"This newer cafe/retail hybrid has earned buzz for its Roman espresso bar‑style coffee and pastries (bombolone, cornetto, etc.), and the retail side carries a thoughtful mix of art books, home goods, and toys for both children and puppies." - Coolstuff Team
Love this place. Best coffee in town, the people are all amazing and friendly, and the pastries and sweets are incredible. They literally import their pastries from Italy.
When you're here there's such a cool vibe. You're surrounded by art and high quality merch. Just a great concept and great place. You'll find me here often I'm sure.

Very cute place. Proper espresso coffee, great croissants and muffins. Friendly staff and nice environment.
My cappucino was pretty bad, but I give 4 stars cause I've seen in other photos they can make a good one. I guess anyone can have a bad day and make a mistake, no big deal.
I'd definitely come again.

QUALITY! Literally *the best* hot chocolate I have ever, ever, ever had. The coffee is phenomenal. Italian baked goods, sweet treats and tarts are amazing. The art curation is excellent. The store has lots of unique and interesting items (baking accouterment, coffee table books, kids toys etc. really, really glad this place exists!

Cozy place with a good dose of serenity, with arts and cool goods to inspire. Good coffee and pastry are of course why this place deserves a 5-star rating too.

Stumbled upon the shop after looking everywhere for coffee and this did not disappoint! It’s the cutest shop very well curated with art, books and gifts you can purchase in addition to coffee and treats! I had the most delicious coffee treat that beat just a regular iced coffee! The crema di café is a must it’s cold, smooth, creamy and perfect level of sweetness! Absolutely heavenly and the staff were wonderful and very kind !

What a bright and friendly space! I loved the vibe of this place, the selection of merchandise (gorgeous cookbooks!) , and the menu that highlighted some real Italian pastries such as the maritozzi and pasticciotti.

I live around the corner and this was my first visit. Drinking Chocolate and Italian pastries are amazing. They also have excellent curation of house goods and art. The staff and owners were also very friendly with me. It's very clear they care about their business and their clientele.
I wouldn't put too much stock in the other reviewer. I think other folks agree with me. It had a good crowd at 4PM on a Saturday, but not so big that there was a line. I was served immediately.

It is perhaps THE most pretentious place in Ulster County. The food is "eh," and they like other places in Ulster have no idea how to make a cappuccino, although of course they think they do. Rude.
I will say the store is designed very well and done if the art is quite lovely, depicting good artistry, but that does t compensate for an attitude, ( and cappuccino) which is anything but welcoming.
