The coffee.... I'm always happy with my latte and chai that I order here. You can definitely taste the coffee and get the kick you need. My husband always gets the drip coffee and mentions that it's always too hot at first... so, at least you know you'll get a hot coffee.. It's usually a one man shop when I go so expect that you'll need to give yourself some time if you're on a schedule. Seating space is small. But during covid, the store has been closed and instead they have a take out window. Credit cards accepted. read more

Overpriced and watered down because the ice melted, guy was not very welcoming either honestly. Felt super weird here would not recommend. $9 for a small coffee :( read more

Just stopped in for a sweet treat iced latte! I got the biscoff cookie butter iced latte and my friend got the smores latte! Both were so good and the guy making our drinks was so nice and helpful. Whenever I'm back in Brooklyn I will definitely come back to try more of their 33 flavors! read more

Brooklyn Brew Cafe - Biscoff Cookie Butter Latte - Cafes Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I stopped by Brooklyn Brew Cafe for the first time while accompanying a friend's daughter who was meeting her mother there. I had no intention of staying--my plan was simply to walk her in and leave--but she insisted I try one of their cookies and sit for a moment. Unfortunately, that brief visit was more than enough to confirm that this is a place I would not willingly return to. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt unwelcoming. Instead of a basic greeting or even neutral acknowledgment, the woman behind the counter looked me up and down with a visible scowl, as though my presence was somehow offensive. First impressions matter in hospitality, and this one could not have been worse. A coffee shop should feel warm and inviting; this one felt the opposite. The environment itself did little to redeem the experience. The overall vibe was dull and unappealing, lacking the comfort and energy that usually make neighborhood cafés enjoyable places to spend time. Rather than feeling like a community space, it felt tense and awkward. Service and atmosphere are the bare minimum for any café. When both are lacking, it raises serious questions about how the business expects to retain customers. Based on this visit alone, Brooklyn Brew Cafe left the impression of a place that has forgotten the most basic principle of hospitality: treat people like they are welcome. Needless to say, I would not recommend this café to anyone looking for a pleasant place to grab coffee or spend time. read more

The shop is small and dark, the service is bright and friendly. I ordered an iced coffee and an avocado toast and the total was $18. The iced coffee was good, not sour. The avocado toast was good but could be better. It had an ample amount of avocado, which was a little salty and too much balsamic sauce, which was too sweet given the amount they put on it. While it was still good and I felt like for $15, it could have been better or at least two slices of toast? read more

Stumbled upon this place while waiting for my car to get fixed. So happy I did because it was lovely. I met the owner, she was very friendly and caring. I ordered a tumeric latte. She told me how she made it a little different and asked if I wanted those additional items. I can tell it was made with love. Small cute spot with a nice quiet outdoor sitting area and some inside as well. I will be back ! read more

Brooklyn Brew Cafe - Voted best coffee in Brooklyn recently ! 2024 - Cafes Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

On July 1, 2025, I stopped into the Brooklyn brew Café for my first time. I met the owner Marina, who was very welcoming. While I was there, I had avocado toast for lunch, which was absolutely delicious. I also had a cold brew Keylime pie coffee, which was amazing while I was at the Brooklyn brew Café I met a number of customers who came in. Everyone is so nice. I will definitely be going back for more coffee and avocado toast. There are so many flavors of cold and hot coffee to taste.

I see a lot of reviews here, and I just have to say, the family that owns this business are some of the nicest and most considerate people I've ever had the fortune of meeting. I'm a picky eater, and every single pastry and menu item has yet to disappoint. Each Barista has their own personal music taste that they put on while working, and each time it's a calming easy vibe that I can sit and have my sunday brunch with. Best of Brooklyn award winners. Definitely worth going. read more

Delicioussss drinks and food! Definitely coming back another day to try other drinks and food, but otherwise Marina is awesome! read more

Let me start by saying that I'm not a fancy coffee drinker - I drink coffee for the caffeine and not the taste. However, I must say, that I really enjoyed the coffee at this little gem of a spot in Bay Ridge. Even better was the customer service and the avocado toast! This is the type of place where you bring a book, order almost anything on the menu and sit outside and enjoy the morning. It would also be the perfect place to catch up with friends or family. The off the avenue location allows for quiet conversation and uninterrupted reading time. I highly recommend the BBC for their coffee, food and wonderful service. read more

If you were wondering if the coffee is made by a trained barista, it's not. It's just people messing with an espresso machine.

They have outdoor eating! Masks are required. I ordered a matcha tea and it was wonderful! It was well made and blended. Definitely will be back to try other things on their menu. read more

Brooklyn Brew Cafe - Cappuccino was perfect - Cafes Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

both the coffee and the service were not good here. the barista was focused on making tiktoks instead of my latte, and the outcome was no bueno. i wanted an iced latte with a few pumps of hazelnut but it came out watery, lukewarm instead of iced, and way too sweet. it also took well over 15 minutes to get a latte and cold brew with nobody else in the store. read more

The soups are delicious and satisfying. Excellent ingredients. So glad they deliver too.

This spot seemed very yummy, but when I got there the workers were not wearing masks. The drink had burnt milk to where it was extremely hot, and the server touched the drinking part of my cup with her dirty fingers. Place would be more sufficient if they followed health guidelines. Another worker inside also did not have their mask on correctly. Maybe next time there will be a different . read more

Not impressed. Service was slow; coffee was lukewarm; bill too high; and the lid didn't fit on the cup causing a huge mess.

I am so grateful this place opened up so close to me. They have delicious vegan soups and muffins, as well as non-vegan deliciousness. The staff is so sweet and kind, and you always leave feeling great after the exchange. My go-to is the oat-milk latte with the blueberry muffin, apple turnover, or chocolate croissant.... and one of their amazing soups. They also have a cute little area for outdoor seating with about 3 tables nicely spaced out. It's a side street so, you won't find it to be super populated, which is great. Totally recommend. I really love this place. read more

Every little thing was great! The prices weren't too bad and the ambiance would be good for conversation or light work/reading. It had a smooth rich flavor. Service was quick and friendly. I had a wonderful experience here in Brooklyn Brew Cafe. read more

The frozen watermelon drink is sooo good! I'm a big fan of the coffee also! The owners and staff are friendly

Great local neighborhood coffee shop. Offers a wide variety of coffees and pastries. The staff is always friendly and welcoming to all.

I have been seeing this place on my walk with my puppers, never been inside coz of the puppers, then a former colleague got in touch with me. She want to send breakfast or snack from this place. Stuff was delivered, I pick up, was amazed by the quality of food. Coffee was great and so was the pastries. The coffee sustained the unit the whole day, was even good when cold. Of course the pastries disappeared quick. Also the delivery was on time. I will definitely stop by this place every chance I get. I'm a coffee addict. I love this neighborhood and this is my new favorite place. read more

Best coffee spot in bayridge ...I go here multiple times a week for the food also...Highly recommended with great staff and ownership.

Went here for the first time today, I was very impressed! Marina is personable and she makes a great dark roast.

When this place opened, I thought it would never make it. Too small. Off the beaten path. Wouldn't survive the COVID pandemic. I was sure it would be closed by now. Boy, was I ever wrong. The atmosphere was inviting. Very friendly. I am not a big coffee drinker, but then they started serving things like huge waffles and the most amazing soups. My favorite so far was the butternut squash soup and spinach lentil soup full of earthy spices perfectly blended. I wish Marina continued success and can't wait to see what else she will add to their menu read more

I'm updating my review because for the last month that I have picked up delicious drinks from their sidewalk counter, the employees have been consistently masked. read more
