50 Best Coffee Shops in Brooklyn

“Exceptional eatery! Diner style all the way. Had eggs and corned beef hash with potatoes. Grapefruit juice (tropicana) and took a cinnamon roll with me (the best). Hash was not crispy but LOVELY that way, eggs were done just right, over medium, the heavily buttered rye toast dipped provided excellent yolk dips. Potatoes were abundant, and had morsels of pepper and onion. Ketchup exploded on me a lil..(can't put the bottles in the fridge). However they were attentive and apologetic following the incident.
I made my return for a waffle, the way it had tantalized my nostrils on the previous visit was inspiring of such. Waffle with banana was perfect. Filling, fluffy, crispy, sweet and savory.
p.s. ask for the salsa verde :)
Thank you for providing a wonderful service. Will be returning as able!“

“😊 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.“

Even if the line is long the employees are very fast and the service is excellent. If you're in the area, stop by. There's indoor and outdoor seating if you don't want to take your order to go. They have different drink specials at different times so there's always something new.“

“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.“

“This is the best coffee shop in the neighborhood. The staff (shout out Elvis) is incredibly kind and make you feel like the only customer they've ever known. He comes to my dog's birthday parties if that tells you anything. The shop is clean yet dog friendly, small but warm and sunny. The food is INCREDIBLE. I could drink a small swimming pool of their lemonade. Just go - get a biscuit. Or a sandwich. Or a banan bread. I could go on and on.“

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

“Bluestone Lane is incredibly clean, and the food came out fresh, perfectly hot, and delicious. Chef Kashaun crushed it—the Sunshine Burrito was amazing, and it paired perfectly with the Aussie Iced Latte. Incredible food and great vibes. I’ll definitely be back!“

“This is a cool spot. Simple but delicious food. Really enjoyed our experience!“

“I have never made a review on anything before, but when I tell you, for this coffee shop, I just HAVE TO. Let’s start with the coffee, AMAZING!!!! I’m really a coffee head and this is my go to spot EVERY SINGLE TIME. The Turkey Cheezzeee and the spinach and feta are my favs but everything else is just as delectable. Now, the service, TOP TIER! The staffs are so welcoming and the shop is just an overall cozy environment. I record this place to any and everyone, I’ll always rave about it.“

“Bingo Thursday’s are so much fun! The host & owner, Jonathan, is so welcoming and amazing at creating a fun atmosphere. The drinks are yummy, the cinnamon roll is pillowy soft and NOT dry, and sometimes there are free shots and candy!“

“Did know what to expect but everything was absolutely delicious. I got the Baba Bowl and added avocado and the apple bottom drink was yummy!“

“I took the cooking class last week, I went solo hoping to learn a few new tricks in the kitchen and maybe meet some new people.

This completely exceeded my expectations. I almost don’t want to leave a review because the next two months are already booked out and I am eager to go again 😉. But Alex deserves all the amazing reviews because, wow, what a special experience.

Go alone, with a partner or friend, or with a group. You can’t go wrong. The food and company was spectacular and worth every penny. The chef/host, Alex, and the staff that support the event are top notch. I felt immediately comfortable and like part of the community. We all stayed chatting at the dinner table until about 10pm because we were having such a lovely time.

Alex, please open up more nights so I can come back more often!!!“

“10/10 would chai tea again 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽“

“Bah Mi done right! Their bread was very fresh and tasty as where all the ingredients inside. I opted for a regular Mr Bah Mi and it was on point. Was a bit pricey but was quality ingredients, fast service and delicious food! When I'm in a mood for another refreshing bah vietnamese sandwich I will definitely be back here! Thank you and keep you the great work!“

“Thank you so much for the welcoming post card & nice shopping bag in my first order.
Everything is gorgeous & delicious.
I even grabbed the plumcot out of the box and ate it before I hiked up to the top floor in my NYC walk-up:)“

“I passed this place for 3 years, assuming that it was just an efficient subway-adjacent spot. I popped in during a frigid December day and was delightfully surprised by the warmth and character of the space and the neighborly interactions between the baristas and customers. The drip coffee was great and the cookies delicious. The small space is a model of efficiency - it was fascinating to watch the three workers negotiate a tiny workspace and a steady crowd with ease. I've added this spot to my rotation of morning coffee spots.“

“Good SERVICE GOOD FOOD 👍 GOOD WAITING TIME I LOVE THE THE PLACE“

“Darling spot in Park Slope. If you are looking for a pick me up in a clean quiet part of town - look no further!

