An extraordinarily good cup of coffee. I kept it simple and had a cup of the house brew.. robust. complex. varied. Who knew a cup of coffee could contain all the complexity of a good wine? Cognoscenti drinking cappuccinos seem very happy too. read more

I love this place. I visit often too. The ambience is just great and the food is delicious. We had the avocado toast and waffles with banana and Nutella. Mocha and hot chocolate are the best for me. They are topped with whipped cream of a flavor your choice (like what!! Flavored whipped cream?!). Go there if you want to be by yourself and get inspiration or just to have good coffee :D read more

Best coffee in Bay Ridge, hands down. The coffee is delicious, the staff are amazing (and wicked skilled) and your fellow customers are thoroughly decent sorts. The atmosphere is a bit library-like; lots of people on laptops, despite the shortage of plugs. Loads of freelancers, students, and people working from "home". Truly a great place to work, though maybe not the best place to chill out. Nevertheless, the staff are super friendly and will talk with anybody, a definite plus. Prices are a tad high, but given the quality of the coffee, its well worth it. The sort of place you can come to day after day, as the large number of regulars can well attest to. read more

I definitely like their food more than their drinks. I love their bagels and their avocado toast but the toast is a little bit on the pricier side. I would be giving a 4-star rating, but there was one instance I came in to quickly get a bagel before work. Right after I ordered and paid, one of the employees dropped the last bagel right in front of my face and I had to be refunded and settle for a croissant instead. The croissant wasn't that good; I really just wanted a bagel that day :( read more

I decided to walk in because the name attracted me, and with a name "CoffeeRx" it definitely does draw an attention. I went in and loved the vibe that the place gave. Its beautifully decorated, all the staff are very welcoming and friendly. Love the coffee and the teas as well as the food its simply amazing! read more

Another place that is making me start to love the Bay Ridge. Yummy coffee, plenty of space, chill music/atmosphere, friendly staff; if i lived in the area I would probably be in here every day. I particularly appreciated the fact that my iced cortado was not overly sweet. Prices are typical not super cheap but not crazy (like 3-4 bucks for an iced coffee drink). I will be back anytime I'm in the hood. read more

I really love this coffee spot. Although I find myself making coffee at home, when I'm in the mood for a creamy iced latte, Rx is the medicine I need. It would be nice to have a bit more to go bites of food but what they sell is serviceable. read more

Super friendly service. And reasonable prices too. Spacious and inviting atmosphere - great place to study from first feel. Iced machiatto is 2 espresso shots and a splash of milk and is refreshing. The barista came by to check up on it too, neat stuff! Definitely returning to try other drinks and their bakery goods. read more

First time here. Very clean and the music is nice. They offer free wifi as well has today's local papers. Nice place to come and chat it up with people. They have a nice outdoor area all wooden and umbrellas. The staff is friend and this guy knows how to make a great Nutella Monster. Amazing place. I will come back. read more

Love this place. Definitely what the neighborhood needed - a well-kept, delicious place to get coffee on the way to the subway station in the morning.. or a place to study and relax on the weekend. Before this place opened, I had to go to the 75th street Starbucks which is all in all horrible (I hate the taste of Starbucks coffee + that location has the worst use of space on the inside). Their cold brew is yummy and STRONG. Just what I need for a spring morning. Sometimes I also like to splurge on their Nutella Latte too and I like that it is not too sweet like all things at Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts. Not to mention the staff is so kind! The last thing I want to deal with is a bitter coffee shop employee when I'm trying to start my day or to relax on a Sunday afternoon. read more

I loved CoffeeRx's outside seating area, it was a great place to catch up with a bunch of friends over a cup of coffee. I had the rose latte and the peanut butter condensed milk toast. I love how they use real rose petals inside their drink. Their toast was also thickly sliced and it truly hit the spot. I saw someone's avocado toast in the corner of my eye and it looked really good (it's on my to-get list for next time). The staff was very nice and welcoming, which is always a bonus! It just gets a bit crowed here and it's hard to find a seat. read more

Heard about this new cafe in Bay Ridge near me so I decided to come here to have their coffee and catch up with online correspondence. The coffee is from Toby's Estate which is on par with cafes such as Cafe Grumpy and Gimme Coffee. It's a much better alternative than Starbucks. Nice, stylish decor with a decent amount of seating. Free wifi and easy listening music playing over the speakers. For me, the best seat in the house is by the window where I'm enjoying the breeze drinking my hot coffee. No other cafe quite like this one in Bay Ridge. read more

