Nice place but repeated terrible service
2 Star Rating: Below Average

08/31/2006 Posted by dryden555

I live very close to this place and walk by every morning. Its a big space and the coffee is good, but I still cant reccommend it at all. Unfortunately all of the staff all of the time seem particularly cold and haughty. They are all (it seems) NYU undergrad women and always looking really trendily bored. Stoney eyes and no smiles ever, even when they are talking to each other behind the counter. I have to stress that I'm not picky about service in a coffee place. For example if I ask where are the tops for the coffee they simply pretend not to hear me even if I ask politely a 2nd time and then a 3rd time. Its that kinda place -- best avoided if you want to grab a coffee. The staff manager really need to rethink the type of staff he/she is hiring there.

Pros: coffee is strong and tasty if a bit pricey

Cons: Truly terrible counter service -- bored and haughty

Editor's Review

This alternative to mainstream coffeehouses is socially conscious, uniquely decorated and spacious enough to hang out and spread out.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

Where to Sit

Louder conversation dominates up front; couches and tables serve as quieter study areas in the back.
