    classic and strawberry matcha snowcubes
    Julie Ying X.

    This place is a coffee shop where they're selling snowcubes which are hard to describe. It's tasted like nougat but not as sweet. I received a box of the classic (crackers, dried cranberries, pistachio, marshmallow) and strawberry matcha (crackers, dried strawberries, ceremonial grade matcha, pistachio, marshmallow) flavors. I've tried both flavors and they're both delicious. I prefer matcha since I do like matcha in general. I do like how they're homemade and not too sweet. They're softer than nougat on the outside but the layers on the inside were crunchier from the pistachios/crackers. The handwritten card from the owner Leo was very cute. I can't wait to try the fall flavors! Thanks Morlene and Leo for the sweet snacks!

    9 min walk from the 3 to Bergen I made my way to Everyman Expresso. It's a cute shop with a limited seating area in the front. Upon walking in, I noticed the menu. There's lots of options for coffee and tea, but it's not overwhelming. Inside, I liked that retro looking cooler and the wallpaper behind the register reminisce of the 60s; they're very cool. It's also very warm and cozy. In my bag, I received the strawberry matcha snowcube small box with four pieces and the classic medium box with nine pieces. There's a cute postcard inside as well. Both of the flavors taste pretty good. The small square pieces make it easy to dip in a latte, which I would do to experiment on how it would taste. If you're ever in the area, I would definitively recommend trying them out.

    Wow! The employee was so chill. I had no idea what to expect or even form a judgement, so they were great at explaining things. The snowcubes are great - like a mixture of biscotti and cake. You don't get overpowered from any one single flavor, you taste them all. I would order them for family events. We had espresso too. In particular we had an espresso spritz. Loved it. We took the employee's advice and let it sit for a couple of minutes before drinking it; smart idea, the acidity and bitterness meshed perfectly. I appreciate the opportunity.

    I'm so excited to have gotten into this event! I have tried similar treats to these snow cubes and never knew what they were called! To be able to experience my very own ones was such a treat! Went today and the Everyman Espresso is an adorable little coffee shop and I wish I drank coffee lol they did have other things like tea and hot chocolate, but I was so hot and sweaty that I couldn't see myself drinking any of those so I didn't get a chance to buy anything during this visit. The snow cubes were already packed in a little paper bag and adorably labeled so pickup was easy and quick. We got a medium size box of the original flavor and a small box of the matcha strawberry :) they were so good! Definitely a fan and want to see where I can pick them up next :) I love the texture and it makes me feel like it's an Asian version of rice crispy treats :) Thanks so much again to Snowcubes for the yummy treats, Everyman Espresso for hosting and, of course our awesome CM, Morlene for yet another awesome event! I heart Yelp! =)

    This was a super unique experience! As I sit here, trying to explain what Snow Cubes are, I am befuddled by how to explain them. Every Man Espresso is conveniently located in a bustling section of Park Slope and I stopped in on a quiet Wednesday afternoon. There was only one couple ahead of me in line, chatting with the very friendly barista. I ordered a vanilla latte with almond milk, and was graciously offered a 15% discount because of the Yelp event. It was well crafted but as a former barista, I'm quite picky and was reminded why I didn't frequent Every Man's Manhattan location when I lived nearby, as I find the espresso to be a little too acidic for my taste. But that's just what happens when you're a coffee snob ;) The barista presented me with the cutest little goodie bag that included a small (4 pieces) and large (9 pieces) box of SnowCubes in the classic and matcha flavored. I loved the packaging! The cubes are both chewy and powdery, with the crunchier bits having a taste and texture reminiscent of rice cakes. I didn't love the flavor of the original and found the matcha to be similarly bland. Their "not too sweet" tagline is definitely accurate, as these felt closer to an unsweetened granola bar than a desert. But I can definitely see how they'd be easy to snack on! Thank you Yelp Brooklyn, Everyman, and Showcubes for setting this up!

