i’ve been going here since i first moved here, amazing place
I enjoyed their coffee very much. (They use coffee beans from Cafe Umbria if I remember correctly). Super convenient location to grab coffee or a snack if you are in Cowen park.
I'd been going here off and on for over a decade now, but the owner still treats me rudely and in a very unfriendly manner. To be fair, I think she just treats everyone that way - I've talked to other people who've had the same experience: zero customer service, she treats you as if you're interrupting her important day and she's doing you a favor by selling you a cup of coffee. Never seen her smile. Marked contrast to the grocery next door (a sister business), where the couple who run it are reasonably friendly and outgoing.The last straw was today, when my wife picked me up a le Fournil sandwich at the cafe. The sandwich must have been at least several days old - the bread was completely soggy, the lettuce was wilted and brown at the edges. Not going back!The cafe is usually pretty empty and I don't see how it can survive much longer, given the owner's concerted efforts to drive customers away. Too bad, as it's a good location - right by Cowan Park - and has so much potential.

I came across Mrs Rachael Raschke when she appeared as a guest on a Forex Podcast in USA. I was listening to and was very impressed with her straight forward approach and the principles of her
If I could give no stars I would. Very bad customer service. I used to go to this cafe often, but then the owner began to treat me rudely for no reason sometime back. So I stopped going so often. This morning I went in to buy pastry and she gave me a hard time for buying 3 pastries. Said I was taking away from her regular customers. I said I used to be. She said her everyday customers. She went to said that if I were to do that in the future to order the day before and prepay. Seriously? For 3 pastries? I said I could also go down the street to Il Fournil Bakery and them there. She asked if I wanted to do that now? I thought about it, but bought the 3 measly pastries and left. But how rude. And to think I once went there during the pandemic and left a $50 tip for a cup of coffee. I truly wish to support my neighbors, but I will never go there again and tell everyone I know of my experiences and encourage them to go a few blocks away to Seven, where the service is considerably better. Or even Herkimers, just around the corner. I have always been polite to the owner, but she has always been rude to me. Such a shame.
Absolutely love this place. Everyone is so friendly even during these tough times. Definitely a quiet neighborhood joint.
Grocery shop with all the basics and a nice cafe. Coffee is great and the quality of sweet treats was surprisingly good.
The lady was very rude — if you’re so miserable running a coffee shop then maybe it’s not the right job for you. The dessert we got was too sweet and artificial tasting. Coffee was meh.
My local corner store. Love this place everybody working there hella friendly
