CopperLeaf Bakery

This new bakery is such a gem! As someone who regularly visits cafés, this will become my new go-to. Food: The heirloom avocado toast is definitely worth the money. They were generous with the avocado and it was bursting with flavor. It had a hint of umami, sweet, sour, and spicy. It was a unique take on avocado toast but I really loved it; it was delicious and surprisingly filling. The copperleaf egg sandwich is a simple, delicious sandwich. The daily granola yogurt was really good. It had so many fresh toppings and the yogurt was thick and flavorful. The coffees were also great. Very strong and rich coffee. Service & Atmosphere: The servers were very friendly and professional. The café was also very clean, I loved the clean decor. It's quiet enough to work and read, but it's also a great place for friends to talk quietly. There's enough seating but not so much that it could get packed. The restroom was also very clean. I'd definitely come back for the food and to work/read.

So happy that this place opened on my block! I went in the other day, and was wanting a fun beverage. one of the baristas, Shane (sorry if I spelled it wrong), kindly recommended her personally crafted iced rose matcha latte. It was one of the best matcha lattes I’ve ever had! The pastries are also top notch, and the place is always got people coming in and out which is a nice vibe for a new cafe.

Great cafe. Breads and pastries baked fresh. I enjoyed the butternut squash soup, which came with some baguette slices. The atmosphere is laid back but refined. Easy to come with kids or with friends. Baguette was perfect (although a bit pricey). I will be back!

This was a delicious adventure! This cafe is a great new addition to Harlem. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, the atmosphere was perfect, and most of all the food was impeccable! I highly recommend the croissant- it is flaky, buttery and doughy, and the presentation is perfect. (Get it warmed too!)

I live in this neighborhood. Copperleaf bakery is such a wonderful addition to the area. The croissant is genuinely one of the best I have ever had, and I consider myself a croissant connoisseur. Flaky, light, perfectly buttery, absolutely amazing. Their coffee is great, not too sweet. The shop is lovely, we brought friends here and were able to sit and chat for an hour over breakfast. Highly recommended!

It’s the second time I come here, just having the worst mood because of one of those days…. And this bakery really brightens my day. Everything I’ve tried here has been fantastic, and the whole staff and environment is uplifting. Welcome to the neighborhood, I’m so happy you and your delicious food are here!

I’m a regular customer and wanted to share some constructive feedback because I really like this place and want to see it succeed. This coffee shop is truly a gem for the neighborhood, and I appreciate the effort the team has been putting into refining the menu over time. That said, I’ve noticed some recent changes that have been a bit concerning from a customer’s perspective. A basic egg and cheese sandwich is currently priced at over $14, and adding bacon brings a standard bacon, egg, and cheese to over $17. I also noticed that the price increased shortly after it was introduced and promoted as a “local favorite,” which stood out to me as a regular customer. In my experience visiting cafés throughout Manhattan, this is among the highest prices I’ve seen for such a basic sandwich. While I appreciate the emphasis on high-quality ingredients, the current pricing still feels difficult to justify within the neighborhood context. I completely understand that opening costs and operating expenses are challenging, especially in the beginning. However, after the initial opening excitement settles, I worry that pricing at this level may make it harder to build a steady base of repeat local customers. I truly hope the shop can find a pricing structure that encourages long-term neighborhood loyalty. Alongside this, there seem to be some issues of consistency. Lattes can vary quite a bit depending on who prepares them and are sometimes too watery. Bread has occasionally felt stale or dry, cakes have been quite firm, and sourdough portions sometimes appear noticeably thinner than expected. These may seem like small details, but they become more noticeable when the pricing is on the higher end. I’m sharing this in the spirit of support. I would love to keep coming back regularly, and I hope the shop can find a balance between maintaining quality, consistency, and keeping core menu items accessible for the local community.

This is such a fantastic addition to the neighborhood. The pastries are truly fantastic and the vibe is impeccable. Very excited to come back and try their breakfast and lunch, this will be a new regular spot!

Easily one of the best bakeries in the city. So many highlights it is hard to know where to start. Croissants and sourdough bread are as good as they get. Rotating specialty pastries are out of this world: cherry mascarpone danish, a miso citrus carrot cake, cardamom bun, I could go on and on. Also great coffee drinks. Lovely atmosphere. And extremely nicer staff. An amazing addition to the neighborhood.

My husband and I had a lovely lunch here today! He had the smoked trout toast which was delicious and beautifully presented, I had the seasonal soup which was butternut squash and it was flavorful and warming. We also tried the croissant which was super flaky and nicely laminated, along with the ube cheese cake. The coffee was also excellent. I cannot wait to go back and try more pastries! The cafe itself is charming and the staff were attentive and friendly. Highly recommend!
