The kind of coffee shop you want to stay in…read more Recently, me and my mom were walking through our old neighborhood in East Harlem after an appointment. We were on 116th, walking from 3rd to 2nd to catch the bus, when we came across this really cute little coffee shop: Indomable Coffee Co.. At first, we noticed the little order window outside where you can grab your coffee, but then we realized you could actually go inside too. We peeked at the drinks and immediately knew we had to come back for breakfast. And baby... I'm so glad we did. First off, I love that it's a true be present kind of space. No laptops, no people buried in work, no weird "coffee shop office" energy. Just people enjoying their coffee, food, conversation, and the moment. I really appreciated that because culturally, that kind of communal experience means something. Sitting down, sharing a meal, talking, connecting -- it just felt good. Now let's get into the food, because yes. One thing you need to know: they do all-day breakfast for $15, which honestly is such a win these days. You can scan the QR code for the menu, but they also give you a physical menu, and there are so many good options. They also serve lunch, so it's definitely a breakfast, brunch, and lunch kind of spot. For my drink, I got the iced dirty horchata con marzipan, and when I tell you it was everything I didn't know I needed... wow. I'm a coffee girl, and this was perfect. It gave me exactly the energy I needed without having me feeling like I was about to vibrate through the wall. It was refreshing, flavorful, and still had all those classic horchata notes I love. It was so well balanced. My mom got the coconut matcha latte, and I had to try it. It was really good, and she loved it. She's a big matcha girl, so that says a lot. For food, my mom had their breakfast burrito, which is one of their signature staples, and she loved how light but still filling it was. I ordered the caramelized banana walnut pancakes with a side of scrambled eggs because... why not? And let me tell you, those pancakes were EVERYTHING. Perfectly fluffy, cooked just right, not overly sweet, topped with fresh bananas and walnuts, and the sauce was so good. They were super filling too -- so filling that my mom definitely slid over and helped herself to some, and honestly, I don't blame her. Everything tasted fresh and intentional. The service was also really great. Our server was sweet, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. While we were there, we even saw some firefighters stopping in for coffee, which tells me this is probably one of those neighborhood gems people already know about and keep coming back to. The ambiance is exactly what you want in a coffee shop. It's quaint, cozy, homey, and peaceful without feeling stiff or overly curated. It just feels comfortable. We're already planning to go back and try lunch (there's another drink I have my eye on too), so safe to say this spot is officially on my list. If you're in East Harlem and want really good coffee, delicious food, and a genuinely relaxing atmosphere, I highly recommend checking them out.

Stopped by Indomable before heading to the barber. Had the Tamarindo orange cold brew, a newer item…read moreon the menu. I really enjoyed the contrast between the citrus flavor of the orange and the bitterness of the coffee. The tamarind added just the right balance of sweetness to the cold brew and it was a refreshing drink on an August morning. Ordered a bacon, egg and cheese on a brioche bun to go with the coffee. The sandwich was generously portioned, with at least 3 eggs and a copious amount of bacon. The ambiance was great given that they've expanded to include an indoor dining section. I sat outside of the storefront on the benches lining the sidewalk. Service was fantastic, with friendly cashiers and quick preparation of drinks. Will definitely go back next time I'm in the area!

Manhattanville Coffee on Edgecombe Avenue was the perfect place to start the day and, fittingly,…read morethe perfect place to say goodbye. After a few days in the city together, my friend and I stopped in for breakfast before parting ways. The vibe was cozy, relaxed, and welcoming, exactly what you want from a local coffee shop. The giant windows lend a ton of natural light, especially for place that almost needs to wait until midday for some sunshine. The bagels absolutely hit the spot: fresh, satisfying, and exactly what we needed. Nothing overly complicated, just solid, well-executed breakfast. They have pastries and sandwiches, as well, but your girl needed a real New York bagel before this trip was through. What really stood out for me, though, was the hot cider on special. It was warm, spiced just right, and comforting for a November morning. I could easily see this shop as a regular go-to of mine if I lived in the neighborhood.

Next time I'll try the macchiato :)
