Alejandro and his staff are truly one of a kind. Focusing on old school hospitality and service, this cafe is a breath of fresh air as someone in the industry and an avid NYC coffee lover. They are the only US shop using the Decent espresso machine and man does it preform with Alejandro and friends at the helm. Regalia coffee is served and is exceptional as always. The food is incredible as well. I had one of the better BEC’s of my life here on a sausage and cheese biscuit… expectedly I was out of commission the rest of the day… Overall and 10/10 experience and I will be coming back… often.

This little cafe has it lox down! From their fresh baked focaccia topped with smoked salmon and cream cheese to their warm cappuccino. Barista was quick and friendly. I even had to take a matcha to go. Not too sweet and you can taste the matcha. Will be back next time I’m in the city.

It's a nice place to go near the water. Very relaxing, bring your own food or they got some places there where you can buy some, but very relaxing. Could even have a little picnic. They got benches and chairs. It's a great place. I remember this place when I was growing up. It was nothing but dirt and grass back in the 70s and look at it. Now it's still got the old train tracks cuz. They used to park all the work trains there. When it came from the boat. But it's a big change and very relaxing. And for people like me, that grew up in this neighborhood and know the story about this place is very good. I wish I had photos from back then. In the days, but nobody knew this was gonna turn out to be this way. And there was also an old choochu train parked by the front.Just sitting there, they should have left it as a museum and just locked it down.So nobody will mess with it.But overall place look really nice

Alita's cold brew is a standout—smooth, refreshing, and absolutely worth trying. But one of the real gems here is their homemade jam. It's perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, and pairs beautifully with their croissants. Picture this: the flaky, buttery layers of a croissant complemented by a luscious dollop of jam in every bite. It's a match made in heaven!

Super community-engaged cafe around the area. Pretty tiny but you got technically everything, sandwiches, pastries, coffee. Food and drinks were 4ish overall, 5 as the total for the whole place! Cappuccino was a classic, on a bitter side. Almond croissant was delightful, slightly different from normal bakeries. Soft texture with a nice smell. 🍌🍞Banana bread was surprisingly delicious! Moist but not too oily! Super simple but perfectly. Chocolate chip cookie was a classic too, nothing went wrong. Would go back to try sandwiches..!

Walked by on my way to drop something off and stopped by right after as needed a morning coffee. Listen - I think this was the best almond croissant I have ever had that I'm writing about it! Was so good I was sad to finish it. Also the guy with the whiskey hat - so kind and joyous - he threw like little cheese(?) balls to a dog for fun treats which was so cute. Anyway, i will find a reason to make my package returns there if it means a cappuccino and a yummy almond croissant! Thanks!

What a wonderful place! The staff was so fun and the atmosphere extremely warm and inviting. The cappuccino was foamy and so smooth. They were even nice to my service pup and had no issues with us inside. Seems like the perfect place to be a regular. Will be back 110% also the in house baked goods where 🤌<3

Okay people, stop going to Starbucks. Come here instead. These folks actually care about you. Seriously though, the brisket sandwich we had was amazing. The coffee is great and reasonably priced. They support other small businesses in the city as well and told us about this awesome stamp shop in Manhattan. The people that run this place are soooo nice!

Great great grand breakfast sandwich. And they have a gluten free biscuit, which makes the perfect base for a gluten free breakfast sandwich !! I think the breakfast sandwich is only available weekends. Super nice people. Sandwich was greasy but not too greasy. They cook the bacon in honey which makes it SO yummy. They use Canadian bacon which is such a fun surprise and so delish. A small area to sit. Will be returning 100%

Weekend breakfast sandwich on a gluten free scone was YUM!!!! Thick bacon. A delicious caramelized sauce. Big big egg. Hugely messy lol but delightful. My friend & I split it, I enjoyed the portion size of the half! Tbh gluten free scone didn’t even taste GF in the sandwich. Cute little spot too and friendly staff ❤️
