I guess you could say we did the full Locals experience: a surf lesson at Locals Surf School…read morefollowed by a meal at Locals Collective, which shares ownership with, and is only a block away from, the surf school location at Beach 69th. Locals Collective is such a sweet l'il cafe. The vibe is relaxed and lovely, with friendly, helpful staff (especially the woman wearing the ramen cat shirt, whose name I didn't get, unfortunately). The menu is small, but includes some healthy options like the breakfast sammy (with two eggs, avocado, sprouts, tomato, Monterey Jack cheese, and spicy aioli on whole grain toast), acai bowls, wraps, overnight oats and that sort of thing. The breakfast sandwich wasn't very big -- or rather it was a normal size, well filled, but made with commercially standard-size sliced bread, not a hero, sub, or roll -- and was perhaps a touch spendy at $12. The Progeny inhaled the sandwich after snarfing down a sushi roll we'd brought -- and still wanted two large protein bars, after. (I guess surfing cultivates a good appetite.) He said he enjoyed it, though. My iced coffee was a touch weak, but serviceable. There's pleasant seating indoors and out, with a few folks working on laptops. There are quite a few dining options on this particular block, including burritos, pizza, ice cream, and a few full-service restaurants -- but in terms of aesthetics and overall look-feel, Locals Collective takes the win. Surf boards (I think soft tops only) are available for rent at Locals Collective, for $35 / 2 hours. Prices are a bit higher than at Breakwater Surf, which rents for a jaw droppingly low price of $5 an hour -- but Locals does offer additional amenities like changing rooms and a shower, which I'm prima-donna enough to think is worth it. You can also rent a wet suit, which you'll probably want if the air temp is anything cooler than 75F. Waves at Beach 68 are fairly small, but reportedly consistent. We'll be back for more, I'm sure.

It's a really great place to go to, and their prices haven't changed which I think is great as you…read morealways know what you are getting staff there is excellent and never had any complaints about them as they have a lot of seating, two doors for you to come in through rather the front door or on the side. They are right across the street from the subway so it. It's a great spot for foot traffic as well. I have never had a bad experience here and will continue to go.

The people who work there were pretty friendly. Male employee who made my coffee wore a mask but they 2 others didn't. I think they should make a rule to have it on during the entire shift. I know it's hard to breathe but, being safe is a priority. They serve pasteries and baked goods but were stored in a case. I would rather be more willing to purchase if they were individually wrapped just for sanitary reasons. I hope this changes since we live at a time of the pandemic. Thank you for staying open and keeping Brooklyn awake with your wonderful brew!

My roommate and I ventured to Hibiscus brew for an outing and we were not disappointed! In more…read moreways than one, we were pleasantly surprised by this place. Firstly, it's super cute, pink, and floral! It's almost tropical. There also happens to be an amazing amount of seating/space (although as someone who used to be in Manhattan, I'm also naturally used to very little space). We ordered the Nutella banana bread (~$5.75) which was SO good. It was moist and flavorful. This was the highlight. I also got the red velvet latte (~$6.50), which was good, but in hindsight I think it would've been better hot. The iced latte was lukewarm. The barista was a real superstar. He was hustling around a very busy cafe on his own. Props for that!
