50 Best Coffee Shops in Brooklyn

“😊 An excellent taste 🙏🙂🍀👍“

“The staff, particularly Wendy, couldn’t be more lovely. Wendy tends to my 2 year old grandson which such sweetness! Above and beyond great service. ❤️“

“Popped in for a latte (first time) and it was delicious! They were out of almond milk, so the barista recommended I try macadamia... and I'm glad he did! It was very good. Hamlet made the list of neighborhood cafés I would continue to visit.“

“Best babka I’ve ever had, ohhhh my goodness. Best bakery I’ve been to in a long time, and I am bakery-obsessed. Already dreaming of how and when I can make my way back to Park Slope just for this and the super chocolate-chip cookie. But that babka, this subtle mix of Nutella and chocolate (I don’t even like Nutella) and the smooth, moistness of it all is so perfect, with this sugared little crispy bottom. Shoutout to Omri, a talented stop-motion artist working his last week, who was so warm and helpful to me.

5 stars!!!!“

“great place for breakfast . The coffee was great, i also had Avocado Toast with an Egg. Clean restaurant. huge outside deck.“

“great coffee and great cool staff“

“Best coffee in Brooklyn and very nice atmosphere, diggin in Vinyl and having coffee.“

“Lovebirds was the perfect spot to have my son's first birthday party! We served hors d'oeuvres and dessert which were all amazing! The ceviche and the espresso cheesecake were my favorite! I loved that we didn't feel crowded in the space but it also felt cozy. I will definitely come back and would love to use the space again in the future for another event!“

“What a wonderful place! The staff was so fun and the atmosphere extremely warm and inviting. The cappuccino was foamy and so smooth. They were even nice to my service pup and had no issues with us inside. Seems like the perfect place to be a regular. Will be back 110% also the in house baked goods where 🤌<3“

“I am obsessed with Café Miguel's café de olla. I have been chasing the taste of that Mexican coffee since first trying it in Mexico City years ago, and theirs is incredible. The brunch line can be long, but it's worth it; the chilaquiles are delicious. I have no idea how they make so many different things so fast in that tiny, open air kitchen.“

“Delicious foods and drinks. Great service and nice area .“

“Incredible espresso!! This place is the real deal specialty coffee shop. I really enjoyed my visit and loved the space. They have very good offerings here for coffee and espresso.

They also offer an iced green tea with the espresso as a pallet cleanser in a really cool setting. You can buy a lot of varieties of freshly roasted specialty beans here as well.“

“Really cool mix of coffee shop and chinatown pork buns and other chinese style pastries

I got the cream tart and the pork bun. Both were really good.

Only downside is the entire place was full of people sitting with their laptops so wasnt able to sit anywhere inside.“

“We’ve been coming for years and the Food here is always fresh and so good! Staff and service is always amazing!“

“This was our second time going there. Our daughter goes to Pratt and it's walking distance from the school. It's a small diner but friendly staff. On one of the coldest days of winter the host made sure people were not waiting long for tables as best as she could. The food was good and service was really good. I'm glad my daughter has a place like this close to her dorm.“

“Excellent little Cafe tucked away on a side street in Brooklyn. Run by two delightful sisters. Food was awesome and the Cappuccino. The Waffles I had were amazing with homemade batter. Definitely on my new spot of must stops in Bushwick.“

“Having just moved to NYC, finding a great coffee shop was a top priority for me. All of the employees at Beepublic are so friendly and welcoming. The coffee and cinnamon rolls are excellent. And it’s a great third space to just hang out or do work.“

“Great place, I'll be back😍“

“10/10 would chai tea again 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽“

“Been wanting to try this highly rated Banh Mi shop and finally had a chance to pick up a Mr. Banh Mi and a Vietnamese iced coffee to go. Gentleman handling our order was polite and friendly. Glad to see it’s a small locally owned family business. The banh mi was fresh and well prepared overall. The bread is made in house from my understanding which is impressive. In terms of texture and taste of the bread it’s about average and I’ve had better at a couple of other Brooklyn Banh Mi spots. The veggies are finely shredded which is different than other spots however I did find it lacking a bit of zest. The minced BBQ pork filling is a take from the OG Banh Mi spot that’s been around 40 years in Chinatown. Speaking about filling/cold cuts - it’s your usual except banh mi filling just a tad less amount wise compared to others. The traditional mayo and pate was definitely on the light side or lacking. On to the iced Vietnamese coffee pretty decent taste as some decent spots. Overall I give them kudos for baking their own bread and for prep/presentation but price is a factor comparing other banh mi spots in Asian areas as $13 for a banh mi in Bensonhurst vs $8 to $9.50 in Bensonhurst/Sunset Park/Bay Ridge is a tough bite to digest unless possibly yours is significantly better/bigger than the others. But I still wish their shop to prosper.“

“This is one of the best Blank Street Coffee locations,the service here is phenomenal, and the staff are so friendly that you naturally build connections while picking up your favorite latte,the welcoming atmosphere keeps you coming back it’s worth the trip,even if you live an hour away.“

“Dropped in to the Chelsea location 2 weeks ago while vacationing in NYC. Great coffee, great atmosphere, great price. What’s not to like?“

“Very good coffee shop nice baristas and great vibes inside“

“Incredible local cafe. Great eclectic collection of books, magazines, and records. Staple for daily coffee and matcha. If you like cold brew, you’ll love their rocket fuel. Weekends feature amazing events and pop ups, plus extra specialty pastries. Ambience is equally comfy as it is insanely cool. One of a kind!“

