The jackie chan vegan sandwich was pretty good! They take card and the ambiance of the place is cute too. There's nice plants in the space and cool wallpaper. There's also WiFi. read more

Really cute little place! The food was delicious. Alex is cool, and the other man working there was really nice. My only complaint is that the tea wasn't very good. I don't drink coffee, and I don't know if coffee drinkers are their primary target for a market. So I may just have been out of luck. Also, their vegan muffins are SO TASTY! Well worth the visit!! Beware tho- THEY ARE CASH ONLY. read more

Vegan chocolate cake was the bomb.com!!! Server is always polite and helpful. She did a custom order for me the other day too!

For someone who doesn't always prefer eating meat, Chez Alex has all the perfect options for me. The majority of their menu is vegan, which is perfect. When I first tried the food, it was perfect. I ordered the avocado toast and it was delicious. Not only is the food perfect, so is the climate. The staff is really polite and talkative, in a good way. I also love the set up of the place. The tables are spread apart, just enough for everyone to have their personal space. The plants and decorations just make the place cozy and welcoming. Chez Alex is perfect for people who love to go to small places, with amazing food, and vey polite staff, which is what I expect that everyone wants. read more

Bad costumer service, people aren't outgoing at all. And I think it's bit overpriced, 3,25 for a very small cup of cappuccino? There are way better places in this neighborhood! read more

Goodness. I have to talk about their ginger lemonade. It is simply sexy. The sandwich was delish and I must say I love the chill atmosphere. read more

Definitely one of my favorite spots, not only in Bed-Stuy but all of NYC. The space is very open with lots of plants so that's already a win with me. The menu is half vegan, half non-vegan so there really are options for everyone. Their vegan chocolate cake is scrumptious, but there are two things here that you cannot leave without trying. 1. The everything croissant - just WOW. It's your everything bagel with cream cheese in a croissant. Alex nailed it with this one. 2. The Scully Sandwich - hands down the BEST vegan sandwich (above By Chloe, Quantum Leap, and Champs to name a few) I love everything about this delicious sandwich - the textures, the flavors... mmmmm. Another plus is that Alex (the chef) is in house and she is always creating new offerings. It is a nice switch up from the coffee house that always offers the same 5 pastries. I have tried nearly the whole bar and really haven't been disappointed. read more

WHAT A GEM! I was amazed by everything I ate. It was so delicious and I was having such a bad day, it immediately turned my luck around. I've been having a better life since I tried the sandwiches and sweets here. I can't wait to go back! read more

A wicked spot with great coffee and amazing eats! Vegans are not left behind here as the menu is catered to all. Everything is freshly baked/made in house everyday. Suggestions: - Power Bowl 2.0 is a game-changer - Looking for a sweet treat?...The classic vegan chocolate chip cookie is my personal favourite. - Also...get a sandwich sometime because the sourdough bread is on another level! You won't be disappointed. read more

On my way to work this morning needed to grab breakfast. Stopped in, wait was less than a minute, and the cashier was pleasant, so far so good! Off the bat what caught my eye with the menu was that there are options here for carnivores, vegetarians and vegans alike, no one is discriminated against! lol looked at their baked goods section and note to self* Next time I will be trying their cookies cup pastry! I Ordered a currant vegan muffin and the Scully sandwich but can we talk? I was amazed by both!!!!!! Y-U-M-M-Y!!! The muffin was the perfect size and was not too sweet and the Scully was amazing from beginning to end, the grapes inside added a pop of flavor to each bite! Will I be back? Heck yeah! If I recommend here? Heck yeah! Just please leave me a currant muffin and the cookie cup pastry! read more

Terrible customer service. Accused a friend of reverse racism when we went in today. Rude owners. We need businesses that respect our neighborhood. Notice that most of the poor reviews are from people of color complaining of bad customer service. Instead of improving the become defensive, reply back with nasty statements and attack. Terrible. read more

kind of sailed of to a decent start, not great but gave it a pass with just good enough food and coffee. now i just run into one of the owner guys every morning who is seemingly hungover, dense + in a rotten mood. go to cup of brooklyn around the corner instead. read more

The most perfect cafe that ever was. Kindest owners, best chef, friendliest staff, coziest decor and most delicious treats - including the damn chocolate cake. It's absolutely shameful what has happened to the Fat Albert building - support local business, please! read more

Super cute space and amazing food. Sandwiches are delicious (try the Alex!) and there are plenty of vegan options. Great coffee too!

