Cozy, calming atmosphere for one, two or more. Owner and staff are beyond friendly and have enthusiastically introduced me and my friends to the world of wonderful specialties that remind Georgians of their mom's and grandma's cooking. A large assortment of hot and cold coffee drinks and teas, very tasty soups such as mushroom barley and borsch, sandwiches, savory dumplings and savory as well as desert pastries. A gem. Come and experience it for yourselves! read more

Saw this place as I was walking to a friend house. I knew I had to stop by and check it out. Service was great and the express and pastry was amazing as well read more

Alegrito Espresso Bar - Apple Strudel - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

First of, I wanted to start by saying that the ambiance and music in this place are wonderful- very European, your England meet French type of vibe. Secondly, the decaf cappuccino with almond milk that I ordered was perfection . Lastly the owner and the staff are super friendly and very personable. I will definitely be back here again, especially since I work about 10 min walk away! read more

Stopped in midday on a weekday and had a strange experience. I work as a home-based healthcare provider and commute using the train/bus so occasionally need a place to stop and kill some time/complete treatment notes. I ordered an iced matcha and unexpectedly a croissant due to the store's $10 credit card minimum. I sat at a table but was directed to sit by the window a few minutes later due to the fact I was using a laptop. I certainly don't mind clearing space to accommodate other customers, however I found this peculiar given there was only one additional party in the cafe and ample open tables. Additionally, I was surprised to bite into the croissant to find pineapple filling -- informing customers of this at time of ordering may be helpful. read more

Have been wanting to try this places since we recently moved to the area and finally got to today! I love how convenient it is to walk to, it was very chic and quiet on the inside with sofas to sit and do work or tables for a quick bite in and outside! We were helped by a lady that was very sweet and you can tell she genuinely cares about her customers experiences and preferences. I got an iced vanilla latte and one of these amazing cheese danishes. I will definitely be back for the smoked salmon sandwich next time! support local read more

Delicious food, cooked fresh to order! Owner took care of our table and was really nice and considerate. We live a block over and happy to have such a place right nearby! Thank you and definitely will be back. read more

This coffee shop is the best! Super clean, great coffee, and great service. This is absolutely the nicest coffee shop in the area. If you're in the area, you should give it a try! The lady that made my coffee was so nice, she made my day! read more

Lady behind the counter was mad rude. She looked annoyed when I asked her to make a simple cappuccino. She then proceeded to accuse me of taking a photo of her when i was taking a picture of the wall art & menu. I should've just walked out at that moment. Her attitude was unreal. read more

The lattes are so goodddddd. The owner is also SOO nice and welcoming. Lovely place and ambiance. Go go go !!!

I'm a sucker for local coffee shops and will pay premium price for a good latte. Thankfully Alegrito's is the closest coffee shop near me. The place is run by a few Russian ladies who are always friendly. I usually order a cold latte with 2 shots of espresso and whole milk. Always hits the spot. I find the syrups a little sweet (the usual torani coffee syrups) so I generally go without. The place is a nice cafe with ample seating during the day and is a perfect place to get your work done. Bring your laptop and stay for a few hours, I don't think the owner will mind. Alegrito's also serves food and alcohol but I have yet to try either. Until a new local coffee shop opens near the area, I'll be sticking with alegrito's. read more

I recently visited Alegrito and I was truly impressed! The cozy atmosphere, warm lighting, and relaxing music made it the perfect place to unwind. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making sure every guest felt comfortable.I tried their Georgian wine elarji and megruli kverebi", and it was absolutely delicious! The coffee was rich and flavorful, and the pastries were fresh and perfectly baked. The menu offers a great variety, with options for different tastes and dietary preferences. Good luck read more

Came here for a coffee date. The cafe itself is very cute, small but cute. It was a quite Friday afternoon so not many customers. The staff was very nice. However, the matcha latte I ordered was just okay, very milky and creamy but I didn't taste caffeine. Overall, it's a cute little cafe where you can spend your afternoon at. read more

