I love botani! The baristas are super knowledgeable and kind. They regularly have new and interesting menu items, many developed by the baristas behind the bar. They also sell items from local businesses like tumblers, candles, books, and other handmade goods. As the name suggests, they have a mini tropical jungle that makes the space feel super bright, even on gloomy days. In the warmer months, the outdoor seating is so lovely. Perfect spot to get some work done, talk to your neighbors, and get some good coffee.

Coffee is good but only to go…the vibe no so much feels like some sort of coworking space rather than a coffee shop..just a bunch of snobby people on their laptops pretending to be working. Sad because it’s a cute place and would like to actually sit there with a friend and have a pastry and a conversation but doesn’t feel welcoming.

Best cafe in BedStuy, there I said it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The vibes are warm, the staff is sweet and the drinks are delicious. 
Michael and the staff are all so lovely (Maria, Elena, Parker & Nick my all-star lineup) They curate new pretty plants and books regularly, AND they do pop-ups supporting local artists.

My go-to spot to get some work/writing done. It gets busy often, but there’s almost always a seat available. AND THE PLAYLISTS ARE REALLY GOOD I always leave with a few new songs Shazammed and make new friends there on the regular.

Love this place. My go-to cafe for 2 years and counting 💚🍵

As a coffee shop lover who has visited cafés around the world, I can confidently say that Botani is in my top 5. Today, with the snow outside and a great coffee in hand, the atmosphere feels truly unique. It’s the perfect place to enjoy an excellent cup of coffee and spend some quality time. Easily one of the best spots in this area. Highly recommended. ☕❄️

I wasn’t going to write a review . But it was my first time at this coffee shop and the vibe is not it. It’s not welcoming they don’t greet you . I said hello with a smile no hello back. I ordered a large matcha latte and when she was about to pour it in the cup it was the smallest cup ever. So I said “oh I wanted large and pointed to large cups on the counter “ it was hard to hear what she said but kinda mumbled - something about those cups are for other drinks? . I was very confused and annoyed. Never coming back. I will attach a picture of my “large matcha latte.”

i was having a great day before i decided to go to botani cafe. i just wanted coffee and a pastry and it seemed very difficult to get either of them without an attitude/acrimonious back and forth.

too bad, could be a cute place if they change the staff.

I really regret spending my money here. The service felt cold, rude, and honestly bizarre. There are plenty of other great spots nearby that offer better coffee and much friendlier service. Fix your attitude or don't work in the service industry, coming from someone who works in it myself.

Today I decided to get some coffee and went into a random coffee shop. I ordered an Americano, but the person behind the counter asked me twice what I wanted, and in the end, they still didn’t make what I asked for.
After me, several people came in and ordered just black coffee — they got their drinks right away, while I stood there for about 20 minutes. Eventually, after I asked again, I still didn’t get anything. I just left — no coffee, no refund.
Another unpleasant moment was when the barista threw the change into my hand with clear disdain. I can’t say the coffee shop itself is bad, but I was really dissatisfied with my experience.
