It is rare to meet people with such a zest and excitement for people and music! The atmosphere is cozy and the music as well as food is always wonderful! The food is made in an extremely small kitchen but with great care so be patient! All the food is Made to Order so make sure to place your order early in the show. There is never a cover-charge for music which is nice. The music is also extremely varied depending on the night so you are sure to find something you like. It is nice to hear such awesome local musical talents! You always meet wonderful and friendly people and can really appreciate the feeling of being in a small intimate cafe. They generally will pass around a money box with donations that go towards the artists since they aren't paid-nice to contribute if you can! Art exhibits on the walls always rotate as well and are for sale which adds to the unique decor. Give it a shot-you won't be disappointed!

This place is a definition of a local coffee shop. The…read moreinterior decor is very old school and definitely unique, you will not find a place like this anywhere. Once you step inside it feels like you're in a small fisherman's village coffee shop! You can pretty much order any type of coffee you want with daily fresh pastries. I got a regular ice coffee which I have to admit was very weak it could have been better but I got it maybe 20 minutes before closing time if that matters at all. I also got the avocado toast which was beyond delicious!!! If this place was closer to my home I would just drive here for the avocado toast all the time! Next time I'm in City Island I'll definitely return here and give ice coffee another shot! Also the lady who helped us with our order was super nice!! Enjoy!

Now, I'll say this boldly, he makes the best rainbow cookies I've ever had (aside from my own, of course :) ). Everything I've tried here has been excellent. Perfectly balanced flavors and clearly made with care. Besides the rainbow cookies I picked up yesterday, I've attached some photos from previous visits: Bacon, Egg & Cheese - Hands down the best in the neighborhood. Not even a question in my mind. Smoked Salmon Bagel - Comes with all the fixings and features top quality lox. The bagels are from Empire, so you know they're good! Philly Cheesesteak - He roasts his own ribeye for it, and you can really taste the difference. The fries are fresh cut, the bread is made in-house, and everything consistently hits the mark. Pay him a visit and I'm sure you'll love it as much as I do!

The menu has options for coffee and tea lovers alike. My go to order has been Iced Matcha. It's high quality Matcha and mixed well. They do serve it unsweetened but they have simple syrup and sugar at a stand by the door if you want to add it yourself. I have also tried the seasonal coffee flavors; all were hits. The pastries are freshly baked and they sell some artisanal snacks too. My favorites pastries are the almond croissant and cheese danish but you can't go wrong with any of the choices. There has not been a time I've come by and received poor customer service. The staff is genuinely kind. If you're in the neighborhood or just want to pop by this quaint cafe, I'd highly recommend it. P.S. They have a few tables outside when the weather is warmer.
