Legend has it that once the owners of this place serve you a cup of their excellent dark-roast java, they will get your name and then never forget you. Come in a day, week, or month later and they will greet you by name. It is a great reason to come to this tiny coffeehouse with the blue-on-blue paint job. But there is more than just that for the Gen-X and Yers who mix with the older neighborhood regulars. Newspapers, including the New York Times, hang on the newspaper rack for customers to peruse and the bagels are from House of Bagels, one of the best purveyors of this particular comfort food. There are also cookies and other light fare and reggae is (almost) always in the air.
