Good coffee but nothing to write home about. I came on a Monday morning around 11 and it wasn't busy at all. The whole space feels very bright and open with the tall ceilings and floor to ceiling windows. Lots of different types of seating so it's a good place to hang out or get work done. I got an americano and it was well made. read more

BRC is great! Once a month, after our facials up the block at Beauty Strike, my mom and I stop in for an Iced Maple Shay with oat milk. The baristas are always super sweet and friendly, and the lattes never disappoint. I've tried a few of their savory meat pies as well as some of the desserts (I don't think they're made in house), but they're all super tasty. It's also really cozy and spacious inside, and the wifi is fast so it's a great place to get work done. There's a lot of natural light, plus a gorgeous antique bar - overall, it's a great place to spend an afternoon! read more

Good experience at Brooklyn Roasting for a meeting. Service was warm and the location has plenty of seating and a clean restroom. I did not partake in any of the food offerings but their wraps and muffins looked great. 3 cups of coffee including a decaf cappuccino was $14.09 with tip which is on par with coffee shop pricing today. Parking is not great but a quick walk from the Brooklyn Navy yard. read more

Good option for coffee! We were walking about and saw this place. It was nice to stop by this bright shop with eclectic style. Got a cold brew. A little more acidic than expected but hit the spot. A bit on the pricier side but reasonable. read more

I've only had pleasant experiences here and I almost feel like a regular accidentally now. The vibes are so lowkey here I could relax and drink coffee all day. I enjoy a Macha with soy and maple or a hot latte with almond milk and not only is it good but the presentation and service makes the experience even better. Busy spot but they manage well. read more

Service is always so kind and helpful! I recommend one of the daily specials -- the mint mocha expresso, or one of their signatures -- the maple shay! I do enjoy my coffee to be on the sweeter side and these hit the spot. I also love how Brooklyn Roasters showcases and sells food from other, local establishments. I especially am a fun of the donuts which come from Dun-Well Donuts (another favorite and must try spot!). Super dog friendly as well and the kind baristas always are so happy to give our pup a little treat. The ambiance is cute and gets the job done with both counter stool and soft lounge chair seating options. There are a few outdoor tables as well. I frequently come here post-run to unwind and get fueled up. read more

Brooklyn roasting company normally has a good vibe. This one passes the test. It's a great place to get some work done and is within walking distance 2-10 minutes to plenty to eateries. The coffee is great. The tahini cookie is a sleeper. The staff is pleasant overall. This place is more so for the coffee enthusiast then the foodie. read more

Maple shay I have missed you! Don't ever leave me again! Get the maple Shay! Yes it's maple syrup and it's delicious. I haven't had one since before COVID. Now that I found a location again that's all I'm going to order! I love the different alternative milk choices they have. The coffee peanut butter the sell is really good. Asked for a sample and it did not disappoint. It's the right balance of coffee and peanut. Great for sandwiches in the morning. You can eat and drink your coffee in the morning! Talk about being efficient! read more

Just visited this location. Reluctant, slightly rude service that made me never want to return. I had two old rewards cards, buy 9, get tenth free. Firstly, she confirmed that these cards are still accepted, but no longer issued. Between the two cards, the total purchased drinks were 15. I requested to combine the two cards for one free drink. This seemed to blow her mind, and she wanted me to buy another drink before giving me any for free. Finally she said, "I don't get it, but whatever, what do you want?" she said, and proceeded to ring me up one drink for free in exchange for the two cards, with a side of attitude. The second star is for the actual drink, although it was overall a one-star experience based on the feeling I walked out of there with. She made me feel like a scam artist. I will not be returning, ever. read more

Was my second time here in December 2020 and it was a nice experience. Covid precautions were being taken to make the coffee shop feel as safe as possible - everyone wearing masks, readily available hand sanitizer, and even line formation outside of the location (as opposed to inside). I ordered one of their holiday beverages - peppy-chino which was basically an espresso with peppermint and milk. Very delicious! The drink was prepared quickly and the service was super friendly. Would come back here for sure. read more

This is a really nice coffee shop. The staff is laid back and friendly, the coffee drink I had was very tasty (Maple Shay) and the playlists of music was the best I've heard in NYC. I noticed they had baked goods in the case, but I didn't get any (my friend was there vending cookies in their pop-up series). The outdoor seating was a bonus to the full-glass, airy, spacious shop with long window seating (unavailable) and there was a giant bottle of sanitizer at the condiment station. Im sure the Steiner studio folks come here often as it is situated directly across from the entrance. I'll surely stop in for the tunes and tasty sips. read more

Legit strong rich coffee over here!!!!!! My daughter always says "over here" nowadays Hahahaha $3.50 for a regular size hot coffee $5 for a large ice coffee I was in the neighborhood and was in dire need for a good cup of coffee to wake me up. This place sure did their job right. I couldn't be more awake after drinking a regular roasted coffee yet it was very strong tasting like an expresso. Many thumbs up! read more

Coffee and pasties are good! Giving this place 3 stars because the space here is not conducive for working at all, floors are uneven so tables and chairs are always wobbling, couch seats are so low you fall in, and the table sizes are only big enough for 2 people. read more

Found this spot while walking around with my boyfriend and we came in to shelter ourselves from the freezing cold. We didn't stay long but the place was cute and hipster-y. I think it would be a good place to do work on a computer or catch up with a friend. I can't say anything about the customer service because my boyfriend ordered and interacted with the staff but I will say that they had a pretty good selection of coffees and teas (I myself am not a coffee drinker but my boyfriend was satisfied. I got tea and that was good too). Definitely warmed us up, our to-go cups had a nice design and our drinks kept us warm when we left and faced the cold again. read more

I had the chai here and it was really great. I would definitely come back and study/work here.

