Enjoy the food here and the atmosphere here. There French Toast was slamming and loved how cozy it was. Ordered the eggs on the side to get my daily delicious dose of protein 💪🏽 but I had to go without it since they never came to the table. But everything else was good :).
Cute and cozy little cafe. It’s very small, but they have wall shelf seating if you’re just having coffee. They also have a $5 egg and cheese on a brioche bun or bagel. Total for the items in the photos was $27 with tax and tip. Not too expensive, but not cheap for breakfast. The omelette was $12. Green tea latte was great. Get their melted butter for your toast and put a bit of salt on (so good).
A cozy little cafe with scrumptious little cafe foods and treats. Good place to pick up a latte to go. A charming staff as well!
Cozy little place, good for breakfast on the go. I find their breakfast sandwiches outrageously expensive compared to anywhere else in this specific neighborhood. Their avocado toast is actually very well priced, pretty huge and filling too. Employees are super friendly. All in all I do enjoy going here for breakfast or to grab a cup of coffee.
Went here on the recommendation of a friend and boy, am I glad I did! Cozy underground coffee shop and cafe. Great quality coffee with a couple of unique drinks, as well as tasty pastries.I’m quite picky about my coffee, and this place does it for me. There’s nothing more disappointing then getting a coffee/latte with a burnt taste, that you need to cover up with cream and sugar. I’ve also found that a lot of shops tend to be inconsistent, especially with different baristas or different times of day. Both times I went here, the coffee was good and that was with two different baristas. Score!Very good things to say about the lavender agave latte! I love it. My girlfriend had the caramel latte, which was also great. Tried the almond croissant which was very tasty as well. A touch too buttery for me, but overall, super delicious (and what you get a pastry for 😋).Pricing is normal for a coffee shop. Anywhere from $3.50-$5.00 for your cup. Definitely getting your worth here though!Will definitely keep returning here and recommend to others!#sugarhill #coffee #cafe #café #pastry #lavenderagavelatte #sugarhillcafe #underground #cozy
Great attention to details, the owner is nice and cool, very dedicated to the community and the mood there is great, I hope they still have their famous lavender lattes omg
Unfriendly staff member, especially a young guy that works in the morning.Condescending attitude and bad services, kind of mocking me.I had a terrible experience when I asked regarding the options of dishes
Food absolutely delish! Service hot & cold: forgot to send our order into kitchen, but otherwise great attitude.
Great coffee, service and breakfast. Healthy yummy food. This rating is for the weekend menu only! The weekday rating would be a 2 star at best.
Although its a small place, food is amazing. Choose this based on google reviews.Visited for brunch around 11am. Was crowded.I had Sugar Hill Classic (Sunny Side Up) with Siam Basil Lemongrass Tea. - The tea was exceptional...!My husband had Ooo La Lai French Toast with Matcha Latte.We both enjoyed our selections.
Lovely little cafe, perfect for breakfast/brunch on a week day. It’s a bit packed on the week end, so choose your time of visit wisely. The service was really nice and warm, and the playlist was the cherry on top. :p
Really quaint cafe with surprisingly good coffee, hard to find this far uptown. Beans are from Plowshares, but the level of care the shop puts into prep extends beyond their choice of Roaster. The batch brew is just as lovely as their signature espresso drinks. The staff is friendly and skilled, and the decor / outdoor seating make for a wonderful experience.
Cozy cafe with coffee and outlets. Kimchi omelette was delicious and the coffee is hot and fresh. You could come here to do a small group project, individual study, quick bite to grab, a cute date.They have ig @sugarhillcafe for more pictures.
Sugar Hill Cafe is a great place to unwind, detox from the city and or start the day off with a smile! Pleasant, smart, courteous and unpretentious staff are the kind of people you want around not just in your cafe but in the world. The coffee is made with care, unlike on an assembly line (Starbucks etc) and devilishly delectable pastries. Overall the ambience is a treat, an oasis in an otherwise less than savory area.
Small, but cozy cafe in this area. Food was really good and the staff was friendly. However, they didn’t have some things from the menu available (cold brew).Overall great experience.
Awesome (& free) Friday night comedy show!! The hot chocolate was very good too :) I will definitely come back on Friday nights
Absolutely loved Sugar Hill Cafe! My wife and I had a delicious breakfast and some mimosas . The egg burrito with chorizo and the California crepe were divine!
