“A perfect establishment—solid breakfast food, kind servers, and a vibe that reminds me of going to breakfast with my dad as a kid. Other diners in the city are at least twice as expensive and don’t provide half the warmth or charm of this place. Thank you thank you Mike’s!!!“
“Drawing its roots in the noble tradition of Yemeni coffee, this coffee house first serves fabulous beverages: especially taste the Sanaani, cardamom coffee ($10 for a pot of sharing coffee), or a classic "pour-over" ( $8 for the large model) to appreciate a beautiful expression coming from high-class Arabica coffee beans, processed with respect for the product. The typical pastries, Khaliat Alnahl and Sabaya, or even the coconut Basboassa are really all very tasty. Delicious !“
“We could not be happier with how our event at Farm to People went. The space is cozy and warm, the food was amazing (with lots to choose from) and the staff was incredible. I was able to completely relax and enjoy myself at my event because I knew everything was well taken care of. I have not a single complaint!“
“Iconic Williamsburg brunch with a divine menu. The pancakes were deliciously fluffy study syrup that didn't overpower. Sandwiches looked great too. Quality of food and unbeatable location are the highlights of this venue for me. Excellent coffee.“
“Incredibly delicious coffee. The best cappuccino I've had in the neighborhood. Hamlet is a spacious and industrial-style neighborhood coffee spot. On a weekday, it's full of people on their laptops (which they may want to have better regulation for), but overall there's a lot of space and even more in the warmer months (outdoor backyard). Service is efficient and friendly. I will definitely be back for the coffee. It's hard to find espresso drinks that aren't burned! And Hamlet doesn't disappoint. Highly recommend!“
“Wow! This is a little hidden gem. This is probably the best coffee I've ever had in NYC. Doesn't taste burnt at all like most other places and it has a nutty aftertaste. Really delicious - doesn't even need syrup flavors. The chocolate chip cookie is divine and tastes homemade! I'm so happy I stumbled upon this little hole in the wall. It's tiny inside but there are a few tables / stool seats by the window. It's a great spot to bring a book and people watch. They have a bunch of other pastries that look delicious as well and I'm excited to try them all! This spot is just steps from the L train at Grand St. Don't miss it! Super friendly service, quick, and delicious. What else could you need?“
“We got the pork and shrimp spring rolls, chicken dumplings and the chicken tacos. All items were really tasty. Very quick service. And reasonable prices. Would recommend coming here again if you’re shopping in SoHo and want to eat a nice meal after all the walking. It was easy to get a table on a Friday night too! The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was not bad. Want to come here again and try the banh mi sandwiches next!“
“I visited Hibiscus Cafe less than an hour before closing on a Sunday evening. The café was really busy, and everyone (including myself) was ordering complicated drinks. A few folks ordered things that required ingredients that were out, and something like that could throw anyone off their game at the end of their shift. However, the woman working was handling everything so smoothly and efficiently, and she was just plain awesome. My matcha latte was also delicious! I can’t wait to go back!“
“Solid cafe near Prospect Park. They serve up quality 8.2 coffee and has all the hallmarks of a cafe waving the third wave flag. The pastries on offer are also excellent. It’s a very relaxed vibe here so don’t be in a rush, sit down, chill and enjoy!“
“I just love this place so much. The staff are always so warm and happy. The coffee is great. The croissants are so good. The chocolate croissants actually have gooey chocolate, not an unmelted chocolate log inside. The chocolate chip cookie is the best in the city. Yes. I said it. The other pastries are also great. I will say, the babkas are good but much too sweat for me. I only wish they have a few more seats inside.“
“It’s a great themed cafe, good space and the records and a really nice touch. One of the best atmosphere creators for sure. The coffee was broadly average. I got a 7.8 cortado, it had some flavour and nothing offensive in the beans. Overall, nice place.“
“Good vibe, the Tlalpeno Rojo soup is brilliant. The hot figs are a treat to share. Loco corn is also good. Chicken sandwiches are not their specialty. Delicious volcanic hot sauce. Neat weird variety of hot chocolates you can grab to go for a park stroll on a cold day.“
