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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

Erika P.

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!

Harsha P.

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.

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

Simply put: the best cafe and snack restaurant in Cobble hill/Boerum hill. I've lived on Smith st. for nearly 4 years and have tried every spot around here, nothing compares to the quality, freshness, hospitality and customer service of this amazing place. No matter what time I come in, Volkan or Leah (the owners) greet me with the warmest energy - even behind their masks you can tell they're smiling. They use the BEST organic ingredients -- like the most delicious bread, fruits, and vegetables. & finally as Brazilian I can attest that their Açaí is delicious. Thank you for all you do! The neighborhood is better because of you! read more

I moved to the area one month ago & walked past this place every day while walking my dog. Ever since leaving the North Shore of Oahu, I've craved a good acai bowl. I've tried so many places since leaving Hawaii & I've found most places try to over complicate something that is best left simplified with a focus on the quality of ingredients themselves. I can officially stop my search. The acai bowls here are so delicious and satisfying. They taste the way acai bowls are supposed to taste. Meaning, there's not a bunch of unnecessary ingredients blended into the acai base itself or unnecessary honey drizzled all over the fruit (huge pet peeve). Also, the staff is so friendly. It feels like a neighborhood spot & has a great vibe. I really want to try other things on the menu because everything sounds delicious, but I can't stop myself from ordering the same acai bowl every time I walk in. Oh, they also keep the cutest bowl of dog treats if you happen to have your pup with you. 10/10! read more

I was a daily loyal customer for a while until I was lectured and scolded by the owner. I usually go there around noon until closing with my laptop and work while having lunch and several cups of coffee or tea until closing. Yesterday I stepped outside for a few minutes and when I returned I was told not to leave my stuff on the table and go outside without informing him. Honestly, I felt like a kid being scolded by a parent. Really? I have been living in this neighborhood with my wife and son for almost 17 years and never had such unpleasant experience in any of the other coffee shops in and around the neighborhood before. That said I will take my business somewhere else. . read more

I used to go to the other cafés in the area but I find myself only at Cafe Volkan now. Their espresso is as good or better than Blue Bottle, Stumptown, Devocion and the owners who are always there behind the counter and are so gracious and welcoming. The vibe is very serene and and there are a few perches inside as well as three tables outside and benches. What they offer is a real neighborhood feeling. A place that's not overproduced and branded but is beautiful and serene. And again, have I talked about the espresso served in pale blue/green ceramic cups always with a side of sparkling water? And the very kind and personal service? They also have a menu of food and pastries that are excellent. Great wi-fi, and I always meet people who feel like chatting there.

I have been disappointed with their matcha latte's, they are very inconsistent. It's a small narrow space so when it's very busy during the weekend, I feel like a packed sardine waiting for service. Baristas are friendly.

I've given Bittersweet a couple tries, but have left disappointed most times…read more I appreciate that their prices are reasonable, and its proximity to the park, but drinks and food haven't been great. Their espresso drinks are little too acidic/burnt tasting to me and the chai latte is SO watery. It barely has any chai flavor.. not sure if it's because I substituted milk for almond milk? But I don't think that should matter I've also tried their jalapeño cheddar scone which was quite dry. Their sandwiches seem to be popular which I'm still open to try, but I'd definitely skip on the drinks

Had the best pandan foam latte of my life thus far here! The cast iron egg skillet chorizo platter…read morewas also yummy, but smaller than expected from the picture on the menu + for $18.50. The workers were sweet and professional - asked me if I had any questions right as I went up to the register and the drinks/food came out in a timely manner. The tables are a little small for 2 people, but great if you're going solo. The wifi worked well. I do also like that they reserve tables "without laptops" which can be more enjoyable for people who want to eat/drink/socialize rather than work. Overall, would revisit!

Its a nice cafe. The coffee is good. But I dont get the hype. The staffs are friendly. Thats about…read moreit. The coffee is overpriced even for nyc standards. The coffee cups are small too. I came here on a Saturday where it was supposed to be open till 5pm. When I got in and ordered they didnt mention anything about the updated closing time. They kicked out all customers exactly at 3.30pm. Everyone were clueless. I would've gone elsewhere had they just given a head ups. It's not great when you charge me over $10 for a small cup of coffee and then kick me out 1.5hrs before closing time on a chilly day.

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.

This place is great. Excellent food, which you might not expect from a place that looks mostly like an excellent coffee shop.
