I love this little spot. Just moved into the neighborhood from Mississippi and was delighted to find this coffeeshop around the corner. I never thought Id find a croissant tastier than Starbucks, but I was so wrong. These guys know how to make a friggin croissant, baby!! I was a little annoyed at first about not being allowed to use my laptop at the first few tables, but I kinda get it now. Headed back there again this morning to start my day. I must warn you, however, that if you arrive after 2pm in hopes of getting a wifi connection, forget about it. I cant seem to connect unless it is during the mornings.

I came here for French Press coffee, which they do have.. However its served by the cup from a regular spigot thermos, like drip coffee. Youre not provided with a french press at your table. As such, youre a bit at the mercy of how long ago they made the coffee. I found it ok, but not great. After watching them make it, the barista also used too little coffee in the press for my taste as well. It was affordable, however. This appears to be a neighborhood place, but the signs sternly warning against laptop/tablet use on some tables did little to make customers feel welcome.

I used to love this place, but its gotten crowded and the staff less accommodating. I was just there today, hoping to do a little work on my laptop. When I could not get online using the password and set up that has worked for months before. Others were able to get online, but a few of us were not, for no apparent reason. I went to the man at the counter for help. He could not have given less of a crap, implied it was on my end and turned away. I want so badly to support this place, but if this is how I am going to be treated, nevermind.

Steeplechase Coffee is exactly what I need from a cafe and I would pretty unhappy without it in my neighborhood. My favorite out of Cafe Madeline, Lark Cafe, and Qathra. Coffee/bagels/food is great and they even sell nice loaves of bread and Brooklyn ground coffee. I like to sit and work in cafes for a couple hours and you can actually do that there (outlets, reliable free wifi). Depending on the hour of the day, its not too hard to get seating. They play excellent music thats not obnoxiously loud.

Wonderful service! Professional, friendly, calm. Great drinks and food. Divided into laptop and laptop-free areas. While I wish there were a little more seating for laptop users, the division actually really adds to the great atmosphere. People staying to work can focus in the back; people there to chat or with children or just in and out can enjoy themselves in the front. Brilliant.

Such an adorable tiny cafe that is a welcome addition to the area. I am not a coffee or tea drinker but their sweets are out of this world. Giant oatmeal raisin cookies that are very filling and not too sweet. If youre looking for a gift for an out of town friend, they have cute shirts for all sizes, too.

This place is right below my apartment; so the convenience factor already gives this place an A+. Their soy mochas are delicious and when Im working from home I can get amazing internet service here. The crowd is fun and peaceful. So...do you like coffee? I DO! :-)

Coffee is amazing regardless of how you consume it. Iced, cold brew, espresso, latte, regular, its all great. Limited, but quality, snacks from local bakeries. Cash only which is frustrating because I hardly ever carry any and I really want their coffee!

A quiet coffee shop. Good for getting work done. Minimal food options, but an adequate coffee selection. Laptop/tablet use limited to tables in the rear of the coffee shop. Cash only.

Bob Taliaferro

Great coffee and pastries for a good price. Friendly, knowledgeable and hard-working staff. Love going there! You can either take your leisure at a table, or take it to go.

I end up paying way to much here for coffee that tasted like crap. Your better off going to the deli next store if you want coffee. They have OK pastries though.

Ashley Yang

Excellent coffee and breakfast pastries! Can be busy and crowded on the weekends. Attitude of staff also varies, sometimes they can be nice and sometimes snotty.

Step 1: Order their pour over coffee and a red velvet Twinkie. Step 2: Find a seat in their outdoor seating area. Step 3: Relax and enjoy!

Steeplechase is a Kensington/Windsor Terrace gem. The best coffee in the neighborhood, hands down. I would never go anywhere else.

Christine Tripi

Decent coffee, not great, had the french press, very reasonably priced, bathroom was a little gross. Service was good.

I would come here if Im in the area but not worth going out of your way for given all the coffee options in NYC.

Great hipster spot for the neighborhood. I love that they get a delivery of donuts from doughnut plant
