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. ❤️“

“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!!!!“

“Went here to do some work, trying to explore my new neighborhood and felt immediately welcomed. Barista saw that I was looking for a table, noticed it was packed and was ready to accommodate me at the end of the bar by pulling up another chair. That’s customer service especially in the neighborhood? May have just found my new cafe to work from.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I've been going here for years & it is so sweet--staff are always so nice & helpful, the coffee & pastries are great, and they do so much for the community its been amazing to see them grow. I usually sit in with a friend & it's my favorite part of the morning <3“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“10/10 would chai tea again 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽“

“Community, coffee, bikes, queers“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“I love the cozy, quiet atmosphere! The barista working today, Beyza, was so warm and kind and made me a delicious taro latte. It honestly made my day so much better :) I was able to get a solid amount of work done on my laptop. Would definitely come back again to do work or read a book.“

“I made sure to ask for this baristas name because she did an amazing job serving me coffee. Samara even educated me on how the beans were from their farms in maricao. She was very friendly and even made me laugh. I’ll be sure to come back here again just because of her.“

“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!“

“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“

“Bro They Created Like The Best Matcha I’ve Ever Had In My Life 😭 If yall come here. PISTACHIO Matcha Iced w Oat Milk. That shit is crazy. Life changing, It was so good I had to walk in and ask the manager the recipe for this. But I recommend anybody to try this if you trying to get into matcha“

“Cuppa is wonderful refuge. The cafe is clean and relaxing, offering a variety of seating whether you’re looking to relax or you’ve come to work. WiFi is very reliable. The baristas are friendly, polite and skilled. I love the drinks and the food! Many of the patrons are familiar because many are regulars. Definitely a testament for their feelings about the place.“

“Un pequeño sitio con mucho encanto!!! El café es de verdad! El mejor de todo Brooklyn :) comida real y muy rica, hecha con mucho mimo. La atención inmejorable!“

“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.“

With its perfect coffee and friendly baristas, it’s become an essential part of my mornings.
I definitely recommend it to everyone!“

“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 😂“

“Very nice coffee shop! I was there during the storm so our options were limited for food, but the menu looked appetizing and the drinks were tasty. The tapioca was fresh, the straws nice and colorful, and the service was friendly. I loved the couches in the back. I would highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Been coming to No Filter Coffee for a few weeks now and it’s been a game changer. Delicious coffee brewed with expertise, lots of seating to work or hang, and great conversations with the owner and baristas. Def recommend if you’re looking for a new go to place in South Slope.“

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

“Delightful space just off 5th Avenue, outstanding drip coffee, warm and cozy, leather sofa and comfortable seating, friendly proprietor and staff, good pastries and super tasty meat and cheese crepes. Outdoor seating is southern-facing but with a full canopy for shade in the hot weather.“

“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 ?“

“Delectable coffee and cardamom buns with a perfect view of the Brooklyn Bridge!! Clearly very popular with lots of customers, but line moved quickly and there was plenty of seating. Luxurious heated washlet in the bathroom too. Highly recommended!!“