    I was very intrigued by this, I have never heard of a snow cube, didn't know what it was, and even after looking at them and examining them, took a bit to really understand it. First off, the place is quite nice, staff extremely friendly, and clean. Walked in, was given the bag of goodies, and went on my merry way back home. Got home, snapped a photo, read the card, and then read about them. Tasted them, and, they just aren't my jam. The strawberry matcha ones just didn't hit me well, I got almost no strawberry. I liked the classic much more. As these weren't my jam, I brought them to a friend get together the next day to share, and they were consumed very quickly. One friend asked where to go as lives in Park Slope and will bring his kids there. So in the end, it worked out. Thank you for letting me try this place, 100% would have never found it otherwise.

    This was a cute coffee shop in park slope. We were gifted 2 boxes of snow cubes. They also had some as samples. The sample was strawberry and it was sooo good. I tried one of the originals and it was good. I love rice krispy treats so this was right up my alley. Sweet, but not too sweet. The nuts and chocolate were such a nice surprise. I didn't try the matcha ones just yet. But I'm excited to try them when i come back from my mini vacation. Thank You, Morlene and Yelp Brooklyn for hooking me up! This was the perfect sweet treat. See pics below.

    This is a cozy coffee and tea shop conveniently located on 5th avenue in park slope. Very clean and inviting shop. Only 2 seats available to sit, in the front of the store. Not a sit in environment for large parties. The gentleman making drinks was very pleasant, as soon as he finished with the customer before me, he went and grabbed my yummy snow cubes. I also ordered a Vietnamese latte, espresso with coconut condensed milk, chicory tea and milk. I really enjoyed it, would order an extra espresso shot next time. My cousin had the hearty tea, which she said was very refreshing. Tasted the matcha and strawberry snow cubes and while I do not like matcha, I thought it was delicious, balanced flavor. Sampled the classic snow cube which was also very good, my son thoroughly enjoyed them as well. They also offer a variety of pastries, will give a try next time. Would visit again! Thank you to the Espresso man staff and Morlene for this treat. :)

    What a lovely Yelp event! Thanks Morlene & Everyman Espresso/Snowcube for this fun and casual event. I came on a rainy morning to grab the Snowcubes and got a cup of warm citrus coffee. They have samples of the Oreo & Cherry Snowcube. They were so good I had to get 4 more packs before leaving. They didn't have the match strawberry available for purchase but I'm excited to try it from the sample packs we got from Yelp. Staffs are super friendly here. The coffee shop is small but feels very cozy with the bulletin boards for local ads and the cow wall drawings. Happy to have discovered two amazing local business through this event. Will definitely continue to support both business.

    I picked up these snow cubes bites on the last day. The cashier/barista informed me that there were a lot of Yelp Elites dropped by on Sunday. I informed him that I almost forgot to pick these items up. Moreover, we are penalized by our community organizer if we didn't. It is understandable since these events have a waitlist. Anyway, the "snow cubes" came in two flavors, classic and strawberry matcha. Of course, I like the latter more because I love anything that has matcha flavor. I enjoyed these bites with my afternoon tea. Thank you so much to Morlene C for organizing this event. Also, thanks to the founder of Snowcubes for these goodies. Last but not least, thanks to the owner of Everyday Espresso for opening your cafe; thus, we can pick up these delicious bites.

    We were greeted by two super friendly staff. I was given a bag with two boxes of different flavored snowcubes. The texture was described as a cross between Rice Krispies and biscotti. I'm not sure if I agree but I can't really describe it in my own words. They were unique and not too sweet, which is always a plus in my book. I liked that they also have samples of different flavors to try. We liked the Oreo one! Since we trekked over a mile in humidity to this event, we rewarded ourselves with some cold beverages. The yuzu matcha spritz was already sold out at 2pm so I opted for the matcha latte and my partner got an iced coffee. Thank you for organizing this event and supporting a lovely couple! They apparently operate out of their own homes and primarily do deliveries. Here's their website: https://trysnowcubes.com/

    Made it on a rainy day to pick up these goodies! Did not get a chance to try anything from the bakery itself but the shop itself was very nice and clean. The space itself is a little small so it's definitely a grab and go spot but will come back to try their spritz drinks! Onto the snow cubes- I honestly did not know what to expect from these little cube shaped snacks but it was much lighter than what it looks. Less sweet than what I expected and overall it was a pleasant surprise. I think I prefer the original over the matcha as I feel like the matcha flavor doesn't come through whereas the original tasted just perfect!

