It's a unique place but you have to be selective with their food. The soups are great and so are the home made bakery goods, havent tried coffee. Considering this place is run by unsophisticated 20 somethings fresh outta the old world barely standing Ukraine or Belarus I'd say the service is good. I wouldn't order their sandwiches or salads just based on the cleanliness of be place. I'd visit again the interior looks orderly and welcoming. read more

So happy that I can update my negative review i left one year ago. Now everything here is great - food and staff. Finally they hired polite people! read more

The coffee is ok but cheap (more than I can say for many other spots on Sheepshead bay). Their food is really good though, as is their fresh baked dried fruit biscotti. read more

I'll be forever rooting for this place because they are a neighborhood staple. The line always stretches outside the front door, rain or shine during peak hours but it goes by quickly so don't get off line :) Even with a newer Starbucks opening up across the street, there is no comparison to the quality and value you will get from Coffee Spot Cafe. I have lived here for over a decade and every morning order my chocolate raspberry iced coffee or my French vanilla iced coffee. If you're in the mood for something sweet, the breads and pastries are all made fresh until they sell out and let me tell you, they are all out of this world... the apple cranberry slice, vegan chocolate cheesecake, cinnamon banana walnut bread... the list goes on and on. I've sat and had eggs, sandwiches, salads and soups from here as well and the service is always friendly and the girls at the counter always remember us "regulars" and what we order. They are cash only and by all means - good for them. I will happily support them. They're prices are so affordable that you really can't complain about being cash only. Thank you for being such a staple in my life! See you in the morning! read more

POC BEWARE! Menu is intriguing, atmosphere looks inviting, but the staff is not. As a POC, I found this place quite rude and racist. One of the women behind the counter took my friend's coffee order while another staff member poured our soup into to-go containers. I asked the same woman behind the counter for a coffee since she was about to pour a cup for my friend (who was white). She looked at me incredulously as though she couldn't believe I asked her to wait on me then sternly told me that I was already being helped (her coworker took our soup orders and told me to wait, in a very "know your place" kind of tone. She gave my friend her coffee and took the coffee order of the woman behind ne. The staff (who were also white) giggled at her treatment with me. The coffee is good but not worth a trip back to the 1950s. The staff needs to get with the times and show to respect to all walk of life regardless of color, gender identity, etc. WILL NOT be going back to this place read more

I have loved this little gem of a coffee spot since I was a little girl who wasn't even allowed to drink coffee. It's a small vintage coffee shop that offers a great variety of pastries drinks and food. I personally am not a big coffee drinker myself so I do enjoy their vast selections of tea instead, my favorite is the Iced African Nectar. Their food is also yummy. I often recommend it to my non russian friends as the first taste of russian borscht. Their borscht is vegetarian so if you prefer meat in your soup you should probably look for another spot. Oh and let's not forget about the slamming chicken schnitzel. Yumm. Have cash on hand. They do not accept cards. read more

One of my Fav coffee and bakery spots in Brooklyn, I always go there, my fav is latte and their sweet baked thingies. The prices are good as well. Just love it! Very cozy inside, nice background music. read more

I have been here many many times and each time is better than the last. Coffee is delicious; a regular cup of joe, espresso, and specialty drinks are all good. Breakfast is always the bomb and of course their pastries. Service is always good but if you don't speak Russian it can be rough. My only complaint is that it is cash only which is a bummer. Also, It is so small! Don't expect to come here with a group for breakfast this is a grab and go type of place. read more

Place is small but pretty cool. Coffee alright. This place has the best pastries around! You have to try everything ) read more

i found this place on Yelp, and came by for breakfast on a Monday morning. Line to the door, but that was takeout, and I got a table quickly. Open WiFi makes me happy right away. I ordered veg and cheese omelet and coffee. Both were very good, hot and the service was great. I like this local spot, although small, its comfortable and a solid cafe. read more

