I had the best croissant of my life here. Great place for a regular spot to work, chill, or just grab a coffee and go. Dog friendly, and people friendly too.

I love little Zelda! Lovely drinks, with friendly folks. Olivia is my favorite barista! She’s charismatic, makes fabulous drinks, and creates great conversation. I always enjoy it here! 100 percent recommend. Make sure to tip well here. The service is worth the recognition.

Little Zelda is the north star of the New York Coffee world. The pinnacle. Tops. The bar-raiser. For atmosphere, it out-Parises Paris. For eats, the curated croissants and cookies are top. And service: whatever year it is, the friendliest baristas. Damn you, beautiful beautiful Little Zelda!