    Donna Z.

    Picked up my a large box of original snow cubes and small box of matcha strawberry snow cubes just in time for a get together with a friend visiting from abroad and it was a huge hit! My friend was just going to try one but reached for the other box after taking a bite of one. It wasn't sweet which is great and there was a sweet personalized note included! I also got a yuzu matcha spritz which was good and the friendly employee recognized giving me the 15% off without prompting. Also it was great that they had samples of the last flavor to try. Thank you Morlene and team for making this happen!

I came here around noon and the place haven't been filled up yet but that was truly toward my benefit as my waiter, Jeff was extra attentive (yay me!). He offered me both brunch and regular menu and was very friendly and eager to assist me if I needed it. After making all my choices, he complimented and said I made good choices and whether if that was true or not, it made me felt happy. Lol. All of the food portion were huge. I ordered their wings as my appetizer, shrimp/bacon taco for entrée and tres leche for dessert. With that they also offered me some fresh fried taco with homemade salsa that was really delicious and made me wanting more even though I had to pace myself. Presentation wise, it was all instagramable. They restaurant is very conscious about presentation so that was a huge plus. As for taste, it was all good. I especially enjoy my shrimp/bacon taco as it was huge and those trio-side sauce (hot sauce, green sauce and pumpkin sauce) was just outright slamming. As for portion it was larger then life, especially for one person. Honestly I think it could feed two people as I ended up taking half of it home. Overall, I enjoyed myself, felt really relaxed, enjoyed their playlist and especially my waiter, Jeff that help tied my experience with Tiny Cantina in nicely.

The only gripe I had was seasoning. It lacked flavor which is huge in Latin food. Mexican food is probably one of my favorite types of cuisines because of the fresh ingredients, because of all the time, energy and culture attached to the food so it was slightly underwhelming. A bit bland. But the service was great. Our server was so nice. We got the highly instagramable pizza. It was lovely and very filling but couldn't done with a feels radishes. If you love radishes, get the pizza. The drinks were refreshing and tasty. Definitely recommend checking it out. My Yelp fren had the diablo shrimp which was spicy.

Second - a rose - cute - and lastly - Gruner - which was my favorite they staff paired all our wines with hummus and some veggies - some cheese jam and bread with a side of grapes and a wonderful fresh caesar salad. Everything was great! Things to note - they have happy hour from 5-7 Wednesday - Sunday. Fridays and Saturdays they will be bringing in a DJ - would definitely return to see what kind of vibes that will be giving. They do offer private events and private wine tasting events.

The owner, Elliot, shared how this used to be a bodega that he completely gutted and rebuilt into a plant-based wine bar -- and you can really feel the love he put into the space. Everything we tried was vegetarian, which was actually really refreshing. The olives, the cheese, the bread... simple but really good. The wines were the star though. Most of what they carry is natural wine (Elliot said around 85%), and we sampled a few. The Grillo white was my favorite -- kind of funky in a fun way, like a twist on Pinot Grigio. The place itself is small and cozy, with outdoor seating and just one bathroom (just noting that for people who care). The staff was great -- Kril was behind the bar and super friendly, and Nate and Moises made the whole event feel relaxed and welcoming. Apparently they bring in a DJ on Fridays and Saturdays, which I can totally see fitting the vibe here. And they've got a happy hour from 5-7pm -- plus a private event HH from 3-5, which is pretty cool. Overall, it's one of those spots you can lose track of time in. I would definitely come back on my own.

