A cute small coffee shop, more for “to go” than stay but they have a few chairs next to windows. Coffee was excellent and pastry as well.

Cute little grab and go/standing coffeeshop. Love the vibe, clean, and simple. The Barista was by herself, hard working, very kind, and friendly. They had stumptown coffeebags, so I assume thats what they were using.

Had a quick coffee stop at Hungry Ghost Coffee during my NYC trip and enjoyed the delicious flat white. Service was fast and friendly. The store is pretty small and neatly decorated. There are a couple of standing bars by the window and two benches outside.