When I first saw this place my initial thought was, "Awesome! A coffee shop other than Starbucks!" So I recently went in and ordered a latte. First I was happy to be informed that they carried soy (I'm lactose intolerant), but I wasn't too thrilled that it wasn't organic. That's just me. Besides that, I loved the latte! The espresso was smooth and had a nice sweet-like taste. Their pastries run out quick so I didn't get to try anything. My reason for giving it three stars is that there's nothing too special about this place. Maybe The Coffee Lab will be better in due time. read more

My rating: Number of times visited: 3 Short version: All* Brooklyn? 3 stars. This is a tough market places pop up everywhere. Bay Ridge specifically? - 4 stars. It's needed around these parts. Long version: The good is that they have alot of delicious lattes and drinks "other than coffee" that's quite sorely needed. I would hope they would switch it up ...and start getting some additional flavors and stuff to add some variety to their main staple drinks with nutella in them. read more

This Place has great potential if they would LISTEN to their customers needs ! Business hours, a light breakfast menu (Bread, meat egg and cheese on a toasted something), small tweaks to the decor and maybe some board games. Coffee IS tasty, despite someones earlier review and the Staff varies. Some very friendly and chatty, others kind of robotic and cold. Moral of the story, drop by and have a cup of joe. The owners should try a suggestion box and try out a few new ideas. They have great potential to be something more than a cold, sterile place to get a good cup of coffee. read more

A great addition to Bay Ridge, The Coffee Lab offers some of the best coffee I've tasted. Their cafe gives a whole different atmosphere to the neighborhood, and their modernistic interior is personally a breath of fresh air apart from the dingy looks of some restaurants near the same area. They have an outdoor seating area that is satisfactory, and the staff are an absolute pleasure to be around. The coffee is well balanced, but I have yet to see their pastries (maybe they just don't have a display area for them?) Overall great coffee, excellent environment, a good price, and amazing people! read more

Formerly "Coffee Lab", but somebody had a TM on the name and went all "Release the lawyers!" Too bad, because they'd done a nifty job of making it into, well, a coffee lab. The other reviews cover the decor and the offerings. I'll just add that they make the best coffee I've ever tasted, and that covers an enormous volume of coffee over the decades. Well worth walking several blocks past the Starbucks. Get a cappucino, admire the "latte art" heart, and enjoy! I keep a bag of their ground beans in the fridge for when I want an especially good cup at home. Pricey stuff, but you do get what you pay for. read more

THE COFFEE GODS HAVE FINALLY ANSWERED MY PRAYERS!!! We finally have our own amazing coffee shop right in bayride. This place is AMAZING!! From the coffee to the setup and atmosphere of the place and to the staff, everything is perfect. If you have not been here yet you are missing out! Everyone needs to try this place because once you do you will never go anywhere else! read more

I love coming here to study. It's so cozy and staff is very friendly.. I love their teas and sandwiches are so yummy! It does get packed tho.. and not too many outlets for laptops. Wish they had extension cords around. But if you come in charged up you are good to go! read more

I can't express how fantastic this spot is! My first time in Bay Ridge, and I was looking for something hot to warm me up after a 5K early in the morning at the nearby pier. This space is gorgeous with modern, clean lines. When I say "Clean", I also mean that it is immaculate. You could eat off those floors. The staff is fast, friendly, and efficient. They dealt with that rush of racers early Saturday morning like champs. The highlight of my visit was a decadent cup of their Nutella Latte. Did you get that?! DO NOT come here unless you put this on your order. It is rich, creamy, delicious and the perfect balance of caffeine goodness swirled with a generous portion of chocolate hazelnut decadence. As a Bay Ridge newbie, what a fantastic welcome! read more

Go here for great coffee, people, vibes, and service. It also has the bestest ever backyard garden. This must be the (coffee) place. read more

This is my go to study spot. It's a whole hour away from where I live, but everything is worth it. The drinks are good, the interior is nice (quite spacious too), the service is awesome, and there's free WiFi that actually works! :D read more