These three items where under $30 all together, and was grateful to get to be a part of this YEE experience! Shoutout to the Brooklyn Yelp Team!

A great addition to the meal; highly recommend! I couldn't get over how packed my beef brisket pho was! I've been to some places that have way more broth than the noodles ratio, and this place made it 1:1. It was such a comforting bowl to have on such a damp fall day; really happy with the depth of the broth. How could vegan beef broth be so good?!?! What else blew me away was my coworker's vegan chicken in his pho. It tasted EXACTLY like chicken! Great texture and plenty of meat in every noodley bite! The Vietnamese cold coffee was also a very pleasant first time surprise! I've never had it before, and loved how refreshing, light, and sweet it was! It really would be lovely to have on a super hot and humid day, that's for sure. Great depth of flavor in the coffee itself with Lucy's adorable packaging. Come for the vibes; come for the pho; come for the love of Lucy's!

    I am 100% coming back to Lucy's- I am obsessed! The inside is very cozy and cute (great date night…read morevibes), but we took ours to-go so this is their takeout review. The food was packaged securely in their own reusable bags and fully maintained their quality! The shrimp spring roll was big and delicious, and the pho was some of the most comforting I've had in a while. You get a really big portion that is very much worth what you pay, not to mention the smoked brisket is so TENDER, you'll fall in love. I also saved my Vietnamese Coffee (comes bottled as shown) for the next morning and it was SO TASTY. Not overly sweet but still very addicting. Revived my morning. Between the tea or the coffee- go for the coffee. 10/10 experience, I'm excited now to try all the variations on their menu!

    Upon arriving at the Secret Garden, I felt like it was an actual secret place because I walked past…read moreit and then turned around once I realized it was the locale I was looking for. There were prices for different items displayed in more than one spot, and not on just one menu. I decided to just order off the top of my head since I couldn't figure it out. In addition to the Hood Healer and Lentil soup I received, as a Yelp Elite, I ordered some tea. The place reminded me of the type of spot that is local, and ancestral, and kind of like -- just ask and see what is available. It gives a small town feel, in a sense. There are books for sale, which was delightful and the books seemed to be titles of varying genres, all fairly priced. The service was excellent, quick and efficient. And very helpful and very friendly. Now that I think of it, the spot could have been a cafe in Diagon Alley (IYKYK). But on the good side of things. I couldn't see inside of the small window from where I ordered my food, but I'm pretty sure there was some sort of magic going on back there based on how tasty the lentil soup was, in addition to the Hood Healer, which after taking one sip, I said, "mmm" out loud. Both the soup and drink were excellent and perfectly seasoned. I could feel the effort that was put into both items and it felt like it was made on the spot from all natural ingredients. I was very pleasantly surprised.

    Delicious is the one word that I would choose to describe how the taste of the vegan lentil soup,…read morethe hood healer drink and the matcha latte that I purchased. All three menu items were absolutely amazing. The hood healer drink really impressed me. As I sipped my drink, I was intrigued and delighted at the same time by how good it was. Thank you Secret Garden for sharing your business with us and inviting us into your space. Thank you to Yelp and Morlene for this community experience at Secret Garden.

    What a cute little spot & conveniently located near the train station. Altho my google gps was all…read moreover the place, I finally made it on time. liked the decor a lot, giving Kind of a vintage vibe. My first time coming here & to my surprise it was packed. Thank you Morlene for the office hours & my free refresher! I appreciate you & your hard work. This was my first ever office hours with Morlene ! And had a great time with other yelpers. Met some new beautiful people also. Hopefully it will be a new beginning with new friends! I was gonna take pictures with everyone but we were so busy chitchatting I forgot lol..! I tried their iced cappuccino & it was great. They were very nice & gave us some bite sized snacks to try. It was delicious, I will definitely recommend this place to everyone! Thank you guys for everything!

