and the colors soothe you into focus. I will definitely be back to try out their drinks.

The pastries are fresh daily from Paloma and the coffee is expertly sourced and roasted. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. There is plenty of seating inside and some outside -lovely for reading or getting work done! I'm at risk of going here everyday because their coffee is superior to everyone else's with the beautiful space to sit but I'm controlling myself! Don't say I gatekeep guys- if you are reading and love coffee just go before the crowds come.

I seen the no bathroom sign after ordering a drink. I have bladder control issues due to disability. I had a bit of a panic because I don't know the neighborhood or where I can find a bathroom after I start drinking my drink. Cute place in theory.

Absolutely loved this place. A friend from outside of NY sent me a video of The Little Bookshop on…read moreInstagram, so I made a mental note to visit. Came here with a girlfriend early afternoon and wow. First, while exiting the entrance of the L train, the scent of good food hit my nose. Without knowing exactly where the shop was but that it was one min away, I only hoped that the aroma was coming from there. I was in for a treat because it was. I received a warm greeting when I entered and ordered a matcha latte to start and then my friend and I each had the vegan butter bean stew and shared a grilled cheese. My expectations weren't high for soup at a bookshop but oh my word, that was the best soup I've had in a while. I practically devoured it, scraping the bowl with the toasted, buttery biscuit it was paired with. The vegan sausage is crumbled and has (to my vegetarian palate) such a convincing meaty taste, that after several bites I had to remind myself that I did in fact order the vegan version. We split a grilled cheese which isn't your typical gooey American or cheddar on sliced bread. It was more of an airy baguette and pepper jack. I still enjoyed it. Overall, such a lovely cafe, with welcoming, family vibes. It's quite on the other side of town for me but I will certainly make the trip.

Passed by on Wednesday and each seat was taken but was intrigued by the flavors. I asked for dark…read moreroast but was informed they only do espresso drinks. They had some funky combos like "maple sea" which has maple syrup and sea salt; "pb & honey " which has peanut butter and honey. All hot coffees are 12oz and all iced coffees are 16oz. I opted for the "brown sugar" hot. It was delicious! Good balance of flavor. The only issue for me was paying $6.53. Not sure how often I'd pay that regardless how much I like it. Besides coffee I saw that they also have games and records.

The kava was very drinkable, and there's an option to add ginger or "baklava" flavor to make it a bit easier to drink. It wasn't too tough at all.

I saw on their menu they had a chai latte and also a golden latte (with turmeric). Very long story short, I've been drinking an instant version of a chai turmeric latte at home so I asked if they can mix the two, and they were down to get wild with it and I appreciated that so much. My verdict: very good, could have used more turmeric. Kinda hope they add it to the menu. Maybe they can call it a Chai Glow. Their patience and overall vibe was soooo refreshing. P.S. This place is also great for working with available WiFi. Their pastries looked delicious and I would be down to sample next time. Yes there will be a next time.

It's a nice cafe and I'll definitely come back!
