This cafe is super cute, but is also very tiny and crowded at peak times. We went there to grab brunch on a Saturday. Getting to the counter to order felt like a game of Tetris and some poor guy spilled coffee all over himself attempting to squeeze past me. I understand why it's so crowded though, because the crew that works here is so welcoming, and you have a million menu options to pick from. We ordered the an iced matcha and an iced maple latte for drinks. For food, I got the avocado lox toast with eggs, my husband got the Gandhi bagel. Overall, we were a little less impressed by the drinks. They felt a little watered down, but we both prefer bolder coffee and matcha. We both preferred the coffee over the matcha. However, the food was SO delicious. You can tell they really picked fresh, high quality ingredients. Both orders of food were extremely generously portioned. I highly recommend the food to anyone in the area seeking brunch! read more

This is a cute little cottagecore cafe. Quiet and a great place to study. I got a great chai latte and cherry oat scone. They had some seasonal autumn drinks too that sounded good. There is a 90 minute maximum to stay when it's busy. read more

I was looking for a place to grab lunch in the area and ended up at Cafe Volkan thanks to Yelp. It's a neighborhood cafe with a few tables inside and a couple outside. The barista made a delicious matcha and I also enjoyed the woodland omelette and hummus plate. The hummus plate came with crunchy cucumber, ripe tomatoes, hummus with tahini, pumpkin seeds, a generous amount of avocado and two eggs. I'm picky when it comes to hummus but I really liked theirs. It had a little tahini. The woodland omelette had cremini mushrooms and sautéed onions inside. It came topped with avocado. The omelette and hummus plate both came with bread. would certainly order both food items again. Cafe Volkan is a charming neighborhood spot. read more

Cute cafe tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. They have a large menu of drinks, and I love that they offer chaggacinos (mushroom chaga used as a coffee substitute)! It's a small space and limited seating, so be prepared to take your order to-go or wait to squeeze in. Service was friendly and quick. Prices are reasonable for New York. read more

Great place to get a quick, lighter-side breakfast! The omelette and açaí bowl were both yummy, though I do agree with some of the other reviews that the bowl is on the runnier side. Latte was pretty good. Services was also very great and food came out pretty quick. Not a ton of seating inside and out, so it would definitely be tough to find some for more than two people. Went on a Monday with one other person and we didn't have trouble finding seating. read more

Very cute spot in the heart of Brooklyn. I came here on a weekday around 1:30pm and there was available seating. The inside is small but cozy. I got an iced matcha. It was refreshing, though not the best iced matcha I've had. I would come back when I'm in the area. read more

Cute place. Very good. Simple and easy. I love the location and that it's very close to my home. Will be going back.

Good coffee and a comfortable atmosphere!!!!! I visited Cafe Volkan recently and had a pleasant experience. The coffee was well made with rich flavor, and the pastries were fresh and enjoyable. It's a nice spot to sit down and take a break. The café has a cozy, relaxed feel that works well for casual meetings or some quiet time. Staff was friendly and welcoming, though service slowed slightly when it got busy. Overall, Cafe Volkan is a solid choice for coffee and light bites. With a bit faster service during peak hours, it would easily be a regular stop. read more

The coffee was really good and hot! Very quaint establishment, indoor seating only for 11 people maybe 13 if people shared a booth. Outside seating for 8. They had a wide variety of pastries. I had a grilled cheese omelette Bergen and my husband had a waffle. Both were really good. Nothing comes with it, and the grilled cheese could have had a larger amount of the ingredients, so a little pricey for breakfast, but very good and fresh. We sat inside and they seemed to stay busy on a Saturday morning. We would go there again. I think this would be more a coffee and pastry shop for us than regular menu items as $15 for a waffle and no sides is a bit much. read more

Cute little cafe in a nice, quiet area. The ladies there are lovely and attentive and the food was priced well and yummy. Wouldn't hesitate to come work here one day :) but they do request no laptops on weekend just fyi. Overall the drinks were made well. Chai latte was too sweet but I should've said something beforehand. I'm sure it can be adjusted! read more

4.5 / 5.0 - Cafe Volkan is such a cute neighborhood cafe. My friend and I stopped by for lunch after our barre class to try their avocado toast. It is a very very small cafe, with limited seating inside and outside. Luckily, we were able to find a table inside, but many people were there to pick up coffee to go. The Classic Avocado Toast ($11.50+) was absolutely delicious. Some places get stingy with their avocado, but this one had plenty of avocado on the toast--which was perfect for an avocado lover like me. Next time, I hope to try their Salmon Avocado. For drinks, I ordered tea ($4+), which they had a nice selection of from Harney & Sons, from Paris to Ginger Tea. If you love avocado toast, there may be a bit of a wait for a table, but I highly recommend you stop by and give it a try. read more

