You have to buy a pound of thier freshly roasted Spanish roast coffee to bring home. The staff is super friendly and a great work ethic. Carmen is awesome and fully attentive to her customers, staff and business. The food is fresh and delicious. It's an out of the way place but worth it.

Star Mountain Coffee is by far my absolute favorite coffee. I live in Chicago and whenever I’m in New York I have to go and get a cup coffee as well as bring some back to make at home. Coffee beans are roasted fresh daily so you really can’t beat that. Not to mention, the tuna sandwiches and chicken salad are awesome. Highly recommend!!

We ordered black diamond, American, and espresso roasts and loved all 3. No burnt or bitter taste even without sugar or creamer.
