“ Such a great bar/cafe!! Friendly staff and such fun music. A real east village gem! Easily can stay from the morning to get work done and enjoy a coffee to night to enjoy a glass of Mollie's Motive (their #1 drink! Get it!!) Great vibes! ”
“ I’m always on the search for cute places to work on my laptop, and this cafe/bar popped up! She’s a cute little place in east village, posing as a cafe in the day time (with a wider selection of brunch food during the weekends), and a radio bar during the nighttime. I came during a Sunday morning, and it was pretty empty, but a lot of people filtered in closer to noon. The barista/bartender was really friendly, and the overall vibes were nice. A lot of people came to just talk with their friends, but there were a sizable amount of people who came to work on their laptops. I got the salted maple latte, which was the right balance of salty and sweet, and it came in this cute glass mug! I also got the softies on sourdough, which really hit the spot. The eggs came with a good chili oil crunch, a feta spread, and scallions. It was a good balance, and the chili crisp really tied it all together! All in all, I’d definitely come back! It’s a cute working space for those who need it. ”
“ My favorite local spot. Very well thought out atmosphere and cocktails. The carrot tale tastes just like a carrot cake. Will also recommend the chai espresso martini ”
“ Amazing spot to work remotely! They play very chill music, which makes it a perfect spot to focus. There’s one high top table, two larger booths, and several bar spots to work from as well. Was very quiet 8-10am, picked up after but still plenty of open spots to work. I ordered a cappuccino (4.50) and a butternut squash danish (6). ”
“ Really lovely cafe/bar. The ambiance is intriguing, the coffee is fantastic and the staff is extremely friendly. ”
“ Excellent chill cafe bar that you can work at or grab a drink and chat with a friend. The staff were all very friendly and the space had a bright and vibrant atmosphere. The BLT sandwich was very savory without being too salty or greasy. I just wish it were a bit larger for the price. The sparkling rose on the menu is also super yummy. ”
“ My go-to coffee shop for days I work from home, or when I just want to grab a coffee to-go. Great coffee and a small but tasty food menu. Comfortable seating with lots of available outlets when you work indoors. Adorable little backyard to work outside, which is partially shaded with lots of seating. Just note that the WiFi doesn’t extend to the backyard, I use a hotspot when working back there. And the staff are so friendly. Shoutout to Quinn in particular, but everyone is great. ”
“ I went with friends for happy hour. Their cocktails were delicious. I love cocktails, and I know this place is a must-visit. Definitely coming back! And they have a DJ; the music was so great... loved the vibe there. ”
