Reviews for El Barrista cafe in New York, NY
We just helped our daughter move into an apartment in East Harlem and stumbled on this place. They have great ambiance and even... better food and coffee! I really wanted a breakfast sandwich at 1:30 in the afternoon and they came through! We had a bagelsandwich, avocado toast with egg, and croissant sandwich as well as a hot latte and an iced latte. All excellent with excellentservice. Thanks El Barrista! Now we have a go to coffee shop when we visit NYC???? Read more
I got a large iced latte with oatmilk and a bagel with cream cheese from here and somehow paid $15. I couldn't even tell what... for because the receipt was printed on the wrong size paper and cut off all the prices??????? The coffee is good but holy molythat is expensive! The bagel was horrible, they only had whole wheat first of all, tasted like it came straight from thefreezer, and I paid extra for cream cheese even though they put hardly any at all on the bagel! Coffee's good but bagel's arebad, and none of it's really worth the crazy prices. Read more
I personally don?t think their regular and almond croissants should be $5+ & $6+ if they are not freshly made the same day. The... croissant looks like a Costco brand. The staff is always nice though. Read more
The perfect spot for a warm coffee on a cold day. The vibe is perfect at this spot, with a bar-top setup in the front room and a... more quiet space in the back. The furniture is unique and the chairs at some of tables in the back room are so incredibly comfy,it?s the perfect spot to get some work done or just relax with a coffee and good conversation. I got a caramel latte and it wasthe perfect amount of syrup, so that it wasn?t too sweet and didn?t overwhelm the drink. The staff was friendly and welcomingand I love that it?s Black owned. It?s truly a unique spot and is a gem for the neighborhood Read more
I LOVE EL BARRISTA. ? I've been visiting this coffee shop at least 2-3 times a week for the past six months and I've never been... disappointed. All the staff are very friendly AND the owner is the kindest one I've ever seen. Their coffee is nice, pastriesare just amazing. Looking small from outside, they have a lot more seatings inside. Nice and cozy ambience, always kept clean.Good music and strong wifi. What more do we want?!?! This is sort of business we want to support. ?? Read more
A gem of a coffee spot tucked away in East Harlem. Great drink selection, extensive pastry choices, friendly staff, and amazing... sandwiches. Perfect ambiance to read a book or study and weekly events to provide a switch up to anyone's schedule. I lovestarting off my day with a drink from El Barrista. Read more
The ambiance of the spot is Kick back and chill from the music to the variety of seating both indoor and outdoor; the food is... delicious the drinks are satisfying and you can tell that the owner cares about their spot. Today I had the Buddha of Harlem(egg, roasted pepper, avocado, arrugala, tomatoes and cheese on a toasted croissant) with a summer breeze to drink. Definitely be back again! Read more
Barista is super nice. Had a hazelnut breve latte and the feta with spinach quiche, both were delicious! ????
