The Monkey Cup

No wifi which is great but then not helpful for those of us who have to work for a living and need to be online during the work week.

Great coffee and great ambiance! Apple Maps said there was free wifi here which is actually not the case, so it’s a great place to work on your laptop BUT you’ll mood hotspot or make due without internet, FYI!

LET IT BE KNOWN THAT THERE IS NO wifi

EDIT: The owner reached out to me and not only corrected my drink, but took the time to connect and that goes a long way.

I live around the corner, I’ve been here exactly three times in the five months I’ve lived here.

I’m combining all my visits in one review.

The drip coffee is not my favorite, but I get it, they can’t please everyone. My mocha was tasty but wasn’t hot, it was very warm. Guess what? The owner was right here and corrected it. I don’t like to return drinks but he reminded me that I need to if I don’t get something the way I like it or want it.

It’s very charming, and there are no cafes in this little stretch.

If you are looking for wi-fi there is no wi-fi. I am pointing this out in case anyone needs wifi.

Nice vibe and staff. Decent coffee. Deduct one star because of no wifi, though I understand that rationale.

Such a cute coffee shop, no wifi so not a place to work at!

Affordable , nice staff. I liked the pastries. No wifi, I was really disappointed because I came from the Bronx , only to find out I couldn’t work there unless I had a hotspot.

The coffee and service are good. It's a great place to work but you should consider there's no wifi.

Very high quality coffee and excellent vibes.

No wifi so don't count on it. Friendly staff.

Nowhere to sit down and actually eat because there are people with laptops at every table. Many people didn't even have food or coffee on their tables; would be nice if there were time limits.

Beautiful and tasty place, sadly not work friendly. - No wifi!

Perfect place to enjoy a good coffee, but not to work. The place hast it all, even places to plug in, but interestingly no wifi. I get the point of making it more as a stop to drink a coffee and chat, but do not agree much with forcing it to be just a place to “read a book, make a friend, as they express it in a board!

To me it even looks stingy the fact that is a bit more expensive that other coffees around and still do not offer free wifi, I believe that should be a courtesy from any place in nowadays world.

Cannot complain about the coffee and food, definitely tasty, but sad I needed to figure out late there was not internet to work and payed for a second coffee somewhere else. I wish there was a sign in Google maps to check the internet availability in advance.

Ich habe mir eine Kaffepause mit laptop in diesem urigen Café in Harlem gegönnt. Kaffee mit Sojamilch und einer fast 8cm dicken Karottenkuchen-Scheibe für $9. Beides sehr lecker und das Gebäck wahrscheinlich selbstgebacken. Der Service sehr freundlich und die Atmosphäre angenehm, auch wenn die Musik ein wenig leiser sein könnte. Kann es nur empfehlen😇

Such a cute and friendly place. The monkey in the mocha is delightful. Good gentle oat milk mocha. No food aside from pastries during the week so I’ll go back on the weekend to try that. I loved the green ceiling with lights - very magical vibe. There isn’t wifi but lots of people still worked on their laptops so there’s a good mix of work and relaxing.

I think this is the best coffee in the area. It's also a nice place to work.

my favorite spot to work and sip on yummy coffee (the food is super yum too)

Cute ambiance and plenty of space if you need to sit for a while and get some work done
