One day, I can ask for a hot chai and it'll be the BEST chai I've ever had in my ENTIRE LIFE. Itll taste so good, I'll even overlook the fact that it was $8. The next day, I'll get the same chai but instead of delicious, it's lukewarm, flavorless, milky, and just mediocre. Can we please have some consistency... I mean, my family has been supporting this spot for years. We can all agree that it's a nice spot. But, you can just tell who the barista was on certain days. There's this woman, who genuinely has NO sense of urgency Whatsoever. This past summer, there was a line of people (including myself) waiting in line to order. Instead of her actually taking peoples orders at the register, this woman decided she was going to have a full blown conversation with the lady who was ordering. My point is: I need more urgency. I need better music because taylor swift and Sabrina carpenter ain't it. I need CONSISTENCY in my chais. I want more wall art in the back area, because it's too mundane. Please do take what I am saying with a grain of salt and seriously. I want this to be the best spot for a chai in BK!!!

This extra attention and care is very sweet so major props to her.

Thank you, Syd, for encouraging me to get it. The way you described it made me want to try it. I haven't finished tasting everything yet. I'll definitely be back. We came while they were closed so we waited until they opened back up. It was so worth the wait.

I apparently missed the sticky toffee banana bread because by the time I got there it was already gone. I decided on a chocolate chip cookie and the brown butter Rice Krispie treat. The line was a little long but it moved pretty fast. I ate a little of the Rice Krispie treat, it was pretty awesome, full of specks of vanilla bean and tons of marshmallows in it. I definitely will stop by again soon to try the ice cream.

And they have the lovely patties like jerk plantain, ackee, and more. I checked the menu ahead of time, but my niece and I found ourselves studying it hard when we walked in. So many options! I decided to get a pumpkin spice patty (new to me), oxtail patty, and protein shake. My niece got a red velvet pastry and acai bowl. My patties and smoothie came out in about 10 minutes, and my niece received her pastry when we paid. The acai bowl took quite a long time, but I did notice that it was advertised as being new on their menu. The gentleman that took our order was literally the only one in the cafe, and quite a line formed after we got settled, so power to him! If you walk to the back of the cafe, you will see a door that says the patio is open, and it was a lovely area to sit at. It was hilarious to hear a rooster nearby, feeling just like the islands. The pumpkin spice patty was delicious, but the oxtail patty stole the show. It was also a Haitian style patty, so it was nice to have that since it's so rare for me. My shake had peanut butter and protein in it, so it was heavy, but it was so yummy. My niece liked her pastry and her soluble, although there was some unblended acai in there. They'll get it right. I would definitely return to this cafe, and I hope they continue to do well!

Each time I've placed the same order, plain bagel with onion & chive cream chess w/an ice coffee (side note I don't even eat cheese cream on a bagel). My 1st time here was when I tried onion & chive cream cheese. My usual order on a bagel is turkey bacon & egg. The ambiance of this place enticed me to change my order. I'm glad I did. Never imagined cream cheese on a bagel could be so damn good, and their coffee is something to savor. This place is amazing. Lastly I'll add this. I live some 13 miles away and stop here on my drive to the office which is another 2 1/2 miles from the cafe lounge.

Takeaway from this community centered cafe is always a hit!…read more The guava & cheese tart was, according to my Cuban friend from Miami, the closest thing to a pastelito she's had since she's moved here.

She enjoyed a coffee which is one of her favorites in the city. This space has breakfast, lunch and dinner available and the staff is always friendly. Excited to keep coming back and trying more of their menu!

The Yerba mate didn't have much of a taste. The Yerba mate you get from the super markets, actually tastes way better. The grilled cheese sandwich was ok, nothing special. It was $7, and you can make the same grilled cheese at home that costs $3-$4 to make. The decor/ambience of the store felt like a flea market, with a bunch of random and eclectic furniture thrown in together. The art was funky, with a lot of color and animals on it. The place had a bunch of punk rocker type customers in it. This place didn't really give me the "community feel" that it was going for. The customer service was ok, the guy who served me was mediocre. It wasn't the best or the worst. It's located in a quiet residential area, about a 10 minute walk from the train station.

I asked if they served breakfast and ordered mangu, two cheese, two eggs, salami, and an orange juice. Total came out to $20, which is insane. Every other Dominican spot charges $12-$14 max for the exact same plate. Charging Manhattan prices in a low-income neighborhood right by the projects is wild, and honestly feels like a straight rip-off. And for that price, the food didn't even deliver. The mangu was slimy and watery, the quality was nowhere near what it should be, and nothing about the meal matched the cost. Between the terrible service, the attitude, and the ridiculous overpricing, I won't be coming back--and I don't recommend anyone else waste their money here either.
