Suggestions for Café near Gowanus, Brooklyn

Peter C. • March 8, 2017Quirky, cozy Japanese-run cafe & event space in converted residential unit seems removed from the noisy traffic on Union St. Get a banana milk coffee and relax into chill vibes on the sound system.

Carol • June 30, 2021Really friendly owner, good coffee, outdoor seating, and tons of indoor seating

Donny T. • September 20, 2012The coffee is STRONG here and owner Martin is friendly. Great little cafe for hanging out.

Kelsey✨ • October 1, 2024yummy gluten-free baked goods! try the banana bread

Megan G. • January 11, 2019I love this cafe and the people who run it.

Judy A. • April 16, 2013Delicious single origin coffee, beautifully designed lattes, friendly staff

Sandy V. • December 24, 2011Lattes might be the best in the slope. Service could be slow at times but worth it for the final product.

Peter C. • January 30, 2023The best shop in a mile radius or so, it’s a throwback in the best way to a time before everything was so contrived. That’s not to say it isn’t professional- this is a top notch multiroaster shop.

Jason • December 30, 2018The coffee is consistent with other Starbucks locations.

Rick N. • May 16, 2019Baklava croissants and the raspberry jam galettes are excellent

AskMen • April 1, 2011A small selection of good whisky, beer and wine, plus coffee and pastry in the morning and sandwiches (grilled cheese, porchetta) for lunch.

Saif A. • February 1, 2014Great of caffeination late into the night, when most other premium coffee shops are long closed.

Brian M. • January 11, 2016Ample seating. Great lattes. (Yes, they have almond milk.)

Emma F. • February 4, 2017Rarely have a chance to go here since their hours are 8-5 M-F, but such a treat when I do. Such a welcoming place, great homecooked food, and the menu changes every day based on what's fresh/in-season

Rick N. • September 24, 2022Beanmonger has a solid selection of savory and sweet baked goods and food options, lots of tasty coffee and tea options, and a cute selection of custom merch!

Lewis S. • May 29, 2013Gets crowded. So if you are hungry go to Cafe first! Good food!

Chao-Wen T. • March 17, 2018Everything (coffee, ambience, service) was great here! Unexpected find at Gowanus!
