There's a long area for ordering and waiting for to go orders, which keeps everything moving during busy times, and a nice seating area in the back. Restroom is clean. Creative drink options and flawless espresso. Great variety of non dairy milks. Delicious pastries and snacks, as well as some options for a bigger meal. Unlike other cafes it doesn't constantly smell like bacon, yay! Friendly staff and they're open relatively late in the evening. Hope they do well here and stay for a long time!

Stumbled across this cafe one day after getting off the train and desperately needing coffee. On a…read moreweekday morning the shop was quiet with myself being the only customer, allowing me the time to take a look around and thoroughly read through each item on the menu. The staff were kind, patient, and even picked my coffee order for me since I was indecisive! The coffee was smooth and perfectly balanced with the milk and sweetener. I would happily come back with my laptop to take use of their cozy dining area and try one of their pastries. So good!

I heard her making my flat white and then making my bagel. The bagel took 20 minutes for her to make. The flat white was cold and not steamed correctly. The bagel was great, just don't know why it would take twenty minutes. The place is super cute but they seemed to place an emphasis on their food rather than coffee and service.

Based on the recommendation of my chiropractor, I had lunch here earlier this week. Our server from…read moreMoldavia was friendly and attentive and suggested I try their most popular dish - the lamb lulya kebab which is ground lamb that is not overly spiced to allow one to taste the meat. It is served with rice and I found it to be a lighter than its Turkish equivalent. It was served with rice. We also ordered Turkish bread that was served warm. The dining area is comfortable and welcoming. Because this restaurant is set back from the Coney Island Avenue next to a liquor store it is easy to miss - but don't - it's excellent!

This is my first time trying Albanian food and it was absolutely delicious…read more The inside is small but clean and cozy. The waitress was so friendly and hospitable. She checked on us multiple times and was just overall very nice. We ordered the Oofte Arberia, small grill plate, afjar condiment, and French fries. Everything was delicious. The French fries, wow. They were so delicious - perfectly crispy and not oily at all. The perfect shape too. I don't even like French fries like that but I couldn't stop eating them. They also have fresh bread that was made in house - that was delicious with the eggplant dip that we ordered (afjar). The grill platters were so delicious. I would recommend the grill platter so you can try different types of meat. But each meat was flavorful and perfectly cooked. We got a house salad with the meat and it was nice and refreshing. I had a really pleasant and delicious experience. I would definitely come again.

When Cka ka Qellu started getting hyped, as much as I was on the bandwagon, it left with me an…read moreexistential question. Having never tried such delicacies as flija anywhere else before, how could I know if they were being exalted for their own execution or for the dish itself? After trying another interpretation at Arberia, I believe the answer is simply that flija is one of the most delicious savory cakes out there. It's the original Lady M - layers of crepes clearly stacked with copious amounts of butter. I wish the ajvar came with it, but it's worth shelling out a few extra dollars to add a bit of color to the dish.

I tried their seasonal special today (peanut butter sesame latte) not going to lie I was…read moredisappointed. 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 . I had to wait to go home pour my coffee into a mug the scrap the peanut butter off the cup. It's not worth the $9. 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. Maybe I come back for another seasonal drink, but for now their winter drink didn't hit the spot for me.

The food is super fresh, and coffee hit the spot everytime! There's plenty of metered parking, but if you want free parking, you need to park a few blocks off the main area. It's cozy cute spot to sit in and enjoy, I'll have to try that when I return because I was in a rush so had to be in and out so the service was top notch speedy, which is definitely a huge plus and the Brooklyn way!
