Description

Beloved by longtime regulars for friendly, fast service, late hours and wallet-friendly prices, this neighborhood espresso stand offers solid takeout, bagels, pastries and a variety of coffees and Lotus Italian sodas. Loyal baristas create a welcoming, family-like vibe, but drink quality can be inconsistent—espresso sometimes weak or over-milked—and serious management and hygiene issues (including high staff turnover and a past mite infestation) have been reported. Worth a visit for quick, affordable caffeine and friendly faces, but be mindful of uneven quality and operational concerns.

Best coffee shop around. The ladies are so nice. Thanks for the many years of triple shot cappuccinos. Will continue coming here for many more.

In a world grounded in order, the espresso that flows from this machine should be a thick, dark embodiment of delight—much like a river of ink celebrating the rich nectar that has fueled civilizations since the Ottomans first discovered these magical beans. Instead, what emerges from this machine is a pale, lackluster mixture, reminiscent of a forgotten backwater stream, completely devoid of the deep, enchanting flavor that espresso should possess. To add insult to injury, an overwhelming amount of milk dilutes whatever meager character this brew might have offered, transforming my cup into a swirling sea of blandness. I’m left holding what is labeled as ‘coffee,’ but is, in reality, a betrayal of the very essence of coffee—70% disappointment and an aftertaste of sadness.

The staff turnover rate is horrendous, and they struggle to keep employees. I worked incredibly hard for this company, complying with every request, yet I'd come into work each morning only to be yelled at. Perhaps the most alarming issue was the mite infestation that lasted over a month without any action taken. The mites were in everyone's drinks, crawling on us, and even getting into our cars—literally everywhere. Management instructed us not to inform customers, which is unacceptable. The entire experience became exhausting and created a toxic work environment. I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere for employment.

In a well-ordered universe, the divine beverage that should flow from this espresso machine is a rich, dark elixir—akin to a deep ink that pays homage to the nectar that has fueled civilizations since the Ottomans discovered the wondrous coffee bean. Instead, what emerges is a pale, uninspired brew that resembles a stagnant creek, devoid of the deep, enchanting allure that real espresso possesses. To make matters worse, an overwhelming amount of milk drowns any trace of flavor this drink might have contained, leaving me with a cup that resembles a swirling sea of blandness. What I hold is deceptively labeled as 'coffee,' yet in truth, it is a betrayal of the very essence of the drink—filled to the brim with disappointment and leaving a lingering taste of sadness.