Today I was craving matcha latte so on my way home from a wonderful massage I stopped in and was pleasantly surprised at the ambiance, very cozy and I was also pretty impressed by the option for alcohol. Anyway I ordered my latte and was ready to Apple Pay and the lady said it was a $10 minimum, I only had $5 cash. The nice guy sitting by the window even offered to help me with the change but the owner said not to worry about paying and enjoy, she was so nice about it and she insisted. I was so thrown off because you know it's hard to get anything free in America. So I said thank you and I dropped the $5 in the tip jar. I decided I was going to plan a return trip just to support the business. I'm actually excited to go back to dine and try the menu. Oh and a cocktail. read more

I found a new favorite breakfast ALL day Cafe! Very courteous and professional service. An impressively creative interior decor. The best I've seen for cafes. Make sure to visit the Telephone booth :) I'm already eagerly looking forward to visit again. One downside- no baby strollers. But necessity for managing square footage. read more

Originally I would give this business 4 stars based on the food, ambiance and service however the issue is the billing. Beware of the bill when you order. I came into the cafe on a weeknight where there was only 3 customers in the place. I was immediately directed to use the window seating from the wait staff as I was working on my laptop for an hour. I ordered hot tea and a walnut pastry which was both very good. The ambience is nice and cozy with open brick and clean space. The drink and food was provided by the wait staff though it would have easily been pickup in many cafes. When paying my bill, I was told it came out to $10.22 though I was paying cash. Cost of food: $8.25 Service Charge: $1.24 Operating Fee: $.41 Total $10.63 Discounted Cash Total: $.41 Grand Total: $10.22 The "Operating Fee" is the credit card charge which is at the cashier counter. The automatic service charge was not. I was not told about the service charge although I usually tip even though I didn't ask for service. It would have been better if the business stated it upfront. PS The window seating has wooden stools so if you have issues with seating then it will uncomfortable for any long time sitting. read more

Newly opened coffee shop (that also sells tea, smoothies, fruit juices) that you can dine in or take out. I am glad that there is coffee shop around the neighborhood - I think it is needed! The interior was spacious with nice decor, seats were very comfy. It is a great place to catch up with friends or to people watch (if you are sitting on the stool area facing 65th street). There is also free wifi here if you sit in. Staff was very friendly and attentive - welcoming and thanking every customer. We tried a cup of black coffee, cappuccino and Nonni's biscotti. The quality and taste of the coffee and cappuccino was good. Nonni's brand biscotti was good too. They also have slices of random cakes, pies, tarts, etc. They also sell sandwiches, crepes, and salads. P.S- if you dine in, there is a mandatory 10% gratuity fee charged to your bill read more

What does one do when they wake up on a weekend morning, crave coffee, but feeling L-A-Z-Y? This was my first time using the delivery option on my yelp app. So I rolled all the way over on the side of the bed where my phone is and order lattes. This way the caffeine can be delivered to my bedside. Okay maybe not my bedside but to the door, I guess if they're bringing me the latte I can at least put on pants and answer the door for the delivery person. I just can't guarantee if I brushed my teeth or not. The app recommend this coffee shop and at this time it was free delivery. So I was sold. Took me a whole 2 minutes but I do like this coffee shop letting me choose my sweetener and milk options. My only wish was it would specify the sugar would be on the side, I assumed it would be added already. But no biggie! I could track my caffeine from bed: from when the coffee shop got my order, when it was prepared, and when it was on its way. The lattes arrived with a straw bent in half to plug the sipper hole on the lid, super smart to keep it hot and not spill. Now that I've had my caffeine, I can be a human now and start my day. Yay! read more

This place used to be much better, but the service and especially the quality of the coffee has gone downhill a lot. The main barista has generally been nice to me, but I watched her treat other customers pretty poorly. It's a nice space, but the not-very-good drinks and poor service are not worth it. read more

This place is the definition of classy in the front, PARTY IN THE BACK. In the morning, it is a beautiful, laid back and relaxing cafe. They serve the classics including cappuccinos, lattes and fruit teas. Now when the sun is goes down, the lights get dimmer and this cafe turns into a full fledged bar! Morning or night, this place sets the right mood. There is also a food menu if anyone is starving I arrived at around 3pm to meet up with a friend and there were about 5 people at this cafe. There were friends catching up and people reading books. Make sure to check in on yelp for a 10% off! I ordered a kiwi lemon pomegranate tea which is absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately, I found the tea to be pretty bland, without either a tea or fruity aftertaste. Coming from an Asian household, I am very used to STRONG, IN YOUR FACE tea flavors so I was a bit disappointed in that it tasted watered down. However, they use fresh fruit in their teas and it was also a beautiful drink so it was alright. I will definitely be trying out their coffees next time because my friend highly recommends them. All in all, a solid cafe, but I just recommend sticking to coffee rather than tea! read more

