They have coffee, and even some yummy pastries, too, like muffins and croissants - I absolutely loved their plain croissant, as it was warm, flaky, and buttery! Both chai and the matcha were very mediocre, which was disappointing. There was only one staff member, so there was a bit of a wait; she could have communicated better, as patrons were confused on whether to pay first, or to pay afterwards, as some parties were allowed to sit and enjoy their items first, and some parties were snapped at to pay up first - just weird and uncomfortable, and not sure what criteria was being used for this. Space is adorable with about 10 seats inside, and some seats available outdoors. +great warm croissants +avoid their drinks +indoor and outdoor seating available

Montemug: For the Coffee Enthusiasts…read more Stopped into Montemug and ordered the Kotor Café (inspired by the Montenegro region). It had a bold, rich profile but was incredibly smooth--easily one of the more memorable cups I've had in Brooklyn. The space itself is bright and welcoming, and the staff were warm and attentive. You can tell the owners (Evan and his wife) really care about what they're doing. If you're into thoughtfully crafted coffee, Montemug should definitely be on your list. I'll be back soon.

It's not that they've ever been particularly friendly but when I went last Sunday, hours before…read morethey were to close (I did check online) the female barista rolled her eyes and huffed her nose at my basic coffee order. Maybe the most basic thing one could order. I never encountered anything like that before. Then she started angrily sweeping all the pastries out of the bin, slamming things, as if closing, except it was two hours before they were supposed to close. One by one, everyone in the cafe slowly got up to leave, as this woman continued her meltdown. I resent when people who work in places decide to make the customer part of their own problems and foist their personal issues on people just trying to go about their day. I. Really. Hate. That. I could hear her passive aggressively banging and slamming through my noise canceling headphones, while trying to do some work. It's a cute space, with nothing-special coffee and pastries, but it does not need to be....MENACING. Why the hell don't they have Wi-Fi? That area near the school really interferes with one's phone signal, and every single other cafe in Williamsburg has figured out how to have Wi Fi. Every single one. New management and staff might improve the business.

The space is large, bright, and clean, with plenty of seating--perfect for working or relaxing. Lots of people were on laptops, and thankfully, the music wasn't blasting (a huge plus for a coffee shop). There was no line, and the staff were friendly, attentive, and helpful in answering questions. I ordered the Shakerato, one of their iced NOLA-style coffee drinks, which comes with oat milk by default--a welcome dairy-free option. It was a little sweet, but super refreshing and perfect for a summer day. Blue Bottle is definitely on the pricier side, but it's a nice treat now and then.

My partner has shared Paloma's pastries with me previously but this was my first time at their actual coffee shop. I got the NOLA cold brew which was very tasty with the spices and splash of milk. I loved how it wasn't too sweet. For their pastries, the matcha danish is so delicious!! They use matcha from Kettl and blend it with a dark chocolate. The result is a very decadent molten matcha filling. It pairs very nicely with the surrounding crunchy pastry given the textural contrast, as well as the spare sweet red beans at the bottom to balance out the bitterness from the matcha. We got two, one to enjoy immediately, the other to savor at home, because it was so good! Their pistachio pastry was also very tasty with a buttery, flaky croissant outer layer and a pistachio/chocolate mix filling. I'd recommend heating it up at home to maximize the crispiness of the croissant! The sesame bun had a good black sesame flavor with generally chewy bread. This location had a decent amount of indoor and outdoor seating. Loved the big windows with lots of natural sun light. Line moved quick. Drinks/pastries were prepped quickly as well.
