The food has gotten much worse to what I was used to.
The employee working behind the counter was amazing and took time to explain everything. But the coffee itself was very meh 🫤
Solid coffee. Really one of the best I have had in a long time- fresh, strong, well-balanced, and classic coffee flavour (no weird fruity, acidic notes.) Prices are fair and atmosphere, although not many seats, good. They also filled it right up!
Man!! The selection...but that Is cappuccino is amazing
The best hot chocolate is served here.
Friendly people, good coffee. Small space so seating is limited, more of a grab and go kind of spot.
Nice spot great coffee great people.
I’m an undergrad at RU, and was looking for some place with outstanding matcha… needless to say, I found one. Gigi made me my first 12 oz in September, and I haven’t gone a week yet without my midday latte. Her and her partner with the bright green hair (I know her name, but I’m not sure how it’s spelled—I’ll have to apologize later) make every single weekday a bit more bearable. Over this semester, they’d gotten to know my order, like clockwork—Gigi even suggested adding white chocolate to my boring matcha latte, to which I am now addicted. Not to mention the warm, welcoming service, even on the gloomiest fall days. If you’re ever on campus, try Black Swan. You won’t be disappointed!
They have the best espresso in NJ. And I drink a lot of espresso. Too much espresso. Addendum, 11/7/22: forgot about the crema. so much good crema.
Avocado toast with on request egg over it ! Adam did his best to get my request cooked and it was absolutely delicious ! Must have 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Really nice employees and matcha was delicious
Nice and small coffee shop tucked away in Newark, I really enjoyed my pour over coffee. Will definitely come back whenever I am in the area!
Really good coffee but lack of showing up at their designated set hours. Came at 8 am, waited until 8:15 nobody showed up.
if you guys officially set the time from 8:00am, then please be on time, your start time does not match the schedule that you have in Google or the one that hangs on your door, I don’t recommend to come here in the morning time because if you short on time, they might not be open!
The Brick City beans are great! It has a really nice cherry flavor. They shipped out the order VERY quickly. Adam was also kind enough to call & help out with an item that was no longer available. I hope to visit in person, soon.
Best espresso in the downtown area and the staff is really friendly. Outdoor seating is a plus!
Specialty and sustainbly sourced coffee with incredibly kind and helpful servers! Left with a great experience and server recommendations for the Newark area. Will be visiting again!
Best coffee in the region, and probably one of the best in US!
Favorite coffee in all of NJ. Beats all the montclair fancy coffee shops hands down. The coffee tastes perfectly balanced every time I get it. I usually order a cappuccino. I’ve missed working at my office just because of this place.
Great place to stop while getting my car fixed at Tires Central around the block. Nice atmosphere and Jimmy, the proprietor, kindly changed Taiwanese noodle soup to accommodate vegetarian tastes.