This place is definitely overpriced...any ice drink you order is 60-70% ice and you're looking at least $5 a cup. The drink isn't out of the world either. Also a cup of water costs you money....not a fan read more

The staff was nice and very informative. Especially when we ordered cold brew, we were told about the process and warned that it's super concentrated. They weren't kidding. And I love strong coffee, but this was whoa. Potent and a little on the bitter side. After I dumped a lot (and I mean a lot) of milk in there I was able to enjoy it. Maybe next time I will enjoy it more because I will know to request lots of extra room for the milk. Or maybe I will try the Nutella monster. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back here at all though. read more

Cute place with a lot of seating. I drink a lot of coffee so I absolutely love really strong coffee. The iced coffee was not watered now and when served in a mason job, it is even better. There food looks interesting even though I didn't have any. Nice staff and clean! read more

I came here to grab some coffee with a friend after the gym. I ordered a latte and it was good. I love that this place doesn't get super crowded, like Starbucks does. They have free wifi and there's a good amount of tables. What made this place really stick out is the outside space they have in the back. There are picnic tables with umbrellas outside. Really cute place to grab coffee! read more

love the coffee lab! the coffee is really delicious, fresh & hits the spot when a sleepy new mom like myself needs it badly. So far ive had the nutella latte, nutella monster (blended frap with nutella), iced cortado & a hazelnut cappuccino..this was all done in a span of 2 weeks! can you say obsessed much? everything was so good read more

Great place and very unique to the area. I tried the cold brew and it was awesome. However, they could do better on the options for pastries. read more

It's South Brooklyn's answer to North Brooklyn's current hipster cafe craze. The elegance of the store and the eclectic selections are there, but with an underlying grit that you don't get in Boerum Hill. read more

So good had to go two days in a row on our two day visit to brooklyn. I don't even drink coffee anymore but made an exception for the Nutella monster with almond milk- yum!! Also splurged on the coconut and almond donuts :) I don't always eat donuts but when I do it's worth the cheat ;) read more

Great place for reading/studying. Great coffee (had an amazing latte) and the almond croissant was top notch!!! Don't be afraid to add a dollop of Nutella! I do kind of wish they had more food/snack options. Even just apples or bananas :) will certainly return! read more

It's all about the NUTELLA MONSTER!!! Love going here during off-peak hours when the weather is nice and sitting in the backyard area, drinking my coffee, and reading my book. read more

Great coffee. But the line is kind of long but I will still give them a 5 stars review due to the kindness of the owner. Thx

Finally, French macarons in Bay Ridge. Nice little coffee shop. We need more places like this. Best place for coffee in north bay ridge.

Their kids ice Nutella is really yummy, but $4.50 is a bit much for me to come back on a regular basis.

Love this place! I've walked by this place a few times but never checked it out. Finally got the chance to and glad I did. I ordered the Nutella Monster and it did not disappoint! I love that they have flavored whip cream to choose from. The place was completely packed, every inch of seating was occupied. They offer free wifi. There was only 1 person working even though it was packed so service was a bit slow. Very friendly barista though! The place was nice and clean. read more

My favorite place to organize my schedules :) no one rash you to go home. Air conditioning is not too cold. Coffee tastes good too, you can refill your coffee for one dollar. read more

Cool and relaxed atmosphere. The banana nutella waffle is what I always get!

I am very happy this place is here. I know the locals are up in arms when they see a coffee shop besides Starbucks in the neighborhood, but it's what Bay Ridge needs. Ever since Aloha Grinds went out of business I've been hoping that someone would open another independent coffee shop. Yes, the coffee is more expensive than Dunkin Donuts or a to-go diner cup of coffee served in a bag, but it's of better quality and the shop itself provides a nice environment to get together with friends that's not a bar. The patio out back is beautiful and the cold-brew is nice and strong, so I suggest anyone who lives in the area to give it a try. read more

Looking for a coffee shop to hang out in while waiting for a friend to finish a race on the pier, I was happy to find this place on Yelp. It deserves the great reviews! Not too loud inside, with a nice ambiance and enough seating for small groups or single people, I had no trouble finding a place to park myself for half an hour. I got something called a Rose Latte, which was sweet and floral, very tasty. I also love that they didn't heat it up too much; it was the perfect temperature to drink. I didn't get any food as I was too early for lunch, but their donuts looked amazing. I would hang out here more often if I were a local! read more
