about
Who We Are
DEAR MAMA COFFEE is an innovative specialty coffee roaster, liquor bar, and eatery that blends lifestyle, art and community building under one roof.
DEAR MAMA COFFEE was founded by a group of native New Yorkers who believe one should love what they do. We strive to create a space that welcomes diversity, embodies passion, evokes gestures of kindness and sharing, encourages curiosity, and embraces knowledge while empowering our community. We needed to create that environment because it simply didn’t exist in the area. And what better place to have our start than right here in East Harlem, New York City? Our executive team has the collective experience to elevate current standards of hospitality and community-building by proudly nurturing our local culture.
Our mission is simple: Do Good - Feel Good. We began committed to the idea that our establishment would become the metaphorical seed of positivity in the community.
What El Barrio Is Saying About Us
Wonderful hidden gem in East Harlem. Great coffee and food. Great ambiance showcasing local artists work. Also worth noting: incredibly versatile and ergonomic seating and their friendly staff. — Courtney
Outstanding coffee shop. The coffee was well prepared and they have a number of unique options in addition to the standards. The real star was the chocolate chip cookie which was reminiscent of Levain. — Brandon
I live in the neighbourhood and am so happy to have stumbled upon it! It's a cute cafe with amazing sandwiches. I had the smoked salmon tartine and the El Barrio egg sandwich and they were both delicious! — Brittany
