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.“

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

“I stopped at Alita this morning for the BEC on the chorizo and cheddar biscuit. I was expecting something tasty, but I was floored by how incredibly delicious this sandwich was. This was the type of sandwich that I would leave Manhattan for and order again. Simply wonderful. Thank you!“

“This is a great coffee shop with cool vibes, delicious coffee, yummy pastries, plants that bring the shop to life, and interesting art on the walls. 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.“

“great coffee and great cool staff“

“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!“

“Had an amazing first experience at Saint Michel Cafe. So friendly and attentive. Love the set up of the place so nostalgic and welcoming. Had the best strawberry matcha latte and my partner had a dulce de leche hōjicha. We had a great experience overall. Most definitely will return and hang out next time.“

“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.“

“We took our 8, 3, and 1 year old here for breakfast and it was a lovely experience. Our server David was very kind and helpful.

We ordered two kids pancakes and the kids eggs and bacon on toast. The eggs and bacon on toast was so big our two other kids were able to have some!

We split a BK Burrito and the chili eggs. Both were very good but we both agreed the chili eggs were the winner.

Would definitely come again!“

“Mike's Coffee Shop has a quintessential diner feel and you better get there early if you want to snag a booth. They serve up all the classics and none of that $14 pancakes nonsense. I focused in on the Greek Specialties section and ordered a Gyro on Pita for $7.25. It has a good amount of meat, tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and tzatziki on soft pita. I could've used a squeeze of lemon on the side, but otherwise a flawless diner experience.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“10/10 would chai tea again 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“rigtig god mad, og fantastisk service“

“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 ✅“

“Great place, I'll be back😍“

“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.“

“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!“

“excellent et frais 🤩 je recommande !“

“Espresso is so well defined and smooth. Had lovely almost honeyed notes. Really lovely little space with comfortable seating, nice decor, and very kind and prompt service. Milk alternatives include oat, macadamia nut, and almond— I really love the macadamia nut. I would go out of my way to come back here.“

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“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“

“no better location. this place makes dreams come true. i’m being serious. i met the love of my life here. we’ve been together for 45 years now. we have three beautiful children and 5 gorgeous grandchildren. we have one fur baby but want another— does anyone know what dogs work well with other dogs and also low maintenance my husband just had both his hips replaced. Arthur changed my life. his wire framed glasses fit his face gorgeously. i die for his kindness. thank you for EVERYTHING blank street on lafayette.“

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

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

“This place is quiet for working and enjoying coffee and chai lattes. After spending the majority of the working week for months here at Olas, the baristas have always been consistently neighborly and friendly. Love the cups made by a local artist as well. ❤️“

“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. 🤷‍♀️😅“

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

“Really cool cafe! The decor is really cool, loved it a lot. Service was great, everyone is so kind and patient with explaining anything if you have questions. I got the iced banana latte, and it was described to me as a milkshake with coffee - I would totally agree, it was delicious! I definitely recommend this place.“

“The coffee was fresh, rich, and perfectly made, and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made me feel right at home. It’s a great place to relax, work, or catch up with friends. I’ll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommended!“

“Cafe con Libros is a wonderfully appointed bookstore with a purpose! With an extensive selection of authors, this is a place for book, justice, and freedom lovers! As a Panamanian immigrant, I’m proud that this book store is a space created for knowledge, community, safety, and possibilities! Asé 🫶🏾.“

“Thank you so much Cristina! I had accidentally ordered to the wrong location on my lunch break and she was so sweet and helped me troubleshoot. Such a great and hardworking team at this location and such a KIND team too!! Love Williamsburg!“

“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.“
