Recently met up with the organizer of the "Ridgewood Social/Market" here at Spolem. This was my first venture this far down Fresh Pond Road…and I have to admit, I like!
This is the first coffee shop that I've been to that has table service (probably because they also serve alcohol). I tried the Chai and my boyfriend had the Nutella latte (iced). The drinks were pretty tasty.
Honestly, I was more blown by the atmosphere. Big, open space. Lots of seating options. Perfect for meeting up with one person or a small group of people. Very cozy. You kind of feel like you're sitting by a fireplace in a cottage the whole time you're there. The staff is nice and cordial.
-Good WiFi (easy password)
-No snacks =(
This is my Polish cabin in the woods. I'll definitely be back again.
This is a great place relax on a comfortable couch or chairs and enjoy a really good coffee beverage. The Macchiato was so good here that I had to get 2. I can't review anything about things to eat here but I will when I get back here. The service was good as well. I'm glad I finally got to try this place. Wish I did sooner because this is my favorite cafe to go to now. I'm glad it's close to my home!
Based on various comments & my love of nutella, I got the nutella latte. It wasn't half bad & I'm not even a coffee drinker. The lady who helped us was nice & friendly. It's a much better coffee shop than any fare near my home. Prices also aren't obscene so if you're looking for a bargain, you should consider going here.
This is an area of Ridgewood I don't frequent since what choice would you make b/t long walk & reliable subway to Manhattan less than a block away from your house? I've lived in my area for 6 years & this is the first time I've actually been to this shop.
Seating is ample & I didn't feel pressured to leave the second I finished my drink. I'd probably come back here more often if it didn't involve a bus ride or long walk from my house in relation to getting to Manhattan.
Warm atmosphere. Nothing fancy, just comfy and warm.
Free Wi-Fi with purchase.
Good coffee…really good coffee!
I see a liquor menu! (Though I have yet to try anything.)
Friendly service; accommodating, yet not hovering.
My only wish is that they carry more savory food options (I only saw ONE on the menu). I love hanging out at internet cafes, but I get hungry and I'm not always in the mood for sweets and pastries. Overall, I think this place is great and I'm happy to have it in my hood!
