    Matcha latte: 1/5, service: 5/5 I wanted a matcha latte but the line at 12 Matcha was way too long so I went around he corner to Buddy Buddy instead. Both places have been on my list of places try a matcha at. So I'm allergic to peanuts and tree nuts and didn't realize this place specializes in all things nuts LOL. But I told the cashier of my allergies and he was super nice and helpful and let me know what I could order. You're given a little scanner thing and it will buzz when your drink is ready. It took like 5 minutes for my drink to be ready. The guy who gave me my drink was super nice and even commented on how the matcha matched my green sweater. I got an iced matcha latte with raspberry syrup and no nuts obviously. Presentation: 5/5, taste: 1/5 I'm sorry but this was one of the worst matchas I've ever had. When you mix it up, there is no flavor. It tastes completely watered down (even with all the ice still in it and it didn't melt yet). Maybe getting a drink with nuts in it since they're known for that will be better but I was really disappointed because there was so much potential.

    Pb&j latte
    Felicia Y.

    Pb&j latte was very peanut butter and jelly like. It honestly tasted like I was drinking a liquified uncrustable filling. I thought it was very unique but I couldn't taste any coffee flavor. If it were stronger I think I would have enjoyed more They have a computer zone where you can sit for 90 min and do work. Otherwise there's the normal sitting area

    I was on a mission for matcha downtown. When I saw Buddy Buddy I wasn't sure this was the spot for a good matcha bc they specialize in peanut butter coffees but apparently their matcha is delicious too! The music inside is vibey, it's full of people chatting. Overall fun and lively. In the back there's a special area for people with laptops. They're away from the main area and don't ruin the cool vibe of the cafe. I loved my drink and would def come back! Btw there are a few other non caffeinated options in case you don't do coffee.

    Okayyyyy I didn't want to give into the hype but boy was I impressed. From the ambiance, to the laptop area, and the nut butter collection that's for sale. I loved all areas of this coffee shop! I got le buddy with almond milk iced! First sip, couldn't tell the difference from a regular latte. The more I drank it, the peanut butter taste came thorough and it was surprisingly very good. I would love to buy their nut butters to take home as well. They had many flavors from cinnamon bun to pecan pie to cocoa.

    Almond butter chai
    Ashwini A.

    SERVICE - located in NoHo - spacious interior with seating in the front near the ordering counter and in the back - can get crowded quickly especially during busier hours - baristas were friendly and made drinks relatively quickly MENU - nut butter based drinks and baked goods - plant based milk alternatives available - average price FOOD - almond butter chai (5/10): i got this hot because it was cold outside and i wanted something to warm me up. The barista did say that they recommend their drinks to be iced so maybe that influenced my review. The chai was okay though i found it to be watery and lacking spices. I could not find any almond butter flavor throughout the drink until I got to the end and saw a clump of it at the bottom. WOULD I GO BACK? I loved the concept so i would be willing to give it a second chance and order something different before making a final judgment.

    I am a huge fan of peanut butter and coffee so I had to try the Le Buddy to see if I liked it. The shop in itself has a lot of small tables in the front and a little more seats in the back so it's not too big but definitely a nice place to take a break. The service was really quick and very bubbly which is always nice. Now, the coffee, it really was everything I thought it would be. It was like a very nice peanut butter latte which is not something I've ever seen personally but I think it is something that people should do more often. Will definitely be back to try other nut coffees in the future as well as their pastries!

    Butter cheeks and fruity buddy

    I had been hearing about this nut butter cafe and decided to try it out. There was a small line outside the building, but it moved quickly and we were inside in about 3 minutes. Inside the shop they have their homemade nut butters lining the walls for sale and coffee beans. There are self-seating tables along the wall and some in the back, but it was very crowded and took a bit to wait for a table to open up. I ordered the PB&J iced latte with oat milk, the cacao butter cheeks and a PB matcha. The PB&J latte was the least favorite item, which surprised me because it seemed to be the most recommended. The jelly was overpowering in the coffee so next time I would get the plan PB latte. The butter cheeks was really good, not too sweet, I would get it again. Overall, this coffee was fun for a treat but not somewhere I'd go frequently.

    Such a cool place! I loved the vibes of the store. It was pretty crowded when I went, so there was no available seating, but since the place was pretty spacious, there was still room to walk around and wait for my drink. I loved how organized everything was. There was a line right next to the door, marked by a rope, and it moved fairly quickly. The cashier was also very nice. After ordering my drink (Fruity Buddy), she handed me a pager. I only waited for about five minutes, and the drink was delicious. The taste of the peanut butter wasn't too overpowering, and the overall drink was so smooth (I had expected a slightly gritty texture). I would love to come back to try their pastries and purchase a nut butter.