What a lovely place.The staff was adorable, the food was great and the place was quiet (according to US standard) and cosy.Such a good café to start the day!And the french toast was perfect ! Im starving just to think about it again.
The baristas here really know how to make a latte. Unfortunately, on my most recent visit they were having issues with their AC. It was a little hot and uncomfortable for me, but I think the worst thing is it was really hot for their employees who are stuck there all day. The barista who served me was anxious to be gone, was closing up early, and was pretty surly. I had been planning to meet a friend there, but that didnt work out because they were closing so soon. I should also mention that on other days Ive shown up before their opening hour of 9 a.m. (why so late!?) and theyve served me even though I was early, so thats a big plus. They definitely make some of the best coffee in this area, and if only their opening hours were a little bit more regular and you could count on them being open, this place would be one of my favorite places in Hamilton Heights.
Attentive and friendly staff, and the coffee was good. However, the food was too small for how costly it was and it was lacking flavor. It was one of the most disappointing omelettes I ever had. Also, the space is too small and it doesn’t really have a nice ambience. I would recommend just getting a coffee to go.
.Pros:(+) Rustic cozy little coffee shop(+) Free WiFi(+) Near the corner of the A, B, C, D train(+) Student discount(+) Punch card(+) Vegan optionsCons:(-) Breakfast options are not consistently available since they “run out” of items, like bagel and cream cheese in the morning.(-) Kitchen is in consistent. Some days they are open, some days they are closed early. Don’t depend on food always available here. Depend on coffee...and that’s what I come for.
Cute Cafe, very nice , we have to come back without the baby, so we can get the full experience 😉
Great spot for coffee and light fare. I like the casual ambience and rustic feel. Serious about their coffee and classic rock.
Great service they comped our meals because one meal came really late. We didnt notice because we were so into our conversations we had a great time even came back for brunch next day.
I absolutely love this place. The staff is wonderful, friendly, and I cant say enough nice things about them. The food is delicious and the coffee is amazing. I love coming here to study, read a book, or even just to get out of the house.
Super cute cafe with the friendliest staff who will remember who you are and carry a conversation with you. The food and drinks are wonderful and it’s just a nice little cozy atmosphere I like to sit in before going into work in the morning
I absolutely loved the food here and the staff were exceptionally nice but absolutely careless when I said I had an allergy to avocados. They said they just ran out and I “should be fine” but approximately 20-30 minutes after I had eaten part of their salad I still got sick and had to use my antihistamines and epipen. I wasn’t disappointed in the food by any means but I was certain they did not take the necessary precautions they were supposed to with food allergies. If I didn’t have this issue it would have easily been a 5 star experience and I would love to eat here again since I live so close. But I don’t think I can as a result of my own condition. I hope the workers and owner sees this review and is able to fix this sort of problem, as it seems a lot of New Yorkers have no idea what allergies actually do to people.Coffee was great, food was delicious- still had an allergic reaction to what was likely cutting board remnants, sadly. Luckily my reaction wasn’t bad enough to hospitalize me, but the staff need to be more careful.
I order the French toast for delivery it was delicious, the almonds the caramel and the jam and fresh berries were spot on. You wont regret it.
I worked here and they tell us to lie to the health inspector about access to the back closet bc it’s so disgusting. Go to Chipped Cup instead.
Enjoyed this visit very much. I hadnt been here since before covid, and Im glad they survived. The staff this morning were very friendly and efficient.
Perfect staff, food and coffee .I personally believe it is one of the best in this city.Eggquisite avotoast is amazing.Strongly recommend
I love this place.bagels are on another level.service- excellent!
This site is my number one site. Of all restaurants I know I love it most. I never miss an opportunity to go to this restaurant. when I I need a special supper, this place comes immediately to my mind. splendid and food and a rich menu.professional team, and agreeable mood. Also, the charge is affordable. I recommend this spot with no hesitation.
Food was good, coffee was tasty, service was great. Really good ambiance. A gem in the neighborhood
Coffee was less then tasty actually tasted flat and was not hot at all.. two minutes after sitting down to try to drink a not good coffee ..a lady comes up to the outdoor sitting and says the other door sitting closes in 5 minutes and within 2 minutes she is moving and dusting 2 feet away from me.. I will never go back..should be name sour hill.One star for lack of manners only because I cannot give zero stars.. attention managers..if you are selling bad tasting coffee atleast give patrons time to finish it.
