Reviews For 9TAILS COFFEE SHOP

9Tails (Or Mushtari if you're cool) is nothing short of a Harlem Institution. The people are the realist and kindest folks you'll ever meet, the pastries are always excellent, and the coffee is so good, you can drink it black. The only problem is the occasional tourist group, but if you're a local, the regulars will take care of you. It's the Cheers of Cafes.

In my opinion, the best espresso you can have in the city. It's a shame that something that good is served in a paper cup. Still the best though.

Been coming here for a couple years. The espresso is great, the sandwiches and baked goods are great, and the baristas/chef rule. Great place to spend time if you’re in the neighborhood.

This place is just too cute - both the space and the people are lovely. It sits in the middle of a gardening store which makes for amazing ambiance. There was some confusion over my order because it was a large one but the people who work there went above and beyond to address it. Oh and the coffee and croissants were good too!

Very cool place with chill atmosphere and great drinks and food, perfect for a small breakfast. We had the blueberry croissant and the cinammon roll, both were exceptional. The matcha latte was very authentic too, absolutely suggested!

Lush coffee shop in Harlem, with super friendly staff and delicious coffee. Been there a couple of time, consistent quality of coffee, very happy with it. Croissants are OK, unlikely to be made on the premises but better than most I've experienced in NYC so far!

A STUNNING , hyper-local plant-covered sanctuary tucked away in a plantgarden shop in the heart of Harlem. This cafe has incredible ambience and is the perfect place to quickly stop for some specialty coffee that you might not find elsewhere in Harlem. The Baristas are very warm and forthcoming. It is a magical experience overall!

A great little coffee shop inside a hardware store and flower shop. The vibes are great, the coffee not bad, the breakfast sandwiches are really good. It’s a gem in Harlem and I recommend it to anybody!