Just had a strange interaction with the barista that really soured my experience. I'm a friendly Texan who hasn't ever been in and was the only customer in line. I ordered and was looking at the options for beans when he abruptly asked me if "that was going to be it for me." I told him I'd go ahead and pay and then keep looking. When I brought a container up, he asked me if I had any questions, and I mentioned I was looking for a good blend and wondered if he liked this one. He proceeded to pretty rudely tell me how his taste was so different than others that he wouldn't ever make a recommendation. I laughed and asked what made it so different and maybe he could just share what was a popular seller. His response was similarly uncongenial. Why ask if I had questions? Bummed it wasn't a more pleasant experience--decided to just take my drink to go. read more

What a fun space near the navy yard. The coffee here is delicious and the service is awesome. Hope to come back and spend some time in the back room playing ping pong. read more

Used to come in here before their sort of competition opened. Haven't been back since. The biggest issue is pricing followed by a refusal to listen to customer feedback. Their largest drink is too small and definitely too expensive for the size. Food is hit or miss (have definitely had less than fresh pastries here). read more

Funny story this used to be a titty bar back in the day. Anyway now it's coffee and the coffee is pretty good, they got bagels now too. they used to have sandwiches from court st grocers delivered daily but that partnership ended (thanks to fuck ass covid). I used to take my son Jimothey here. Nice place!! read more

In the area visiting and needed a place to sit and work. Never had a maple Shay before, and it is great!! A little sweet but I love the non-dairy milk options. I should have tried something new instead of tried and true oat milk but maybe next time. Great atmosphere and I love all the natural light & mirrors! There are some outlets but not at every seat. read more

I owe this establishment my life savings. I don't know why I keep subjecting myself to a pre-morning run empty stomach cold brew, but it has proven to be the bane of my gastrointestinal existence lately. This morning, I was on my everyday run. About a mile in, running through Clinton Hill, nature called. And nature didn't call to say hello, nature called to make me beg for every ounce of mercy I had. I was to do what nature wanted me to do, with or without a restroom. I'm a relatively decent man, so the in between cars move was not on the menu as the park slope stroller moms have seem to infiltrate the land east of Flatbush Avenue and were everywhere. I remembered this little cute establishment on the corner of Flushing and Washington. It got the job done and I was saved the humiliation of soiling myself. The bathroom is stickered-up, which gave me the vibe it was a trendy-wendy Bushwick dive bar. This helped me find god in that bathroom, as it made me feel like I was a just a decrepit bar fly just going to the bathroom at my local spot and not a foreign tourist in some nice Brooklyn cafe bathroom decked out with West Elm. It helped me be myself: a man who had to unload himself. The place itself is nice. They're certainly playing on the adage of the Navy Yards being a formerly rustic and industrial neighborhood. (My mother's uncle lived in the area during WWII. He was a sailor. He was killed aboard the USS Indianapolis and never made it home as he found his eternal sleep in the sanctuary of her boiler room.) It fits the block well and goes along with the history of the area. The design is cozy and the bathrooms are nice. The baristas themselves were punctual with orders and knew what they were doing. Today, it was two kind looking women who seemed like they read theory and are apart of a Neo-Marxist book club. Cool people. I'd join their book club! I ordered an espresso, as it was the least I could do in retribution to what I did in their bathroom. It was strong and good, I don't know, I don't drink espresso. Thank you Brooklyn Roasting Company for your strategic location. I am forever indebted to you. read more

One of my favorite coffee shops in Brooklyn! This location has the nicest staff, spacious seating, and great music. An assortment of pastries, sandwiches, juices and the best variety of non dairy milks. Highly recommend! read more

I got a cup of coffee, it was acidic and horrible, lingering. I asked for something, anything else. So they gave me something burnt. $5 for 16oz of some of the worst coffee I've had this year. Two stars because at least they gave me a fresh cup. I'm finishing the coffee for the caffeine. It tastes unpleasant. You'd think the person whose job it is to know all about coffee would maybe try and explain the coffee or ask "do you want something dark or something light?". I'm led to understand that hipsters value cold, brusque service. In that case, this is a hipster joint. read more

