This was my favourite spot to have coffee in my stay in Harlem, I love it.
Before you enter in, you'll realize that there's a platform just outside of the place, with a big poster of the café's name.
The place is small, but really nice, it has wood tables and chairs, with some old lamps. This place gets crowded after 8am, so if want to have a seat you'd better go early to avoid waiting for a seat.
Like in almost every café, there are two lanes, one for order and other in order to wait for orders. Staff is really nice, they are very chatty, kind and welcoming, split in the cashier or preparing the coffee and food.
There are a lot of food to have, including pastries, muffins or bagels. There are some different kind of muffins ( my favourite is the blueberries one ) and bagels, where you can choose both bagel and fillings, I sticked with cream cheese, and they also have some different ones. At the end you can have your bagel toasted and they will notify you when it's ready.
Apart from typical coffee-related beverages ( they have a lot of different ones ), you can find some kinds of teas or just a Chai Latte, which it's really good.
There's a good place to work with your laptop, in fact there are a lot of people with it or just reading a book. The WiFi works really good, and you can find some power plugs on the walls. The ambient is nice and the music is low, but after midday in summer it gets a bit hot as the A/C isn't able to keep up with the heat, but under the fan is okey.
