“Just the best Caramel Latte with Almond milk! ❤️🙏⚓️“

“Went here to do some work, trying to explore my new neighborhood and felt immediately welcomed. Barista saw that I was looking for a table, noticed it was packed and was ready to accommodate me at the end of the bar by pulling up another chair. That’s customer service especially in the neighborhood? May have just found my new cafe to work from.“

“What a wonderful place! The staff was so fun and the atmosphere extremely warm and inviting. The cappuccino was foamy and so smooth. They were even nice to my service pup and had no issues with us inside. Seems like the perfect place to be a regular. Will be back 110% also the in house baked goods where 🤌<3“

“Incredible local cafe. Great eclectic collection of books, magazines, and records. Staple for daily coffee and matcha. If you like cold brew, you’ll love their rocket fuel. Weekends feature amazing events and pop ups, plus extra specialty pastries. Ambience is equally comfy as it is insanely cool. One of a kind!“

“10/10 would chai tea again 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽“

“I love the cozy, quiet atmosphere! The barista working today, Beyza, was so warm and kind and made me a delicious taro latte. It honestly made my day so much better :) I was able to get a solid amount of work done on my laptop. Would definitely come back again to do work or read a book.“

“Great coffee spot. I'm visiting Briarwood for the first time in a few years and wasn't expecting to find a coffee place here in the first place - awesome!

it's a chill place, great for reading a book or doing some light remote work.“

“my first time here, the food was great and presentation of food is delightful. will definitely go back“

“The brown butter banana latte is good! Everything was combined nicely and the drink itself was perfectly sweet. The banana taste came in more subtly. I felt I initially taste the brown butter before the banana aftertaste comes through. The cafe itself is really cute and there’s some tables for seating. We also tried the carrot cake which was delicious and the cream cheese frosting was great.“

“I have not had the pleasure of dining at Cafe Con Libros. However, this morning I placed a call for help with an order for a particular book and was connected to Sage(sp).
The service was immediately caring, patient, professional and set the bar for what to expect when interacting with a professional.
And while the book was not available at the location, I plan to make it a point to visit Cafe Con Libros based on the lovely and memorable service I received dyeing my call.

To all that have the opportunity to read this review, and you are deciding whether to give this spot a visit, I encourage you to do so.

Thank you, again, Sage and thank you to the team for hiring such great associates to represent your business!

Peace, light, laughter and balance ❤️“

“This cafe is fabulous! Delicious coffee and baked goods, friendly staff, everything you need! The owners are wonderful. I'm in here about five times per week, I love this place!“

“Did know what to expect but everything was absolutely delicious. I got the Baba Bowl and added avocado and the apple bottom drink was yummy!“

“The drinks and ambiance are awesome! The Nutella Latte is the absolute best!“

“Some of my favorite food in Brooklyn for a relaxed vibe yet upscale quality food. Think house-maf fermented salsa, truffle fries, perfectly cooked burger with high quality/well sourced meat, the best (ricotta) pancakes you've ever had, fun cocktails and mocktails too! Everything I've eaten there has been amazing, great for dates, friend meet-ups, showing guests the area, and more! They also have fun cocktails and mocktails and coffee too! LOVE this restaurant.“

“My favorite place to get coffee and a cookie. Very low key and very cute! Pup friendly too. 💞“

“Wonderful staff, great vibes and delicious food all in a cozy and inviting space. Check it out!“

“I have loved Tim Hortons ever since my first cup in Toronto! I had some time to kill waiting for the train and was delighted to see they had a kiosk at the LIRR stop! They just launched their fall pumpkin donut and latte and they were amazzzzzinnnnngggg. Staff was super friendly and served the meal with a smile Shadeek and Adiba were awesome!“

“I was in the mood to try something new when I came across this coffee shop, and I am sooo glad I came here because everything was amazing! I got the Nutella latte and the avocado toast which were both phenomenal. The latte wasn’t bitter at all and had just the right amount of sweetness and creaminess. The avocado
toast had a red chili olive oil combo which was new to me, but it completely elevated the dish and left me pleasantly surprised. The place is very cozy inside with only a couple seats available but they also have some outdoor tables as well. The employees were very friendly and welcoming, and I’m already looking forward to coming back! 10/10 :)“

“Went last night with some friends ! It was the perfect spot… had some great appetizers and amazing drinks. I had the honey dragon margarita and it may have been one of the best drinks I’ve ever had. Highly recommend for a cute date night spot or girls night.“

“Love love love this service! I’ve been so disappointed with grocery stores for the past few years, even organic is tasteless or never reaches ripeness and with a baby, I do not have the time to go to farmers markets. I got my first order delivered today and I was so blown away by the quality and freshness of the produce. I could smell the strawberries almost from the next room, the nectarines were beautifully ripe and full of flavor. The cheese was delicious.