“Such a lovely space with cool specialty drinks. I got the taro latte and it was a great treat for someone who can’t have caffeine and my husband got the espresso and tonic water drink, so refreshing for warm days. Their croissant is yummy too! Love the music and vibe!“
“This is everything you want in a local brewery. Open, chill interior; beertenders who are friendly and know what they’re pouring; beer, cocktails, snacks, and nonalcoholic options aplenty. *AND* it’s queer, woman, and veteran owned.Also, the Fan Fan Tart Disco deserves to be in a museum. It’s that good.“
“I’ve been here two times and it is my new favorite cafe. Both times I got the tetela de nopales. I’m excited to try everything on the menu, but I liked it so much I couldn’t resist getting it again! Cafe de olla is delicious and their espresso is nice. The staff is the best, the music is great. Coming here puts me in a good mood. Cant recommend more“
“Boris & Horton is an absolute gift to our day every time we visit—a true gem and an easy favorite. Since opening in Williamsburg, the Eloise latte and a treat for my pup have become staples of our little morning routine. The staff’s warm welcome and genuine kindness contribute to a community that is inclusive and filled with pure joy. Thoughtful and creative, Boris & Horton is truly something special. Grateful for the friends and fun memories made over workdays spent here.“
“I would like a backyard like their. So well decorated and amazing atmosphere.Food is amazing delicious and beautiful. My friend ordered and it’s meant for sharing with friends. I love the wings.Service is okie. In the backyard, they don’t really check on you much but it’s okie.Atmosphere is great.“
“The waffle was freshly baked, loved the cinnamon take on the batter too. The pistachio gelato was delicious, very natural and not overly sugary. Such an unexpected find in that neighborhood. Definitely worth to check it out!Parking: Parking will be challenging but there are meters available.“
“Perfect place for morning coffee, right before getting on the R train at Union st.Great coffee, delicious snacks and great service! Very friendly andThe atmosphere was so chill with great decor, and I felt like I was at my friend's house hanging out.My daughter got the hot chocolate and loved it!Highly recommend trying this coffee shop, you will be very happy you did!“
“Wow! Went on a rainy Tuesday early afternoon to the place, and the owner/server was so courteous. I ordered a couple of sandwiches and a pudding bread, and it was amazing. This was so worth the trip. Please pay this little establishment if you're vegan (and even if you're not). You won't be disappointed as the friendly service and quality of food you receive. I'll be back.“
“Cute breakfast spot. Space is small but has a cozy atmosphere. Had one of the omlette dishes and french toast - tasty and good value. Matcha latte wasn't great, very milky and not mixed particularily well. It was pretty awkward in the indoor sit-down section because there wasn't any background music playing. Next time I'd probably just order to go.“
“We found you on our trip to Brooklyn in March and we are still dreaming about the amazing turmeric oatmeal breakfast - so great that we walked over the Brooklyn Bridge the following day for another portion! Great service, great staff, we will be back and we will be telling all our friends to come too!“
“This is my families favorite bah mi place in Brooklyn (and we have tried a bunch)! We get the chicken bah mi. All the ingredients are fresh and perfectly seasoned, each bite is so flavorful! The bread is the right balance of crunchy and soft too, which is something I am very picky about. lmpressively, I believe they make their own pate and mayo - which is so delicious!!I also LOVE their andes mint hot chocolate!!Couldn't recommend the place enough - are excited to try more things on the menu!“
“What an amazing place!!! The chef definitely knows how to keep you satisfied. The food was delicious!!! The drinks were fun and tasty. I truly enjoyed the steak and the crab cakes as well as the chicken sandwich. I'm definitely going back.“
“This is the 1st post for Arabica in NYC and it has not lost its allure and the fact that Arabica always choose a historical and chill vibe for its cafe. This looks over the Brooklyn bridge, it’s among tons of awesome heavy hitters restaurants such as Grimaldi, Juliana, Tsuta Ramen (Michelin ⭐️), Brooklyn Ice Cream factory, Shake Shack to name a few so after a good caffeine hit, u can fill up your gastronomy fulfillment. It’s a brief walk to the Brooklyn bridge park ergo Dumbo’s infamous alley lane that stalled traffic and essentially became an unofficial pedestrians lane. So, yea ..come for a coffee and stay for the views that have been romanticized in movies.“
