    Fall Season: Toasted Marshmallow latte
    Bri K.

    The local rustic cafe near the heart of Flatbush has grown since the time I first went, 4 years ago! I used to work around the area and as a treat got their matcha or chai latte, which was delicious, in rotation. There were always at least two staff, seats available along with an outdoor space and a considerable wait time. This time around there was a full house and one person working, so the time was a longer but due to the line I was in. My order time was still considerable. It is homey and cozy inside, and service is extremely friendly. The price is higher of course as it is a smaller cafe. I found my fall season order: marshmallow latte light and not overly sweet. While I didn't taste too much marshmallow flavor it did satisfy me on my commute in the winter weather of fall.

    Can't believe I've been coming here for over 3 years. I've been working more from home recently and I'm constantly at Ciao Bella working on my laptop. I feel so at home in this cosy little cafe. It's also amazing that they have late hours - open until 7pm (if not later when having events). Amazing coffee and non-coffee options. Baked goods are out of this world. Overall a 5/5. So glad this little cafe is part of my life.

    Overall rating: 4.8 THE HAM CROISSANTS ARE WORTH IT. Everyone knows it. That's why they sell out by the afternoon the doughnut plant donuts are not. You can get the same ones a dollar cheaper at Ideal Market. I'm still trying to go during their night activities. If you follow them on Instagram, you'll know when that is. The staff is really nice. But since it's a small space, there can be a wait. Usually there's just one person behind the counter. It's already a popular place, but highly recommend!

    I got some hot tea and I like that they charge by the bag and not buy the cup size. Ambience in there was swanky. Definitely a cool place to check out.

    I enjoyed my visit to Ciao Bella and can see why this cafe has 5 stars! It's a very cute coffee shop with a wonderful vibe. Shout to Jessica (one of the owners) who is a pleasure to talk to. I loved learning about her why in creating the space. It's a small but cozy coffee shop. While I wasn't working during my visit, it seems like a few people were. There were people on their laptop, taking video calls, having casual conversations with friends and even playing chess. They have free Wi-Fi and also have a printer and phone charging station. There are several tables to work from, a coach and arms chairs in addition to high table window seating and street side seating (not heated or fully inclosed). Based on CJ (Barista) and Jessica's recommendation we tried the pumpkin loaf (vegan) and coffee cake. The pumpkin loaf was delicious and we demolished it. The coffee cake was good but I personally preferred the pumpkin loaf. For beverages, I got an iced hazelnut matcha latte and my friend the s'mores latte. We both enjoyed our drinks. In addition to coffee, pastries and a cute working space, the host events like comedy night and dance classes. They are open every day and are pet friendly. If coffee shops are your scene or you're looking for a nice spot to work from, I'd definitely check this place out!

    So glad we decided to pop over to Ciao Bella. Jessica, one of the owners, is an absolute doll. CJ made us some delicious drinks - we ordered the s'mores cappuccino, an iced hazelnut matcha latte, pumpkin loaf (vegan), and coffee cake. Everything was delicious. This is a great spot to work from home. Though small, there's two three distinct seating areas: regular tables and chairs, couches/loveseats around a coffee table, stools at a high bar. The music is low enough to still be able to concentrate or carry a regular conversation without straining. The playlist is also fire -- chill r&b and neo soul. They even have a printer on-site for any printing needs. They host events at night like comedy night every first Friday and have libations for happy hour in the evening. Be sure to check this small but mighty coffee shop out.

    Time flew by as I got work done here. The bartista was friendly. With a variety of indoor and outdoor seating, their ambiance is reminiscent of Italy. There are a variety of sweet treats to order here. You can purchase wine as well. This coffee shop is great for getting work done, or catching up with loved ones. I love that Ciao Bella stays open later than most coffee shops. I'll definitely be a repeat customer!

    Iced Chai Latte

    Ciao Bella is a charming coffee shop in the heart of PLG. The owners here a really friendly, and they have a lot of yummy baked goods. My favorite are the Doughnut Plant donuts, and I usually get an iced chai latte to wash it down. It seems that business is treating them well, as there is usually line and filled with customers that use the cafe as a working space.

    Ciao Bella is so much more than just a coffee shop but also a community space known for hosting live music, salsa classes, and more. There's even a printer for all your printing needs. The quilted leather couch invites you to stay a while, browse their collection of books and vinyl, and browse the art they feature from local artists. The owner himself is a musician, painter, and entrepreneur and is one of the chillest business owners I've ever met. The coffee they have here is excellent, with the cappucino being the most standout beverage on their menu. Their chai lattes are also a real treat and tastes delicious with any of their pastries which include dougnuts from Doughnut Plant, empanadas from a local Brooklyn vendor, and their ever popular pumpkin loaf. They're always sure to stock a lot of these because they're so popular. They also own the brand new pizza shop around the corner called Slice Shop so if you're into progressive dining you could start with breakfast here and have lunch at the pizzeria. A recipe for a great day.

