“Stopped by on a lazy Sunday afternoon and ended up enjoying one of the most comforting meals I’ve had in a while. The tortilla soup completely stole the show — rich, flavorful, perfectly thick, and packed with crispy blue corn tortilla pieces in every bite. Honestly wished they had a bigger bowl because it disappeared fast.

Tried the bean & epazote tetelas on the side and they paired so well with the soup. Also shared the black bean avocado tlayudita and chilaquiles — both fresh, satisfying, and full of flavor. The chilaquiles do get a bit pricey once you add the extras, but the taste made it worth it for us.

Came around 2 PM on a Sunday and still found outdoor seating easily, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and unhurried. Great food, warm atmosphere, and one of those places you leave already thinking about coming back to.“

“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.“

“best truffle fries and yummy sauces for the burgers. Great people i will come back to this place with more friends“

“Food was good and friendly customer service. I will recommend everyone this place.“

“The best Algerian restaurant in NYC, no doubt 🥰“

“Great food and customer service. Try their breakfast sandwiches. The brioche is amazing!“

“This is a 10/10 breakfast spot. I’ve never had Nepalese food before, and Cafe Catmandoo blew me away. I had the Catmandoo Breakfast special and I’m not usually a fan of chickpeas but I ate the ENTIRE thing. Staff is very friendly, they accommodated our large party of 9 people within 10-15 minutes. This is a must try!!!“

“A wonderful bakeshop in the neighborhood! Such a gem! I love their selections of cakes and pies! My favorite is the chicken pie and banana pudding. Mary also makes the best chocolate cake and chocolate mousse. Everyone there is friendly and treats you like a family.“

“Their chicken karaage bento box was filling and delicious. The garden was a relaxing area to eat.
9/13 Went back today and I ordered the Chicken Nanban Bento Box. The chicken was crispy and flavorful, with a nice sweet and sour sauce. The egg tartar sauce on top was also delicious and paired really well with the chicken. Overall, it was another delicious meal!“

“The Kala tea was soooo good.
Drip coffee and croissant were great too. The crew were great.... and correcting us nicely when we moved the stools to the waiting area. 😁

Just wishing the space is bigger.“

“Delicious no words to describe the authentic taste of the food
The best place to go for coffee and breakfast in the area and Brooklyn for far
I always try something new and it’s just so special
Staff is the best great hospitality and all the items they have for specials they are delicious!“

“The food was good. I had a E-Classic“

“I dream about this place!!! I love the Breakfast special( literally if you don’t get this sandwich what are you doing???), the manager/owner is so so kind and welcoming, I always feel like family when I’m here. I love this place and when I come back to New York this is definitely on the need to visit list.“

“Absolutely fantastic dining experience at Da Adriano! The food was fresh, authentic, and full of incredible flavor. Every dish was beautifully prepared, and the quality really stood out. The staff were warm, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Cozy atmosphere, excellent service, and delicious Italian cuisine—I can't wait to come back. Highly recommend!“

“Kind staff, good selection of drinks and food is great. Definitely worth sitting in store for the atmosphere, small, quiet and comfy. Recommended for small groups or to sit and do some work on your computer. Usually not so busy, the wait for food can be 15-20 mins +“

“The coffee was absolutely delicious, and the macarons were SO adorable I almost didn’t want to eat them! The shop itself is beautiful—so cozy, intimate, and peaceful. It genuinely feels like a little getaway from the city where you can slow down and relax for a while. The owner is also wonderful and makes the space feel even more welcoming. Such a hidden gem. I’ll definitely be coming back to try the food! 🤍“

“Miss Barbs is a Crown Heights establishment of the highest degree.

Their coffee and pastries are my favorites in the area, and it's a great space to hang out or work.

All the staff is super friendly and the owners are just the best.

My favorite thing about Miss Barbs is how integrated they are with the community. They run events all the time, and they're all super fun, like the spelling bee or the trash pick-up days or the little markets.

They've also got great vibes at night and it's an awesome place to get a glass of wine or two. Karaoke is my favorite thing ever and sometimes they've got a karaoke night. You can check their insta for the calendar of events.

Miss Barbs has provided me with the best customer experience I've ever had, and I'm super lucky to live nearby!“

“Came in on a Sunday afternoon and had a pleasant experience. They have fast, free wifi and reasonable drink prices. I opted for the iced matcha latte (per usual), and they sweetened it with honey for free which was nice. The matcha was very smooth and yummy.

I felt so bad because I spilled my drink when moving seats to get closer to an outlet, and there was still at least half of the drink left. They kindly cleaned up the mess and even made me another drink, despite me insisting it was okay. Really appreciated it :)

Solid spot to work from home, as there were several others also on their computers. I also really appreciate that they don’t have a laptop weekend policy, which is pretty rare! Definitely would come back to support“

“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.“

“I love this place! The owner and staff are super friendly, and the menu is fairly priced and thoughtfully curated. It’s very difficult to find good vegan soft serve in NYC and their homemade recipe is delish! Excellent matcha affogato too.“

“The service is wonderful! At the same time, the atmosphere inside and outside the store while enjoying your coffee or crepe is relaxing. A great getaway from our daily routine.“

“Awesome design! Friendly atmosphere! BUREKASIM!“

“This halloumi BLT is fantastic. Look at those layers. I'm particularly obsessed with the yellow cheese in addition to the halloumi. Divine!