I can’t wait to try everything else I bought! This time was just a test order but I absolutely will be buying all of my produce and dairy from Farm to People from now on. And half of the money goes directly to the farmers?! Seriously, what’s not to love. Finally I can feed my family some REAL, good food.“

“Stopped by OneTwoOne Cafe before our workshop next door at Adanne Bookshop. We were greeted by the sweetest lady and then I look up at the menu and see they have coffee PLUS alcoholic drinks... my type of cafe!

My friend ordered a chocolate chip banana bread loaf and I just grabbed a water. While we waited, we roamed around and noticed the cafe has live music and hosts events. We love a cafe that's involved with the community! If you need to do work, there's free wifi, plugs, and seats. There's also board games.

Would definitely stop by here again!“

“This place is quiet for working and enjoying coffee and chai lattes. After spending the majority of the working week for months here at Olas, the baristas have always been consistently neighborly and friendly. Love the cups made by a local artist as well. ❤️“

“I stopped by just five minutes before closing, but the staff and owner were incredibly welcoming. They even offered me a free drip coffee, which was a really nice gesture. The coffee was excellent, and the shop itself is beautiful and spotless. Great vibe all around!“

“Different, welcoming and quaint.“

“It was a great spot to reunite with friend. Love the graphics on the wall and the atmosphere was very relaxing.“

“The cutest little cafe with the coziest vibes and best matcha I’ve had in a minute. I also tried the pumpkin loaf, which was a bit too dense but had a great flavor.
From what I’ve seen, their coffee looks great too and I’ll definitely be back to try other items. A must visit cafe for Brooklyn locals!
And just fyi, if you’re looking to sit in to eat/work/study, the space looks like it quickly gets crowded so probably go early to get a spot.“

“Best coffee in Flatbush! The espresso and the vibes are special here. Kent the owner will always welcome you with a smile and it’s a great place to grab freshly baked pastries, or empanadas. Perfect for a spot to a relax or bring your laptop to work.“

“Потрясающее место!“

“I enjoyed everything I had, and I was most impressed by the uniqueness of the offerings (though limited). It is worth checking out, although seating options are a little crowded if that matters to you. The cafe overall is very lowkey and no frills.“

“The iced Raices here is sublime. The baristas here take their craft seriously and you can really see them enjoying making every drink. Watching them make the drinks, do latte art, decorating the iced drinks, was inspiring. They are masters of their craft. Not to mention how amazing and sweet everyone is plus the wide open yet minimalist space that takes up this cafe. This is the perfect place to chill, read, or study, while sipping on some of the best drinks in the city. I live far but I will be back“

“Delightful place to stop for afternoon tea. Discovered their Blue Azul Tea and pistachio cream filled Yemini bread puff! Really delicious and comfortable well lit place to enjoy a bite in the neighborhood. If they expand their menu to include vegan sandwiches they will be perfect!“

“It’s the best coffee place on Long Island. The food and service is excellent and Nico’s monthly open mic is a fantastic event for both customers and musicians.“

“I just came from Berlin, Germany and this place would fit right in!! Very unique and cute. Loved it.“

“El café delicioso,un excelente ambiente“

“I used to live near this place and get the crepes all of the time. I am craving the truffle crepe right now so bad and I had to look up the spot to make sure they are still in business and thankfully they are. the truffle mushroom crepe with the spinach is absolutely delicious 💚“

“I haven't had the chance to visit due to personal circumstances, but this is my go-to spot for ordering breakfast. The food is always piping hot and delicious, and the coffee is phenomenal! I don't know what they put in their lattes, but it's easily the best coffee I've had in my life, bar none.“

“I ordered the greek wedding cookies and they were absolutely delicious. Growing up in Astoria, I had access to the best Greek/Mediterranean food, and these surpassed my expectations. I can’t wait to go back and try all the other items offered. Great spot and location.“

“I work in the area and had heard good things about Jessi’s but I honestly don’t carry cash around much. Today I had cash and walked in to get a coffee before work. I saw their specials included an Iced horchata latte and it sounded delicious so i tried it. WOW! Delicious, fantastic, amazing, exhilarating! Forgot to take a picture of it because i was so excited to try it. They also have a lot of breakfast items and treats to choose from. Definitely gave me a reason to carry cash and come back.“

“Great service and mega delicious coffee and pastries 👌 Highly recommendable!“
