Corto - Broad Channel

If I remember well, this place opened during or right before the pandemic. I was wondering if it would make it and what a nice surprise! They improved the space making it much more comfortable to seat inside, the outside area is nice and quiet, often busy. The coffee is great. The owner knows his stuff, whoever knows Corto Maltese (likely to be the inspiration of the name) has good taste!

Vegetarian unfriendly as mentioned below but besides that the coffee was a wildly unpredictable ? flavour each time I tried. Felt like much more of a laptop cafe than a brunch cafe. Courtyard is nice thoughVegetarian options: Very very vegetarian unfriendly which is a shame because deli menus literally offer more vegetarian options for much cheaper! Avocado focaccia was just about the only option and is abysmal at that.

Sorry, espresso too acidulous for an Italian...I'll try the focaccia

I ordered American, I love it! haven’t had black coffee taste that smoothly for long time, also the worker are very

Cute cafe with a nice outdoor patio to work in and SUPER delicious sandwiches but the service is rly strange.. 3 out of 4 baristas i interacted with were curt and unpleasant for no reason !0_0!
