This cozy Alphabet City nook pairs drinks like yuja espresso tonics with a curated mix of books, art, and clothing.
Description
The drink menu goes beyond the basics, offering black sesame lattes, matcha slush, and citron iced coffee alongside drip coffee brewed from Brooklyn-roasted Variety beans. It is a tiny operation, run by a friendly team, where the food menu centers on avocado toast. Because of the very limited indoor space, most patrons grab their drinks to go, though you can nab one of the few outdoor bistro tables if they are free.
