Peaky Barista - City of New York

This spot is confused on what it wants to be. Peaky blinders inspired with white brick, Native American art, and Spanish music. All of those elements are wonderful on their own, but together seem perplexing. Came in at 12 pm and the pastries were already hard and were served without being warmed up. The bureka was pretty good but too oily. The coffee was also pretty good. Overall wouldn’t go again but was a fine experience.Wheelchair accessibility: Sidewalk concrete ramp with plenty of space for a wheelchair to fit through the door and between the two seating areas to access the ordering counter.

This is my regular place, the coffee is pretty good although I am not a huge fan of the pastries. It is the atmosphere that really does it for me though :

Food was average. They don't have a kitchen, so they only have premade food like croissants. The other Peaky Barista nearby has better food options.

Coffee was a 3/5, very light. The slice of flakey quiche I had was bland and so saturated in oil I regretted eating it later, feeling kinda sick all morning. Atmosphere was a great spot to meet for coffee, but they chose the chairs for high turnover on a comfort level. Choose the bench side, skip the food, grab a book and just order straight espresso.

I gave this place an extra star because the staff is so nice. But... the food and coffee was so bad that I can't in good conscience suggest anyone visit. We had two lattes that tasted like they were made with expired soy milk, and the croissant we got literally (l'm dead serious here, literally) tasted like cardboard. If you're gonna pay NYC prices for coffee, there are a million other places around here to go to.