    Giving a strong review mainly for cafe design and subtly of the drinks! The interior is beautiful and so thoughtfully designed, it's nice to notice all the details (like pb&j inspired stained glass windows). We tried their mocha and classic buddy buddy peanut butter latte. Both were really delicious without the nut butter being too overpowering, and I also appreciated how the drinks weren't too sweet. I also tried their pb&j cheek, which tasted like a rich muffin top.

    Nice interior with plenty of room for seating. Drinks were very peanut butter forward you must really enjoy peanut butter and the thickness and nuttiness of it to enjoy these drinks. Could not taste the coffee or matcha of it otherwise. Can taste the fruitiness of the raspberry syrups to cut through it

    Le buddy
    Brooke K.

    I really enjoyed the Le Buddy iced latte. The peanut butter steamed into the drink was such a fun twist. It was rich and flavorful at first. The only thing I noticed was that as I kept drinking, the peanut butter flavor kind of faded. I do wish there had been a bit more peanut butter so the flavor lasted throughout the entire drink (and yes, it was stirred). There was a pretty long line outside, so definitely be prepared to wait a bit. The space inside is actually pretty big though, which is nice. I'd come back again!

    Another cool coffee option to experience if you don't have any nut allergies. This place has a decent amount of tables to come and sit and do online tasks or enjoying some good coffee drinks with friends. I must say though, that everyone that was there had a laptop open. It was kind of interesting, reminding me of late night summer nights when they had Internet cafes, drinking chock full of nuts coffee. IYKYK. I had this place on my radar because I wanted to try one of the many butter options they sell for some future smoothies, I mean spring is here and summer is knocking right around the corner. I love a good almond butter and to find that someone decided to create drinks using peanut butter and all the other butters they had to offer I couldn't resist. I purchased an almond butter latte with peanut butter milk (hot), along with an almond chocolate chip cookie and after getting some sample tasting, I went home with a jar of cinnamon roll butter. It was so creamy with a hint of cinnamon notes, perfect to put into a smoothie. The service was great as well, the guy who made my drink, remade it for me with no problem because it wasn't hot enough for me. The young girl who helped me was also sweet with helping me with my decision on what butter to purchase. You can also buy other items they have available, coffees, tote bags, t-shirts etc. Overall, I was happy with what I purchased but I know I won't be running back here to buy anything else. The butter was pricey and along with yes, that delicious cookie and latte I purchased, it's just too far of a trip to make and nothing left a lasting impression on me to go running back. If you're in the area it's worth a try, but if you live uptown and far away, it's not really worth the trip. I will give a thumb up and has always Happy Yelping!

    Super cute place and nice ambiance. The baristas were all really nice and the place was honestly just a good vibe. Lattes aren't even that bad price-wise for be a specialty coffee in NYC. I tried the almond-butter chai and my friend got the og. both were good and actually it kept me full for a while. That being said it's a nice place but I'm not rushing back. Very glad I tried and their merch is so cute

This space is in a great location in Cobble Hill, not far from transit and shops. The best part is it's clean and well lit. Will return to try some of their prepared foods and packaged salty items.

What was once a family-owned, excellent grocery store run by wonderful people who cared is now a Key Food with a different name. I mean that literally; they were bought by Key Food during the pandemic, and they laid off all the employees (that we loved), brought in more self-checkout, and the quality of the produce has fallen off a cliff, while the prices have climbed to extortionist levels. For the most part, the replacement staff is quite nice and usually helpful (there are a couple bad apples that seem upset you need assistance). The guys behind the prepared food counter will do a solid job on your sandwich, and the cashiers are usually pleasant and almost always efficient. They still have a rewards program where if you spend around $250 and you get like $10 credit. (Hey, it's better than nothing.) The expansion of the store a few years back means they truly have just about everything, and the beer and ice cream selections are actually phenomenal (but overpriced). However, produce we buy is occasionally going bad already, and the prices are wildly out of control. I paid $7 for two onions last week. It becomes harder and harder to justify shopping here when it's more expensive than Fresh Direct, and vastly more pricey than the fruit and vegetable spots a few blocks away. I don't risk the meat and fish any longer (not with Paisanos and Fish Tales in the hood), although Bell & Evans chicken is quite reliable. Basically, Brooklyn Fare went from an incredible market to have across street to a last-resort for items I forgot to purchase elsewhere in the neighborhood, at reasonable prices. They know we're coming in when we need something, and we're going to pay for it. Despite these shortcomings, it's still great to have a corner store that has just about everything. I can still run out and grab some milk for my wife's cookies when I've finished the last drop and she looks particularly stabby. But it's going to cost $7 for half a gallon.
