Perfectly balanced, smooth, and made with care every single time. But great coffee is only half the story here. The staff is genuinely friendly and welcoming, the kind of people who make you want to come back just to say hello. As someone who works remotely, I've tried a lot of spots around Brooklyn, and Coffee Land nails it as a coworking space. The Wi-Fi is free and reliable, so it's easy to settle in and actually get things done. Whether you're grinding through a to-do list or just need a change of scenery, this place has everything you need. Great coffee, great people, great vibes. Coffee Land is a little Brooklyn treasure, do yourself a favor and stop by!

More to be expected are their good lattes (oat milk) and matcha. Now for the vibe. Coffee Land is cozy and relaxing. Think exposed brick, natural light especially in the communal table corner left of the entrance, a pop of color from the teal Marzocco, and what looked like a hanging string of pearls from my seat. The staff are friendly and I've always enjoyed my brief stops in here.

Not much has changed. I'm back to working in the area so every so often I walk or bike over for an iced matcha and either the addictive blueberry muffin or sweet potato loaf.

Overall, a great community space. Happy to have it around.

This coffee shop has a variety of seating options: there is open space in the front as well as a cafeteria table and coffee tables in the back. Each table had classroom chairs (talk about a walk down memory lane!). Other accommodations here include a bathroom and an outdoor patio. While here, I ordered the ham and cheese croissant and a chai latte. The prices were pretty affordable. While here, I was able to lock in and get work done.

Anticipating withdrawl this wknd when it's time to go back home. Bonus!: Secret nook hangout w games & pillows also delightful. Each server I encountered was fabulous. This place is A TOTAL GEM!

I was told by another customer that the stairs lead to a nook upstairs where one can work or study. You couldn't tell from outside. The person working the counter is was so sweet. The special drink wasn't on their general menus but they had it prepared plus it already comes with oat milk. The drink was actually fruity plus it had actual flowers in it. It was a nice balance of sweet and floral. This could be a nice cozy place to work in the future.

We come to sit, talk, share stories, our personal experiences and of course sip a fabulous beverage. I'm seeing this more and more as I visit fabulous coffee places.. Konditori, Villager, Bakeri, Hidden Grounds, and now Velvette Brew. First, the space: light, airy and I can imagine with their big windows, a sun soaked place on a sunny day. There are plenty of seats: tables and high top tables. Their menu offers a bit of everything from soup, sandwiches, quiche and pastries. There is a nice option of beverages hot/cold. Today, was a bit damp so I ordered a hot chai with bite size checkerboard cookies to dip. The barista was very pleasant and I found a seat while waiting for my chai. I see a lot of patrons working in laptops, some meeting up to talk and sip and even the barista chatted with a local patron. Love it! My chai was piping hot and absolutely delicious. The chai was frothy, rich, the black tea leaves infused with cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, sweetener, and milk. I savored every sip and complimented the barista. It is always great to find a new coffee place. I expect to be a loyal local at Velvette Brew. They also host music events and have a collaboration with Cry Baby Ice Cream. It is located in the heart of Park Slope. There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. Velvette Brew 279 5th Avenue B63 to 3rd and 5th or R to Union Street, 10 minute walk.

They don't have much sitting inside but luckily, it wasn't busy when we went so we were able to grab a table in the corner. The Iced Matcha is smooth, silky, and earthy. It was still good as is, but I should've added a syrup to enhance the sweetness a bit. Decent try!

I admired her patience and grace juggling her duties without showing any frustrations to the customers. Very calm atmosphere. I originally went in to purchase food and drinks based on a BOGO offer from an Instagram post but when I got there I had difficulty with the ofder link. She was so attentive and didn't dismiss the issue. Instead she told me not to worry about it at all and just choose the items I wanted. She signed me up for the rewards program and I can't wait to go back based 1 - great customer service and 2- very delicious well prepared food. I was informed that my Bacon ,egg ans cheese on Everything Croissant would take a lil while because they prepare the bacon and eggs to order. I had my order in like 10 minutes and boy was it worth it. Everything waa piping hot and fresh. The Everything Croissant was scrumptious enough to eat on its own. Very hearty serving off eggs. I was set for the day till dinner. I also got chai. I usually love a solo breakfast but I got to chatting with another solo diner and had the most enlightening conversation. It turned out to be the best unplanned Saturday mornings I've had in a while. I'm still thinking of the breakfast sandwich. The menu has good variety of savory offerings and sweet pastries. Coffees, teas ans cold drinks. Clean restaurant, bathroom too. A lovely place to hunker down for a bit and enjoy some food. Can't wait to return.

The music in the background is consistent and pretty soft, so I could see this potentially being a good place to get some work done. The major downsides are that they don't have a restroom for customers and there isn't water. I had a hazelnut oat latte that really wasn't that impressive. The drink tasted lukewarm and the hazelnut flavor just tasted extremely artificial. Probably not a place that I would come back to for coffee, but it did look like they had some decent food options!

Moving on to the food, I haven't had any but the baked good always smell delicious when they're being warmed up, especially the Everything Roule. (I've definitely got my eyes set on that one for my next visit.) I love that some of the baked good have Indian spices. I've never thought about having a Masala pastry before but now thanks to Coffee Break Cafe, I want one. Last but certainly not least, I came for the Matcha Lemonade and stayed for the fresh house-made Strawberry Matcha Lemonade. Yum! I've gotten this drink during both visits and will absolutely be getting it again during my next visit. I'm so glad I randomly decided to check this spot out on my walk to Flatbush because now it has my heart.
