“Staff is so nice! Yummy local beer and A+ avocado toast :)“

“Food was good and friendly customer service. I will recommend everyone this place.“

“Espresso drinks > drip coffee. As good as it gets in the area - minus the specialty places with third wave beans.

Great breakfast sandwiches — always piping hot, straight off the grill. Highly recommend - this is a local favorite for a reason.“

“Excellent food and lovely people!!! Recommended 100%“

“My experience with Daniel was exceptional. He was very quick and attentive. Very friendly and we had a great conversation 🙂. He is a great barista but even better employee. He seems to love the business and the job itself. Thank you for the amazing biscoff latte.“

“They operate out of a renovated RV with only outdoor seating from my observation. It's definitely a unique little spot, but don't expect too much. I enjoyed my coffee, and the service was awesome about informing me on vegan latte options!“

“It’s more of a desert shop. Very tasty. The atmosphere is great too and very clean. The only down fall to the restaurant is the staff. Not welcoming at all and don’t greet you. I’m from out of country and I love to experience new places and I like to go back to restaurants that are friendly and warm, however, I won’t return here because of the staff lack of hospitality.“

“AMAZINGGGG BUBBLE TEA, CREPE, ROLLED ICE CREAM & MORE!!! WILL BE BACK FOR SURE“

“Worth the trip for some yummy and unique gluten free food! I wish there were more locations, if this was closer to me I would be visiting here all the time. They are a small shop and were pretty busy when we went in on a Sunday afternoon, but the staff was super friendly and very accommodating. Hashbrowns and waffles were to die for 😍“

“Healthy foods and a relaxing atmosphere. Nice people too!“

“They’re food is outstanding! I would highly recommend them to all. Cakes are delicious and moist! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽“

“Wonderful staff, great vibes and delicious food all in a cozy and inviting space. Check it out!“

“Incredible shop that I love to see thriving. The knowledge of the baristas is incredible, and table side service! Every drink I’ve had is unique and flavorful, from the regular latte to their Filipino based bevs. So happy to have this neighborhood spot!“

“Mr. Khalit is amazing! I stumbled upon his shop while i was waiting for my train at Kew Gardens station. It was extremely cold day and was around the shop’s closing time, yet he asked me to stay in his shop even though my train won’t be here for a while. Mr. Khalit is kindhearted and seems to love his job. I’m so glad I found this gem and definitely will visit again if I have the opportunity!“

“Love this place!
So happy it’s just around the corner from me ☺️. The bartenders are amazing, Jessica is such a sweetheart and makes the absolute best drinks. The owner is super cool and really sets the tone for the great vibes here.
The cook always puts out delicious finger foods which are perfect for snacking while drinking. I especially love when they do karaoke nights and bring in live bands, it’s always a fun time. And when DJ Sound Nice plays there, he always has the place rocking with all types of music.

This spot is a total gem—great atmosphere, great people, and always a good time!“

“I've never tried Kava before and so, I really wanted to check it out! This spot in Brooklyn is a very casual, relaxed, and chill spot for you to hang with friends or get some work done (there's free wi-fi!). The menu is pretty straight forward and you can get either your choice of tea or a cocktail.

I ended trying Blood moon, lassi, Kolkata, and Cinnamon toast crunch cocktails. The cocktails themselves were pretty decent and just tasted like juice. Definitely a cool experience, and I would love to try other spots.“

“When I asked for a refill on my iced coffee they said, “of course! I feed my customers like my family.”

The burger was perfection. I don’t remember getting such genuinely incredible customer service and it was the first time I visited. Love the community in this area.

When I googled “cafe” in the neighborhood, this place came up. Absolutely worth coming here.“

“Nice neighborhood coffee spot with a friendly staff and a welcoming vibe. The coffee was really good and exactly what you want from a solid local café. It has that typical coffee shop atmosphere where most tables are filled with people working on their laptops, which makes it feel lively but still relaxed. A good place to grab a coffee and spend some time.“

“I'm in town visiting family and had the chance to check out a few local spots that came highly recommended. Blacksmiths Breads was one of the breakfast places on my list.. and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The coffee was spot-on and the croissant was perfectly soft, buttery, and fresh. Everything hit the mark. I’ll definitely be back, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch, quick breakfast spot. 10/10!“

