A gem among the sea of goofy overpriced millennial minimalist core coffee shops in the neighborhood. Coffee is good and not re-examine your economic solvency expensive, but still Park Slope prices obviously. It’s laptop friendly and there’s plenty of seating but also a nice place to meet friends (you won’t feel like you’re breaking the silence by speaking, the way you do in some cafes). Nice place. Nice nice place.
This morning I paid the same price as always for a small black coffee at Velvette, but it was served in a significantly smaller to-go cup. “They’re new,” I was told. The cup was doubled up, because the sleeves were too big for the new cups, which made the cap loose, and coffee dripped repeatedly on my shirt while I walked to work. I threw my punch card in the garbage when I got to my office.
Honestly, I don't know how many stars to put. The interior is clean and beautiful. The experience with the barista was great and their signature coffee (the velvette) is delicious! But when I got home, I found mold in the pistachio cake
