Nicholas DoyleApril 11, 2013Great Outdoor Space and a balanced menu of coffee, pastry, sandwiches and beer make this a great any-time-of-day spot. Comfortable benches and laptop friendly atmosphere make for great meeting space.Upvoted 1 day ago
Alex PyatetskyAugust 25, 2016Lovely coffee shop to work from during the day. Not too loud. Has nitro cold brew. Lots of outlets and reliable wifi. Nice backyard patio if you need a change of scenery.- DoubleDeuceFebruary 25, 2018Lots of laptops and headphones in here, so it's definitely a quieter working space atmosphere. Thoughtful and charming space and design so it feels great inside and out.
Mario PabonFebruary 6, 2017Great coffee and beer selection. Chill spot to get work done. 8/10 on the Vibes Scale™
J BApril 19, 2019This is our go to spot for low key casual drinks. There’s always space and it’s normally not too loud so you can chat. They have a fairly decent cocktail menu and not too expensive.
Jana HarrisonJuly 5, 2017One of my favorite coffee shops in Brooklyn. Nice indoor / outdoor space for computer time, and they have kombucha, beer, and cider on draft.
this place is the chill zone — great natural light and wifi for working, nice staff, good coffee, tasty sandwiches
Phil KatzMarch 27, 2016One of the best spots in the neighborhood- great coffee and beer list, and spacious place to work or talk. And great music selections.
You can add whiskey to your coffee for $3. Tell me that's not the best coffee shop deal around.
No more sriracha egg sandwich, but the breakfast burrito is the cheap and simple take on the classic that makes me think fondly of being hung over in Austin
Great baristas making great coffee next to a great selection of craft beer. The back patio is also a nice place to work in warm weather.
Great place for both a cup of coffee and avocado toast and share a casual beer with a friend.
Sara JordanAugust 17, 2015I think this is a hidden gem. Coffee selection and alcohol. Nice vibe! Good music and fun bartenders. Nice outdoor seating area.
Maple spice latte! Staff is v nice, grab a spot in the back patio on a sunny day!
- Alex PyatetskyAugust 2, 2018In my recent review of neighborhood Nitro, this one’s good. They put it on ice but give you a bigger cup to compensate. A touch more acidic and less chocolatey than Sbx, “better” down to preference.
Sofia UzSeptember 28, 2015Excellent coffee and pastries, bar too, if you feel like a glass if wine with your bagel
Elvis RodricksFebruary 8, 2015Found this a unique spot. Best of both worlds for coffee espressos and alcohol. Spacious, accommodating your own 'work station'.
Malcolm RingJuly 8, 2015Awesome, chill backyard spot. Great coffee and good beer selection with $1 off draft happy hour from 4-7PM.
Off the menu drink: half lemonade half cold brew coffee. Super refreshing.
Great for meetings. In the winter ask for a coffee and order separately a shot and mix as your heart desires
Bond StreetOctober 5, 2016"The staff is super friendly and cool and the music is usually great, it has a real '90s vibe." - Ellen Van Dusen, founder - dusen dusen Read more
Good place to get some work done. Or just have a beer and some good conversation.
That GirlFebruary 15, 2019Good for working, solid coffee and vegan cookies, friendly staff. Skip the vegan sandwich though.
Pretty solid chai lattes but best part is that they are open till 2am most nights! Best place to get work done
Michael ShibaApril 28, 2015It's hard to get good coffee late at night. This place has great coffee and great coffee-based drinks.
Andrew TApril 1, 2016$5 beer and shot all day. HH5-8. $1 off beer/wine. $2 off cocktails and $3 shots. Great vibe and coffee.- great coffee, awesome rotating beer list, and seasonal cocktails. Great neighborhood spot!
İpek A.May 15, 2016Because of they have a backyard which you can smoke at a corner i love this place!- Hard boiled egg, cheddar cheese and sriracha aioli on toasted baguette. One of my favorite takes on a breakfast sandwich.
Decent coffee & pastries, walk by window, and an always full tin of doggie biscuits make this a regular spot for me.
The last remaining semi-comfortable non-snobby coffee shop in the area.
Perfect spot for working at night. Wi-fi, great service, and beer.
Robert WMarch 22, 2015Nice place for late night coffee and Internet. Music can be loud so bring headphones.
SarahJune 19, 2015Good coffee. Cozy atmosphere. The take out window is perfect when you're in a hurry.
Molly DonohueApril 13, 2016Order coffee to stay, sit at the bar and make friends with the lovely baristas.
Love this place. Great tunes great coffee/tea and wifi. Cash only tho.
- Great coffee, beer. And their playlists are the best.
Devon AntonettiMarch 8, 2012Nice staff, good food and drinks, and a good place to relax and get some work done.
Suzy TranMay 16, 2021Can’t tell if I’m weak or if the frozen margarita is that strong. Honestly couldn’t even taste the alcohol but oh boy does it catch up to you.
in a rush? no need to walk in the door with the handy walk-up coffee window.