    Charsu and I stopped here before making our journey into the city. I was expecting a quick in and out. Honestly, I couldn't have been more wrong. The people here are FANTASTIC! The baristas are friendly and bubbly. One of the co-owners came and talked to every single person that came in. You could tell that he has pride in his business and the community. Quite a few times, when we were talking, he waved or greeted someone enthusiastically. You can tell this is a great local spot. The sense of community and friendship is overwhelmingly positive. Everyone was so friendly. I ordered a sinful chocolate chip cookie. This cookie was moist, crumbly, and delicious. I am still having thoughts about this cookie...it might be borderline obsessive. The cookies are made in house. Some of their other pastries are bought in from local vendors such as the donuts from The Doughnut Plant. (I did get two donuts and they were yummy). I also tried the banana nut pound cake and the cannoli. Both pastries were absolutely delicious. The Banana cake was moist and flavorful. The cannoli was creamy and had a drizzle of amaretto (I think) on top that add extra oomph! They have a chef that comes in during the weekdays to make savory items, such as, empanadas and paninis. I will have to come back for some empanadas :) I also ordered a hot chocolate. I am not going to lie, I was disappointed that they didn't have marshmellowies or whipped cream. However, this hot chocolate was so delicious, it actually didn't even need it. *gasp!* It was perfect the way it was! I would highly recommend this place if you need a sweet treat and/or a delectable drink served by people who care. I would also say stop by if you ever feel lonely or need a break because you will definitely leave with a smile...!

    This is a black owned business! Stopped by on my way to a friend's place for some coffee. I had a chai latte with soymilk (they have non diary option). They also carry doughnut planet donuts - I had the tres leche and it was amazing. They also have empanadas (chicken, beef, pizza and spinach) I must say it was very bland - will not get again. The lady was super friendly and said on weekdays a Korean chef comes by and make more food! Will come again!

    Ohh my gosh. their pumpkin spice bread is thee bomb
    Anya T.

    This cafe did something no one else could do.... They converted me... I actually...like...pumpkin spice now (Dramatic scream). It's true, their pumpkin spice bread, which is more of a buttery sweet pound cake pillow of pumpkin spice has made me a new woman. I even tried their pumpkin spice chai latter, it was f@#ing good. I also tried their regular chai latte, it was nice and spicy and perfectly sweetened. The last time I had their prosciutto pesto sandwich. It was dripping cheese and pesto and was hot and delicious. I'm so happy they offer sandwiches now as well as soup. Before they offered tea, coffee, and traditional pastries and baked goods. The owners are super nice as well. Stop in. Say Hi! Support a local business! Also check out more of my foodie adventures and recommendations on Instagram @saltandsavor

    Very cozy, but not too cozy. Sweet, but not too sweet, pastries. Friendly barristas. Classic coffee house without the attitude.

It's very cozy and homey. But just remember to be courteous, that this is a business so it's okay to do work here but if you're gonna be chilling for a while make sure you're getting some drinks every hour or tipping the 'tender. Also careful with some of the hot drinks they can be really.... hot. I burnt the roof of my tongue on my hot cider drink.

    Got brunch here on a Sunday with a friend. We split the Hot Honey Gem Salad and Hottokeki (Japanese…read moresoufflé pancake). The pancake is gigantic and is absolutely meant to be shared. It was really fluffy and smelled soooo good (reminiscent of the HK street cart waffles). But because it's so big, by the time we ate half of it, we were getting a little tired of the same taste. The salad was good but nothing to rave about. For drinks, we tried the Lebowski-San and Kettl Hojicha Kombucha. It was my first time trying a clarified cocktail and it was really unique. I thought there would be more ice cream honestly but I still loved it. The kombucha though was shockingly tasty. I loved it so much that I bought a bottle online once I got home (they're from Kettl, a local distillery in Brooklyn). The venue is really spacious and I actually planned a wedding here in the past. They host a lot of events and there was even a birthday party happening when I ate there. The only downside is the location. The only train that goes there is the G so it's a bit hard to get to. Food: Hot Honey Gem Salad (radish, buckwheat, fennel, yuzu vinaigrette) 9/10 Hottokeki / Japanese Soufflé Pancake (fluffy hotcake, honey maple butter, sesame) 9/10 Add Mini White Sesame Soft Serve (soy milk, sesame oil) 10/10 - I would recommend just getting this on its own instead of the Hottokeki if you're craving just a little dessert. Drinks: Lebowski-San (green tea shochu, pisco, sakura leaf, clarified matcha ice cream, cold brew coffee floater) 9/10 - This is a clarified cocktail which I didn't expect. I thought I was ordering a matcha ice cream-like drink so although the drink was good, all the ingredients are very subtle in flavor. Kettl x Unified Ferments 'Hojicha' Kombucha (jou yanagi hojicha) 10/10 - This is an absolute must-try!

Last I was here was for brunch and we sat in the outdoor patio area. We got a two things to share and a main each. Shared plates were the soufflé pancake and silken tofu. Both were a miss for me. The pancake had a baking soda aftertaste and also they brought it out right away instead of after we finished our mains so it sat around in the table for a while until we were ready to eat it. Silken tofu had a mediocre flavor palette. There was no variation in texture either, just one plate of mushy items. We didn't finish either one of those. For a main, I ordered a a Wagyu beef bowl. It was really good but on the smaller side. The service was attentive aside from a spillage when the order came. Then they started placing plates on top of the spill instead of wiping the table. Eventually they cleaned it but overall there was lack of training in this case. I am not dying to come back here but would consider if I'm in the area again. I really like the actual space but food/service can improve.
