We popped in for a few minutes by chance. The woman tending the bar was friendly and welcoming. The space feels warm and welcoming to someone who doesn't live/work in this neighborhood. Live fish behind the bar, a phone booth, small outdoor space in the rear and seating along the front. Don't forget the emotional support mushrooms. Definitely plan to go back and spend some time in the future.

I’m not a frequent Customer, but every time I go, they are always so nice. The service is always good. The young lady explained to me what type of coffee she gave me and I love it. the coffee was delicious. Must go place.

Right when I walked in I knew this place was special. I’m not drinking currently in nyc, which leaves me with little options to do in this city where drinking culture revolves around everywhere. I could immediately sense the community aspect when I sat down and how friendly everyone was. Grace, James, and Eden all made our night so special and I felt very relaxed there. I got the chai tea with golden milk and it was delicious. Grace said she simmers her chai 24-36 hours I think and you can taste the rich flavors. We also tried 3 of the vegan desserts including cake, a brownie, and a scone and all good! I will certainly be back! Thanks!

Kosmic was one of my favorites when I lived in the city! Gino, Kat, Grace, James, Maya, Maddie are the nicest and the best at making drinks. (So are the other baristas, I just can’t remember their names right now haha) The decor is so beautiful, and overall the place is very vibey. Bonus points for having an all vegan menu! As a certified tea snobTM, the tea is PERFECT!

Came in on a whim. It was a Friday afternoon, so not busy. The staff were helpful in helping us pick out some drinks and were attentive in just the right amount. The atmosphere is eclectic and fun - wherever you look, there's something! I can see this as a fun hangout on the weekends, even being an anti-bar. It's nice to have a non-alcoholic environment as a warm "third place." I will definitely be back on future NYC trips.

loved the concept, the drinks and the interior of the cafe. as someone who doesn’t drink, i thought it was so fun that it looked like a bar and also had the vibes of a bar but serves cafe and non-alcoholic beverages. i tried the white chocolate macadamia matcha and really enjoyed it. can’t wait to come back to try more of their drinks.

A terrific place! Impeccable vibes! There are so few non-alcoholic spaces that are also open late, but even beyond that Kosmic stands on its own as a gathering place. I went out of my way to try this place out, 100% worth it. They have such interesting drinks (plus your coffee shop favorites) with new ones added seasonally. James and Eden are cool people. I appreciate what they are and looking forward to going back.

This place is right out of Woodstock, but add some soul brother Sly and the Family Sfone vibes, thirty stained glass lamps, a huge fish tank, and communal joy. It's unpretentious, funky, quirky, non-alcoholic with amazing herbal and root beverages, delicious coffees and vegan pastries. The baristas are adorable and kind, and it's a great space to read or talk to other quirky folks. A new favorite spot of mine. Good vibes only!
