50 Best Coffee Shops in Brooklyn

“😊 An excellent taste 🙏🙂🍀👍“

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

“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!!!!“

“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. ❤️“

“What an amazing specialty coffee shop here in Brooklyn. The cortado was delicious and I also got a hot chocolate for the kids. The staff were so friendly and kind. The service was extremely fast. They also were generous and gave me some extra cups to give out the hot chocolate to my kids in different cups. There is some space to sit and work or meet but the place was already pretty packed back late morning. I’d highly recommend coming here if you like good espresso and specialty coffee“

“Such a gem! Their espresso is delicious and the hibiscus soft serve is a uniquely refreshing and delectable treat. Everything is fresh and natural (made from scratch, not syrup or junk). Cute, cozy atmosphere with warm, friendly owner and staff.“

“First impression: good coffee, music, and vibes.

It was my first time visiting this coffee shop… and it’s not just any coffee shop! They also sell a wide array of vinyls as well as their own locally roasted coffee beans! It’s also cool that they use the space as an event venue.

The owner was super chill and friendly :) I’d definitely take my friends here and this would’ve been my go-to coffee shop if I lived in the area!“

“great coffee and great cool staff“

“This restaurant is truly one of those gems that you secretly don’t want to share, but know they deserve the shout out! Cozy atmosphere, excellent service, superb menu curated and prepared by a talented and passionate chef! Brooklyn at its Brooklyn best! A must try kind of place!“

“The staff here are always super friendly, no matter what time of day you stop by, which definitely adds to the experience. However, it is on the pricier side compared to other local coffee spots like Variety. I paid $18 for a bacon (Canadian ham), egg, and cheese on focaccia. It was tasty, but honestly, not quite worth the price. The space is very small and can be uncomfortable waiting for food/drinks when there is more than three people inside.“

“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“

“Mikes has been a staple in the community for almost 40 years i remember bringing my kid to have breakfast on Saturday mornings before her activities it was cheap and cheerful Pratt students and faculty would be there as well. Now its practically same staff bathroom remodeled and costs have increased but so as everuthing else same friendly and fulfilling breakfast no bells and whistles but simple good food“

“Delicious no words to describe the authentic taste of the food
The best place to go for coffee and breakfast in the area and Brooklyn for far
I always try something new and it’s just so special
Staff is the best great hospitality“

“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.“

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

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

“Community, coffee, bikes, queers“

“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.“

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

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

“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“

“if you thought the milk tea here was good (no like seriously) wait til you try the COFFEE! it is my favorite hands down to the grown and if you haven't tried it then... wyd ? like get up and go make your life a little brighter and thank me later ;) oh and not to mention the food selection is so damn wide it's amazing. I could have breakfast lunch and dinner here easily. 10/10 love the place :)“

“The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfectly lit to create a cozy and intimate experience. The establishment successfully balances natural style with sophistication, making it an excellent spot for everything from a casual meet-up to a special occasion. Everything feels fresh, clean, and meticulously cared for, reflecting a high standard of quality and attention to detail.“

“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.“

“Small café, but very bright, clean, and airy. There was was a small loveseat, a couple barstools, one or two cafe tables with 2 seats, a bench with a cushion and 3 café tables out on the sidewalk. Came in about 1:30pm, and were greeted warmly. Almost all of the pastries were gone, but the cheese with fig danish and the plain croissant they had left were good. We also tried the matcha lemonade, strawberry matcha and a hot black sesame latte. I liked the sesame latte A LOT, the strawberry was good, and I personally hated the lemonade, but that is a personal preference thing. The good thing about it is it isn't too sweet, but it was heavy on the matcha, so it tasted like liquid grass to me. I definitely like nuttier sencha tea better. The prices were average for the area, and since everything is pricey now, it is what it is.

There were other patrons there, busily working and looked like they had been there for quite a while, which tells me it may be a good place to sit and focus for an hour or two.

My party of three sat outside and because it is located in a predominantly residential area, it was a nice place to sit since there aren't tons of pedestrians. There were a few bees/wasps though, so we had to leave after a bit(highly allergic). There were also mosquitos and lantern bugs around--I suspect there is some standing water on a roof nearby.

I will definitely walk over here again to get that sesame latte, and maybe stay and pretend looking productive. But I'll definitely come back.“

“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“

“Little cafe but the brand and logo design are really cute and stylish. Nice to stop by a little bit since not a lot of seats.

Cappuccino was a classic. The flavor was in between bitter and light. The foamed milk was not creamy or smooth enough.

Vegetarian options: Plant-based milk“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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!“

“I have not had the pleasure of dining at Cafe Con Libros. However, this morning I placed a call for help with an order for a particular book and was connected to Sage(sp).
The service was immediately caring, patient, professional and set the bar for what to expect when interacting with a professional.
And while the book was not available at the location, I plan to make it a point to visit Cafe Con Libros based on the lovely and memorable service I received dyeing my call.

To all that have the opportunity to read this review, and you are deciding whether to give this spot a visit, I encourage you to do so.

Thank you, again, Sage and thank you to the team for hiring such great associates to represent your business!

Peace, light, laughter and balance ❤️“

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

“Lovely place with great food. I had the bacon cheeseburger and it was cooked perfectly.

The service was great too. They are very friendly and attentive to their customers. Food was gone before I realized I should take a picture“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“My boyfriend and I had intended to make ourselves coffee every morning — that was until we discovered Okka.

Okka coffee is the best way to start my day — their iced lattes with oat milk are truly out of this world. They also have delicious pastries and Turkish bagels if you’re looking for a treat.

The best part of Okka, though, are its owners: Onur and his wife, Sefa! They are so kind and brighten my day every morning. Sefa also makes beautiful bracelets that, since purchase, I’ve never taken off.

Thank you, Onur and Sefa, for welcoming Troy and me into the neighborhood — we’re so lucky to have such a wonderful coffee spot so close by!“

“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!!“

“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!“

“A beautiful coffee shop Pueblo Querido coffee roasters @pqcoffee in Williamsburg Brooklyn NY, serves Colombian coffee and has a very Colombian vibe and decor. Plenty of seating in a delightful space. Great service too. They had delicious looking empanadas.“

“***Check out the Bathroom Peeper Hole. You won’t be disappointed***

Delicious coffee, amazing atmosphere, friendly staff, and comfortable seating. This is one of the best coffee shops I have ever been in. They even have free water and sparking seltzers on tap. Definitely give this place a visit.“

“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 ?“

“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.“

“Happy Halloween! My dog and I just stopped by this new cafe and fell in love!! Did you know Art Collective Cafe is dog-friendly, serves delicious coffee with a big smile and features AMAZING pastries by a Food Network award winning pastry chef? Maria invited us in with a jar of doggy treats, served up a perfect latte and I got to meet their famous pastry chef Alexey Ivanov. Ask him to show you some of their custom pastries and don't forget to check out the art collection! Love love love!“

“My favorite place to get coffee and a cookie. Very low key and very cute! Pup friendly too. 💞“