Extremely Poor customer service. This is my first 1 star review I usually try to give good reviews or find something good about an establishment to comment on when writing a review but I have nothing good to say about this establishment and the customer service they provide me. I placed an order for a cake on Sunday and asked if it could be made for Thursday. I provided the establishment with my name and number and asked about payment. The employee was not sure of price so placed me on hold to ask, when returning to the phone he provided me with the price AND provided me with the option to pay when I picked up the cake up. NEVER ONCE SAID THEY NEEDED PAYMENT 48hrs from placement of order or that it MUST BE DONE OVER THE PHONE. Now to give some background info this is a cake I needed done for my friends birthday she has many allergies and this establishment was willing to or could make a cake not using things she is allergic to. So I was extremely excited to surprise her with this. I had no problem paying over the phone. I called the day before I was supposed to pick up my cake to ask if I could pick it up in the early morning only to have one of the employees tell me they canceled my cake order due to non payment. I was willing to pay then on the phone with them and begged them to still make the cake and asked to speak with the manager who I was told I could only reach via email. When I sent him an email regarding the situation he responded with an extremely defensive email about how I refused to pay over the phone which was NEVER the case. Why would I refuse to pay for a service I was over the moon excited for? But instead of working with the customer and providing me with an apology for miscommunication because I really wanted this cake I was given excuse after excuse and blamed for the issue. The customer is always right. If payment was needed a simple phone call would have sufficed and I would have payed immediately I even offered to pay on the phone when I found out that was why the cake wasn't being made. Not only was the owner Alex rude but he didn't seem to care about the fact that this cake was for a special occasion and literally now I have to break the news to my friend she will have no cake all because this business was not willing to work with me. I ordered more than enough days in advance and there was simply a misunderstanding regarding form of payment . NO ONE CALLED TO NOTIFY ME MY CAKE WAS BEING CANCELLED. And if they would have called I would have most definitely payed for the cake right then and there even when I had initially ordered it I would have paid. Via email the owner even stated that I REFUSED to pay which is completely false he was not on the phone with me and to accuse a customer of that is just way out of line and honestly it is really offensive to me because that is not what happened and I would have been more than willing to pay over the phone if that is what was expected or needed. At the end of the day I am extremely disappointed I was met with so much animosity. No apologies were given to me just excuses and blame. If your ordering any baked goods please think twice purely on the poor customer service and lack of respect this owner has for patrons. read more

The vegan oatmeal cookies are addictive and the owners are so friendly. I started coming here the week I moved to NYC, Im so happy I live around the corner bc I call in to make sure they have these cookies. Spend your money here read more

Fantastic service! The host was incredibly nice and the food was excellent. All around a great place.

Chez Alex Oh chez alex...tis tis tis. So I'm going to have to remind people that customer service just doesn't seem to be something this couple does (well). I wish I could have more to say..like how great their sandwiches and pastries were but I didn't even get an opportunity to order. Rather I was not granted the courtesy that I expect of an eatery with a high quality product. I came in because a friend recommended their sandwiches. The Caputo sounded great but I honestly don't stomach broccoli rabe. It just doesn't land well. Whatever my reason is- I have a right to withdraw an item from an order and most especially from a sandwich concoction. The cook..who I believe is the arrogant wife of the owner...barked at me from her window in the back saying that it wouldn't be the same sandwich. When I say bark. I mean bark. She didn't suggest that I enjoy it in its original form and regale me with information about how complimentary and enjoyable the ingredients would be. Then the front man who I believe is the crazy husband mentioned in other 1 star reviews told me the sandwiches were not premade and told me to take the rabe out myself. All this was snipped at me as he gazed with a look that expressed I was unreasonable and ludicrous. I then politely smiled and mentioned how taking out broccoli would be a waste and then if have ti throw it away..so why not avoid the waste altogether? Makes sense right. I mean this 5 minute interaction shouldn't even had happened. As servers and hopefully experienced restaurateurs they should assume there's a valid reason that I want to alter my food. Have you thought that maybe I could've had an allergy? How about that, rocket scientists? Well I'm proud of the fact that I didn't humble myself to their rude and unpleasant attitude. I walked away and said I had changed my mind leaving them a trail in the dust. Instead I had a wonderful coffee and amazing chocolate croissant at Manny's cafe nearby. Couldn't have made a better decision. In conclusion: avoid this place. Just because they have talked about pastries doesn't mean they deserve your money. Especially after you get to read what they did to the who also rated 1 star. Chasing after customers? Really? How old are you? I wish you would've done it to me. Oh the suprise and schooling you would've recieved....oh my. :) And if you want to write back to this review Ms. Chez Alex you are welcome to. In fact I challenge you to start that Rateyourcustomer.com site you so condescending ly mentioned below. You have alot to learn about service and also about being a kind person. Just wait till the rent goes up..and a more engaging owner opens over you. Just wait. read more