Used to be great..now the food is not fresh..orders come out massed up.. coffee taste changed ... very disappointing. Im attaching a salad we got-Greek salad with grilled chicken. The veggies looked saggy..tasted bad..brought it back..such a disappointment ..smh read more

Coffee Spot Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

See all

Cozy coffee shop with very unique design, I come here every morning to get my coffee. Nowhere else in the area compares. Tried some of their desserts, very tasty. Definitely recommend it. read more

This is BEST cafe in the neighborhood. Their ambiance is top notch, amazing playlist always gets you in a great mood. They have great service and are always busy. The staff is always friendly and owners are always there giving it a very personal touch. Their food is affordable and delicious. They make their own pastries in house every day so they are fresh and delicious. They also have the best soups and egg salad. Additionally, you will not find a better tasting espresso, well except for Italy. read more

I love that place. Very friendly environment. Girls at the counter are all very nice. The pastry is daily made. I like the pastry with dry fruits. It can be busy at times but when you want to forget about outside world and refresh that's the place to go. read more

Nice spot. Have its own style. Their home made cakes are awesome. Coffee is just regular as for me. Overall good place to dive in for a cup.

Full on attitude for absolutely no reason. I got a seriously dirty look and attitude when I asked for almond milk. They then messed up the order, gave me a dirty look, and started talking to me like a child - even though they realized and admitted to having made the mistake. To top it off they didn't have correct change to give back to me, and then the cashier took part of the change they did end up giving me and put it into her own tip jar. No words, no explanation, no asking for it - just took the money and put it in her tip jar. Find another place for coffee. There are plenty of places within a block or two. read more

The best coffee in all of New York hands down! I drink my coffee black because of them. No sweeteners, syrups or creamers needed. The coffee taste as coffee should, especially the chocolate raspberry. The house made desserts are so delicious that we order whole cakes of them. Delicious array of yummy cakes filled with nuts, berries and cream. They are freshly made daily. No other place can compare and I have been many places in the world. It either comes close or is better! coffee spot coffee is perfection. Hits the spot! read more

worse costumer servise,to the customers who were in front of me, they give fresh food from the oven, and dry food from the counter to me, they hide everything under their table, only those who buy there know what they have, and I was offered a choice of only the dried last pieces from the counter read more

It's typical coffee stop for grab and go, but if you consider to stay and eat something, they have couple tables. Breakfast and bakery are pretty good, you can puck healthy choice like oatmeal with some toping, or something else( pancakes, muffins etc). Also good for lunch, they have soups, salads and sandwiches. Fast service and good food, I would definitely stop by few times a week. read more

The schedule online says open at 730 AM. I come at 830 and with an attitude receive "WERE CLOSED!" They're there just obviously not ready. Coffee machines are broken and are leaking all over the place. You make so much money, can't buy new ones? The girls always have an attitude. read more

coffee was not what I expected, not that flavorful or great, coffee from a grocery store tasted better. customer service was ok. haven't tried the food yet, I dont know if I wanna go back after tasting that coffee. read more

Fill of Russian ladies with attitudes. I'm Latina and wasn't welcomed. I tried to order and the person behind the counter said "I'm with a customer" and walked away... So I waited and than after two min she came back and said "what do u want".... I mean customer service is lacking. She got my coffee wrong and got an attitude when I told her it was an ice coffee not a hot coffee. She dumped the hot coffee in a cup and add ice to it. When I got it the ice was melted and the ice coffee was semi hot with a watery taste. I would stay away from this place if your not one of there own. read more

Small arrow coffee shop with predominantly Russian patrons and staff. Don't expect smiling service though it is fairly quick for a latte. The espresso was fairly watery and a little burned tasting so fairly disappointing. Interesting range of baked goods. Be prepared to be in everyone's way constantly due to the small size. read more

Excellent service and amazing food !! I have never been disappointed !!i love the eggs home fries with Russian sausage !!!