I kept passing this place by on the way to work and finally went in to check it out. So the coffee is delicious! I had a vanilla latte and loved it. Best thing is they offer alternative milks which is a big plus in my book. They have almond, soy, and yes OAT milk (that's my fav). They have breakfasts as well which are on the healthy side. Lots of fresh veggies, which is always a great thing. They also offer fresh teas with fruit, flavors vary by day. It's certainly cozy and perfect for a small group of gal pals brunching =) I also noticed they have a full bar... which was weird because I thought it was just a cute little coffee place. However - My server also told me they also have hookah, do cocktails at night and stay open pretty late. Pretty good to know, maybe I'll drag the boyfriend out there for a date one of these days read more

A small and delightful cafe off the corner street on Bay Parkway serving up healthy sandwiches and crepes. This Russian cafe offers hearty food items that leaves you feeling full and satisfied without the caloric guilt. Got their Mushroom Omlette, strawberry Banana crepe, and a cup of cuppucino. All came out fairly quick and done perfectly. Cafe boast some very comfy chairs that makes you feel relaxed and inviting. Decor has a retro 1950's vibe with a fake rotary phone inside the bathroom, gives it a little more artsy feel. The barista is also the waitress. Though polite wasn't too keen on selling any special items on the menu. Overall, a lovely experience at this cafe, will definitely be back soon. Also, they accept Yelp check-in offers 10% off total! read more

There have been many changes to this establishment since the first time I came here a few months ago. The layout of the place has changed and the menus as well. The vibe was always great for studying and working but with the music change and the new layout of the store, this place became a true cafe I can see myself venturing to again and again. Charger ports are abundant if you sit near the walls. The raspberry iced fruit tea I ordered was delicious (it comes with real fruit pieces). I really love this space for getting work done and it's a bonus since it's so conveniently located near my house. P.S. They use reusable cups and glasses for your drinks which I applaud them for! Yay for being eco friendly Alegrito. YES YES YES! read more

Warm and courteous service; espresso latte was delish! Had a simple cheese danish that was a complete "organismic" surprise!!! Creamy and warm coupled with delicious cheese - had to smoke a cigarette afterward.... read more

I biked here at 7pm on a Wednesday night and they were closed. No business hours are posted at the door. And the hours you find on Yelp and their Facebook page don't seem to be accurate anyway. How to be a customer when you don't know when to show up. read more

Alegrito Espresso Bar - Front door of Alegrito. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Needed a study spot in the area to do some work and came here with a friend. The place is very cute and good for studying, the drinks and food were not. We ordered 2 espresso martinis and a Nutella crepe with strawberries. The martinis had not been made well. A strong flavor of straight vodka, not blended with the espresso. The crepes were good but for some reason they were cold? as if they'd been sitting in a fridge waiting for someone to order them. I'd recommend that management hire some help considering there was only 1 person working, who as we sat down at 7:00 told us they close at 9:00 even though the hours listed are til 11. She was taking orders preparing the food, cleaning up, and serving which would be understandable why the experience wasn't the best and also explained why she wasn't there for the first half hour when we wanted to place an order. read more

Stopped by Alegrito because its close by our house and we wanted a place to sit down and enjoy a coffee + light breakfast. We've walked by many times and finally decided to give this spot a try. Our neighborhood does not have many spots like this so we were happy to have had such a great experience. Service was quick, the restaurant was clean and the decor made you feel like you were at a cafe in Europe. We both got iced coffees which came in a large glass and tasted really good and fresh. I got a plain croissant which had a slightly sweet taste to it and my partner ordered the avocado toast which comes with an egg on top that they cut out into an adorable flower shape. Would definitely come back to this spot! read more

