Was Jesse K at Hungry Ghost a mag?
Pretty standard coffee shop. Good amount of seating in a fairly open space. I had a matcha latte (not bad, not great) as well as a really good olive oil loaf. Service was standard, quick and simple View all feedback.

What Jessica B dislikes about Hungry Ghost:
I had a taste for iced coffee and I went to Door Dash Kitchens first but they didn't have simple syrup. Nowadays, I can't drink my iced coffee/cold brew without some simple syrup--the granulated sugar just sits at the bottom. I pulled up my Yelp app and found Hungry Ghost. There's no seating inside, just a bar, I guess to fix your drinks and I think there's a bench or some sort of seating outside. Basically, it's a g... View all feedback.

This is one of the best indie coffeehouses in Manhattan. Not necessarily THE best, but certainly ONE OF the best. Great coffee, cool chic interior, and cook chill baristas

This place HATES their customers. No outlets, no WiFi, and how DARE you be so mainstream as to ask. If you have some sort of ‘philosophy’ against people working from your cafe that’s perfectly fine, but at least put a note on your website or Google Maps pin. And don’t be so judgey and rude if someone asks a perfectly reasonable question for a coffee shop as 95% of them in BK do have WiFi and/or outlets. Felt very judged and wanted to leave as soon as possible, unfortunately already ordered and paid by the time I asked.

Great place for coffee and morning snacks. The cheddar and dill biscuits are awesome when avaliable... they go fast, so get their early.

Chill spot but the baristas were very cold towards me. I dont want to make it sound like a race thing. But sheesh it was pretty obvious when a pretty young white couple asked 100 questions about coffee they got every answer they could seek. All I did was ask about my order the dude snapped at me. I still left a tip just wont go there again. The first visit was smooth after that I got treated differently and I wasnt rude. I was patient in waiting my turn. I didnt skip any one. I even held the door open for an employee bringing in items. So to get spoken to in a manner that 's not respectful was such a turn off. I 'd give one star but the matcha and coffee is actually really good. Dont go there if you look different . That 's all I can say.

Nice coffee spot that serves stumptown coffee roasters

Hungry Ghost is a grab-and-go coffee spot that offers basic coffee drinks, but lacks marked sweetener options. Some customers found the staff to be cold and unfriendly, with service being slow and energy in the cafe feeling off. However, others appreciated the personal touch of the baristas and the cozy atmosphere of the shop. While the space is small and prices are high, the quality of the coffee and baked goods is impressive, making it a worthwhile stop for those passing by.

One of my all time favorite spots for a delicious cup of latte! I love the atmosphere inside with the sun getting through the windows and sitting on the bench outside is lovely too!Food: 5/5

I don’t know. I’ve been here three times. The latest visit over the weekend they were packed. The one thing that stood out the most was the girl who was dressed like she was doing a remake of the 80’s show Fame. Her hair looked wet (I’m sure the product she used deliberately made it that way) and she was “nicesty”. I’m always one for everyone express themselves but that outfit was inappropriate. Her stomach was exposed while were tight legging and a tight halter top. However I listened to how she was talking to people and it she was short. Nice but you can tell she was annoyed. I don’ know. Then the staff were having chatting sessions while there was a line out the door. One barista making coffee. The energy in that place was cold. I definitely won’t be back.

There's no seating inside, just a bar, I guess to fix your drinks and I think there's a bench or some sort of seating outside. Basically, it's a grab and go place. They just give you the coffee and you pour your milk of choice and sweetener. While I was in there, another customer saw me pouring the syrup--he didn't even know it was there because it's not marked. Overall, it's nothing memorable but it will do the job.
