Atmosphere was nice and unique so that's a plus. My Cortado was maybe a 6 or 7 out of 10. Not the worst but could be better. Going into the first couple of sips, it was nice and smooth and had a good crema. The rest of the drink though was like watery and so that is where it kind of failed. I ordered it in a paper cup to go. They don't have Cortado cups so they filled up a regular cup part of the way. A Cortado cup or glass is better for measurement as it ensures you aren't going to put too much milk in there. They said they do have Cortado glasses.

Great atmosphere. Coffee was too acidic for me. Lavender latte was great!

Mocha is very good. Perfect amount of chocolate and coffee milk ratio. Very tasty and nice ambiance. The decor was nice

A really chill laptop-free cafe.The decor is refurbished wood pieces, so it has sights to see.Ordered a latte and it was decent for my 2pm pick me up.Place gets packed and seating is limited. Not sure if it's the best place to have a large meet up.

Knocked off a star for their service. The men especially seem to be having a bad day and are not very inviting. Seems to be the same whether its a weekday or weekend. It doesn’t feel good to sit inside and enjoy our coffee and pastries when they have an attitude. Everything else is great, the coffee is consistently amazing. The ladies are very kind and friendly.

Deeply sick and tired of places in Brooklyn that do not list their correct hours. Either you are open until eight (little hand on the eight) or until 7 (little hand on the seven), and it should not be a surprise if someone arrives! How hard is it to keep your hours up to date guys? I changed them on Apple because y'all can't be bothered. Coffee is just okay.

Nice place to get some work done. Quiet with pretty good coffee. Good location too. Will be back.

Great place to grab a coffee! It's gotta a cool rustic vibe there's also a table with no laptop policy can't complain given the atmosphere of the place I'd recommend to check it
Ive meticulously tried cold brew from all the neighborhood coffee shops. Black Brick’s is consistently the best. To top it off it’s also one of the cheaper options around.

Perfect vibe and atmosphere for work. Coffee could be a bit more intense but still good.

There are no empty seats at all on holidays and the crowds keep coming. The ceiling is made of wooden boxes. I really like the decoration of the store. It’s so happy to drink HOT Chai on a snowy day.

Great, underrated, coffee shop.It’s not a chain or its own roaster but black brick is a true local favorite!!Solid coffee, plenty of seating with a pleasant outside garden when weather permits. Inside the vibe is cozy and mellow.Something i really appreciate is Definitely does NOT have a somewhat sterile “lets have a business meeting vibe” like many others.

Update 2024: still my favorite. Great staff, all around nice people. People complain about the laptop policy, I for one appreciate it and think that it's very good.During weekends there's a large table in the back that fits 6 people or so and a couch where 2 more can sit that allows laptops. The rest of the seating is for people having conversations and doing non-laptop things like reading and conversing.During the week there's another 5 tables were laptops are allowed (most of the cafe!).This is a nice balance and frankly very helpful so that you can find a place to seat and have a conversation most of the time when meeting a friend. It also gives the place a nice charm missing in places were everyone is at their laptop.If I know I need to be on my laptop on a weekend, yes, I consider going elsewhere. It's inconvenient at times since I love this place, but that's part of why it is great.----Original review:It's my favorite coffee shop in the area. The staff is nice, the ambience is great, their coffee and drinks are the best, and their prices are great. If you specify that your order is to stay they'll also use proper cups, not disposable ones, which is also very nice.For pastries, their chocolate croissant and the tahini chocolate chunk cookies are wonderful.
