...I been baptized in the Muddy Waters!!!

by Randy St James

...so I fell up into Muddy Waters by chance and was enchanted by the vibe of the place. Good tunes swirled about as I enjoyed a delicious chicken salad sandwich and tasty emonade (freshly squeezed!!)

As for the coffee, its the best. I've never enjoyed chai lattes before coming here; now I get them every chance I get.

The staff is friendly and making its presence known in the Harlem neighborhood. Great place!

  • Pros: ..good coffee, good convo, great decor

My Epic Adventure in ....Muddy Waters Cafe

by J Troupe

Stumbled into this incredible nook the other day.... the setting was a quaint vibe that reminded me of my vacations in Amsterdam. Very Nostalgic, and the people were extremely warm and friendly. I ordered a CAPPUCCINO w/ soy & everything BAGEL w/ LOX as a gorgeous young lady suggested i try. MUDDY WATERS CAFE is my new passion..... thank you for the experience.
