You’re not just visiting another gallery. You’re stepping into New York’s most vibrant creative hub where emerging artists showcase their latest work alongside your morning latte. Every visit connects you with the pulse of local artistry that defines your neighborhood.
Our rotating exhibitions mean there’s always something new to discover. Whether you’re an art collector, creative professional, or someone who appreciates authentic local culture, you’ll find pieces that speak to your aesthetic and stories that resonate with your experience of living in this incredible city.
This isn’t about pretentious gallery spaces or overpriced coffee. It’s about genuine connection—with art, with artists, and with fellow New Yorkers who understand that creativity and community go hand in hand.
We’ve been serving New York’s creative community by understanding what locals actually want: quality coffee, genuine art, and a space that feels like home. We’re not trying to be the biggest or flashiest—we’re focused on being real.
Our gallery features work from artists who live and breathe New York City. These aren’t imported pieces or mass-produced prints. Every painting, photograph, and sculpture tells a story rooted in the neighborhoods, experiences, and perspectives that make this city unique.
We support local talent not because it’s trendy, but because New York’s artistic community deserves a platform that actually understands their work and respects their craft.
Walk in and order your coffee first—we know you need caffeine before contemplating art. Our baristas know their craft, and our beans are sourced with the same care we put into curating our exhibitions.
While your drink is prepared, browse the current exhibition. Every piece is available for purchase, and we’re happy to connect you directly with the artist. No middleman markup, no complicated processes. Just honest transactions between you and the creator.
Take your coffee and find a spot to sit. Our space is designed for lingering—wide tables, comfortable seating, and lighting that actually lets you see the art properly. Many visitors end up staying for hours, working on their laptops or sketching while surrounded by inspiring work.

Every month brings new artists and fresh perspectives to our walls. We specifically seek out creators who are making their mark in New York—not because they’re famous, but because their work captures something essential about life in this city.
You’ll discover pieces ranging from street art-inspired canvases to intimate photography series documenting neighborhood changes. Our artist spotlights include everything from recent art school graduates to established professionals exploring new directions.
New York’s art scene moves fast, and so do we. What you see today might be completely different next month, which means regular visitors always have something new to experience. Plus, you’re often meeting the artists themselves—they frequently stop by to see how their work is being received.
We rotate our main exhibition every 4-6 weeks, featuring 3-4 local artists per show. This keeps the space fresh and gives you a reason to return regularly. Between major rotations, we often add individual pieces or small collections, so there’s usually something new to discover even if you visited recently.
Our goal is showcasing the incredible talent that exists right here in New York without overwhelming visitors with too much change. We’ve found this timeline gives each artist adequate exposure while maintaining the excitement of discovery that keeps our community engaged.
Absolutely—every piece you see is available for purchase directly from the artist. We facilitate the connection and handle the transaction details, but you’re buying straight from the creator. This means fair prices for you and proper compensation for the artists.
Most pieces range from $200 to $2,000, making original New York art accessible to actual New Yorkers rather than just wealthy collectors. We also offer payment plans for larger pieces because we believe great art shouldn’t be limited to people with unlimited budgets.
If you’re interested in a piece, just ask any staff member. We can provide artist contact information, discuss pricing, and arrange for pickup or delivery within the city.
We host opening receptions for each new exhibition, usually on Thursday evenings from 6-9 PM. These are casual gatherings where you can meet the featured artists, enjoy wine or coffee, and connect with other art enthusiasts from the neighborhood.
Additionally, we organize monthly “Coffee & Create” sessions where local artists demonstrate techniques or lead discussions about their work. These aren’t formal workshops—more like conversations with coffee where you might learn something new about art or the creative process.
During summer months, we occasionally extend onto the sidewalk for outdoor exhibitions or partner with nearby businesses for gallery walks that showcase multiple venues in a single evening.
Our coffee program focuses on quality over complexity. We work with a local roaster to source beans that actually taste good rather than chasing trendy origins or processing methods. Expect excellent espresso drinks, pour-overs, and cold brew that doesn’t require a PhD in coffee science to appreciate.
Food-wise, we keep it simple: pastries from a neighborhood bakery, sandwiches made fresh daily, and light snacks that won’t interfere with art viewing. We’re not trying to be a full restaurant—our focus is providing fuel for creativity and contemplation.
Everything is priced reasonably because we know you’re spending money on art, not just refreshments. A good latte shouldn’t cost more than a small print.
Yes, but with consideration for the gallery atmosphere. We have reliable WiFi, comfortable seating, and tables large enough for laptops and notebooks. Many regular customers work here during slower afternoon hours, finding inspiration in the surrounding artwork.
We ask that you keep phone conversations brief and respect that others are here to enjoy art as much as productivity. The space naturally encourages focused work—there’s something about being surrounded by creative expression that helps people concentrate on their own projects.
Peak coffee hours (7-10 AM and 2-4 PM) tend to be busier, so if you’re planning an extended work session, mid-morning or early afternoon usually offers the most space and quiet.
We prioritize New York-based artists who are creating work that reflects authentic experiences of living and working in this city. This includes recent graduates, mid-career professionals exploring new directions, and established artists trying different approaches.
Our selection process focuses on artistic merit and local relevance rather than existing fame or gallery representation. We review portfolios monthly and often discover artists through community recommendations, art school connections, or simply meeting talented people around the neighborhood.
We’re particularly interested in artists who can engage with visitors during opening receptions and aren’t precious about discussing their work. The best exhibitions happen when artists are genuinely excited to share their process and connect with potential collectors in a relaxed, unpretentious environment.