A HIDDEN GEM. This is my new fav place to do some sketching and research. Whether you're looking for a quiet place to study/get work done, or somewhere to grab coffee with friends- this place is perfect. The interior is so cute, and they make insanely delicious lattes. I tried the mixed berry fruit pastry last time and it was bomb, def try it out! read more

Alegrito Espresso Bar - Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This area around Bay Pkwy is a bit of a coffee shop desert, so I'm pretty excited one has finally opened up here. They've been open for less than a few weeks, so the menu is still limited, but the barista made me a very solid soy latte. Dairy free options include soy milk and almond milk, at no extra charge, which is always appreciated. They also have a small selection of pastries. The shop is spacious and clean with ample, comfortable seating. There's a couch nook and free wifi, which I'll definitely be frequenting on days I'm working remotely. Keep it up, guys! read more

Alegrito Espresso Bar - Croissant Smoked Salmon Sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I use to live around the area but Alegrito wasn't established back then. My friend who lives nearby told me about Alegrito, so we made a study date. I arrived at around 1:30pm on a Tuesday and it wasn't busy at all. The drink I ordered was a soy matcha latte with honey and I had an avocado on toast. They use actual matcha powder prepared the traditional way which is a major plus. I paid $4.95 for my latte and ~$9 for my toast, they have a 10% off for the first time checking in! The decor is super cute and there's a lot of space/outlets for students to study/work. Additionally, the workers were very welcoming. They also use real flower decorations..which was bad for me because I have bad pollen allergies. I was sneezing a lot so I left, but I will definitely come back to get some school work done. read more

Drink: 4/5 I got a matcha latte. It was good but pricey ($4-5ish); pretty standard price for something like this elsewhere but I cant justify the price because I feel like I can make it myself at home. Service: 5/5 The lady behind the bar was nice and very pleasant. Our interaction wasn't long but I left feeling like they care about providing good customer service. Ambiance: 5/5 I think this cafe is very cozy spot for a coffee date or to do some work. The decor inside is nice and they even have a small bar with alcohol -- nice to know there's a nearby spot to have a drink or two in the area. I'd probably come back quick brunch or a nice spot to get some work done. read more

Alegrito Espresso Bar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Cute place, super clean. Not a standard espresso bar as it's a cute small restaurant serving food and alcoholic beverages. Their coffee is not great but again it's not a coffee shop and or a cafe... misleading name. I do recommend this place, for a hang out and pastries... especially their Apple danishes... delicious!!! Probably better places around when it comes to just grabbing coffee. Service is good and helpful read more

Passed by this place a few times since it opened and wanted to try it. There aren't many options in the area for coffee. Finally had a chance to drop by to get a cup of coffee today. Got an iced latte with whole milk. Honestly the coffee itself wasn't amazing, but the place itself was a great environment, and the barista was super nice. 3 stars for the coffee itself but +1 for cleanliness and welcoming barista. They also offer sandwiches, some baked goods, and iced teas or refreshers that sound pretty good. Prices aren't much different from other coffee shops, probably a nice place to sit and read or get some work done. Wasn't too crowded on a Saturday afternoon either. read more

I decided to take my two kids, mom, and A here for breakfast one morning since it's close by our house. When entering, we found plenty of seating with only one table taken. The decor is super cute with a Christmas tree still up, which my older one loved. Really cozy and homey vibes. We were brought menus by one of the two ladies working and after deciding on what we wanted, I brought our menus back and ordered at the bar. We asked for avocado toast, an avocado salad, a rotisserie chicken sandwich, an iced fruit tea, and a hot green tea. First, I was very surprised by the fruit tea, which tasted really fresh and sweet, but not too sweet. Their hot teas are all organic, which I liked too. It didn't take long for our food to come out except for my chicken sandwich, which we thought was taking a long time because they were roasting the chicken lol. The place filled up really quickly with many people quickly coming in and they were busy so we gave them some time but it turns out they forgot it and apologized. It turned out to be chicken cold cuts but it tasted good with a lot of mayo and cheese along with the chicken and very fresh veggies, which was apparent in the salad too. I opted for toast over croissant and it was a multigrain bread. I'd come back again for the fruit tea and A said he would for the salad too. read more