“Wow. I’m impressed. We decided to order from One More Charm on Doordash for the first time after reading the reviews and seeing the photos... and they did not disappoint. Food was delivered hot and fresh, with good ingredients and so much flavor. The chicken Pad Thai had more flavor than several other restaurants in the vicinity, and the Panang Curry had the perfect amount of spice. We will definitely order again, soon ;)“
“It was a wonderful experience , considering it is my first time. We had to wait a few minutes to get our table for 4 but that’s okay! The employees were super nice and went out of their way to pull and extra table for us. I loved the authentic atmosphere. The lighting, decor, and the overall feeling of the restaurant was great! And amazing food. My family loved what we ordered and the matcha cheesecake for dessert was so good! Compliments to the chef! I could definitely see myself coming back here again, whether alone or with family or friends. Well done, Nippon Cha!“
“Cute coffee shop with great coffee, drinks, and snacks!The service is a tad slow, so it’s not the best place to grab the quickest coffee but if you have the time it’s worth the wait. Wish there were places to sit inside but when it’s nice out, chilling outside is great.“
“Okay best smoothie shop ive ever been to! Tried the Smorgasbord (cashews, agave, sea moss!!), and a carrot smoothie! My friend, who's from NY born and raised, added mint and lemon to the carrot mango ginger smoothie and it felt like i was levitating after the first sip! My homegirl got a cute green juice as well...i didnt try it but it was literally gone in 30 seconds. I take that as it was bomb like the rest of the order. So yall this salmon sandwich...it has a sweet sauce on it and my homegirl added the scotch bonnet pepper sauce...the roll was so soft, the greens were crisp and delicious... i honestly am so impressed at how BK takes the simplest things and levels them up with freshness and vibes. What a gem of a spot that will forever be on my BK dining list after a night of drinking and walking these CRAZY New York city blocks which are way different than Orlando city blocks lol this was the rejuvenation we needed. I am revived!“
“Whenever I'm looking for a place to meet with a friend or to treat myself with a fresh cup of coffee and delicious food – "Black milk coffee and Crepe" is the place!I've been coming here since I moved to the neighborhood and I have to admit they stole my heart! Every visit feels special: from kind staff and welcoming atmosphere to creative drinks and outstanding food. The owners also work here, so you can be assured you will get the best treatment!I've tried their sour, as well as sweet, crepes and I loved the variety of them. My favorites are smoked salmon and prosciutto crepes. Always freshly made and mouthwatering! They have a good choice of baked goods and desserts so you'll definitely find something to your liking. I've tried many carrot cakes in my life and can definitely say their cake is the best! Moist and moderately sweet. The coffee is so good, I never leave without a bag to enjoy it at home.The atmosphere is uplifting yet, invites you to get lost in your thoughts. I am looking forward to the warmer days when I can relax in their cozy backyard and enjoy my most favorite breakfast or lunch.“
“I came here with a friend after roaming around the neighborhood while we waited for our table at Evelina. We walked in and immediately were drawn to the great selection of pantry items they had (sucker for colorful labels as well). I’m not a big cook so it kind of inspired me to want to try some recipes just to incorporate some of the items we saw. After looking around for a bit we walked out and decided we definitely wanted to come by another time to check out the sandwiches, well that some time turned into a few hours later when we got hungry again and wrangled our other friend to come to the shop with us.While looking at the menu the guy behind the counter was super nice and asked what we were in the mood for, while we looked over the wide selection of sandwiches he gave me a taste of the buttermilk fried chicken in the Korean sauce they had and WOW it was soooo tasty and juicy. I ended up getting the Korean fried chicken sandwich with coleslaw and pickled onions. My friends both got the friend whiting sandwich and they absolutely loved it.Call us creatures of habits but we ended up going back again the next day to try another sandwich because we were craving it so much! 1 whiting sandwich, 1 shrimp po boy and I got the chicken cutlet with Calabrian chili aioli and wow, someone needs to bottle that chili aioli and sell it!So happy to have such a nice neighborhood spot (just discovered it but I see they’ve been open since 2021) with such amazing customer service and great sandwiches.Can’t wait to go back and try more!“
