Unassuming little coffee bar you could easily miss if you don’t have sharp eyes. Friendly service and clearly a neighborhood fav. Absolutely delicious scone with chamomile and white chocolate and other ingredients I forgot. Chai latte was good. Worth a stop for sure.

Am I in Red Hook? Heaven? Love this place so much. Their savory sandwiches are an excellent addition to the wonderful pastry and bagel offerings. Coffee is spectacular. I appreciate the space they create and share. Looking forward to trying a Golden Demise evening meal.

If you are ever in the Brunswick area, you have to go to Dog Bar Jim! Especially on a Friday night— Jack and I had the BEST burgers ever, like it was insane. A super special spot with even better decor. The staff was also super kind and inviting. Michael was our server and just the best! Will absolutely be coming back.

Quirky coffee shop. It’s a must for us to visit anytime we’re in town. Ben, the proprietor, loves to talk with everyone. I usually get one of their coffee drinks, and sometimes a pastry. The selection is limited, but it’s a small, local shop. It’s very popular, so be prepared to wait in line.

Loved their breakfast sandwiches and coffee on point. Veggie options were quite tasty. Service was superb and great vibes overall! Will definitely be coming back soon. Girlfriend review: A true hidden gem of Brunswick. The espresso (straight or in the latte) tastes straight from Italy. The food tastes like the people cooking it actually care, to which they do. The service was refreshing and vibes immaculate.
