50 Best Coffee Shops in Brooklyn

“😊 An excellent taste 🙏🙂🍀👍“

“Delicious Diner.

Exactly what you expect when you picture a diner. No frills, cheap, and exceptionally average food. It gets the job done, with the kind of gritty atmosphere you’d expect from a place that’s been serving neighborhood regulars for years.

I had the cheeseburger, while the person next to me was chowing down on chicken parm and spaghetti. The cheeseburger tasted like it came straight out of the freezer. It reminded me of the kind I used to get at the bowling alley as a kid.

10/10 recommend. Will return.“

“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.“

“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. ❤️“

“It was my first time having a Mexican for breakfast and the burrito was surprisingly good! I had the hongos which had a great combination of mushrooms, eggs, black beans and more. The burrito was warm and the outer layer of the tortilla was lightly toasted. The service can be slow but it is not a big issue as long as you are not in a rush or arriving on an empty stomach.“

“This place is the best! Good coffee with delectable and generously-sized baked goods! Both babkas are delicious but I prefer the Nutella. The cinnamon buns are massive and cookies are amazing when they’re fresh. Also fun finds and knick knacks to browse while you wait. Love it here!“

“I love their smoothies. I have been coming here a couple years and it is pretty consistent recipes no matter who is preparing it. The service is also consistent. They are very pleasant about tailoring ingredients to your liking. My favorite is the clean skin,“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“My first trip to Brooklyn, and subsequently, my first trip to Five Leaves. Had a great experience. Everyone was attentive and wonderful. Melissa has a lovely personality -- five stars! The food was fantastic. Didn't think I'd rave about a grilled chicken sandwich, but it was that damn good. If I lived in the area, I'd frequent this spot. Thanks for a great meal on a beautiful day!“

“We had my daughter’s shower here. From the moment we decided on this lovely place until the moment we left it was an absolute pleasure. The nicest people and Alex did a wonderful job making everything we needed available. He was so nice everyone said how nice he was and I have to say dealing with James with an absolute pleasure as well. He helped us with all the questions that we had. And was so patient. I would highly recommend if you deciding on a place this is it. Thank you all so much for making this day for my daughter’s and I.“

“Truly the best high quality coffee shop in the neighborhood and personally my favorite in the whole city (very high bar!).
In the city full of world class roasters (Sey, La Cabra, Canyon, etc.) I find Ben’s bean selection more interesting than most of the above. And what’s even more important, shots are consistently perfectly dialed in and exceptionally well served.
Vibes are also great!“

“10/10 would chai tea again 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽“

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

“After a year of living around the corner I popped in on a hunt for The City We Became by N.K. Jemisin. Cute, cozy, and Mikita was so kind! She helped me order a copy of the book when it was out of stock and I can’t wait to not only go back to pick it up, but browse and sip more regularly here :)“

“This place is pretentious enough that I honestly couldn't tell if the decor in the bathroom was intentional or a mistake. The coffee is very good, the vegan sandwiches are ok but not worth $12+. I don't know how any one affords to live around here when two coffees and a sandwich plus tip are almost $40“

“I’ve only ever had the strawberry matcha here, as I can never get my hands on any food items because they always sell out. I rock with them heavy though and I love what they stand for. It’s that type of place where you’re happy and excited to give them your money, y’know? I hope they continue to flourish 🌹“

“The most amazing Piadina & Frittata in Brooklyn N.Y.“

“Love Farm to People so much! I just started a month ago and have gotten several deliveries since. Always such fresh fruit and produce, something I can't get in the grocery stores near me. They have an excellent selection of pantry goods too. I like their prepared dishes and plan on trying more this week.

Customer service has always been so responsive and I've had addresses changed, items changed, etc., just from texting them like I would with a friend. Super happy that I gave this service a try.“

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

“Had a fantastic time finally getting to check out the place. Was very fortunate with meeting Norberto as well. Getting to talk to him more about his shop and the coffee he sells. Looking real forward to coming back again! If you haven’t had the chance to go. I would highly recommend giving it a shot!“

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

“It was Super good. everything was perfect. Will come here again. 😁🥳“

“I get the hype, I really do. Stepped into land to sea on a bustling Sunday morning and it did not disappoint.

I got the salted honey latte and the ham & cheese bolo bao with chili oil. FIREEE. Lines form but they move quick and I was able to find seating fairly easily since I went solo.“

“excellent et frais 🤩 je recommande !“

“got the dan dan noodles with poached egg add-on. my understanding of food before and after this dish is not the same. indescribably delicious. life altering. highly recommend

ginger sparkling lemonade was also 💯“

Oatmeal Raisin Cookie: B
- I like the thin cookie texture.
- low amount of raisins.
- not super sweet.
- has that nice browned butter/molasses flavor.“

“I recently ate at Mr. Banh Mi in Bensonhurst and was pleasantly surprised! I ordered the wonton-covered quail eggs, bulgogi fries, and spring rolls, and everything was good. The only downside for me was the bulgogi fries. They were a little too saturated, which caused them to lose their crispiness. Other than that, I enjoyed my meal!

The service was amazing, and the prices were reasonable, which made the experience even better. I will definitely be going back to try more of their menu.

If you're in Bensonhurst, I recommend giving Mr. Banh Mi a try. I think this place is a little hidden gem in the neighborhood that's worth checking out!“

“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!“

“Clean beautiful classically bistroette! Really worth it. Great food and service!“

“Came here specifically to get a bag of beans and a couple of caffeinated beverages to go. Seating is limited to table service. Other than that it’s a pleasurable experience. Service is very attentive. Finished on my way to the Brooklyn Museum.“

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

“Blank Street Flatbush is so a lovely place. Small , quaint and the friendliest most helpful staff. Every staff member I’ve encountered has been informative & kind. Im new to matcha drinks and Jade has walked me through deciding even if there was line! I’ve even downloaded the app because of Jade lol ! Arthur and Claire are phenomenal as well. They bring joy to the shop and my experience.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Fantastic Food with both traditional and original Vietnamese dishes!!! Cash only but worth the visit every time!“

“Absolutely loved my first visit! The coffee and lemonade were both 10/10. Arshan what a guy is a true professional - he helped me choose from their extensive menu and hit the nail right on the head with his recommendation. Excellent service and great vibes. Highly recommend!“

“Enso has the best coffee in the neighborhood and probably some of the best in NYC! Their speciality coffees are unreal -- I got the cold brew cloud and an orange spice latte. The cafe space is beautifully decorated and has wifi if you need a space for working/writing. The baristas were incredible and seemed very knowledgable about the craft of coffee and tea.“

“I love this place, it’s so delicious and the staff is so nice! I just wish my coffee orders here would be a little more consistent. Here is a photo of two vanillas cortados (same order) ordered at the exact same time, drastically different taste and milk to shot ratio.“

“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 ?“