For coffee, I got a spanish latte. It's good! The ferrero rocher latte visits me in my dreams. I don't have enough of a sweet tooth to order it, even when I crave it!“

“Espresso drinks > drip coffee. As good as it gets in the area - minus the specialty places with third wave beans.

Great breakfast sandwiches — always piping hot, straight off the grill. Highly recommend - this is a local favorite for a reason.“

“Pass by this place on the way often to Astoria Park and so glad I finally stopped in. Got the Moroccan Tagine Special of the day Veal Meatballs w Rice. She recommends to sit down and eat. Phenomenal flavor savory, sweet, super tender meatballs. A must try!“

“This restaurant was amazing! The person working there was very kind and answered my questions in a way I understood. I got my latte. It was made in a quick fashion. There were nice, clean tables to sit in to enjoy my latte. I highly recommend this location“

“The best in the neighborhood!“

“Amazing food! Highly recommended! One of the best food menus in the neighborhood!“

“This place is the best. Like literally the platonic ideal of a neighborhood cafe. Spacious: check. Great music: check. Tons of outlets: check. Open late (for a cafe): check. Open seven days a week: check. Great decor: check. Friendly staff: check. Give me a box and I promise you it's checked.“

“Excellent food and lovely people!!! Recommended 100%“

“excellent et frais 🤩 je recommande !“

“Super small place so it’s usually impossible to get a seat. But the drinks and food are DELICIOUS every time. Absolutely insane how flavorful everything is. You have to get the lumberjack platter, cardamom latte, and the firni donut

It’s really that good!! one of my favorites in nyc 😍“

“super charming little cafe with great coffee and really nice vibes. plants everywhere and people are super nice. i’d like to come back for the matcha. get beans to take home. the whole spot feels cozy, perfect for hanging out or grabbing a cup and just enjoying the mood if you can get a seat - not much seating but nice to hang out. would go again for sure, such a gem.“

“The food was absolutely delicious, and the overall experience was amazing. The owner is incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes the atmosphere even more enjoyable. Every dish we tried was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. We’re so glad we didn’t miss the chance to visit this café. If you're in the area, be sure to stop by and try everything—you won't be disappointed!“

“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,“

“Met up with a friend here to catch up, and it was a solid spot for an easy weekend bite. I grabbed their iced cold matcha alongside the double sausage sandwich with everything on it, and honestly, both delivered. The sandwich is hearty, flavorful, and seriously filling—one serving is more than enough to keep you fueled. The front area runs a bit tight, but there are a few tables tucked in the back where you can sit down and take your time. Top it off with warm, accommodating staff, and it’s an easy neighborhood cafe to keep in rotation.“

“Amazing coffee and a great vibe! Every cup is full of flavor, and you can tell they use high-quality beans. The service was quick and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back whenever I’m in the area.“

“I love dilly dally!!! The name really embodies the experience: you don't want to leave. I have been many times, and the food is always high quality and delicious. The aesthetic and the staff make you feel at home there. I recently spent many hours there working during the day. There was wifi and many outlets available. I got the breakfast burrito, which was incredible, and sustained me to do hours of work. If you haven't been, you are missing out!“

“We ate everything so fast that we forgot to take pictures, but here is half of our Juice. I ordered the avocado toast with egg and cheese and to say that sounds like OK yeah whatever, however, at the proprietors recommendation, I got that and so began my ascent into culinary Shangri-La! I also ordered the Indian scrambled eggs and had her add a little curry to it as well, and I say this next thing as a lifelong breakfast chef:
These were the best scrambled eggs I have ever put in my face! I could have continued to eat them until I was in pain and then I would still be sad to stop! However, the portion was perfect for me and my ever grazing fiancé! We also got two of the fresh juices, the anti-inflammatory and the veggie lovers and these were also next level delicious very large and everything was completely reasonably priced. I want to try out as many places as I can while I’m in New York briefly, but we’re gonna eat breakfast here again tomorrow! This is just too good!“

“ottimo accogliente davvero speciale. consigliatissimo!“

“This place is awesome. The omelette croissant sandwich is the best and the service is even better. Garvin's energy is truly magnetic - he cares so much about his customers, their experience, and the energy the place brings. We love it here and are so happy it's in the neighborhood!!!“

“Great service, delicious iced coffee and matcha latte!“

“good food the most amazing jerk chicken and the best drinks“

“I decided to treat myself to brunch at Nourish and it was a pleasant experience. The bartender, Francisco I believe his name is explained to me he usually does dinner but ensured I had exceptional service. The food was flavorful and the restaurant gave a serene type of vibe.“

“When I asked for a refill on my iced coffee they said, “of course! I feed my customers like my family.”

The burger was perfection. I don’t remember getting such genuinely incredible customer service and it was the first time I visited. Love the community in this area.

When I googled “cafe” in the neighborhood, this place came up. Absolutely worth coming here.“

“Best Marathon Station EVER!!!“