Great coffee, the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had (called The Kevin), amazing service, and lovely atmosphere.

Peaceful and relaxing place to grab coffee and a late breakfast. I ordered the "Red" w/ added mozzarella which I really enjoyed. Not much seating if you're coming during a lunch rush but it's definitely worth the trip if you're in the neighborhood. read more

Bomb place that is hidden. They have toby's estate coffee which i love that roaster. Sandwiches are good & also their vegan chocolate cake. Didn't think it would taste so good! read more

Five stars well deserved. This place is consistent, chill, and the food is BOMB. The menu is small- but everything they make is made with love. You can taste it. What's up with the bread here? That sh*t is good too! So far the best vegan food we've had in the neighborhood that doesn't feel like you got punched in the gut and puts you back to bed. We come here too much. The love is real. read more

Chez Alex - Split the scully w my boyfriend. So good that mid-bite I wanted to take a freakin pic to shout it out to the world: BEST VEGAN SAMMIE EVER - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This place is really amazing. Excellent food and service. Vegan fare is also sooo delicious. I often stop by for a sandwich or one of their bowls and coffee. Certainly worth a trip for a healthish breakfast/lunch or some amazing baked goods. read more

Chez Alex is amazing. Their cookie cups are revered at my house as the second coming (we're really into baked goods), and their sandwiches are top notch too. I often stop by for a sweet treat and am never disappointed. Never leave me, Chez Alex! read more

I finally came back to this place and they were stocked with banana pudding. YES! It is extremely delicious; not too sweet either. I definitely recommend their banana pudding because it is pure yumminess, and you will not hate yourself for eating it, as most sweets in general do. read more

Great ambiance, but way too LOUD! Staff is blaring music while majority of the customers are reading, working on laptops, or quietly working on individual tasks. For a coffee shop that promotes a quiet environment, my past two experiences were contrary. Very cute, quaint, and the greenery and decorations are adorable. Would recommend, but not if you're planning to go to this coffee shop to diligently get any work done. read more

I go here quite a bit so i felt compelled to clarify one matter. I am part of a FB Bedstuy group and have noticed that some people from the group are posting false comments about this cafe merely because in response to an inquiry as to whether it was black owned they said it was a restaurant for all and is human owned. While some may not agree, not sure posting false reviews is the way to go. read more

This is my first experience with Chez Alex. I think the food was very good. The bread a little tough but everything was tasty. The mint ginger lemonade was superb. My husband went to select and take out. I got my receipt via text message. The prices on the receipt were higher than the menu prices plus he came back with an item not on the menu. I sent a message because I wanted clarity before giving my review. The owner said Yelp didn't have their menu. I sent them what was on Yelp. Apparently Yelp does keep up with menu and price changes, maybe it's the owner's responsibility. The owner suggested calling to verify menus and prices. Great idea!! The owner responded quickly to all my questions. read more

Amazing bakery with even better sandwiches. The Kevin sandwich is my go to breakfast sandwich. Banana pudding is also amazing. Friendly staff and comfortable lounge area to enjoy a coffee with their array of sweet goods. read more