I had passed this cafe multiple times when near the Bergen street area. However, it took me waiting for another place to open while it was pouring rain in the early hours of the morning to get myself through the door. It is a relatively small place. With a few tables and chairs. I admire the green pastels on the outside and the wooden set up they have on the inside. They had rules about laptops inside which make sense since people don't control a seat for hours. It was relatively empty for me due to the rain and the early morning but there were a few people coming in for quick conversations and to pick up food. If I wasn't heading to a pancake place immediately after I would have tried their menu since they had various options including variations on avocado toast, Belgian waffles and truffle omelettes. I got introduced to Salep (sahleb in other places) because I saw it on the board. It was the only item that I didn't recognize and when I was told it was made of orchids, I tried it. Definitely on the creamy side and you get the floral flavor. Though I can't see this as a working cafe for me, I do see the future of a great spot to chat with a friend read more

This little gem is nestled in a neighborhood. I met up with a friend here while visiting NYC. We snagged seats by the window. I opted for coffee and she chose the egg sandwich (which looked yummy). Friendly service & it appears they have lots of regular customers - as most folks dropped in for their usual order & went on with their day. read more

Super cute café offering drinks, breakfast foods, and pastries. They are really friendly and service is fast. There is very limited seating and I didn't see a bathroom (although I didn't ask). I got an almond milk maple latte and it was delicious. Not too sweet and the coffee was strong. I also got the truffle omelet grilled cheese which was flavorful and filling. Definitely would come back! read more

Cute coffee shop off the Main Street. Nice fresh food and classic devocion coffee. It's just pretty pricey for what it is.

Cute intimate cafe, great for breakfast with all fresh fruits. The employees are all very friendly. I had the açaí bowl but it was my first time trying it so I had nothing to compare it to (per se). it was more watery than i expected. I still enjoyed it and I would like to go back and try more of the menu (and update this review!). The açaí itself is maybe 3 stars, but the service was so friendly I added a star as well. read more

Came here to escape the heat and eat some açaí bowls. Cafe is tiny and offers no bathroom or AC so it wasn't quite the nice escape we were hoping for. The açaí bowls sounded really good on menu and love that they are freshly blended, but the execution wasn't quite there. The consistency was very watery and we each ordered the green one with spirulina but it was overwhelmingly spirulina flavored and couldn't even taste the açaí. Was also very pricey at almost $20 yet didn't fulfill the açaí bowl craving read more

I stopped in for a coffee and maybe just a tiny pastry or bite, but when I saw something mysteriously and all-too-alluringly called an "omelette grilled cheese" on the menu, I felt helpless but to try it out. That turned out to be an excellent choice. Somewhere between breakfast and lunch, between panini and grilled cheese, between the moon and New York City... I fell in love with this delightful sandwich. I went with the truffle grilled cheese option--wildly flavorful, hearty but not terribly heavy--just a delicious meal, with a delightful light side salad as a perfect contrast and accompaniment. I also had a cortado which was tasty and perfectly made. This spot has a small but charming little outdoor seating area, or also perfect for takeaway as well. I can't wait to come back and try the other omelette grilled cheese options. Heck, just saying "omelette grilled cheese" out loud and reflecting on my meal now makes me pretty happy. read more

Cafe Volkan - Omelette grilled cheese sandwich with side salad and cortado - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

It's a small place with both inside and outside seating. We were welcomed with the wonderful aroma of delicious food and fresh coffee. The staff are just amazingly friendly and helpful. As we did in line, we heard the wonderful and relaxing music. It's just an incredible feeling of being at home. Is also conducive to meeting the person during next to you. And that's what we're doing right now; we met a new friend. We ordered the Truffle omelet grilled cheese. It was so delicious. I'm pretty hungry this morning and so I also chose the blueberry scone. It's most and savory with fresh blueberries. The coffee is really good. It's not great, but it works well with the scone. Finally, we tried the Chaga with coffee. It sort of tastes like a latte. Bergen street is a wonderful place to walk in Cobble Hill. This place is a true gem read more