    Surprisingly, it's actually not too far of a distance (more like half an hour) to take the 2 or 5…read moretrain from Times Square to Ciao Bella Coffee in Flatbush. Plus, it's just a short 2-min walk from Winthrop St Stop. You might even miss the spot easily because it's not too noticeable on the corner of a block. Ciao Bella (Italian) = "Hello/Goodbye, Beautiful" in English. Storefront isn't too big and the indoor space is on the smaller side. Nevertheless, the space size doesn't hurt the ambiance + relaxing vibes at the coffee shop. Upon arrival, the funky interior design gives off a vintage yet stylish sense. I see that people are sitting on the sofa & bar stools while drinking coffee and working on their laptops. Besides the indoor seating, there's an outdoor seating area both with red scaffold and ones out in the open with the sun beating down on people's back. Noise level wise is moderately quiet with the music playing in the background. What catches my attention the most are: 1) the glossy wooden guitar hanging on the wall as decorations & 2) a green felt chair with gold designs on the fabric material right next to the couch. I would love to have a comfy chair like that in my living room too. Super quick service from super respectful, friendly and helpful staff. Strong taste of coffee in the complimentary iced mocha that I'm able to order because of Morlene, thank you for treating us with drinks on a humid summer day. And the bonus is, she gifts us each of a studded Yelp tumbler who has showed up for the Yelp Community Event. Thank you to the staff (sorry I didn't get to catch your name) at Ciao Bella who comes out with a plate of Snickerdoodle and Chai cookies for the bites. There's free wifi and even a single clean restroom stall for customers in the back. The small conversation with each other is flowing with new restaurant and cafe suggestions/recommendations for future arrangements and exploring in the city. Everyone is so nice and interactive. I actually like having more intimate events like this at coffee shops because you get to have longer conversations and catch up with other Yelpers. Would like to see more workshop-related events in the future as well. I have stayed for the entire 3 hours for Ciao Bella, but you don't have to if you're in a rush. We're free to just grab a coffee and go or can stay for an hour or two and then leave on our own. No judgment and very chill vibes indeed. Thank you again to Morlene & Yelp for the Community Event invite. Thank you for the cute red Yelp tumbler. Grateful for Ciao Bella Coffee for hosting us at their cozy space.

    What a fun night I had yesterday. Thank you Morlene & Joulie for organizing such a fun night. After…read morechecking in we get to play other games which was fun. Get to meet some new Yelpers! They were very kind & cheerful! Loved it. It was my first time kick axe & I was real scared at first but everyone was so encouraging, especially the staff so I kept trying to have some fun. And I enjoyed a lot after I got little comfortable! Even hit a bullseye lol..! The place is huge with cool decor. Loved the lighting! Liked the atmosphere a lot & didn't felt suffocating like some other places. For the game area they have multiple cages with two lanes per cage. They do instruct you well & also show you how to do it. If you need extra help they are always there to help you out, much appreciated! They had different kinds of snacks with drinks & beers. I tried the mac & cheese bites, pretzels & a soda. It was good, for me little too salty! If it wasn't for Yelp I wouldn't never get a chance to play this game. And I am always up for trying new things, ready for new adventures! Until next time, thank you everyone at Kick Axe throwing for the awesome hospitality & memorable night.

    There is something oddly satisfying about throwing an axe. And there is something oddly terrifying…read morewhen you discover that your long-time friend has an uncanny ability with an axe... I've been to a Yelp event at KickAxe Throwing a few years ago, and that was the first and last time I've ever thrown an axe. Not surprisingly, I was pretty rusty. However, our group had an awesome teacher in Miller, who spent time with us individually to explain the basics and correct our mistake. Pretty quickly we were all able to get the axe to stick on the target consistently, and with Miller's help we also set up a team tournament and an individual tournament. I also enjoyed the cheese & cold cuts board, and the delicious pulled pork sliders with BBQ sauce. Thank you all the people at KickAxe Throwing for an unforgettable event, and for hosting us after the water damage they sustained just a few weeks ago.
