Everything is soo good. Matcha and black sesame are not too sweet and I like it because it retains the original taste instead of being bitterly sweet!!!
An exceptional, multi roaster, coffee shop with a rotating group of micro roasters. They even had Tanat!
We had a cortado, a flat white, and a drip - all 3 were exceptional.
They use minor figures so it doesn’t dilute the flavor of the espresso. The espresso shot was perfectly pulled.
The drip had a fruity and floral taste, which was a welcome change from the traditional medium/dark chocolate roast.
They also carry a wonderful array of coffees...read full review

Nako, a charming cafe nestled in the heart of Brooklyn Heights, has captured the attention of locals and visitors alike. The cafe boasts a limited but delectable selection of pastries, with the matcha loaf being a standout, though some found it a bit too sweet. The service, while not the fastest, is complemented by a cozy and inviting ambiance, making it a popular spot for coffee enthusiasts.
The menu offers a variety of delightful options, including the acclaimed cappuccino, iced Nako latte, and olive oil cake, all praised for their exceptional taste. The staff is consistently friendly and welcoming, contributing to the overall pleasant atmosphere.
While the "specialty Nako chai latte" received mixed reviews, with some finding it overly sweet, the cafe's other coffee offerings have been highly praised. The pour-overs and featured espressos are expertly crafted, showcasing the baristas' skills. The one-in-one option, which allows customers to sample the featured espresso with and without milk, is a unique touch.
Nako's location is also a highlight, with a tranquil park visible from the back window and the cafe situated on a beautiful, historic block. The overall presentation and atmosphere of the cafe have been described as exceptional, with the owner's wife's handmade mugs and free stickers adding to the charming experience.