“The ambiance here is so cute! You can tell it's a real local spot. Incredibly cozy. And the staff are amazing! The two ladies who work here are always so welcoming, especially with babies and kids!
This is becoming our new go to spot for good coffee and good neighborhood vibes.“

“My favorite coffee shop! Excellent coffee, service, atmosphere and of course the food is brilliant! I highly recommend Black Milk Coffee and Crepes! You will be very pleased!“

“rigtig god mad, og fantastisk service“

“Stopped by today after the St Patrick's parade. The cafe was busy but we got our order within minutes even though we ordered quite a lot for our group. Baristas were very polite and friendly. My matcha was exceptional! We are new to the neighborhood but this is def my go-to spot from now on.“

“I stopped here on the way to work to try a Coquito Latte and it was amazing. I had the pleasure of being served by Nelly. She was an absolute sweet heart , tentative , and gave out standing customer service . 787 is a great spot and I def highly recommend if you wanna try out a lovely Puerto Rican spot!.“

“This coffee place has such a cute, cozy, vintage vibe. The staff is incredibly friendly, and it’s exactly the kind of café I love going to — whether to work a bit, grab a coffee on my own, or share a moment with a friend.

It’s a small spot with limited seating, which actually adds to its charm. There are no restrooms, but the coffee is truly excellent. I ordered a cappuccino with almond milk and it was really good, and my friend had a latte that was just as great.

A lovely little café with amazing coffee and a warm atmosphere. Highly recommend.“

“This is such a beautiful, warm and welcoming space. I feel like a just unearthed a new treasure! Now my favorite cafe. Best atmosphere and the treats are fresh and delicious —albeit a bit pricey, even compared to other cafes in the area. I think the reason for this might be that it is one of those very few places left in the city where one can really sit comfortably and peacefully for hours without feeling rushed to leave so the table can be turned. We should be ready and willing to pay a little extra to help keep these places open; I definitely am. Love this place!“

“Wonderful iced latte! lovely staff, delish little breads and donuts.“

“Delicious coffee and food. Came with family after walking BK Bridge and it was perfect morning spot. David, our server, was awesome! Super friendly and spoke spanish with my fam (when he could tell they were struggling a bit). 10/10 would recommend.“

“It's simply a wonderful cafe with the best coffee I have ever tasted. Just about everything is authentically from Yemen. There Hibiscus juice is to die for and Yemen style lemonade is delicious. The atmosphere is inviting and people are sweet and kind!“

“The coffee and food were amazing! The atmosphere is so unique.and inviting. Someone was playing the piano, as others were working while enjoying their lunch . They now have a beautiful garden with fresh herbs and a patio to enjoy Vendors on the weekends selling beautiful things The staff and owner were very nice and welcoming! I look forward to enjoying this beautiful new cafe for many years to come.“

“excellent et frais 🤩 je recommande !“

“Nice little neighborhood coffee/ wine cafe',, they have some seating outside, a variety of pastries, friendly staff“

“Best local spot in Greenpoint / Williamsburg area! The owner and baristas are extremely friendly and the atmosphere has a local laid back feel to it. My personal favorite is the iced Rocket Fuel. The flavor is smooth and it really gives me a refreshing boost when I need some extra energy“

“Excellent family friendly cafe 🍵Recommend the chai masala, lavender donut and rose elixir matcha! Follow @maria.angelspear for more cafe gems ☕️🎀✨“

“Great spot! I got a strawberry milk tea with Boba and loved it, the Boba was fresh and the milk tea was delicious! I will say that the milk tea was on the sweeter side and had more if an artificial strawberry taste, (which I personally like) but if you don't like that kind of taste maybe get something else, there is an option to get get less sweetness as well. I really liked it though! The server was really nice too! Also, random but the ice was really tasty for some reason. 🤷‍♀️😅“

“There’s art here, there’s the dance of coffee with creativity, there’s flavor and freshness…
With its perfect coffee and friendly baristas, it’s become an essential part of my mornings.
I definitely recommend it to everyone!“

“my first time here, the food was great and presentation of food is delightful. will definitely go back“

“The people that work here are super friendly and helpful. The food is excellent and the coffee is delicious.“

“I went there to just wait till the ferry back to wall street arrived, and I'm so glad I chose this cafe.
I tried a colombian sweet cheese bread called Pandebono for the first time ever and I was blown beyond means.
I ended up packing two more to snack on later.
The interior of the cafe is soo cute as well. I really had a great time just chilling by myself here
I'd definitely visit again when I'm back in Brooklyn.“

“Pastries are excellent! Chef Björn is ok too 😂“

“I’ve never had the food (but I’m sure it’d be amazing!). The coffee on the other hand is great! I’ve been coming here for over 7 years. I have a standing Sunday appointment with my little sister (when I’m in town). I highly recommend!!! I want to give a special shoutout to Joshie & Ell who make the experience even better by being awesome baristas.“

“I went here during a visit to NYC with my husband, & as we were walking to centra park, stumbled upon this unique coffee experience. We both got lattes that were perfect, & delicious. I also got a pound of beans (highly recommend, brews great for all things coffee). I have been wishing I could visit here every morning, & look forward to having % Arabica on my list to visit.“

“Ariana taught a class at my house with my fiancé and I. She taught two recipes and was more than friendly. She gave us a personalized recipe, extra items to cook with later, and two tasty desserts! She was very professional and brought items already prepared. I highly recommend not only her pastries, but her classes are so fun & welcoming too. Thank you Chef Ariana!“

“Yes, they've redefined coffee for us all. But that's not all... Their chocolate chip cookies are out of this world! Not kidding, I would go to them even if all they sold were those cookies. Plus, the owner/workers there are so nice and friendly ?“
