The lattes were DELICIOUS! Very smooth, and came with some sparkling water on a cute tray. We hung around for a while; on a Saturday around 1, it was packed the whole time we were there. Also, it’s dog friendly, so we got to smile at all the cute dogs walking in. It’s a bit out of the way, but if I’m in the area again will definitely go back.
For as famous as this place is I expected better. I went when it was busy but there were ~4 baristas working so I am not sure thats much of an excuse. Atmosphere: This place is more like a club or bar then a coffee shop, loud music and loud conversations and no place to sit. Espresso, missing all the crema and almost no mouthfeel, perhaps pulled as a lungo but I didn’t ask for that and should not be anyone’s norm for espresso. Single Origin Coffee: I got the Bravo and the Alarcon and both were bright and clean but with very subtle flavors almost as if it were a bit thin. These were pretty good but would probably require a cupping to really get the flavor notes listed on the coffee. Overall not really a place I would recommend to go if you want a quiet quality cup especially not for a $10 6 oz cup.
My coffee experience here was top notch! The location is good, it's in a trendy part of town. the presentation is absolutely beautiful, and they put a lot of care into the craft of making really delicious coffee. Lots of single-origin beans, and a transparent model so that you know that the cost of your drinking is quality and ethically sourced. this is a place for people who actually enjoy drinking coffee, and not just drinking a bunch of flavorings. Also a great place to sit and read or get work done.
Incredibly nice people, incredibly good coffee, unbeatable vibe. Beautifully decorated with rustic touches and succulents and massive skylights, open air front section on warm days, and a good amount of small table seating. Worth the trek x100 if you don’t live close to Bushwick.
Some of the best coffee out there. Baristas are very great at what they do and quick. Atmosphere is tops as well. Skylights and plants seal the deal. Will be back, and everybody should give it a shot 💪🏼
cute place. friendly people. oat milk latte was just average. well made, but the coffee just wasn’t flavorful. great natural light but the seats weren’t comfortable enough to want to stay long. nice for a 30 min work sesh though.
As others have stated the service is also not good. I was greeted by a stony silence by the person taking my order. I am an African-American female and this may have influenced my reception. This is my second time giving this shop a try and unfortunately it will be my last.
SEY has really exceptional espresso, and it's worth a journey if you're a coffee head. The presentation of your drink is beautiful, and lush, light flooded industrial space adds to the experience.
Great coffee. But the cashier, a girl with a green beret, was *extremely* rude so it killed our vibe. I love this place so, if I saw her again, I’d avoid and go to Swallow next door.

Great coffee place. Like a few other reviews have mentioned, the girl cashier has an attitude.