“This morning's visit to Devoción in Williamsburg was a delightful immersion into the craft of coffee. Opting for one of their signature pour overs, I experienced a single origin coffee from Colombia that truly showcased the richness and depth of flavor that Devoción prides itself on. Devoción's commitment to freshness is evident, as they source their beans directly from Colombia and expedite the process from harvest to cup to maintain peak freshness, a detail that's palpably reflected in each sip.The ambiance at Devoción adds to the overall experience. The space is beautifully designed with natural light streaming through a large skylight, exposed brick walls, and comfortable seating that invites you to linger. While Wi-Fi is available during the week, it's purposefully not offered on weekends, encouraging guests to disconnect and fully immerse themselves in the coffee experience and the serene environment.For anyone passionate about coffee or looking for a high-quality coffee experience, Devoción is a must-visit.“
“Lips Cafe is our go to spot in District 43! Great place for networking, working from home, and the drinks are second to none. We love Lips! Thank you for being such a key stakeholder our community and partner to Assembly Member Brian Cunningham“
“This has easily become my new top coffee spot in the neighborhood. The drinks are amazing and they usually have specials. The coquito with oat milk literally changed my life. They usually have a small array of pastries too, but bevvies are definitely their main focus.“
“Have frequented this cafe on numerous occasions:(1) day to day coffee , seasonal lattes and pastries — fresh selection (try the pineapple bun and egg tart), no frills prompt and friendly service with fast WiFi and comfortable seating for remote working(2) jazz night - homey ambiance featuring local musicians with a fun vibe(3) wine / sake tasting - finely curated selection of affordable and approachable organic wines and interesting sake from different Japanese prefecturesExcellent and unique addition to the neighborhood.“
“I ordered latte with oat milk and simple syrup on Uber Eats and omg it was soooo good! I’m very picky when it comes to my coffee, but this method my high expectations! Creamy, perfectly sweet and not too much ice. I wish it was bigger though cuz I couldn’t get enough lol Also, I know they support ? so that’s another A+“
“Run don't walk to get the egg biscuit sandwich! Literally one of the best breakfast sandwiches I ever had. Don't sleep on their coffee either. VERY reasonably priced as well, friendly staff and just a great place to work on your laptop. A gem of a place in Sunset Pk.“
“Friendly, cozy, comfy seating, and bright, this is my favorite coffeeshop in the neighborhood. It’s the kind of place where folks say hello & most folks are regulars.Super tasty croissants, made fresh. The rocket fuel is my favorite treat-my-self drink. They make a great americano, too.“
“Got the cauliflower sandwich, the special hot chicken sandwich and the crispy potatoes. They were all really good and delicious. The chicken was crispy (wish it was a tad spicier), the cauliflower sandwich is amazing and my favorite thing from here (as a meat eater), and the crispy potatoes are always just solidly good. The ambiance though was a little chaotic feeling. I felt really claustrophobic in there, as if everyone around me was just a bit too* close together. The table arrangement felt strange. I get wanting to maximize seating but one table was in such a weird tight corner, one by where everyone walked by to the bathroom, and one had a plant where someone would be seated by the window? Also there were several 4-seater tables that just had a single person at them just reading or on their phones with a coffee while groups were waiting. I get that it's seat yourself/first come but it felt really inconsiderate as parties of 3 would awkwardly cram into/sideways into a 2 seater table while that was happening. I wouldn't come back to dine in for sure. But the food is delicious so back to take out exclusively for me.“
“I actually think the pastries are a bit hit and miss, but I’m clearly in the minority on that one. They also rarely heat up any of the display food (quiche, fritata, etc) much above wave-a-candle-in-its-general-direction temperature.BUT, sitting outside or in the backyard with a coffee and sandwich make this place a return spot. The breakfast sandwich is a delicious mess and the bread was phenomenal. Cappuccino was also fantastic (I’ve had much worse at dedicated coffee shops nearby)“
