I have been a repeat customer at this cafe specifically for the lovely public piano. In the past, I have always had wonderful experiences playing it and often for a while, and have never recieved any complaints. The piano has always been a cherished feature of this cafe. However, my recent visit was deeply uncomfortable. I was playing the piano roughly 30 minutes before closing time. There were a few people in the cafe still and even a friendly waitress whom was very encouraging towards me playing. I was then approached by another member of staff and told that someone had complained about the noise. Given the time of day and the liveliness of the other customers in the cafe, this complaint felt unwarranted and microaggressive, especially since I am a person of color. Also, there was another person (man with puffer jacket and manbun) in the cafe whom had continuously stared at me and my friend and had made us both feel extremely unwelcome. While I appreciate the piano and the services, the feeling of being singled out and asked to stop playing when the venue was still loud has unfortunately overshadowed my past experiences. I would like to return again but due to this unfortunate circumstance, I will have to go else where. POC BEWARE!

The place is amazing, having a good space and lot of tables to set. The staff are incredibly amazing and friendly. The price of a hot drink and beagle is reasonable as well as the taste of food is yummy. We had a New Yorker and Greek beagles, those two were delicious as the hallomi and salmon were fresh. We had also black coffee and latte. I would recommend this place to who wants to spend a good time and having the best drink and food. I would suggest it for early morning visit. The music is nice in the place as well.