I like the food/coffee here but the female brown skinned Barista is just SO rude I would give this place no stars if I can. I asked for less ice and she immediately tells me, "It's really strong, you're going to need the ice". So I responded, "I've had it many times.. it's not strong." She then tells me, "No, you're going to NEED the ice". Excuse me? Even if it's strong, I'm supposed to wait until the ice MELTS before I can drink? What kind of logic is that. Their cold brew/coffee is literally WATERY with ice. I do not want to pay $5 for watery coffee. So I insisted that I want less ice. She then tells me that if I want less ice then they can't fill it up. I went along with it thinking that's fine since I'll be adding almond milk anyways (that paid extra for!) but then she pours HALF a cup of coffee and gives it to me. Not kidding when I say HALF. No way am I paying $5 for half a cup of coffee WITH ice. She had a nasty look on the entire time. If you hate your job and your life don't take it out on your customers. read more

Really yummy espresso! I saw some bad reviews for this place saying it was "hipster" whatever that means in 2022... it's not it is just a normal coffee shop that also sells cool bean blends! I do wish there were more flavors for drinks but I understand if that's not the kind of concept they're going for. read more

I like this place because it is an equal opportunity employer. They give a chance to those who are perhaps not trendy enough to get hired at some of the smaller, hipper coffeeshops (the current preferred nomenclature is drip-impaired). Brooklyn Roasting Company provides these unfortunate souls with a safe and supportive venue to develop their brusque demeanor and flex their sense of disdain for the general public, and I think that's really cool. I would love to give them a five-star review solely on the merit of their charitable works but sadly the coffee tastes like trash and the pastries are made of plastic. Solid three. read more

You really know what a good cup of coffee is supposed to taste like after trying theirs. SO FRESH! This is my favorite place to get a pick me up whenever I have to work in the neighborhood. read more

Good espresso drinks with a great selection of alternative milks including pistachio milk. Opens early so those with early hours can get coffee. The only drawback is that aside from pastries they don't have food available until a bit later in the day, so if you're hungry at 6am you're out of luck. read more

There, you made me do it. You've earned my first one star review. It's after 6:30pm on Sunday, 1/3/2016, and I am in search of a coffee shop (not DD nor SB) that is still open in the BBQ* area. Yes, normal people don't drink coffee at this late hour, but I had a couple of hours of work to look forward to. I got other mouths to feed. And guess what, you popped up on my Yelp radar. What a savior, I thought. I've been to your sister location in the city, but they closed already at 6pm. One large cold brew to go for $5. Black. And no sugar. Just give it to me raw, I'm thinking, as the barista pours the liquid from a large plastic rectangular shaped coffee-to-go-like container with a protruding spout. As I get back to the car and happily sipping away like any other type of addict enjoying their fix, I realized something was off. By about the fifth sip, some foreign matter got sucked up into the straw that had the consistency of paper mâché. It was gross, and immediately my mind conjured up images of smegma (yeah, I said it; I dare you Google it) and the curds that you would expect to find at the bottom of a soy milk container. One should find neither in a cold brew. Anywhere. By then, I was too far to turn back. It was not worth it. And it was disgusting. Thanks, Brooklyn Roasting Company. Guess who is going to be checking the bottom of every iced coffee cup from now on? *Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens read more

The service was great! The restaurant was very clean and fun for the kids (ping pong table and games). The food and beverages were ok. We are of course "out of towners"...there for work and of course all the regulars new we weren't from Brooklyn and everyone stared at us like we were....well, out of towners!! HA! My kids kept asking, "why is everyone staring at us?" The boys are really well mannered and not loud or obnoxious and it was weird that all these people were just staring at us!!!! Not a place to take kids, as they don't seem to be welcomed by the regulars. read more

Shockingly large for a metropolitan coffee shop, bright and beautifully lit, but out of the way unless you're a commuter cyclist heading to north or south Brooklyn from one end or the other. The coffee is is not great, which surprises me. This is the flagship location for Brooklyn Roasting Company. Perhaps the unbrewed beans to take-home are better, but bagged coffee to go is not my... bag. Cappuccinos in house are overly large and milky, and the sandwiches, which I believe sit out too long, have twice given me slight distress. This shop is however a bit of a freelancer paradise. The ample space, seating, free WiFi and outlets give the cofficespacer everything he or she needs - with added entertainment visible and provided through the windows all around. read more

I stopped on a trek from my Airbnb to the bridge for a sugar rush. I went with a chocolate covered donut and a cortado. I do a blog where I try various coffee places and talk about my experience and I take a specific photo of the barista making my drink and the barista declined my inquiry to take his picture so I won't be sharing it or my opinion on anything. I think I may just use the photo for a picture of the machine on my blog because it was beautiful. I am very interested in learning more about it. Because they didn't seem so friendly, I didn't want to ask about it or even tell them I traveled here and to try the coffee. So you just get a picture of my cup/drink. read more

Obviously the coffee here is amazing, but it's the incredibly unique space that they have that makes me love this place. Original tiles, a marble bar with built in stools along the front wall... which is floor to ceiling windows, incredibly unique and shockingly comfortable chairs with low marble tables, and a staff that acts like normal human beings with smiles and friendly greetings. There is a reason I stopped going to national coffee chain locations... and this place is it. read more