“Great set up and atmosphere. Just a good place to come and spend some time, chill and enjoy the vibes. The coffee is good for the area, not quite up to the third wave coffee scene that can be found in NYC but it is definitely in the right ballpark. The 8.0 cortado was pleasant, flavour was there but the milk work was average at best. Overall, one of the best places to come for the overall experience.“
“Cozy little place. We ordered matcha and macchiato, both were amazing! The baristas were super kind so the place had an overall welcoming and warm vibe. When you plan a visit just keep in mind that there isn’t a lot of seating available inside. The cafe is attached to a home decor studio and a salon which you can access from the inside too.“
“Today I had a life changing cookie. I had the strawberry milk cookie, then immediately texted my husband and called my sister to talk about this amazing cookie. Strawberry is one of my favorite flavors, so maybe I’m biased, but it was the best cookie I’ve had in a really long time. It was soft with crunchy bits on top, and the strawberry flavor popped. I felt like a cartoon character with heart eyes and sparkles coming out of my head with just one bite.The s’mores cookie was also amazing. Both cookies were delicious and also unique. I can’t wait to try the other flavors.“
“We stumbled across Leo when we wanted a chill Italian spot for dinner in Williamsburg. We came at an awkward time (~4:30pm) so we didn't see many people as we walked in. A couple hours in, the music was played a bit loudly so was a little hard to hear sometimes! Still, I would say this is a cute and cozy date spot. We got the clam pie, which is a special. Shared between two, we were satisfied, but would order one more dish in addition, since we were so hungry!“
“It's a beautiful day in Brooklyn NY and I have uncovered another amazing cafe in the beautiful diverse neighborhood of Sunset Park. Liebre Cafe sits cozy on an idyllic tree lined corner of the heart of the neighborhood, steps away from the iconic hilltop of sunset park. Edgy spanish music greets you in this warm, naturally bright space with several different types of seating. A small case of baked goods, some specialty menu items and a medium sized beverage menu calls out your name. Im always wary of ordering my go-to matcha latte when it appears on the "other drinks" menu. As an empanada lover the mushroom spinach empanada was calling out to me. Cashier who is also a barista was super nice and attentive. He warmed the empanada for me, and got me my matcha latte quickly. The matcha was a beautiful green color, the milk frothed nicely with just enough ice. I was very impressed by how well this drink was made. The empanada was also very delicious. It was a baked empanada but the shell was thin and not excessively doughy. The thick chimmichurri style dipping sauce on the side was herby and savory and so so delicious; kind of like a cross between pesto and chimmichurri. I highly recommend asking for this if you're eating an empanada here. Overall I found this establishment cozy and inviting and a great place to relax or get some work done. I will definitely be coming by here again!!“
“Update: went back recently for a date and I have to say it was perfect! They now have wine & cheese board, which was very nice and perfect size for two people. Got my girl some flowers right there! Very nice convenient spot for a date let me tell you))Cool place, good croissants and coffee. Tried chocolate croissant and nutella latte. Really liked both ??“
“This place , service and its menu is unique.The food presentation is beautiful and its taste is amazing. Must try “Berry Street Dream Latte”Their atmosphere and music is very relaxing for the brain.Vegetarian options: ?? Very goodKid-friendliness: ?? Great“
“This cafe was new since we last visited the area, and it's such a great coffee and food stop! They have delicious specialty lattes, typical barista made coffee drinks, and great food (first time trying tempeh bacon and it was delicious!). We'll return often, this is my new go to coffee shop when we visit.“
“While not in a prime location, this little cozy coffee shop is very special. If you are nearby, just go. They are very intentional and detail-oriented for every order. Seasonal, Japanese inspired baked goods and drinks. Line can be long and service can be slow.“

“After a hectic day of exploring, my group of friends and I stumbled upon a charming restaurant with a limited number of seats. The cozy setup felt like a gathering in someone's kitchen, creating an intimate space for our lively group. The kitchen's aromatic symphony and the friendly staff set the stage for an enjoyable evening. Knowing that the ingredients were sourced locally added a layer of appreciation to the culinary experience. It was a delightful find that turned a casual dinner into a memorable, homey affair.“
