Spiral Project #8: Cafe Pick Me Up

Posted by Rocco Privetera on February 4th, 2010 filed in Musings, News, Restaurant Review

On Ave A and 9th we have a local coffee shop and hangout, Cafe Pick Me Up.

It’s a decent establishment. The coffee is good, but nothing outstanding (like MUD). The baked goods are of good quality and generally fresh. For a non-chain coffee place, prices are affordable. They offer breakfast and brunch fare, which I’ve had, and again – nothing memorable.

The service is good. The atmosphere is what you would expect for an east village coffee shop – plenty of hipsters, people discussing their documentary, glasses-wearing artists working on screenplays and good looking couples. The tables/chairs are all mismatched and the decor is warm and homey.

They are open later. I’d bring a date here.

so: value is good, service good, quality/taste is average. If you leave nearby and don’t want to deal with the crowds at the superior MUD, make it your coffee place.
