It's not the type of place you visit if you want an Applebee's style hearty welcome and attentive service - don't expect a smiling barista. You go when you want coffee. I'd go back if I wanted coffee.

If you like being ALONE & you appreciate a SIMPLE menu & you're looking for a place for respite…read moreafter a long day of work in Bensonhurst, this is your place. You'll love it. The barista allowed me to change my order of a small espresso to a small macchiato with no hesitation. When I ordered a simple, plain crossoint, she asked if I wanted it hot or cold. I knew that even if it was a tiny gesture and she's just doing her job, she truly didn't have to ask--especially since I was the only person in there. I was grateful for the accommodation. My only reason for visiting is because, as usual, I skipped lunch at work & needed a place to sit quietly & eat for some time like I do near home. There's nothing else in this section of Kings Highway, so I just had to do it. Three other customers came in on a quiet Monday so I'm not quite sure why others are complaining in their reviews. If you want simple and straightforward, come here. If you're looking for overdone, flashy, and gaudy, go elsewhere. This place practically screams European and, frankly, I liked it. If you want frills, go to Starbucks. I have a family friend (retired) who has told tales of going to the Russian Tea Room decades ago... I imagine that this is the modern, Bensonhurst, espresso version of that. I hope and pray that I have more (social) reasons to come here again. Thank you for keeping the European population of Brooklyn alive!

"Caffe Cafe* is a long-standing neighborhood staple in the Bay Ridge neighborhood of Brooklyn,…read moreoperating since 1994 (originally known as "The Original Bay Ridge Beanery)" I can see why Caffeine Cafe is a long-standing neighborhood gem: the coffee is superlative. Additionally, it feels like you are crafting your own Cup Of Joe in your kitchen, it's that warm and cozy. There is a beverage menu that even the fussiest coffee drinker can find something to enjoy. They offer a nice selection of savory and sweet treats made in house like croissants, paninis, wraps, muffins, cakes and macarons and Table 87 pizza. Additionally, they sell their coffee. I stopped by tonight on a windy night to get something hot. Already, brewers and coffee shops are offering pumpkin spice and everything nice. I spotted their seasonal menu and Harvest Moon latte caught my eye. The recipe sounded scrumptious: butter rumbles vanilla syrup plus espresso plus milk plus whipped cream and a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg. I placed my order with Eddie and asked for decaf and no whip. This early evening Caffe Cafe was jumping: patrons dining al fresco to take advantage of the cool September night and patrons enjoying inside as well. My latte was ready in five and tasted delicious: I could taste the butter rum and vanilla but next time I will ask for a bit more cinnamon and nutmeg. It definitely hit the spot. If you are looking for a cozy cafe that serves great coffee this is your place! Special mention to Eddie for his nice service. *Caffe Cafe, coffee house specializing in espresso coffee

It looks like this is a brand-new place on Grubhub. I'm…read morealways willing to support a local small business, but I also leave honest reviews so other customers know what to expect. I ordered avocado toast with eggs and a pastry. The only real positive was the bread itself, which was fresh, large, and actually tasted good. Unfortunately, that is where the positives ended. Although the avocado seemed less generic than standard store-bought guacamole, the taste was not good. The eggs were terrible -- they looked very unappetizing, tasted awful, and appeared nothing like the photo shown on Grubhub. The same photo also showed a small side salad, but no salad was included. I requested chili oil, and that was missing as well. The added cheese had virtually no flavor, so overall the dish felt careless, incomplete, and extremely unsatisfactory. I also checked the box requesting utensils, but no utensils or napkins were included. However, to be clear, this review is not about forgotten utensils. It is about the overall lack of quality, attention to detail, and customer care. The pastry was another culinary failure. It was sold under the French name -"Pan Au Raisin" but it was nothing like what real "Pain Aux Raisins " supposed to be, it was bland, greasy, oily and missing the traditional custard base plus it was delivered in an undersized paper envelope that left the food exposed, a clear violation of basic sanitary standards for food transport. Most importantly, this order caused me stomach pain and GI upset. This was the only food I had eaten in a 24-hour period, and more than 24 hours later I still felt unwell. The owner's reply to my original review was patronizing, dismissive, and refused to take any real accountability. Instead of addressing the food quality issues, the missing items, the poor packaging, and the physical reaction I had to the order, the response tried to reduce the entire problem to utensils and push the conversation into private email. I am keeping this public so other customers can make an informed decision. I wanted to support a new local business, but the bad taste, poor execution, misleading presentation, lack of care, and dismissive management made that impossible. Based on this experience, I would not order again and would not recommend this place to friends or family.

The peanut butter wasn't like mixed into the drink it was just peanut butter spread about the cup. An their cold cups and straws are soooo fragile .

However, if you need a place to study or get your work done this is the place for you. It's super quit and you see everyone on their laptops as well.