“One of the best places to get amazing coffee and tea. Excellent customer service, and .... the nicest staff ever! This place is defenitely a great addition to the Greenpoint area. I highly recommend their iced matcha latte!“

“good food the most amazing jerk chicken and the best drinks“

“Soulful Neighborhood Gem!
I feel truly blessed to have discovered Across Broadway Cafe. It is a rare find that manages to be both delicious and quaint, offering a cozy atmosphere that immediately feels like home.
The South American food here is the real deal—everything is incredibly fresh and delicious. They offer a great variety of authentic flavors, from perfectly cooked meals
to rich, bold coffee. You can tell everything is made with high-quality ingredients and a lot of heart.
What really sets this place apart, though, are the kind people. The staff treats you like family, and their genuine hospitality makes every visit special. If you want a fresh, authentic meal in a space that feels welcoming and warm, this is the spot!
I had only a small sample , would love to have more 😊“

“My girlfriend and I came back twice in 2 days The food was delicious and the 2 people working the front were amazing, they deserve a raise and anyone who disagrees honestly wouldn’t know good service if it bopped them on their bald spot. 10/10 great success“

“Love this place. My kids can’t get enough. Amazing food and staff!“

“Great service and ambiance I had the avocado toast to die for and the coffee was amazing“

“Took my class here for a trip today and the staff was amazing, cookies were extra delicious. Kudos to all the staff for being so patient and attentive to my students. The kids had an absolute blast decorating their cookies.“

“I'm very pleased with the service I received here. It's the perfect little café in the neighborhood.
I like the variety of beverages they have! The staff is very warm and they take care of you. The atmosphere is quiet, realxing and clean. And, it's very affordable!!
I'm so glad I found this café and I will be coming back again and again.“

“Soft butch is the place you want to be if you want community, INCREDIBLY MADE coffee++, and amazing service. The owners really care about what they’re doing and you can tell from both talking to them and experiencing their drinks. I’ve gone there to do work and it’s been perfect, lots of outlets, quiet, and good vibes. Every time I walk into their space, I feel like I’m in an episode of cheers but it’s queer, Brooklyn, and so welcoming. Go for the drinks, stay for the people.“

“This coffee is the best coffee that I have ever had. It has ruined all other coffee for me...which is not a bad thing.🖤🖤🖤“

“I just came from Berlin, Germany and this place would fit right in!! Very unique and cute. Loved it.“

“After numerous attempts with different places, I finally found a place that satisfied my wife's craving for a GOOD, FRESH-TASTING chicken cutlet sandwich. Chicken was freshly breaded & grilled upon my order, great portion, no complaints. Service was great too, the ladies working there were very friendly & welcoming. I'd definitely go back.“

“After a gazillion weeks of quarantine, or what seemed like anyway, we dined out in their courtyard. Everything was fresh and tasty and excellent service. It truly was a well earned treat, Looking forward to our next visit.“

“I will go the distance for excellent coffee and pastries and Rita & Maria has both!! I’ve been coming to this quaint cafe for the past 2 years or more. The cafe is a 20 min walk from my place and it’s well worth the trek. I would typically walk over with my dog, so it gave him a chance to sniff along the way. Each of the many visits have been a good experience. The staff is always welcoming and friendly, no matter how busy they are and there is typically a bit of a line. I’ve had my fair share of delicious pastries—maybe to my own detriment (working on discipline)! Rita & Maria’s never fails to impress, always offering a unique twist on their pastries and changing them for the seasons. Their baker creates some wonderful creations. The most recent tasty, perfect pastry was their citrus olive oil fennel cake. Soo soo good and moist. The fennel gave it a nice twist. The sizable piece was perfect and once I finished I wanted to have another! Of course, it’s all about moderation. I’ll be back for a slice another day!“

“Excellent service, excellent food, excellent atmosphere!!! The young man who makes the coffee and the lady who makes the sandwiches make a great team. The coffee is top-notch; I've tried many coffees from different countries, and this one is super mega good. The sandwiches... They're the best I've had since I've been in NYC. I highly recommend them.“

