    Good matcha. Cost extra for alternative milk which sucks. Space is small. Will need to add a sweetener if you prefer a sweeter matcha

    Blue bottle has always had good quality coffee, I worked here for 7 months while in school and i absolutely don't mind spending my money here (it is pricey). This location though was just so sad, the staff did not greet us and just stared until we ordered, they looked miserable. Specially the person behind the espresso machine. I still recommend solely for product quality, not hospitality.

    In the last couple years, I have been finding myself liking coffee at least equally (but not more than) to tea. I'm still a huge tea aficionado but it appears that I have at least one cup of coffee in a given day. Hot or iced depending on the weather. Blue Bottle Coffee was listed in an article as one of the best Brooklyn shops for coffee. And I agree (btw, many were from the Williamsburg area). I truly enjoyed my experience at Blue Bottle. I describe it as an experience because the staff were so friendly and welcoming. In typical Johanna fashion (and out of curiosity), I managed to ask about a gazillion questions and they happily obliged and answered them all! Blue Bottle was born about 15 years ago in Oakland, CA and has succeeded by crossing state lines ever since. This particular Boerum Hill spot is cute, cozy and immaculate. Space is small therefore do not expect to be on your laptop or device a la Starbucks fashion. It's mainly to go but there are 3 counter window facing stools available as far as seating is concerned. Upon my first visit, I had the pleasure of receiving recommendations from the/my barista--Dalton. He was quite knowledgeable regarding everything coffee and brewing methods. My selection was made via a "pour over" method. Who knew? Certainly, not I. I selected the Bella Donovan coffee with hints of caramel, red berries and milk chocolate. I always put some kind of dairy or non dairy in my coffee and was informed it would work well. Once it was done brewing, I enjoyed my cup of coffee which had a bold taste but not too bold (I dislike overly strong/bold coffee). Blue Bottle is not just about coffee. There's also tea and hot chocolate as well as some sweet bites such as mini brownies, cookies and chocolate. They also have a New Orleans style iced coffee of which Dalton was kind enough to offer me a sample. And it was delicious. I highly recommend visiting Blue Bottle (there's several other locations in Manhattan) if you are a coffee connoisseur. Even if you're not, your taste buds will let you know it's a good cup of coffee!

    I am never disappointed when a get coffee from here. This place is just tucked right around the corner with a few tables outside and a few barstools inside. They have a little to go window towards the front to wait for your coffee if gets too crowded. When I went on late Monday morning, it wasn't busy at all. The barista was helpful, and got my drink right away. I got a regular latte, which was amazing! The coffee wasn't piping hot so it allowed me to drink right away.

    Now that was some mite-T-fine coffee..

    Love! Man, I love Blue Bottle Coffee. Walking into the small, cozy shop today, I was welcomed by a few nice counter persons. I view the menu board and I see a New Orleans Cold Brew with chicory? Be still my heart.. I tell the counter person I would like two coffees. One Cold Brew and One espresso. Oh yeah, throw in one of those Red Miso Sesame cookies. Not a problem sir, $19 please. What??!?! The woman charged me for 4 coffees, I had to explain one cold brew and one espresso to stay. It's all good once the technicalities were settled. Man, the chicory brings me right back to New Orleans. What a treat to have this flavor, its a root that has New Orleans history. Chicory use was mixed with coffee during the Civil war. As trade disruptions and blockades disrupted deliveries of coffee, citizens and soldiers made do by roasting wild chicory root. When the war ended, the good people of New Orleans said we like this stuff, lets keep rockin' it. There ya go. Rock on Chicory with your bad self! The espresso? Off the chain. Throw a Red Miso Sesame scooby snack into the mix? Made my visit 5 stars. Thanks Blue Bottle Coffee. For rockin'!

    Always visit when my dog goes to the vet in the area, and always look forward to it! Awesome pastries and a great coffee always.

    This newest location of one of the best high-end coffee chains operating in NY these days is one of the smallest, but still has all the same awesome stuff. It's pretty much like a glorified, indoor coffee counter. There is room enough for 5 or 6 people to stand comfortably inside. There are no seats and just a small counter to lean against for the few who snag a spot. They have the same lineup of excellent sweets as at other locations though. Most notably, the delicious cookies: Ginger Molasses, Snickerdoodle and best of all, Double Chocolate ($2 each). Most importantly, to go along with a cookie or two, the coffee here really is great and worth the high prices. The Cold Brew is so good, and requires no sweetening, but nothing beats the New Orleans Style Cold Brew ($4). They add a good amount of whole milk, which helps explain why it's so good. I just wish they had larger cups, which I would gladly pay more for, but it's probably a good thing they don't since I would end up dropping way too much money on coffee. This will become my new first stop for a snack and a drink before a stroll down Smith Street.