I love love love Chez Alex. It's an small open space, perfect for a coffee shop!! Honestly it's exactly what bed-study needed. They have sandwiches, cookies, cupcakes, quiches, coffee and the most delicious smoothie bowls. Everything is reasonably priced and the women who runs it is so sweet. It's a must try for sure!! read more

THIS PLACE IS GREAT! From the super cool neon sign in the window, tucked away in a sea of crazy signage for fusion places, it was like a haven for the short 2 hours we had before I had to catch my flight back to Texas. We picked this place because of other reviews and the vegan/veg options. Oh MY goodness GRAcious - it is GREAT. I had the veg chorizo, I mean I have never had real chorizo to compare to but either way it was GREAT. And they make their own bread! Fantastic!! The guy at the counter was really nice, I realized we were ordering breakfast items just a hair after breakfast closed, so I felt bad. Either way, we all enjoyed what we had. My friend got the Red, veg, and also greatly enjoyed it. I purchased a couple of their home baked goods, including a vegan cupcake, but unfortunately left them in our AirBnb! But they were beautiful and probably tasted AMAZING. Also, the decor inside is so bizarre in comparison to the restaurants and sights around it. I believe it is Orange is the New Black themed?? The sandwich names were def the names of their characters. I'm sure it says so somewhere. Either way, THIS is the spot to go for breakfast or lunch. Awesome cafe close to station! read more

Awesome spot - has an eclectic vibe and a homey feel. Good food too, I had a really good cookie and nice cup of coffee.

Amazing vegan cake!! I absolutely love this place. The employees are always patient and welcoming. For awhile they had a pretty hefty card minimum, I believe it has most recently been $8? Otherwise, this place is great. Best treats in bed stuy. read more

Chez Alex is my favorite neighborhood coffee shop! It's cozy and warm, and the folks there treat me like family. They make the best sandwiches, breakfast and all day. The Kevin is a personal favorite. If you're ever in the area, stop by and get a cup of coffee. Or just come say hello to Alex. She's the best! read more

Magnifique! I have had my eye on this place for the past couple of weeks before our weekend trip to Brooklyn. Honestly, It kind of reminds me of the little baker shops back in France where everything is homemade and created with the finest ingredients. The woman at the front was so warm and welcoming and has the patience of a saint haha. I purchased a slice of the vegan chocolate cake, m&m cookie, vegan chocolate chip cookie, classic chocolate chip cookie, and the "red" sandwich I believe (it's the one with the chicken meatballs) . My boyfriend got the "everything croissant". Each and every single item we ordered was perfectly crafted. All of the ingredients were of the highest quality and you can tell from the taste and the presentation itself. Also the food smelled so good. If you have an appreciation for quality food and a thing for small places be sure to stop by. I'm not vegan or vegetarian but Im lactose intolerant so I really wanted to give the deserts a try and I'm so glad I did. Listen to me, if there's one thing you need to do in Brooklyn it's to stop by Chez Alex and grab some freshly baked treats! You can thank me later :) read more

Good bacon egg and cheese. Makes my heart happy.

Nice place, tasty tofu scramble/soy chorizo scramble sandwich (the Alex) and nice strong ginger mint lemonade. I went in on a weekday morning and it was relaxed with pleasant service and good food. Had to add an update for their vegan double chocolate chip cookies which are amazing!! read more

Stumbled upon this place shortly after moving to Bed/Stuy, and so glad I did! The staff are always super sweet and helpful, and the decor is adorable (from regular tables to comfy arm chairs and a couch). A great place to come study, or read from the stacks of books set out. Above all that, the food is amazing! Lots of delicious vegan sandwiches and pastries alongside the regular fare. read more

Adorable cafe near the border of Bed-Stuy and Bushwick. Came here for coffee with my friend, who, at the time, had just recently moved into the area. My coffee was fine and our server was friendly. I liked the eclectic mix of comfy furniture that you can choose to sit in and either chill with friends or to get some work done. I didn't get to try out their savory items, but I would like to do so if I happen to be in the area again. read more

Ordered the Alex. Didn't take long and it was so good and filling. Really cute causal eating area, big windows for people watching. I came early in the morning so it was hardly anyone there which was great and the AC was on high so it was so comfortable. The guy at the front was very nice read more
