Caffeinated New Yorker

“This is My first time going to a cafe in Bay Street with a group of people from JCC. It's a walk from where I used to live in 52 Beach Street and had to get there by crossing the street. There is a McDonald's just not far from that too. It's a brick building and it has a sign of a coffee cup at the front door entrance. When I went inside, the place felt American like and a little welcoming. It's almost campy. There was one carpet at the entrance because it was raining when I got there. They did have some chairs and tables. A bookcase with a little winery at the bottom and coffee and books. They do have a back room where it's really comfortable. They could have put a rug there too since it has the red curtains for an entrance. Inside they did have a lot of art pieces on the walls and a fireplace with wood and two chairs and a table. There is a couch there as well. And a dresser like cabinet in the corner of the room. The whole back room area felt like something out of the 80s or a 90s sitcom. I looked at the menus and they're very fancy. I picked out the SI Burger with sea salt hand cut fries. The burger was $15 and the fries were $8 which equals out to $21. Pretty expensive for two meals because the burger came with a pickle and chips. The freeze came with two sauces mayonnaise and ketchup. The chips were a little hard but I enjoyed the burger and it was very delicious . I did ask how much the drinks cost.$3 for a glass bottle of soda or I could have the water which is free. I said yes to the water but I didn't really get it. I'm not going to lie I was slipping a little bit because the whole floor was made of wood. Hopefully I can come back to this place for a little bit more of an experience does this kind of Cafe looks and feels very homely and I don't know why. Does look very cool though.”

“10/10. there are no words for how good this spot is. i feel like a Jehovah's witness spreading the good word telling everyone i come in contact with how top tier the tiramisu latte & croissants are. they bake them in house. i call the man who bakes them the croissant master. every barista in there makes a damn good latte, i was a barista for years this is very rare. everyone is so professional & always give the people what they want. when they close on wednesdays i want to cry, but yes they need rest. my favorite coffee shop ever in my 28 years on earth. no coffee shop compares. not being dramatic at all. God bless all of their hands for the good work they do!”

“Great coffee drink menu and DELICIOUS vanilla latte. Really large space with a cozy back room, very clean and cute. Looking forward to trying the food next time. If only the location was closer to the ferry... they should be packed all the time. Let's make it happen.”
