Prima - Greene Ave

Always love coming here, coffee is fantastic, staff are lovely but don’t even bother going on a weekday. It’s basically a WeWork, four person tables are filled with single people spread out on laptops, taking zoom calls etc. They do not reserve any tables as non-laptop tables so it is essentially impossible sit down and enjoy the cafe as a patron which is a bummer. 😕 I tried waiting a few times to see if a table would come up but it seems like the laptoppers just park and camp out there for hours. Edit: have been back twice since this review at different times of the day and have not been successful in waiting out a remote worker for a seat. The amount of people actively participating in out-loud zoom calls was absolutely diabolical. Full on vibe killer lol

Very popular with the locals. They’re always super busy each time I’ve gone. I’ve found the coffee here to be very inconsistent. Often, the foam on my lattes and cappuccinos have too many air bubbles. Also, they don’t seem to tidy / sweep the back patio upon closing. Many times I’ve arrived just after opening only to go to the back patio to find the tables and chairs all scattered + large crumbs of food on the tables and deck covered in ants and many birds lingering to snatch the crumbs. Prima isn’t the best but also not the worst.

Local spot that is warm and cozy. I observed that they offer wine however that is in the evening. I ordered the teddy bear and a cup of coffee. Service friendly and fast. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

an adorb coffee shop, loved by the locals! plenty of seating options (front porch, inside - a long alley way, and backyard tucked into quietness). ac is not very strong but doable in the summer. good wifi. good americano and pastry!

We recently hosted a private event on their back patio and everything turned out perfectly! Daryl and her team were so kind and easy to work with, they helped make sure things ran smoothly. Every coffee/tea drink that I tasted was delicious, and the food was incredible!! Haven’t been able to get the grilled cheese with broccoli rabe out of my head… Whether you’re looking for a quiet corner to enjoy a coffee and your book or a beautiful back patio perfect for hosting, Prima is the spot! The aesthetic is cozy and modern while still maintaining so much of the unique brownstone features. We couldn’t have been happier with the overall experience and will definitely be back in the future!
