A coffee shop in New York City said a congressman was banned after he visited one of its locations Sunday, because the shop objected to his support for Israel.

Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., visited Poetica Coffee in Brooklyn with his 7-year-old daughter.

Following the visit, the coffee shop, which has several locations in New York City, wrote on its Instagram page that he was not welcome back.

"We see that you stopped by our shop today for a coffee," the store wrote in a since-deleted post that included footage of Goldman in the store.

"Do you see how it doesn't taste like genocide juice? Or are you still having a hard time telling the difference?" the post wrote.

"We don't serve racists, fascists, homophobes, genocide enablers, or anyone in between," the post wrote. "Too bad we didn't recognize you right away, or we would have turned you away."

The store also said it was refunding his $9.82 order.

"We don't need your money (it's probably coming from AIPAC anyways)," Poetica wrote.

"Enjoy your loss on Tuesday. Don't ever come to Poetica."

Goldman is being challenged by former New York City comptroller Brad Lander in the Democratic primary Tuesday, with Lander making Goldman's support for Israel a major campaign issue.

Both candidates are Jewish.

Goldman said he visited Poetica so his daughter could use the restroom and that he bought a coffee to say thank you.

"The barista could not have been nicer to my 7-yr-old daughter and me," Goldman wrote.

"I made sure to buy a coffee in return for her kindness. I hope you at least make sure that she gets the tip that she deserved," he wrote.

Poetica appears to have deactivated its Instagram account, though it has faced criticism on social media and numerous negative reviews on Yelp, according to The New York Times.

Lander was critical of Poetica in a statement to the Times.

"There are plenty of ways to lobby elected officials and express outrage at the votes they've taken without turning coffee shops into places where people don't feel welcome," Lander said.

"I'm glad Poetica took down their post, and I thought Representative Goldman's reply was extremely gracious," Lander added.

Lander has run numerous ads trying to tie Goldman to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).

During the campaign, Goldman has run ads criticizing President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and has said he returned campaign donations he previously received from AIPAC.

AIPAC said it has not spent any money on the race.

Poetica's owner Parviz Mukhamadkulov deleted his personal Instagram page on Monday, the New York Times reported.

"The guest is sacred because the act of welcoming is how a community keeps itself intact," the restaurant's website reads.

Harmeet Dhillon, the assistant attorney general for civil rights at the Justice Department, said they have begun an investigation.

"Federal law prohibits public accommodations such as coffee shops from discriminating against patrons based on their race, religion, or national origin," Dhillon wrote on X.

"These actions are not only reprehensible, they're potentially illegal," Dhillon added. The Civil Rights Division has opened an investigation, and will bring an enforcement action if warranted.
