Cafeterias near Brooklyn, NY

“I can’t think of another place that combines truly S-tier offerings with extraordinarily quick service (usually like 5 minutes for anything to come out), fair prices by 2026 standards (e.g., $16 sandwich), and good seating availability“

“I call it a coffee shop but it's a lot more than that... It's also a deli with great food, delicious bakery items, and excellent coffee. And the manager and workers are helpful and friendly. They open at 9a and are in the lobby of a high rise office building. Definitely will return each time I'm working in Brooklyn...today was my fourth time! I will update with pics when I go tomorrow!“

“Located inside Kingsborough Community College in Brooklyn, this cafeteria is a hub for students. It offers a very casual and welcoming vibe. One of the highlights is its proximity to the water—students often enjoy the scenic beach view while having their meals.“

“I highly recommend Daria/Dasha as a personal trainer. She is very knowledgeable, motivating, and truly cares about her clients’ progress. I’ve learned so much training with her! Truly the best she is!“

“I absolutely love PEP. Honestly, I love everything about this place — the pastries, the macarons, the coffee, and even the porridge.

I especially want to highlight the pastries and macarons — they are always incredibly fresh. My absolute favorite are the guava macarons. They are just perfect every single time.

I also want to thank the baristas for their amazing work. All the girls are so welcoming, polite, and always open to a little small talk, which makes the experience even more special. You can really feel the positive energy.

Unfortunately, I forgot the name of my favorite barista — she has dark red hair — but her coffee is always the best ❤️ She somehow makes it taste even better every time.

PEP is truly one of my favorite spots, and I always look forward to coming back.“
