This place understands what makes meals memorable. The prices are right for the good food served. The workers offered timely attention with respectful and helpful attitudes. Their meals preserve authentic flavor profiles. REALLY SUPERB.

To make a long story short, I’ve been coming here a while and I always buy stuff and I always buy stuff at the bagel place at the owner Has right next-door.
I come in here like I usually do and I just sit down on my phone. Why did the lady asked me three times while I was coming out of the bathroom. Once while I was sitting like came up leaned over the table. Listen, I totally get when people have policies where they have to buy stuff in order to share the space but I’ve been here before like several times like and it’s not that deep to get that passive aggressive with somebody. Ive been here mutiple times is very awkward and confrontational for no reason and really embarrassing to shout the across the cafe.
If I was some homeless or a new person I get it. Please by all means tell people directly that we cant have people here unless they are not buying.

This review is about sustainability!
I really appreciate that you offer real mugs, plates, and glassware to your customers.
By 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. And over 95% of the plastic that we produce and consume, does not actually get recycled, but rather ends up in landfills, incinerators, and in our waterways.
It means a lot to me as a customer to support businesses that are mindful of the fact that Brooklyn is a waterfront community. So I am grateful for the more sustainable option!
I do wonder if it could be communicated a bit more clearly to those eating in house, perhaps by asking explicitly at the register if they will be staying for their beverage. Just a thought! And could help folks realize that they have this awesome choice to be better to the planet.
Thank you for your consideration, and thank you for the delicious cappuccino! I will definitely be back.

Average food with gruff service at eye-watering prices. Only came here because desperate to get shelter from the rain. Coffee nothing to write home about.

Cool place to get coffee and work on your laptop. Food wasn’t great tbh, I ordered some hashbrown and it was burned potato little pieces. Coffee was good tho.

Great spot for breakfast with a wide variety of sandwich options. Perfect place to enjoy a relaxed morning chat with friends. Spacious setting, excellent coffee, and super friendly staff make the experience even better!

Love !!! I haven’t had the pleasure of being able to visit the shop in person, but they have been nothing but sweet, generous, understanding people. I usually order through Uber eats and presentation and taste is definitely there. The Matcha and avocado toast are so gooood. I remember I ordered a pastry from them before but they didn’t have it so they gave me a different one just so that I wouldn’t be empty-handed. I definitely would recommend giving them a try!!
A good coffee place in the street art district. Enjoyable

One of the best coffee shops in my old neighborhood! I was attending nursing school at NYU and the coffee/atmosphere was always a great pick-me-up whenever I had a long clinical day at the hospital. The staff there is amazing with their genuine kindness and I always look forward to visiting whenever I'm strolling around the neighborhood. Much love to you all! <3

Hala is so much more than just a coffee shop! This place is a haven of community here in Bushwick, where the Baristas know your name and there is always a warmth and welcoming atmosphere. This place is literally a home away from home for me here in the neighborhood, and coming here is always a sweet spot in my day! In times of crisis when i need to sit in a comforting place, and on good days too when i just want to enjoy a moment of happiness, it’s just the place to go! The coffee here is sooo delicious! They’re always changing up the seasonal flavor with a homemade invention, and I highly recommend their food as well! It’s not just coffee shop food! It’s a restaurant that i would say is a destination! Personally i love the veggie bowl with grilled chicken added- there is nothing like it!! Do yourself a favor and take some time for yourself, go enjoy a relaxing moment away from the chaos of the city, cozy up at Hala cafe and you’ll see what i mean ;)
