    10/10 must try in Williamsburg! I got the dirty Thai tea latte which was surprisingly not overly sweet at all. I loved it! Super cozy vibes inside, great to work or read in. Loved the super unique menu items for drinks and pastries here. I will be back!

    Great coffee addition to Williamsburg that provides a unique offering and good flavors. This Thai-owned and operated spot has everything you need -- seating indoors and out, strong coffee and matcha with SE Asian flavors, and good service. There also have art featuring Thai creatives and items for sale in the front and back. So worth popping into versus some of the viral locations in the area!

    Iced Blue Brown Latte

    I stopped by Blue Brown Cafe after seeing good reviews online. The interior is small, but pretty empty this past Thursday morning. I was in-and-out within five minutes. BLUE BROWN LATTE - 6.75 +0.50 for ice The light blue color of the blue pea flower-based milk was weirdly mixed with the espresso, which made a desaturated grayish-brown color that wasn't very appetizing. I also didn't like the combination of the blue pea flower, coconut syrup, and coffee. Something about it was off... Sorry it just didn't do it for me especially with the ridiculous pricing. It seems like a lot of people like their signature latte, so maybe I just went during an off day?

    I love this place!! the place is absolutely adorable, very aesthetic while still feeling real (it didn't feel like the vibe was forced). it's well lit, artsy, and tastefully colorful. i love that it doubled as an art exhibit too! the blue brown latte was very unique in flavor and delicious, like it managed to have its own flavor without being sweet, which i love as someone who's been to a lot of coffee shops!! there's only one table in the back and a couple counter seats in terms of doing work, but plenty of bench space if you're here just to chat. I came an hour before closing so it was empty seating-wise but people came in and out. I don't live in Williamsburg but will 100% be making the trip out on the next cafe work day :)

    This was a random stop for a caffeine fix on an early morning, and I'm so glad I stopped. It's a small cafe with such interesting drinks, but I opted for their basic blue brown coffee! It has a few seating options inside (along the wall, 1 table seating, and a couple of chairs) as well as tables on the outside. Overall, I loved it!

    Cute neighborhood cafe with unique coffee offering with Thai flare. Loved the Iced Espresso with Palm Juice with strong coffee flavor and right amount of sweetness. The cafe have good amount of seating, good lighting, and friendly staff. Would come back again to try other things.

    Outside of shop - so cute!

    So sad to write this review, but I was disappointed in the Thai tea latte. My Thai tea latte tasted mostly like milk with a very faint Thai tea taste... I had high hopes for the Thai Tea drinks, but was very sad when I tasted 95% milk and 5% Thai tea. The ambiance is adorable, cozy, and so cute - very Brooklyn coffee signature shop aesthetic. I'd come back to hang out friends, but not sure about ordering the drinks

    Due to the matcha craze that has been going on, I've been on the hunt for more cafes that sell matcha drinks. I stumbled upon a few people recommending Blue Brown Cafe on TikTok and Reddit and decided to look into this place. After doing my research, I found out that this is a Thai-owned cafe that sells Thai-themed drinks! And so, I knew I immediately needed to check this place out because hello??? I'm literally Thai!! I visited this place recently and the interior was so cute and cozy. I got their iced pink milk matcha with almond milk since I haven't had pink milk aka "nom yen" in so long. When I took that first sip, I felt like I was brought back to my childhood. Then, I mixed the drink and I tried the pink milk mixed with the matcha and was pleasantly surprised at how well the two tasted together. I will definitely be coming back to try their other drinks! The barista was also soooo nice and friendly! I enjoyed talking to her.

    This adorable cafe is now in my roster of pickup coffee spots. I got the Thai coffee (I asked for it to not be too sweet) and it was perfect. The flavors were well balanced and hit the spot. There were so many drinks I wanted to try (the seasonals looked interesting!) so I will definitely be back. The barrista was also nice and had good energy. Also loved the art display inside! Some of the pieces are for sale.

    The cutest coffee shop ever with such a unique drink selection! I got the signature drink, the blue brown latte, and I don't think I've had a latte quite like this before. Classic latte but paired with coconut syrup and butterfly pea flower tea - very gentle flavors with a good caffeine hit. The inside is cute and cozy, but there aren't too many seats. The staff is also very warm and friendly!

    Croissants
    Huy T.

    Pandan cream filled croissant, yum! Coffee, I didn't love. Service was soo friendly. The shop vibe was quiet and cozy. We got the pandan and thai tea cream filled croissants which were both yummy. The thai tea is a lot sweeter, but we are biased and prefer the pandan flavor. Our pandan croissant also had WAY more pandan cream than the thai one so that was a bonus! They are soft and buttery croissants, but not crispy and flaky on the outside. The blue brown coffee was just a pretty blue coffee. Didn't taste anything spectacular tbh. I didn't add sweetener though, it's probably decent with sweetener. Our barista was accommodating, I asked her to warm up my croissants after I had sat down and she enthusiastically did it which I loved. Overall, would come back for croissants but probably not the coffee.

    dirty thai  iced latte

    Cute local cafe shop! Great place to grab a coffee and catch up with friends. Not too big inside but there's usually space to sit. Coffee wasn't anything crazy - I tried the dirty thai tea since I wanted to explore something new! Super cool concept, I wish it was a bit creamier? Felt a bit watered down? But overall enjoyed it.

    Dirty Thai tea latte
    Stephanie T.

    Found this cute little coffee shop in Williamsburg. Ordered the dirty Thai tea latte and it was so good! The place is small and quiet - definitely a nice spot to enjoy some coffee and pastries and get work done.

    Worth the trip for this Thai tea custard, or the Pandan custard croissants!

There's the main seating area and then two offshoot lounges, which aren't quite as cozy but offer different levels of quiet and ambience. I love all the random décor, antique signs, old arcade games as tables, a million lamps. It's like what nook is going for but you can actually sit down on a comfy couch most of the time. The guy working the counter has a lot of energy and clearly loves being there. The PB banana smoothie was yummy, very thick so could use a spoon. Mushroom toast was a bit pricey but you did get a lot of food for your money, the focaccia was crunchier than expected but all around a nice cafe bite. I just appreciate how this is such a gathering spot where you can watch bk life play out while working, it had a different energy from a lot of places in the area.

I first ordered a chai latte and he said I could do two different syrups so I got the pumpkin and salted maple, though I was worried about it being too sugary so he suggested I could just do half a pump of each. He asked me what the name of the order would be and I said "Aida" (the phonetic spelling is ah-EE-dah). And then I heard the other barista say something along the lines of, "oh Aida, how about 'Aida' rather not be here", pretty rude if you ask me. And then I ordered the spicy nook sandwich. And when another server called my named to grab it she didn't even knowledge me when I tried to thank her and instead she talked to her coworker while I was right in front of her. The sandwich was really good, so was my chai tea. I really like the pumpkin and salt and maple syrups too. I did like all the options for seating although it was pretty packed. I'd say if you have a big party get there early. By 7pm the whole place was filled. There was a huge majong club that came in and took the whole back area, it was so crammed there were lines for the bathroom. Over all I had a good time. I really like the music too just know it gets very busy in there. The employees I would say were hit or miss. The ones that were great though I really liked. Just seem like the ones who didn't really give attention to customers or were kind of rude seemed like they didn't wanna be there.