“Literally, everytime I’ve gotten a smoothie, juice, sandwhich, patty, whatever, it’s been SO GOOD! I’m always impressed and can tell they take their time making their food and drinks and with very clean, tasty ingredients. Would definitely recommend dropping by when you’re in the neighborhood!“

“Came here to kill some time whilst waiting for my hotel check in time. Barista was really lovely, greeted me as I walked in, immediately asked and prepared my drink. Place itself has a very chill vibe and lots of regulars, despite that they pay attention to new customers too.“

“This is place is absolutely adorable and quaint! The owners are such beautiful people and sooooo creative. The food is healthy and the entire vibe feels welcoming and homey. I love love love coming here!!!! Very kid friendly! You can tell they really care about their business because of all of the attention to detail within their market! <3 We even have our mompreneur meetings here!!“

“Ordered on DoorDash. Hungry man made correctly, fresh ingredients. Bagel with choc chip cream cheese. Also fresh. Good spread. Copious amounts of the cream cheese. Bagel fresh not to chewy. Overall decent experience. Now let's take it up a notch and sell spreads on DD by the 1/4 & 1/2 pounds!“

“I was back in town for a couple days, and promised I would stop by and show support to Aaron. This is a great spot. Great atmosphere, excellent coffee. And seen someone from high school which was awesome. Great job Aaron, proud of you bro, keep up the great work. Next time I'm in town, will definitely stop back through. �“

“Great local spot. I was in the area for a meeting. My breakfast sandwich was bomb. Flavors were yummy! Lox, pickled onion and cilantro with veggie cream cheese on an everything. 😋 Music was bumping and the atmosphere inviting.“

“My sister loves this spot so had to check it out. Enjoyed their cara caramel latte and latte with vanilla malt syrup. Tons of pastries to choose from. Enjoyed their spinach feta as well as breakfast burrito. They sell merch and tons of other cute knickknacks. Plenty of space to sit and enjoy whatever you end up ordering. The coffee baristas were super nice. Will be back for more caffeine!! You can encounter long lines depending on what time you come in.“

“I stopped at Alita this morning for the BEC on the chorizo and cheddar biscuit. I was expecting something tasty, but I was floored by how incredibly delicious this sandwich was. This was the type of sandwich that I would leave Manhattan for and order again. Simply wonderful. Thank you!“

“Good food and quick service. Recommended.“

“Todo recomendable, buena atención y exquisito todo!!!“

“We stayed at the JFK one night and enjoyed a delicious breakfast at the Paris Cafe the next morning. The French toast and the omelet we had were very good. We had attentive service from our waiter, Marco. The atmosphere and the views were outstanding. It was a memorable experience that we can hopefully repeat on the near future.“

“This is hands down one of my favorite spots. Everything is always fresh, flavorful, and made with care. You can truly taste the quality in their juices and smoothies.The vibe is always welcoming and positive. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about health and wellness.“

“This place is a true neighborhood gem. I’ve been coming here since I first moved to the area when my kids were little, and it has stayed consistently amazing over the years. The staff are always warm and welcoming, the food is fresh and delicious, and the atmosphere just makes you feel good the moment you walk in.

In a time where great service can be hard to find, this place really stands out. I’m so grateful to have such a wonderful local spot in the neighborhood.“

“Smoothies are delicious!♥️ service with a smile ♥️“

“What a lovely new addition to the neighborhood! Had the iced strawberry matcha latte and very happy with my order. I am not a huge matcha fan, but I think of it the way folks think of beer… there’s gotta be the right matcha out there for everyone haha. I can tell you right now that my latte was delicious and I can’t wait to go back and try some of their other drinks!

PS - Because each drink is made to order it can take a few minutes to get your drink. Perfection takes time, I don’t know what to tell y’all if you’re in a rush :) chill Ridgewood vibes - don’t bring Manhattan “I’m always late” energy into the space.“

“I make a habit to go to Seitan’s Helper every time I’m in New York for work. I get 4 sandwiches , to also have with me for traveling back on the train.
As a vegetarian , getting a good sandwich is hard … but these 2 take sandwiches to a new level and make them above and beyond.

On top of the amazing food , the 2 owners are lovely people, and are always jamming out to some 2000s pop-punk

Highly recommend to anyone , vegan/vegetarian or not!!“
