Really beautiful, warm, cozy little cafe with very good espresso. Even a little bar to sit at. Very clean stylish bathroom. All is small but very well taken care of and a reason why we love small directly owned cafes só much more than fancy or chain hipster coffee shops. - go support!

GREAT spot for coffee or beer.

Café Martin for me is the very best cappuccino place in Brooklyn. Actually, I think it is the best cappuccino place in the tri-state area. Most places either under roast the beans making the espressos sour, or they over roast them making them taste burned and extra bitter. In most places the milk is either way too cool, or occasionally way too hot. In most places, the cappuccino is either way too strong, or way too weak, such a Starbucks. In most places the foam is too fluffy and airy, or there's hardly any foam.
Most places get a couple of things above correct, but this is the only place that gets all of the things above correct all of the time.
As a bonus, I love the old world atmosphere.
For me, Café Martin is on par with Rome and Naples.

Barista is charming and the space is cute but the coffee tastes like ashes. Might appeal for cigarette pairings.

Quaint coffee shop with yummy cappuccino and warm service.

The best coffee in New York! Full disclosure, I’ve only been here for four days, but I stand by my comment as I have been drinking quite a lot of coffee. A lovely little place, wonderful people, and great music. If I lived round the corner I’d be a daily regular. And if I lived elsewhere in the city I’d make a special trip.

Great coffee and nice croissants in a cosy place. Very personal and friendly - feels like home. One of the nicest places in Brooklyn.

Cafe Martin is hands down the best coffee shop in NYC. No other place has the same caliber of coffee, hospitality and straight up good vibes. Don’t even think about going to a different coffee shop. Seriously, if I hear that you went somewhere else there are gonna be problems.

Delightfully cozy coffee chop with a tranquil old world atmosphere. Like if a small reading room at a beautiful library was a coffee shop. Staff are wonderful too. Excellent coffee and hard boiled eggs!
