What Karen Weng doesn't like about Diesel Cafe:
This restaurant is a better option for studying or working rather than for enjoying food or coffee. It's decent, but not amazing. If you dislike loud music in other coffee shops, I would suggest trying this place as the noise level here is moderate and not disruptive. View all feedback. What Prajna S likes about Diesel Cafe:
Diesel is a great place to relax and enjoy yourself. The vibe is funky, with cool decorations like a photo booth and two pool tables. Their sandwiches are delicious, and they can also make vegan versions. The staff is welcoming, and the overall experience at Diesel is definitely worthwhile. View all feedback.

Diesal Café is a tad bit better than say, Starbucks, and yet thinks it's a lower East Side coffee shop. It's not. The lattes were okay as long as the female bar...

Service is sooooooo slow. 40 minutes for JUST a latte at 1pm. Food is pretty good but very overpriced. WiFi is free but limited to I think 2 hours
