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.

Norwegian Omelette
Sarah K.

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.

Iced Matcha Latte

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.

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.

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!

Inside

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.

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

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!

The avocado toast and bagel with cream cheese were delicious. The cappuccino and English breakfast tea were fantastic as well. The staff was friendly, very accommodating, and the atmosphere was pleasant. They also had great vegan options.

Super Food

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.

Omelette grilled cheese sandwich with side salad and cortado
Rob W.

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.

The place
William C.

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

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

Visited Squarrel Cafe for the first time this past weekend. There was a Danganronpa Halloween…read morecupsleeve event that brought me here. I got the Sparkling Lychee Lime drink as park of the event and absolutley loved it. The event had the space very crowded, but staff worked well to get drinks out in a timely manner. The cafe itself is very cute and probably quite spacious on a normal day. The games look very fun as well! I wish I could have stopped to play one. If I am nearby the area again, I will defenitley stop by again- because that drink was just soooo good!

Lovely little gaming cafe with incredibly helpful staff! Will def come back to try the food/drink!…read more -Came here on a Saturday night with a date. Made a reservation on their website beforehand, but it was surprisingly empty. -Staff was super helpful. It was mostly one guy who was helping us whose name i did not get. We had a lot of questions and he never seemed annoyed and even was very excited to offer game recommendations. -I did not get to try food or drink, but I look forward to next time. The rice bowl looks good. -Everything was pretty clean and they have a bathroom for customers. -The games were pretty worn out, but no pieces were missing. I can say from experience at multiple other board game cafes, that's usually the best you can ask for. -It did not have quite the same expansive game collection as other board game cafes, but it did have multiple options for whatever kind of game you're looking for.

People have left some odd reviews of this place, including a one-star review for the restaurant…read moreapparently being highly politicized--a vibe I neither felt nor could visually identify within or without the establishment. I ordered a single burger and a Sudan spiced peanut butter latte, for ~$15! That's pretty inexpensive for New York City. I note this as some consider it overpriced. I suppose the food is fairly inexpensive, the lattes slightly higher than average. The "burger" comes wrapped in a homemade pita with diced cucumber, onion, and tomato, plus a few crispy, thick-cut fries and a yummy house sauce. It was a cool twist of the traditional burger and had a nice flavor. The sauce was like a slightly Mediterranean version of Big Mac sauce. The girl working as the barista and cashier was very nice and friendly. She had a nice presence and warm smile, made suggestions, and even gave a stranger free utensils when they popped on to ask. I think it's definitely worth checking out, and it's a good place for a cheap & simple meal that's still quirky and fun.

I have wanted to try this spot for some time, and wound up a bit disappointed with what I tried…read more They feature a tahini cold brew, which features two things I love dearly, but instead of a rich cold brew it was overly sweet and icy--more like a slushie. Perhaps I should have anticipated that, or my mistake in ordering. I also ordered a Moroccan egg salad sandwich which was substantive but surprisingly bland--sparse with the advertised capers and pickled red onions to give it more punch. I've always loved the look of the spot and the vibe--funky decor, outside and indoor facing counters to order, with some outdoor seating for people watching on Dekalb or heading nearby Ft. Greene Park. I see they are renovating and rebranding a bit and adding some burger component. While I didn't love it, I'd definitely give it another shot.
