Parviz Mukhamadkulov, the far-left owner of Poetica Coffee in Park Slope, New York, has drawn scrutiny following an anti-Semitic online screed that included a personal attack on Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY), who recently visited the store with his young daughter.

The company’s website claims a commitment to “radical hospitality,” that its guests are “sacred,” and that the door is “open to everyone.”

Everyone, apparently, except Jews.

Poetica shared a picture of Goldman in their store with a comment that said, “Hey @repdangoldman, we see that you stopped by our shop today for a coffee.”

“Do you see how it doesn’t taste like genocide juice? Or are you still having a hard time telling the difference?”

“See, here at Poetica, we don’t serve racists, fascists, homophobes, genocide enablers, or anyone in between. Too bad we didn’t recognize you right away, or we would have turned you away.”

“We issued you a refund-we don’t need your money (it’s probably coming from AlPAC anyways). Enjoy your loss on
Tuesday.”

“Don’t ever come to Poetica.”

Goldman’s response was polite and measured.

“I’m sorry to see this post. The barista could not have been nicer to my 7-yr-old daughter and me – allowing her to use the bathroom even though we had not purchased anything.”

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

Although Mukhamadkulov eventually deleted the post, his history of disturbing commentary led to a deeper look at his background and prior outbursts.

The Washington Free Beacon notes that Mukhamadkulov, an immigrant from Uzbekistan, has celebrated the deaths of Israeli soldiers, accused Israel of being behind Sept. 11, calling it a “nazi nation,” and defended vandalism against Jewish students on college campuses.

The Beacon also notes questionable financial issues surrounding Mukhamadkulov’s businesses:

Mukhamadkulov started Poetica in 2020 during the pandemic. And while he has expanded to eight locations since then, he’s done so as he’s skipped out on paying the Empire State hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax revenue.

As of June 20, 2026, Mukhamadkulov and Poetica Coffee owe the state of New York $397,166.58—mostly in unpaid sales tax—according to the New York Department of Taxation and Finance. All but one of Mukhamadkulov’s 16 docketed warrants were incurred in 2025.

In 2023, Poetica and its landlord, Ying Wee Corp, were sued for failing to comply with accessibility requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Poetica failed to appear or answer the lawsuit, and Ying Wee Corp settled for $18,500. A year later, Ying Wee Corp sued Poetica and Mukhamadkulov for unpaid rent and costs associated with the ADA lawsuit, with a judge ultimately ordering the Uzbek to pony up more than $39,000, records show.