We enjoyed an afternoon treat at Enso - the Shaken Espresso and the iced London Fog (off menu) was perfect. Both were $8 but happy to support local.

Loved the rustic decor - everything was intentional and lovely. They also had robust air conditioning!“

“Great place, I'll be back😍“

“excellent et frais 🤩 je recommande !“

“Went to the brand new Houston location and things are a bit rocky with staffing and supplies but I want to brag on your employee CAMILLA ! We came from NC and after visiting Puerto Rico several times I was so excited for this experience! She was so patient with us! Answered all our questions with a very helpful and cheerful attitude even tho she was drowning in drink orders! With only one other helper, she never showed any frustration and provided excellent above and beyond customer service! The cashier with her was brand new and super sweet as well! Camilla even gave me a hug when we left! She made my whole morning! And gave us the absolute best breakfast recommendation as well! Thank u so much Camilla for your grace and kindness this morning. U had no idea that my Morning started out so crappy, and your sweet personality and loving spirit really turned my day around and the tres leches latte was AMAZING 🙌🏼🩷💯 yall go see them and be patient …..it’s worth the wait ❤️ side note… the whole place is decorated beautifully! Love the swings ✅“

“Such a beautiful place I’ll definitely be returning. The whole cafe/bar is designed so beautifully! I sat at the bar and service was amazing! Food was also great too, but my favorite part was the Joel Viera Quartet, I’ll 100% return to watch some jazz again!“

“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!“

“Very nice location and layout is very welcoming with a lot of outdoor and indoor seating. Quick and friendly staff.

The ricotta starter was amazing with a great balance of flavors.
The Pancakes were beautiful but very dense so didn’t hit the mark for me with the wet gooey texture and large size.
Hash browns were great“

“Sofreh Cafe is exceptional. The space is warm and inviting, the service is attentive, and the food is consistently outstanding. Every dish is full of flavor and clearly made with care and high-quality ingredients. It’s a place that leaves a lasting impression and stands out as one of the best cafes in Brooklyn.“

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

“Really enjoyed my visit here. The coffee was excellent and had a rich, fresh taste that showed they use high quality beans. I grabbed a pastry as well and it was delicious, fresh, and clearly made with care.
The service was friendly, the shop had a great vibe, and everything felt clean and welcoming. It’s easy to see why people keep coming back. If you’re looking for a good coffee spot with great drinks and pastries, this place is definitely worth a visit.“

“It’s probably time I gave this place a proper review, as it holds a special place in my heart. I come here often with my partner, and it’s become a small part of our routine to which I always look forward to.

The coffee, as you can imagine, is excellent. A lot of people rave about the rocket fuel which is great as well, although I prefer it with oat milk over my usual whole.

The real standout is the service at Kaleidoscope. I’m not really one to strike up conversations with anyone, let alone when it’s early and I need to get to work, but the atmosphere here really is amazing. The owner, Adam (I think), has always treated me well and has on multiple occasions thrown in some free goodies for me and my partner. There is another barista there as well, she’s similarly friendly and skilled at what she does.

I guess this was all just to say that I do recommend this place, it was one of the first places I felt welcomed in Greenpoint not just as a customer but as a member of the community.“

“Okka is a lovely neighborhood spot that’s a big part of our community, family-run been here for 5 years and Onur is always so kind as is his wife and the other people who run this coffeeshop. They have outdoor seating too which is rare to find in this area. Quiet corner for daily coffee and baklava. Their croissants and be&c are great too“

“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!“

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