This is the spot to get your morning coffee! Especially as everyone commutes into the office-- service is always usually quick, sweet, welcoming, and simple! I normally just get an iced latte with a hint of vanilla. Breakfast food is also great as well-- I've had the breakfast burrito! The owner Mike is so sweet and brings so much positive vibes in the morning and you also get a treat to watch James Bond movies that are up on the TV What would Webster Street be without this place? And how could we ever function without our morning caffeine from here? It's a staple.

Such a good experience at this little shop on the corner of Webster and 22nd. I was in desperate need of Tylenol with only Apple Pay. The guy behind the counter said no worries you can pay me later if you don't have cash or don't worry about it. I returned a couple of hours later with money and he told me he's not going to accept the money and that it's on him , don't worry about it. Just the generosity of humanity. Shows a lot :) would return and recommend them to many!

The coffee is excellent and a great alternative to Starbucks. I got the Wake-Up with soy milk which was flavorful and strong mix of fresh coffee and espresso. The menu options are your standard fair of pastries and premade breakfast sandwiches, but the biscuits and croissants are solid and the eggs aren't rubbery so that's a major plus. The man behind the counter was super friendly and warm, and definitely someone I look forward to greeting again. I have only one minor complaint and that is that the early store hours are not consistent, and it isn't just on Yelp, but onsite as well. I showed up this morning a little before 5:30am and noticed the CLOSED sign was post with a 6am being the posted opening. I had almost left when I literally saw the opener come walking up and flip the sign over.

Excellent coffee and great baklava, with an amazing owner. What else do you need? Just go and order actual expresso coffee, you'll thank me later.

The owner's vibes is infectious and bright. I can see people wanting to come in just to get a piece of that energy radiating off. I ordered an ice mocha and slice of pound cake. I don't usually even eat breakfast. All the customers were very polite and neighborly. A very local business vibe in this big city. Coffee and cake were good! Note..sizes are medium, large, and extra large. There's also an abundance of candies and treats, baklava, bagels, pastries...

My first time going in to this expresso bar. I had already had 2 coffees this morning, and at noon I went in and got a Coconut Latte--made with decaf--tasty, but a little sweater than I usually get. This is a mid-Eastern coffee establishment. Besides a large assortment of coffee drinks they have Baklava, sandwiches, candy bars, fruit, and shakes. Mike, who works here, was sweet enough to let me take his picture. Next time I am in the area and hungry I would to try one of their sandwiches
