This cafe is a gem. Coffee is prepared skilfully, tastes amazing, Jen is super friendly and it’s just the best spot to sit and chill for a while. My fave in NYC.

Left home to come to Brooklyn on a quick trip. After we came to this shop it felt like we were leaving home to go home. The Barista and a guest also helped us find the best pizza at Luigi’s. Thanks We’ll see you again

Really beautiful, warm, cozy little cafe with very good espresso. Even a little bar to sit at. Very clean stylish bathroom. All is small but very well taken care of and a reason why we love small directly owned cafes só much more than fancy or chain hipster coffee shops. - go support!

Best coffee shop on 5th Avenue in Park Slope. Super personable owner (Jen), friendly baristas, the coffee is great and special orders are handled perfectly. The environment is small and cozy and people actually know each other's names. It's the only cafe in Brooklyn where I feel like setting down my phone, taking in the environment and interacting with other people.

Excellent! Love my morning coffee by Jenn. I’ve been going there for 7 years now. It’s cozy and chic. At night time the have “Martin at Night” vibes are awesome- people love it there from the community. When the weather is great, they have a small table outside for coffee. Coffee is bold like a French roast. They have beans by the bag and you get a free coffee with a purchase. I like it here so much that I’ve bought merchandise- a cap and a tumbler to represent.

The best coffee in New York! Full disclosure, I’ve only been here for four days, but I stand by my comment as I have been drinking quite a lot of coffee. A lovely little place, wonderful people, and great music. If I lived round the corner I’d be a daily regular. And if I lived elsewhere in the city I’d make a special trip.

A very chill cafe, can sit and enjoy. The tunes are for coffee and the woman is very kind who made our cafecito. The beans they use are perfectly roasted. Can’t wait to come back
