    Nice coffee shop. Good pastries and coffee. Only thing is there’s no where to sit at this location.

    A little bit pricey but their latte tastes quite smooth and creamy. The atmosphere is quite nice. Was about to complain that I didn’t see any ghosts at all, but… How would I even know @-@

    Walked in on Wednesday morning in full construction gear, guy at the counter was welcoming. He took my order ice read eye with oat milk, he suggested the raspberry filled croissant. It was fresh & flaky filled with the perfect amount of raspberry, my drink was great definitely tasted the expreso.

    Great staff with nice outdoor seating for warm sunny days. Coffee is fantastic and can really get you going depending on how strong of a brew you want. Lots of choices.

    Small coffee shop, good for Grab and Go, no seating area. Great tasting coffee, not burnt.

    Decent iced mocha latte. Could have used a bit more mocha in it. Pricey for the location. Would need to check out other options in the area before I would come back to this spot. It has a nice space on the inside but it’s incredibly small with no chairs.

    Nice small cafe with a small breakfast menu. My latte wasn’t very strong - more milky. 5 x small tables inside. No WiFi. Strong cooking smell inside so you don’t want to hang around too long but it’s ok to stop by.

    Cute spot that’s open early and close to Fort Greene park. Coffee was great and staff were kind and friendly. Didn’t try any food on the menu but it looked like a good spot for a croissant or something on the go. Small interior with minimal seating, but there was a bench outside as well.

    First time here and it exceeded my expectations! The lattes are delicious. I appreciate the options of oat, almond, and soy milk and I'm sure others do too! One of the better coffee shops I have been to. The vibe has a relaxed and calm feel. The staff is also personable which is a huge plus!

    Amazing coffee. Gives me a real boost of energy and i honestly don’t even crash later on. I always get a flavored Oat Latte and its so delicious

    Nice coffee and staff. Would be better if the food was not exposed, maybe sliding door? Will be back for the delish coffee

  • 3/5 Christina A. 8 months ago on Google
    Good for a quick cup of coffee, no wait for service. There was one small table outside and a bar area where people could stand inside and eat/drink, but otherwise, a very small place that may not suit dining-in. There was a small selection of pastries available.

  • 5/5 Luz V. Aguirre A. 9 months ago on Google
    Tried different matchas in the city and this one was the best one!!

  • 5/5 Remembering T. 10 months ago on Google
    I found it to be a perfect respite in a ratchet or otherwise unsoothing neighborhood. Their food options are on the thinner side. Totally pointless if you want a meal, but great coffee, cozy atmosphere despite rather uncomfortable seating.

  • 5/5 Erika A. 5 years ago on Google
    Coffee was perfect- I had a cappuccino. While coffee is notoriously bitter (not a bad thing!), their espresso was very smooth... Overall, would definitely visit again and recommend to others!

  • 5/5 Steven H. 1 year ago on Google
    Got a latte with the mocha flavor and it was smooth and flavorful! There’s no indoor seating, only outdoor seating, but there are ledges indoor where you can can stand and work on a laptop or read.

  • 4/5 Alyssa U. 1 year ago on Google
    Good coffee,but slow service! Go when you have some time to enjoy at their outdoor tables!

  • 5/5 Leigh F. 2 years ago on Google
    Really fantastic coffee shop! I got an iced latte and the espresso was fantastic; really bold flavor without a hint of bitterness. It was so smooth that there was no need for any sweetener. My partner got the nitro cold brew which was also quite good, very refreshing. I also got a chuckle out of the decor, they were using old Chemexes as flower vases.

  • 5/5 Immobile B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great coffee, great people. The music is WAY too loud! Can’t even be heard when I order. Turn down the music, keep the cool vibes.

  • 5/5 T A. 1 year ago on Google
    Great beans per the whole chain but it's really the baristas here that are fab.

    Had a quick coffee stop at Hungry Ghost Coffee during my NYC trip and enjoyed the delicious flat white. Service was fast and friendly. The store is pretty small and neatly decorated. There are a couple of standing bars by the window and two benches outside.

    Ordered a vanilla latte and a vanilla doughnut. Latte was good, but had no vanilla. Doughnut was fine, but also sort of lacking in vanilla.

  • 2/5 Utsav S. 2 years ago on Google
    Asked for a cortado which was just a plain steam milk and coffee. What’s the point of expensive coffee machine when baristas out in zero or no effort. Appalled

  • 5/5 Jim W. 2 years ago on Google
    Great coffee shop. Super friendly staff and the nitro cold brew is amazing.

  • 5/5 Christine N. 2 years ago on Google
    great coffee, and really friendly baristas. The inside is too small for you to sit inside and drink your coffee, but they have a few tables outside you can sit at. Bonus: they usually have dog treats!

    I used to manage a coffee shop, and I had to train baristas in pulling a good shot. There are two things I’m experiencing in drinking the coffee that concerns me: 1. The coffee tastes sour in both the espresso and the drip. The grind size should be adjusted regularly, usually finer if sour, coarser if bitter. 2. I watched three different baristas spin the tamper in the portafilter and press at the same time. This can cause issues with pulling the shot as well. One sharp, firm, but not heavy, press of the espresso should be enough. Otherwise the espresso grounds may shift and not have even distribution so the water can flow through equally.
