    The cutest and most delicious cafe! The Fantasy smoothie is the perfect balance of sweet and fresh. Great service, great Wi-Fi. So glad to have this spot in the neighborhood.

    Great cafe with a delicious egg & cheese croissant sandwich. Staff was extremely friendly and food was made fresh! Cute outdoor seating and free wifi. Definitely would go back.

    The atmosphere and food was great. I got the lox and goat cheese panini and it came with a side salad and was a good price. A great place to do work! The service was also good, they remade my drinks to be iced! The only downside was their iced oat latte. For anyone who is like me and prefers Oatly, or very milky oat lattes in general, these aren't for you. Otherwise, you're good! Their iced coffee is good, as well.

    First of all when I walked in, the girl was sweeping floors and went straight to get my order without washing her hands first she surge me coffee. I would stay away from ordering Cobb salad there. It was the worst of anything I've ever ate. For $16 you will get 3 iceberg lettuce leaves, quarter of terrible tomato, few pieces of the most horrible prepared chicken and quarter of cucumber.

    Came here to work for a bit on a Tuesday. Completely empty inside except the computer tables were mostly full so I sat on a side table out of the way. Later a worker came in and insisted I pack up and move to the long tables even though the place was completely empty inside except those two tables. Too bad, I came here all the time with my wife. So annoying. Could have just asked that I move if it gets busy.

    Muse Cafe was excellent came in with my lady to get some work done, easy access to Wi-Fi. Ordered a Golden Latte with an Apple Turnover, it was great the apple turnover filling is a texture closer to a thick apple sauce which was great and the crust was fluffy, so good. The Golden Latte was delicious my first time trying one and it was heavenly. Order was ready fairly quickly and everyone around us seemed to enjoy their meals as well, manager is attentive as well as baristas. Restroom is well kept and location is great (busy yet quiet but not too busy) sat here for maybe 3 or four hours and no one waits for a table but it’s maintains a cozy feel. The Apple Turnover I would recommend to anybody. The only negative which was still delicious was the cheese danish I ordered it was great but the crust was almost like a savory crust which would pair well with a meat and cheese pastry instead but held up well to balance out the sweetness.

    Perfect neighborhood spot. Wide range of healthy breakfast and lunch options, reasonable decor, great coffee and espresso drinks, and a range of indoor and outdoor seating. Prices are fair, and service is great.

    I’ve been there already couple of times. Most of the time I’m ordering muse panini (highly recommend). This time I also decided to have a berry crunch shake - delicious! It’s a very cute spot in the neighborhood!

    Very nice local cafe with a cozy outdoor seating area. The offerings are surprisingly varied for such a small place, and the food is excellent with good sized portions. Their iced herbal tea was terrific and refreshing. I would only eat outdoors here since the indoor space is too small for my liking, but would definitely consider taking out, because the food is quite good. Great to have a nice place of this kind in the neighborhood!

    Great place to study and/or hang out. Had their lox panni and was to die for. The banana bread warmed up was delicious.

    Food, drinks, vibe, and customer service are all wonderful at Muse. I meet people for work meetings and personal catch-ups with friends. Lots of healthy options, extensive menu, and all the people who work here are lovely and professional.

    I come here often and enjoy the coffee every time. The food is also consistently good. Nothing fancy but always solid. The atmosphere is also warm and welcoming and I feel very comfortable here. Thanks!! <3

    My favorite coffee shop in South Slope! Great, strong coffee, lots of pastries (including gluten free and vegan ones), and a whole menu of breakfast and lunch foods. Really friendly staff, and a really cute atmosphere with specific areas meant for laptop work (good wifi), and other areas for non-internet-interaction. My favorite part is the outdoor seating, some sunny spots and some shady ones under a beautiful plum tree!

    Melanie was so nice at the counter! Their homemade Keto muffins are the best! I’ll be coming back ASAP!!

  • 5/5 Jeffrey C. 1 year ago on Google
    Comfy local café, friendly service, great coffee, terrific selections of baked goods (muffins, breads, keto options), wraps, salads‐ lots of options for breakfast/brunch/lunch. Outdoor tab li es for the warmer weather. Highly recommend!

  • 4/5 Michael B. 1 year ago on Google
    The food here has gotten aggressively expensive for what it is, and the “no laptop use” signs are off putting for what’s supposed to be a neighborhood coffee shop. Food and drinks however are solid and the outdoor seating makes for a nice to place to perch on 6th ave when the weather is nice.

  • 5/5 Linda M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great little coffee shop with lots of food choices! Will definitely go there often.

    I first came to this Cafe while I was visiting Parkslope about 3 yrs go. I was looking for something nearby, just a cup of iced coffee and maybe something to nibble on. This is the beginning and a never ending love story of when I purchased my 1st crossaint. These are the best croissants that I have had the pleasure and joy to taste. It is not too thick, the perfect amount of butter, perfectly flaky, the softest center and I appreciate the fact I don't have to have it warmed up to enjoy (unlike most croissants I've had). The owner was a joy to chat with and I had to share with him of this magical little pastry. The staff is always accommodating and attentive with a smile everytime. My heart belongs to these crossaints. Muse, i love you.

    Good food and a great variety of options to choose from. The service is laid back and friendly, yet speedy. There's never too long of a wait. Love the outdoor seating!

  • 4/5 Laramie F. 2 years ago on Google
    Clean and well decorated and friendly enough. Two issues. They shouldn't call themselves a 'tea' place when they just have a meh selection of cheap tea bags you can buy at the store. Every coffee shop has this. I also was irritated that the place was almost completely empty but there was a 'no laptops sign' on every table forcing me to sit at a communal table which isn't as comfortable. Maybe pick up a couple of those when it's late in the day and the place is empty.

    Such a good neighborhood cafe — exactly what you want in this neighborhood run by locals. Definitely beats the corporate Blank Street up the block

    I got to try a Golden Latte and drank it all. I’m not a milk fan but this was nice. I also had the goat cheese and portabella omelette which was delicious.

  • 3/5 amira a. 10 months ago on Google • 1 review
    I’m only giving this establishment 3 stars because of the customer service! The atmosphere and food was a 10! A great place to work for a few hours midday! However, the women behind the counter today was unfriendly and not welcoming at all. However I observed her being partial to other patrons who walked in. When I questioned the price of my salad and asked simple questions she didn’t make eye contact and was not at all friendly. At one point she even said “I don’t make the prices.” Just rude and very unwelcoming! A great establishment but they’d benefit even more by having someone friendly behind the counter who treated everyone with the same kindness!