Guys, you definitely need one more chef or smbd else in the kitchen. For easy things you have to wait 30min. It’s insane. Girls, pay more attention for your regulars and your neighbors. My husband ordered so many times over the phone. And always there is a mistake in order. Very sad.
Fantastic food!!Abseloutly love this place, great atmosphere and fantastic service!Would definitely reccomend this to anyone and everyone 😄Ps. Get the Oh LaLa french toast - sooo goood 👌🏻
I’m a coffee lover and there’s very little good coffee shops in the area that know their coffee craft, however, I was impressed with the quality of the coffee beans from Sugar Hill Café. The coffee is rich in flavor so if you’re looking for a great espresso shot or coffee drink I recommend it. I will be coming here often. Great place.
Delicious coffee. This place serves delicious espresso drinks! We had a double espresso and a lavander agave latte, both were prepared accurately and tasted great. The barista was very nice and willing to make recommendations.
Lovely Cafe with great food!
Cute place, good vibes, friendly staff. It’s a bit small as far as seating options, but also adds to the cozy feel.
Such great coffee and service! Delicious pumpkin spice latte and pastries from Balthazar..NY dreams made in Heaven for this visiting Londoner
We ate at the Sugar Hill Cafe twice for breakfast/brunch. It was by far our favorite food spot during our trip. If we lived in the area we would be regulars! Its small but we were able to get a table both times. Interesting options for adults and our children. Good sized portions. Food and coffee were delicious. Staff were attentive and friendly. Highly recommend this special spot!
Excellent brunch, affordable price (~12/14$), nice place. Definitely recommended!
Love this place. Great breakfast and brunch selection!
Food here is excellent, and not too pricey. Coffee comes with refills, and that is a big bonus. However, we waited for more than 20 minutes before our orders were taken and 45 before our food was served. It was not very busy. Moreover, the staff was so bad at their jobs to such an extent that it almost felt comical. They seemed to understand that they did a bad job though, so they gave us 10% off the price. Not sure if to rate it 1 or 5 stars, so Ill give them 3.
My friends and I came here for Breakfast early one morning. I was very impressed at the service and the food. The food tasted scrumptious, and the service was surprisingly fast with how busy they were at the time of our visit. One thing I would recommend is, be sure to come here early or as soon as they open if you want eat fast and get your food promptly after you order, as they do get very busy soon after they open up.
Ive walked by this place dozens of times and finally tried it out. Its the best!!! Iced mocha is delicious! The breakfast sandwich on croissant (ham n cheese or tuna, both yummy). And my favorite dish is the Avocado Mash- this yummy mash of avocado over toast (with or without smoked salmon) is not to be missed. A real gem in upper Harlem, especially if you like a place to sit and write or meet up with friends. Really earthy friendly staff. I cannot recommend this place highly enough!
It smelled rather delicious when I entered and the vanilla breve was perfectly okay. I intended to stay for a while with my lap top however the wifi situation is non existent so that was a bummer.
Cute little cafe thats in the basement - cozy and warm with friendly staff. It would be a bit hard to find if not for the sandwich board right outside. Their iced latte was amazing and they give it to you in a stay cup if youre staying. Real cups are the best way to enjoy your beverage. Im intrigued by their homemade cookies, maybe next time!
One of my favorite neighborhood spots. I order Vanilla Chai Latte with Almond milk pretty much everywhere I go. They make one of the best. Staff is friendly, and the mood is always chill here.
This is my third time coming in this week! I had fallen in love. Awesome place! Great vibes... UNTIL this Asian guy who seems to be a manager of some sort went on a rant about “Asian people vs American people” when it comes to recycling. What a terrible thing to rant so negatively about in a shop full of people. He also made his co worker feel super uncomfortable but we appreciate very much how she handled it. Power to you women! ✊🏽 Definitely killed the good vibe. I probably won’t come in when he’s there anymore as that is not the energy I’m looking for with my morning coffee.
Nice place. Nice environment. Ok coffee. Dude but the girl at the cashier...what an attitude!
I may be a little biased but the best coffee and food in town. Staff is extremely courteous and attentive!
Quintessential NYC coffee shop. This is the type of local place that best helps combat gentrification. Great coffee and great people who work there. The charm and quality of this place can simply not be mass produced.Will definitely be a regular stop when Im in the neighborhood.Only nit would be wheelchair accessibility for those that need it, it located in the basement of a brownstone.
