    There was no line on a Saturday morning but plenty of the tables were occupied. The café is very bright, open, and welcoming. It's quiet and a great place to sip on coffee or hang out. There is a time limit for dining (makes sense for the small venue!) I had their pistachio latte which I wish wasn't $6.30 bc I would totally get this more often! I asked for the croissant to be warmed and it tasted very good/fresh. Will def be back!

    It's cute. It's clean. It's brand new. The treats look pretty, but they aren't mind-blowing. The coffee was good, very strong. The staff was nice, but it didn't feel super organized.

    Along with the usual espresso and beverage menu, this café surprisingly offers a lot of food options (pastries, sandwiches, acai bowls, and salads) which is more than I was expecting for an espresso bar. I got a large Matcha Latte ($5), Blueberry Scone ($?? ), Caramel Donut ($4), and a Banana Bread ($7). The Matcha Latte was creamy and nutty and delicious. It was also such a bargain at five bucks! The Blueberry Scone was tender and flaky. I actually don't know how much I paid for this one as I forgot to grab the receipt when I left. The Caramel Donut was pretty good. It was dipped in icing and topped with (I think) mini caramel balls. It was sweet but not necessarily caramelly, if that makes sense. The Banana Bread was pretty good, moist and sweet. The café itself was lovely and I noticed a couple of patrons sitting with their laptops working. And I totally get it- the space was quiet, not too crowded and had great drinks I've mentally added this place to my list of good spots to get some work done without being bothered.

    I came here Tuesday afternoon to try their Oat Banana Latte, and it did not disappoint! I did ask for less syrup, so the drink was not the normal sweet which was my preference. There is a decent amount of seating and lots of natural light. The cashier was polite and made the drink fast! The overall ambience is a 10/10! I would definitely come back here to do some work and try out other drinks.

    Great service, lady working there was so nice! Came here specifically for the cafe freddo. It was good but was lacking flavor. Coffee itself was giving cardboard. If I'm in the area I'll give them another shot.

    Pancakes and Freddo Espresso

    Koukla Espresso Bar has become my daily ritual and a true gem in the neighborhood! The moment I cross the street, the barista spots me through the window and begins preparing my favorite Freddo espresso--it feels so personalized! I've indulged in almost all the pastries, each one fresh and absolutely delightful. Today, I treated myself to their pancakes for brunch, and they were irresistibly fresh and fluffy. The atmosphere is always warm, thanks to the super welcoming and friendly owner and staff. Every visit feels like catching up with friends. Highly recommend Koukla for anyone looking for great coffee and a cozy vibe!

    Tried Koukla! Saw it pop up recently when I walked past and finally made it today. Barista was very nice, wasn't super busy on a Monday morning. Seems like they have a ton of pastries and things to eat. Wasn't crazy about my latte with hazelnut but I want to go back to try the banana oat latte or a matcha!

    Place looks nice, service was good but unfortunately, food was fair. Started with the burrata…read more Visually appealing and looked like a large portion with all of the accoutrements. Unfortunately, it was totally bland and not large at all. The side sauce added nothing and over 30$ with tax/tip. For entrees, we shared the lobster pasta and the guazzetto di Pesci. The pasta was good. Reasonable amount of pasta but we would have liked some more chunks of lobster for the price. I thought the sauce was only ok but my girlfriend liked it. The guazzetto di Pesci was only fair. The sauce was lacking flavor. Also a very small bowl of broth with maybe 3 small shrimp and muscles, a few small chunks of fish. and two sad, tiny pieces of bread on the side. Since we were still quite hungry after the meal, we ordered the lotus chocolate caramel dessert. This was the only dish we really liked. kinda hard to mess up gelato though. It came with a hard outer candy shell and a very small cookie center that was sweet and delicious. Overall, an average meal at best that we both felt was lacking in taste and size. Won't return.

    We came here for brunch on a Saturday afternoon as a group of six. Overall, the food was pretty…read moregood and the service was fine, but both the service and food were noticeably slow. They did bring out complimentary bread, which was appreciated, though it felt like something that should be standard rather than a highlight. One item someone in our group wanted -- the octopus burger -- was unfortunately unavailable, which was disappointing, especially given that it was brunch and still relatively early in the day. That said, the dishes we did order were good and well prepared. The space itself is nice: the front functions as a cute coffee shop, while the back has tables for sit-down dining. Because of that setup, the vibe feels more casual, but the menu offers solid options. Overall, it was a good experience, just not a great one -- a decent brunch spot, but nothing that blew us away.