    Blue Bottle is one of the best! It's the cream of the crop. If you are looking for a quality delicious coffee, you have come to the right place. I was ecstatic this summer when I noticed a location was opening in Cobble Hill. I do love so many coffee shops in this neighborhood and they all have their strengths. Blue Bottle is all about the details and the decadence. I come here for the kidn of strong coffee that will put a little hair on my chest (metaphorically of course). It's strong, melt your teeth kinda strong. But I can't help myself but indulge. Then they have their signature decadent cookies. My older brother is a fan of the lard and pb cookie. And of course they have a selection of the equally beautiful Mast Brothers chocolates. And some other caffeine making goodies to make coffee at home. And I love that their espresso machine is decked out in fabric. The only con is that it's too tiny to get really comfy and find a corner to nestle with a book with. And sometimes I am in the mood for a corner. I also love an iced coffee after a big lunch.

    easy to find (and CUTE) location, great staff, and really good coffee as i always expect to find from Blue Bottle. i've been to the bryant park location and prefer this one waaaaaay more. it has better seating and doesn't feel like i'm trespassing an office building. i usually get the new orleans cold brew but decided to try the iced mocha and it was delicious! perfect balance of chocolate and espresso. my brother, who's not big on coffee, tried the new orleans cold brew at my recommendation, really liked it as well. as he put it, "it's smooth, simple, and not bitter". woo-hoo! we got a convert here. blue bottle's drinks are not cheap, only come in one size, and it's not that big. but for the quality of brew, i'm willing spend a little more. overall, great coffee, awesome staff, will be back for sure.

    Used to be amazing years ago. Now it's genuinely horrible. Do not pay Blue Bottle prices for Starbucks level cappuccinos.

You must have the Brussels sprouts!! I'd go back for those in a minute! I very much enjoyed my salmon dish. Lovely presentation and preparation but portion a bit small.

Walked in and was able to get a seat without reservation, but it definitely filled up by 6/7 pm. The place is dimly lit and the tables are quite small. For the food, we got their Brussel sprouts, shrimp, salmon entree and chicken entree. Our favorite were definitely the shrimp. But everything else when eaten together tasted a bit too greasy and felt monotonous in terms of flavor. Brussel sprouts were fried and held to a decent amount of oil, then the addition of tahini made it even more oily. Pan chicken we expected whole pieces of chicken but it was more like a thin chicken cutlet. The salmon came with a cauliflower puree which tasted so rich (with butter), but I couldn't finish it bc it was so rich.

    People have left some odd reviews of this place, including a one-star review for the restaurant…read moreapparently being highly politicized--a vibe I neither felt nor could visually identify within or without the establishment. I ordered a single burger and a Sudan spiced peanut butter latte, for ~$15! That's pretty inexpensive for New York City. I note this as some consider it overpriced. I suppose the food is fairly inexpensive, the lattes slightly higher than average. The "burger" comes wrapped in a homemade pita with diced cucumber, onion, and tomato, plus a few crispy, thick-cut fries and a yummy house sauce. It was a cool twist of the traditional burger and had a nice flavor. The sauce was like a slightly Mediterranean version of Big Mac sauce. The girl working as the barista and cashier was very nice and friendly. She had a nice presence and warm smile, made suggestions, and even gave a stranger free utensils when they popped on to ask. I think it's definitely worth checking out, and it's a good place for a cheap & simple meal that's still quirky and fun.

    I have wanted to try this spot for some time, and wound up a bit disappointed with what I tried…read more They feature a tahini cold brew, which features two things I love dearly, but instead of a rich cold brew it was overly sweet and icy--more like a slushie. Perhaps I should have anticipated that, or my mistake in ordering. I also ordered a Moroccan egg salad sandwich which was substantive but surprisingly bland--sparse with the advertised capers and pickled red onions to give it more punch. I've always loved the look of the spot and the vibe--funky decor, outside and indoor facing counters to order, with some outdoor seating for people watching on Dekalb or heading nearby Ft. Greene Park. I see they are renovating and rebranding a bit and adding some burger component. While I didn't love it, I'd definitely give it another shot.