Lovely place and great food. Due that is hidden is a quite place.
Coffee was good, the Bagel sandwich with scrambled eggs and cheese was not, there was barely any cheese in the eggs and as a whole it was just tasteless. Also, the manager (an Asian looking guy)was shouting at his staff, threatning to fire someone while the cafe was packed with customers. Very unprofessional!
Great mocha and delicious ham and cheese bagel. Best of all the service is wonderful. I came in for the open mic several days ago and when I came back to get food several days later my name was remembered and I was treated like a regular. Highly recommend this cool little spot.
A nice cozy cafe tucked away near the ACBD. Come for good vibes, good beans, and good food all at a great price. Tables can be limited but the layout for the space is as efficient as it gets. They also do a mean iced mocha!
Super cool, laid-back spot. The thing many of these slight hipster type spots get wrong is the coffee. Their regular coffee is delicious. The staff is really nice and attentive, without being overbearing.
This place is a hidden gem! The food is amazing (the avocado salmon mash was out of this world!!!!), the service is great and very friendly! I definitely recommend going! It was also Valentines Day so the girl working there made special little cupcakes which were so perfectly delicious.
Darn good Kapichino!! Greaat Croissant good might not look pretty but it taste great !
Awesome coffee ☕ drinks and breakfast food! Highly recommend! The dining 🍽 experience was pretty sweet, too!
This place does not exist! We took a Lyft to their address 410 W 145th St, New York, NY 10031 and it is not there! What a waste it time and money. Their phone number does not work either.
Best eggs benedict in NYC. Fight me.
Awesome hidden gem in the area! Highly recommend the lavender agave latte!Really friendly baristas and good vibes are abundant here!
Came here for some coffee and breakfast a few weeks ago. The young women working at the counter were super friendly and welcoming. Coffee and breakfast sandwich were good. Only problem was that it was sort of drafty, so didnt hang out super long.
Great little place with an adorable interior! Coffee is good and the people are friendly. Sometimes it gets a little crowded and busy when there arent enough people working. Drinks are still always great, though, even when theyre super busy!
Great neighborhood shop. Food was great and the iced mocha was so refreshing! Definitly will be back for their after hours speakeasy :)
Wonderful new cafe that opened up a couple weeks ago near the ABCD trains at 145 and a couple short blocks from my house and the #1 train!The decor is pretty on point with that of Chipped Cup, to the point of wondering if its owned by the same people. Either way, coffee is great, wifi is free, tea selection is pretty good and they have a small kitchen!When I spoke to the manager during their opening, he promised there would be a selection of vegan food so I cant wait for them to bring that out! Seating area is small, so be sure to grab one as soon as you can and enjoy the chill vibe =)
Ive probably been here half a dozen times now. I love the ambiance of the place - from the natural light, to the seating and sense of space. I also love the friendly service and the great coffee & tea - as well as the food.
Cozy basement coffee shop - we tried egg sandwiches and lemonades on the most recent visit, but have been several times before for espresso drinks. Food and coffee drinks are consistently good, and everyone behind the counter is super friendly and welcoming.
Its a nice little cafe to get away from the world. I would stop by for a glass of wine or a cup of coffee on my way home from work. People usually come with their laptops and are working. Definitely recommend their tomato bisque and grilled cheese combo!
Great selection great service and there’s a bathroom
We enjoyed a delicious brunch in this cozy spot. Just in New York for the weekend and got a tip to come here from several folks...and Sugar Hill Cafe did not disappoint. Tea and coffee were top rate too. Great, friendly service!
Perfect coffee and great service... We asked via Yelp if he was open here in the blizzard and he answered within an hour. So we ventured out in the snow. Got really good coffee and chai latte. We also got sandwiches to go. Really good too...
Wanted to taste the food however the service was horrible. No one greeted us when we came in. So we sat ourselves and waited for almost 15 minutes with still no service. Saw several other patrons that had their cleared dishes sitting on their tables. Didn’t even see anyone busing tables or bringing checks. Others looked a bit irritated as well. Not sure what their deal is, but we will never return.
A cute coffee shop in Hamilton Heights. They also have pretty good food if you have time to grab a bite! Prices are reasonable and staff is always friendly.
Great coffee. I wish there was more variety in the music that is played. Would like to hear jazz (smooth or traditional ) played SOMETIME... this is Sugar Hill after all & cafe is decorated with jazz related pics.