Wanted something quick and light and also needed a Matcha pick-me-up, so I saw this highly rated Cafe on Yelp and went for it. I ordered a iced Matcha latte, which was prepared quickly and tasted just how I expected it to. I also ordered an avocado toast with salmon and waited maybe 10 minutes for it. Longer than I expected but when I received it, I could see why. The toast was quite sizable, and there was no shortage of avocado or salmon on it, so I was pleasantly surprised. They topped it with capers and red onions, and I have to say this was quite the deal! The Cafe doesn't have a lot of space but it has a nice cozy charm to it, and the drinks and food seem to be made with care. I took mine to a park nearby and was quite stuffed afterwards. read more

Cafe Volkan - Avocado Toast with Salmon - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

What I love most about NYC is the sheer density of cute cafes like Cafe Volkan. We found this little gem when looking for a casual lunch spot for a weekday and we were not disappointed! While this cafe is very small, they do offer a great food and coffee selection. This time around, we got the acai bowl and a truffle grilled cheese omelette. Seating is very limited both inside and out, and we were lucky to grab a table outside to enjoy our food. We did not order any coffee this time. Both the acai bowl and the grilled cheese omelette were absolutely delicious! The grilled cheese omelette was particularly unique. It's almost like a savory French toast crossed with a grilled cheese. If that sounds good to you, I highly recommend trying it! The acai bowl was also a generous portion with generous toppings as well. We really enjoyed our little lunch date and I would recommend for a quick tasty lunch if you're in the area! read more

Lovely little joint! Friendly service, delicious omelettes and good coffee. Recommended for groups of 2

Such a cozy place and I couldn't stop being in awe of their storefront. Their avocado toast with salmon was really worth it for 12 dollars as most places charges that as 15 dollars+ usually! They have a really cozy inside seating and the people working here are super friendly. There's so much sunlight here I was able to read and do work well. read more

Cafe Volkan - Great place to work at Matcha latte and bear financier - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

It's a cute little cafe right off of Bergen & Smith! I love the homey aesthetic of the place. It looks like one person could sit inside and then there is a bench for a few people to sit outside, and another small table I believe. There's a nice selection of drinks and food (e.g. waffles, omelettes, pastries). I ordered a golden latte with oat milk ($7), and I'm not sure if it's bc it was the ginger-turmeric or what but it did not taste as good as others I've had. BUT given how darling this place is and the fact that it's in my 'hood, I'll give it a try again another day. read more

Cafe Volkan is a cute little neighborhood cafe in Boerum Hill. I ordered a 12 oz iced almond milk latte ($6) and it was solid.

Beautiful addition to the neighborhood with prime real estate, just off of bustling Smith St. The outdoor seating is cute, with a couple small tables and a couple benches. It's been full every time I've stopped in, but I'll be excited to have a coffee and pastry out here soon enough when I can snag an open seat. The lattes are solid. They use Devoción coffee which I really like the quality of, and they have a Nutella, golden and maple latte, which, if I can stray off of my standard oat milk latte one day, I might have to try out. They have a full menu as of last week (omelet grilled cheeses?!), and a full case of pastries at the check out line. Loved the cheddar and chive biscuit. Great service and really nice staff! read more

Cute little space for coffee and a bagel. It's a small space but they have like 3 places to sit and eat, which I ended up doing. I sat at the front window counter to watch all the cute dogs walk by. I had a hummus and veggie bagel which was great and a hot matcha. The've got vegan an non vegan options, so I had multiple choices to choose from. The staff was really nice and brought my sandwich out to me. read more

Lovely cute coffee shop that I discovered quite by accident on a side street of Cobble Hill.

Homey new coffee stop along Smith Street! I came here on a cold winter morning to do a little reading and was delightedly surprised and warmed by the tasteful americano that they made for me. They have other espresso drinks available as well as pastries of course! Very pleasant inside-vibes and nice people. Didn't walk in expecting too much but really happy that I did! read more

Everything was delicious! Mushroom Florentino omelette with the salad was our favorite.

I am a pretentious coffee snob so this is valid and reliable. Yes to cafe volkan all day. Lattes are yummy and wake you up. Best parts About this spot; they have elite coffee in LARGE sizes! A lot of better coffee spots only serve in one size but here you can get better coffee in bigger sizes. They have this specialty item called " Turkish coffee" it's served in an ornate glass cup and comes with a jolt. It's not a to-go item but definitely something a coffee lover or caffeine junkee needs to try. Oh and also it's a great spot to do work in and they have some great small bites. It doesn't try to be cool it just is. A boreum hill favorite! read more
