Good place to stay for those who is looking a work space woth their own devices. A quiet music on background is calm and relaxing. I took a cappuccino with oat milk and it was really good. Almond croissant is big and has enough almond paste to stay with the name almond. It seems that the owner did not put a lot of money into renovation. However it makes the atmospheric and cozy environment. Friendly staff. Good choice of drinks.

My go-to coffee shop in Greenpoint! The baristas are all so lovely and the cozy vibes make it easy to comfortably spend your time in the space.

Have lived here for over ten yrs; have never had a problem ordering coffee while walking my dog. But they wouldn’t allow me to even order and wait outside with the dog. Came back to see if the coffee was worth it and it’s definitely not.

The service is commendable, but the hot chocolate is disappointing – it lacks natural flavor and tastes artificial.

Overpriced SMALL drinks, great almond crossaints and could not focus on enjoying my book with the loud club music blaring over the speakers. The workers can’t even speak at a normal volume and have to shout to talk to each other over the music. This is not a cafe. Don’t come here to get some peace in reading a book or getting work done. No flavored syrups available and the most dry greeting. 2 stars for the delicious almond crossaint.

It’s a bit pricy but nothing outrageous for the area it’s in. The carrot cake muffin is really good!

Decaf Cappuccino tastes great, though I was hoping it was in a mug since I dine in. Music, light, and tables are cozy and pretty much spread out to avoid congestion. However, I do want to notify that customers can't use their bathroom, I know it's a way to control people staying for too long(especially for work) but it indeed kind of frustrating.

You start outside. You always start outside. Start out across the street, on the west side of Manhattan ave, a street that courses through Greenpoint. Its cerulean store sign might catch your eye, but its name 'odd fox' might not, it's printed in such a faded, almost careless black. Still, the quaint result might be enough to intrigue you. The street is also probably empty enough to jay walk across, so you might, which you might do, the dream is unbroken. The café has a railroad layout. The larger front room is divided like a paper folded hotdog style. There is the barista's bar on the left, and two-seater tables clinging to the right. The bar side is roomier than the table side, emphasizing whose domain this is. The walls are the shade of parchment paper and scattered with frames, gold and dark brown. A few of them hold illustrated portraits of posh foxes in renaissance clothing, but most embrace bare wall. Golden semi-opaque lamps hang over the bar. No which one is alike, but the shapes seem like friends and emit a similar warm light. It's comfortingly dim inside, not so bright where everything becomes ugly but an improvement from the light in, say, a typical NY apartment, which may be why so many of its patrons are working on their laptops here instead of at home. Whenever a bus passes by on the street, it fills the entire storefront window and the café briefly darkens. The front room ends at a wall full of holes, the holes being a door frame and two punched-out windows. Beyond this wall is a smaller back room. Though compact, this second room doesn't feel cramped, perhaps because of the holes and the light coming in from the patio door in the back. You could go out the patio door, but then you'd be back outside. And it's hot out there. The sun smiles but is unkind. You might take a peek, though. You've always wanted a backyard. There are large tables and benches sitting lazily under enormous tree branches. Ok, it's time to go back inside. You sit at the counter by the bar, sip a drip coffee, which has a comforting fruity taste. The croissant is bready and definitely not the best croissant, but it is large and satisfying.

I stopped by Odd Fox on my walk in the neighborhood and bought a coffee. I sat down in the seating area for 15 minutes after a workout class. I thought the space was creative and liked the coffee. I decided to come back again an hour later to do some creative writing. I asked the Barista a question about seating since I was there not too long prior.I was yelled at with such vitriol & pretentiousness by the barista. I was confused by how my question could prompt such an overblown reaction--I understand that coffee shops are a business, however, I believe that there should be a decorum that is used when speaking with customers--especially if they are new to the neighborhood."Robert" (if that is his real name) proceed to berate me for asking a question about seating. I will not be returning to Odd Fox & there other coffee shops in the area that have better customer service and treat their patrons with kindness. I'd suggest going to SweetLeaf, Bakeri, or Eleva. I've never been spoken to that offensively at a coffee shop. Honestly in a world that can use a bit more kindness I'm very upset with that interaction today. Maybe Robert was having a bad day. Regardless, how we treat other people is a deeper reflection of ourselves. If you want to go to a coffee shop that treats its customers well go to another coffee shop in the area.Edit: Robert stopped by another coffee shop I was doing work in & slammed a note on my desk and walked out. I spoke to the owner about this situation / behavior and my personal concerns around invasion of physical space. It's one thing to use unkind language but it's far more egregious to overstep and invade a stranger's personal space. I'm waiting to hear back from the owner on how this situation will be rectified.

Drinks were solid. We stopped by on a hot hot day and our group was slightly bigger (5 people), so we ended up sitting apart because the seating was catered to much smaller groups - no problem. Noticed a lot of people seem to park themselves there with a computer, so an option to work from coffee shop if that’s something you like. It wasn’t too loud in there as well, which was nice.

Excellent coffee, friendly staff, great neighborhood joint. However, they don't offer flavor syrup. No biggy though. Inside is nice and clean.

I can typically always count on this place to make a good coffee. Very chill atmosphere. The staff is always very nice as well.

Just excellent coffee. Great place to work. I like this more than a lot of coffee shops nearby.
