The first one! Even though my favorite Sweetleaf is the one in Greenpoint. This was the first one, I remember when it was a 1/4 of the space of what it is now. It's really a pleasure to see this business grow and grow with it, now it's hard to enjoy coffee anywhere else! Lol. Sweetleaf now has the best and most friendly baristas, and they're all so knowledgeable and armed with skills to make you the beat cup of coffee possible, some of them I call them friends since Sweetleaf feels like my second home and where I've made lifetime friends as well. Sweetleaf is more than just coffee... it IS coffee and they do it more than well!. But it's a lot about the people and the community for me. I can't tell you enough about how unique is this place and if you're a tourist/visitor or new to town and don't know where to go to sit down and take a good cup of coffee, just stop and pick the closets Sweetleaf you can get to now and go. Pastries are made in house every day by and of course they're also delicious. I have always been obsessed with the decor and style of the shops and I love the back room on this location, I'm not saying much since it's something you shouldn't miss if you're there, just walk all the way to the back. I love you Sweetleaf and all the people that are involved in running this wonderful business.
Love the coffee and the atmosphere
I moved here last year with my husband. And I finally got around to trying Sweetleaf and it was amazing. The coffee was delicious, strong, and out of this world! But the two people who helped us made going even more special! We were helped by Mike and Blair made our drinks. My husband and I were feeling a bit "bleh" so this outing meant a lot and we really appreciated their kindness.
Amazing service, even better coffee. No hot food at this location, but the baked goods are primo. Love this place. Just over the bridge is the bigger location with hot food served.
The espresso machine doesn't work (March 29/2023)
They don’t pay attention to your order and give your attitude on top of that for the gal of coming in and ordering a drink. Sadly they are the only coffee shop around that’s open that late. But they are full of entitled workers who can’t stand to be bothered by customers. If I could give 0 stars I would. (And I NEVER leave reviews….sad excuse for a coffee shop)
I ordered a ice matcha latte today it tasted too watery it lacked matcha flavor. It was made by a white chubby lady.
The barista who was yelled at in the recent reviews have always been sweet and genuinely cares for her customers. The way they were treated openly was ridiculous and cruel
LOVE the coffee and the baristas are the best. Would normally be a 5 star review but my experience was soured by an owner/manager screaming at one of the baristas. It ruined the usual chill vibe of this place. I felt VERY uncomfortable and was left wondering if the lovely baristas are regularly subjected to verbal abuse from management, which made me wonder if I should be spending my money there.
Solid coffee to go. Specialty drinks are fun and sugary. Wouldn’t hang out in there. Smells kinda funky.
This is such a nice spot. I love grading papers here. The staff is cordial and subdued in terms of vibes, but graceful and speedy as well. Nonetheless, Twista's "Kill Us All" is superior to Metallica's "Kill 'Em All," despite the decor. I give them all of the stars in the name of cross-genre community-building.
Great little coffee shop with a sick record collection
The other day i went to buy a coffee. The server was on bad mood, I think 🤔.
I highly recommend this store for coffee ☕️. It is very cozy.
Nice place to work with your laptop. Coffee was good.
Nice little spot! Chill workers! I stopped by to get my morning coffee while waiting for a friend…. It’s a very convenient location! There’s even a bus stop right in front. I’ll be back when I’m in and around this neighborhood.
The coziest Sweetleaf coffee shop I've been to for sure.
Very good espresso and soy latte. I frequent here during work. Staff are kind, comfortable seating inside and out, and clean overall. Wish they had a loyalty program.
Very friendly, cozy vibe
It’s okay here (drinks are good, lots of options). But the music is so loud it’s like a club in the back. There are flies in the back room too, like.. a lot. Not great for working from there (but I think that’s the point).