@sugarhillcafe is the world’s most precious hidden gem... no lies. sunken below the streets of #HamiltonHeights this coffee shop is perfect for a low lit and super casual start to your morning. Sipping on my iced latte and waiting for my green omelette. Give it a try!
Just exceptional and delighted. Served by Ben and got awesome coffee.
Normally I would rate this nice boutique cafe 5 stars without doubt. But the owner(?!), a brown haired girl was so out of humor and really poured bad mood. No clue why.
I stop there often on my way to CCNY and I like thier coffee but their crossaint (plain or chocolate) , cheese danish, muffins or cakes were all so disappointing. They didn’t seem fresh and every time I ended up throwing them in the trash after a few bites and the prices are not reasonable!
Great little cafe. The service is excellent here. I ordered breakfast, and it was delicious. Serving size is perfect, not too small or too big.
Loved this place! We got our food super quick and it was really good and had good prices, too. Not sure why I’ve seen people upset that they sat down and didn’t get service, as you order at the counter and pay when you order.
Hot mocha is delicious! Love the atmosphere. Quiet and tranquil with great jazz playing in the background. If you come here please try the prosciutto panini!
Great drinks, baked goods, and sandwiches. Wifi is bad though, you get 1 hour free on the TWCWifi, and it doesnt work with VPNs and drops the connection constantly. They said the SUGAR HILL CAFE wifi is for the cafes use only.
Coffee was good but their avocado toast (Avocado Mash with Salmon) was made with packaged guacamole not mashed fresh avocados. Obviously it was disgusting and the staffs response was simply thats just how we make it here. Is it not supposed to be with guacamole? Sigh.
Wish I could do a 3.5. Staff is cool, though it can take some time for them to get to you. Space is tight, but cozy. Food is fine, but theyve consistently not had what I wanted, so thats no bueno.
A low key delight near City College. Coffee was smooth and rich. The food was filling and tasty. Cant really comment on price. Im from out of town.
An absolutely wonderful little shop with charm and incredible staff. Eggs Blackstone were to die for!
Waited half an hour for a “grab and go” sandwich and it was very underwhelming for the price. Place was cute tho.
Good food. Very good service
Coffee is decent for New York. Ambiance is good. But be aware, the breakfast sandwich doesnt have eggs. Thats like a pizza not having cheese. You have to tell people ahead of time.
Espresso is really good. Nice quiet place to have breakfast.
Love this place! Albeit small the food, staff, and drinks are really good! Definitely make it a point tip stop for brunch!
I adore this place a lot. theres a great feeling. The food is very tasty. the service is efficient and the personel is well trained. The cost is honest. very much recommend.
Really great turkey panini! The staff is super personable, great music, great spot for lunch. Relaxing hideaway before heading back out into the city!
A quaint little place hidden in the Sugar Hill section of Harlem with the best matcha lattes I ever had. The food is tasty and the atmosphere is very classy
I really wanted to like this place, but the cold brews we ordered were clearly not actual cold brew (rather, bitter iced coffee poured over an entire cup of ice), they were out of half the items on their breakfast menu, and the service was terrible. Would steer clear in the future.
Loved it! Had a classic omelette and I absolutely cleaned my plate 😋
Great food and service fanatic little place to eat and get great coffee.
Small underground gem. The manager is awesome, she always has great coffee and a smile ready for everyone. Nice food options too.
Quaint and lovely little place in the historic Sugar Hill district of Harlem. Delicious coffee, lattes, tea, pastries and light fare. A little gem in the Big city!
Its a cozy cafe with a good selection of baked goods and coffee plus non-coffee options. When I came in it was pretty crowded so I can see why theres just free WiFi for 1 hour.
Clean, friendly and good breakfast. Small and cozy. Nice decor.
Stopped by on a chilly day with my daughter for a cup of hot cocoa and the young man behind the counter took his time to make her a marshmallow bear. It brought a smile to her face and earned him a tip lol.
Delicious! Ladies so nice. Will be back hopefully tomorrow.
Great place to grab a quick cup of coffee on your way to or from the train station. One of the few places in Harlem to get a decent cup of matcha!
Best in uptown. I would say best in nyc.Always great service and coffee. Cozy and perfect food at reasonable priceI love this hidden awesome place
Great food reasonable price nice helpful staff. Healthy food.