Always see the ad in parking lot near Bagel Boy, but never went in here. So glad I finally did (went back a week later, too.) Great food, cute little spot, and dessert to go with the delicious breakfast. read more

They got perfect drinks, food and service! Girls who work there very friendly and professional. The atmosphere in this place is very warm and you feel like you are back in Russia. The owner of this place makes wonderful baked goods which you definitely should try! Delicious and fresh every day! No doubts why this place is so popular! read more

This place is amazing! Every time I happen to walk through sheepshead bay - where I used to work and therefore used to get their coffee everyday - I make sure to leave my house a little early so I have a chance to stop by - cold or hot.. they get every order right, everytime. Plus a medium coffee is just $1.57, and it actually tastes good unlike starbucks over roasted crap! Can't beat it! read more

As I walked into this coffee shop I was very excited to try some of their coffee. I was deeply disappointed in how I was greeted by one of the girls behind the counter. I asked her very nicely, what coffee she recommends because it's my first time here. No smile no interest was given to me. She basically read off the menu that I looked at first. I highly recommend the owner to train it's staff to greet their customers with a smile and knowledge of the coffee and what sell in the cafe!!! The coffee it self wasn't anything special. read more

I had their house blend which was OK. Nothing special, as good as no name brand brewed in the drip. The espresso however was superb with intense flavor. The interior decor is great. Very classy, unique and gives the place a lot of character. Definitely makes this coffee shop stand out. I like the big window facing the street with seating by it. They have a wide selection of gourmet pastries and really cool snacks, which I didn't try but they do look very appetizing. The only down side is their staff. They either seemed angry or prissy, depending on the day and never smile or attempt to appear remotely friendly. Nevertheless, a great neighborhood eclectic coffee shop that serves decent coffee and wide variety of unique treats with far less than ideal customer service. I'd be back. :) read more

Used to love this place. But they keep getting new girls seems like every two days. And new people just don't know what they are doing. I used to come in every day to get my morning coffee and pastry. Now I barely go there. First of all coffee is horrible now. I don't why it just becomes worse and worse each time. And pastry shelves are empty 90% of the time I come in (maybe it's just my luck). They keep giving me the same excuse - the pastry maker is on vacation. Whatever Food is still good tho read more

Best baking goods in the area. Tasty Russian home stile cuisine. Apple walnut is a killa

Came in at around 11:30 with my friend to get some breakfast and coffee to stay. Place was packed with a huge line of people. Nowhere to sit. When i wanted to order the girl taking the order just walked away then the guy who i guess is the manager was extremely rude together with all the other servers. Left and went to tete-a-tete just 2 blocks away. read more

I really don't think people know quality when it's presented in front of their face. This place is great! They make amazing breakfast sandwiches, lunch wraps, salads & so much more. Their soups taste like my moms home made & always make me warm on a cold NYC day. I wish this place was closer to my home. read more

One of my favorite coffee spots in Brooklyn, scratch that in NYC!! Love their pastries, always fresh and always something new to try. Everything has a home made look to it. As well the Russian style home fries are a must try. read more

Really good food and love their soups; feeling like home. Only negative is that They don't have food on the weekends, so retarded.

Tasteless everything. Rude staff. Owner doesn't a f... About anything. A Thank You from staff will cost you a min $10.00 tip.

Amazing and freshly baked sweets. Their menu offers a variety of delicious lunch options. Food is great but wish they stepped it up with their coffee. Also, sucks that I have to have cash when I visit because they don't accept credit cards. Nowadays there's barely any restaurant in NYC that accepts cash only. Take it into consideration Coffee Spot! You guys are great. read more

Rather nice place excellent atmosphere, the service folks are pretty good. And the coffee choices are really good and the food is just right. Prices aren't bad and if you want to sit with your meal and people watch no problem at all. read more

One of the best places for a russian breakfast. I love to pop into this places and just randomly grab something new. The food is tasty and traditional and the coffee is better than most places. read more

This has been my go to coffee spot in the neighborhood for years! The coffee is great, price is great and the girls are always friendly. My favorite drink is an iced hazelnut coffee. read more