First visit - great service at counter, solid sandwich and iced coffee led to productive work sessionSecond visit - waitress with glasses had terrible attitude and spoke very poor English, made me move multiple times, did her job like a robot, wasted my time preventing any productive work, walked out before ordering anythingLesson: many other local spots offer commoditized offerings, service is the differentiator
Warm, cozy atmosphere. Great music. Delicious coffee. Friendly, low key service. Who could ask for more?
I love this cafe they always play nice music, the coffee is sooo good, and they dont charge extra for non-dairy milk ^·^
First place I stopped at when I arrived to NYC. Very nice and helpful staff, Incredible coffee, and yogurt parfait was the best Ive ever had. Will definitely be back. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Great food and I love that its hidden. The ambiance is great. Friendly staff and diverse clientele. Great lil joint in Harlem.
Very relaxing spot, good vibes, cozy interiors, good coldbrew ☕ a bit hidden :-).Vegan/non dairy milk options available
Nice small, but local, homey spot if youre in the area. Decent coffee/espresso drinks with limited, but fresh food options.
This coffee shop is really cute and the staff are what makes this place stand out.
Friendly and patient staff, cozy and beautiful place. Very happy to just have found this place by chance. Exquisite Eggs Bennie!
Lovely place. Lavender Agave Latte!
After waiting at the counter for 15 minutes being completely ignored. Someone finally comes and says they have something else to do and they will be back. Thanks, I will not be back.
Small but really nice. Great espresso. After one week in NYC finally I tasted real coffee in here.
Nice people and good food. Quite a small place so it can get crowded pretty quickly. Free WiFi is available, but only for an hour.
$1 bagels and refills on drip coffee. More tables than other small shops in the area. Very helpful staff.
Cozy, excellent food, portions are not to big and price is decent! As a European I really like it!Oh and friendly service!
Cute cafe, and really nice and accommodating staff. I always get the tomato bisque with ham and cheese panino. Soooo goood.
Great little cafe. Never knew it was there. Nice people, good hangout tables, great tea selection.
Charming coffee and breakfast nook. Coffee is flavorful and there’s a good selection of pastries and brunch plates.
Delicious but somewhat expensive lattes.
They have 4.9 stars for a reason! The owner happily made me a pour over at my request; very friendly people with a great product.
Small but comfortable place. Great coffee with a chill vibe. The coffee is best in uptown area
A great new cozy spot. So excited to have it in the area. Had coffee and croissants. Great service.
Very cozy and comfortable place to be. Food and drinks are really good.
Great staff.... I literally come here every day because the people here arent jerks. I love the lattes and pastries as well!
Very nice place. Excellent tea. Cool place to hang out while starting a day or replenishing some strength to keep hustling
Fantastic. Very cute establishment, very clean and everyone was super friendly. Ill go again for sure and would recommend to anyone.
A hole in the ground, almost like a portal into a coffee boat. Pallet furniture and burlap bags with the seats that surround a bright red bar. Very awakening!
They know how to make a cup of a good cappuccino! One of the best not overpriced coffee shops in Harlem.
We walked in and although is a small little cafe we dont regret walking in. Service was really good so were the drinks. Will come back.
Cool spot to sit and get some work done! Nice atmosphere. Down to earth.
Tried and true spot for breakfast/lunch. Relaxing atmosphere and convenient location - try the matcha lemonade!
Loved the cozy atmosphere and the genuine food! If you are around make sure to swing by!
Why can these places not update their open/closed status on Google? It takes 2 seconds, I just did it for them. Its not even correct on their own website.
Cool underground coffee shop and eatery. It doesnt look like anything from the outside, I actually thought I was in the wrong place, but once downstairs youll love the vibe
Very welcoming place, awesome coffee, good music, and accommodating staff. I highly recommended.
Had a pastry and a cortado. Both were good. Nice atmosphere even if the playlist sucked.
Cute cafe in Harlem. They can do better when it comes to service and variety. The scones are pretty good.
Loved the coffee, loved the toast. Quaint little place for a nice breakfast
It’s a great spot! Coffee and food is great! This is the type of place that’s needed in this neighborhood.
Cute place and that egg sandwich SLAPPED! Ill be back in the morning.
By far my favorite cafe in the neighborhood. Awesome staff and amazing drinks.
Great little bites and coffee. They also have some beer and wine. An all around great hangout for creatives.
I love this place! So nice, so cozy... the local managers are so kind. Definitely, Ill be back soon.
Great food, friendly service, and cute place.
Really small and cute place to grab something drink and study. Or you can just go there, have fun, and play some games.
Great food/baked goods, nice environment, and reasonable price - truly a gem in Sugar Hill/West Harlem
Great coffeehouse with friendly energetic staff. Pastries are top notch.
I love this cozy place. They have nice foods and great coffees.
The food was good, but food took a very long time, the place was hard to find, we were freezing, and it was very small.
Very small space, so not good for groups. It is, however, good for a coffee on the go and some pastries.
Excellent coffee and tasty breakfast.Very friendly service as well
Good espresso and great vibe.. Really cool setting and friendly service.
Honest coffee and tea shop with great service. the art adds a nice atmosphere :)
Cute little cafe, will definitely try to go back next time Im in NYC.
Almost $10 for 2 slices of ham and 1slice cheese sandwich. If I dont prepay I would have left it there
Great place to sit and work. Friendly workers. Great cafe!
Excelent place for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner or a few drinks at night. Awsome service!
Great French toast. Lovely, lively space. Friendly staff.
Great pastries, coffee and wine. Low key vibe, good service.
To eat. To drink good coffee. For breakfast. Perfect place.
Great coffee, food and service!
A cozy little cafe with scrumptious little cafe foods and treats.
Good food, friend staff. Nice selection of pastries.
Quiet, reasonably priced and the smoked salmon avocado mash on toast is super delicious!
Such a relaxing and charming spot. Will be coming back with my best friend. You might spot us :)
Lovely place to have a brunch
Its a really cute place with delicious food
Excellent food, perfect coffe and a top service. A+
Great & fast service, regular prices. I recommend if you’re on the area!
Love it here!! Amazing coffee and totally a neighborhood spot
I loved it. Great service and excellent food.
Great omlet and ice tea
Excellent coffee, great bakery and friendly service
For the last week i came to this place twice, around 5-6pm and it was closed! It suppose to be open till 7:30pm. Disappointed. I could choose other place.
It’s best
Very good omelette breakfasts and coffee was delicious!
High prices for smallish portions. service minimal for the cost of food.
Excellent place. Good service. Good luck with business.

2022-01-10A chill vibe and good food is what you’ll find at this place. I had the peppermint mocha, cold brew, and the green omelette. I was extremely happy with the food. It had a perfect balance and was cooked just right. They have a decent cook. The coffee was smooth and had a nice flavour. The interior was cozy and unpretentious. The barista was humble and easy going. The price was standard and well worth it.

2021-07-25We loved it here! Came here for brunch and staff were really nice and everything came out quickly. French toast and drinks were awesome as well. It was pretty much at full capacity on a Sunday so it can be busy, but definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area!

2022-05-01Decent food and nice cafe but totally unpredictable. Went in for brunch on a Sunday at 11am and was told the kitchen was closed indefinitely because the cook needed a break. Understandable and I can definitely synpathize, but very strange that they will shut down entirely during a busy brunch with no warning or estimated wait time. I do not blame the staff for this issue whatsoever; it points to a deeply dysfunctional business desperately in need of competent management. I hope they get things sorted out because I want to like this place.

2022-04-08I love the Sugar Hill Cafe! The underground coffee house vibe is immaculate. I regularly get an ice vanilla latte that is so good it has honestly ruined other lattes for me. & The staff is just special! such great people! The one downside is if there are more than 11 ppl in there, it can feel crowded.

2022-03-11We love this place! The staff and friendly, the drinks are delicious, the food does not joke around, and they have occasional night activities (we still need to try those out!) Seriously whoevers in their kitchen knows their stuff - makes this cafe just that tiny cut above the others (although anywhere you go in this area you cannot go wrong!!!)

2022-05-08Staff was nice and coffee was good! Didn’t really like the breakfast I got, there were some bad pieces of lettuce in the salad. Also they really should clean up in there a bit. The pillows on the booths were all torn up and the floor was really dirty ...

2022-04-18We just grabbed a bagel, croissant, coffee, and hot chocolate here, but everything was great. Inside was pretty small and cozy, but the outdoor seating was clean and comfortable.

2021-04-03I enjoyed my first ever pumpernickel bagel; it was soft and fresh...perfect. The staff was friendly, and everything was clean. I look forward to going back for their lavendar agave latte.
