Grabbed a small black coffee to go. I'm no coffee expert though I thought it was excellent. Pricing was solid at about $3 for the cup. They have a cute courtyard area. Lots of tables but all of them were occupied. Service was quick. read more

My friend suggested this cafe, and I can see why. It's a nice spot to get good food and delicious coffee. It's been pretty humid, so I got a caffe ghiacco (apologies for the spelling if that's incorrect) and a breakfast sandwich. The coffee was absolutely refreshing! It was an iced espresso with almond milk. Simple ingredients but of high quality. And I liked that it wasn't overly sweet. The breakfast sandwich was yummy, too. It was a soft boiled egg sliced in half with cream cheese on focaccia. I get eggs are expensive, but for the price of $13, I wish it had a little more like sliced tomatoes included. You could add meat or avocado for an additional cost. There's a few seats inside, and plenty more outside. The back patio has plenty of tables for 2 people, and a few out front. The group tables are inside. I sat in the back, but noticed a bunch of mosquitos coming out from a crack in the wall, so I moved to the front. I'm one of those who attract mosquitos, so if you're like me, then sit inside or out front. The ambiance on a workday is pretty quiet. Many of the patrons have laptops and were taking work calls. There's a sign stating no laptops on weekends, which is nice. And the people who work there are friendly and efficient. My order came out quickly. I recommend this place if you're nearby and want a really good cup of coffee. read more

Corto - Breakfast sandwich and a caffe ghiacco - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Very cute and cozy cafe with a very nice outside area. The crowd is mostly young adults working on the laptop with a coffee. I only had one of the sandwiches which was yummy. I would have liked a little more on the sandwich for the price ($15), but I think the low cost of their drinks balances that out. Will definitely come back! read more

Corto - Benedetta Focaccia - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is surely one of the most pleasant coffee shops in the borough these days. It gets crowded with the MacBook crowd on weekdays, but the pebble-lined garden is tranquil enough to offset any background banter. The simple menu reminds me of Lella Alimentari in Williamsburg, with light piadines on offer. For this first visit, I went with just a shaken espresso, but I'll return for food. read more

Corto - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Under $12 for two oat milk lattes each with an extra shot of espresso! That's pretty damn reasonable in my book Lovely corner cafe in the neighborhood, with a sweet enclosed outdoor patio in the back. No vegan options to eat aside from their energy balls, but I went here for the coffee, so no biggie. They take contactless payment as well, which is great read more

From JFK airport we went straight here for much needed coffee and food. I was looking for a cafe in Brooklyn and this popped up. Knowing how long lines can get in NY I did an online order and was able to arrive and wait only 5 minutes. We were greeted upon entering. The space is small. Each of the tables inside were already taken. There's a small outdoor patio with more chair and also 2-3 tables in front of the door. It was too cold to eat outside so we just grabbed our sandwiches and coffee. I enjoyed my cortado and the sandwiches were delicious and flavorful. Restroom was clean except the light wasn't working so I guess that why they had candles. I'd definitely return when I visit NY again. read more

The sandwiches make me feel ripped off. Cool backyard. When you go inside it feels like soho, and that includes the patrons. That is not a good thing. read more

Came in grabbed an ice latte with oat milk. Place was packed and line went fast and I got my order quickly.

Came here for a late lunch on a Friday afternoon. There was a line when I first got in, but it moved pretty fast. Prices are definitely higher than some of the pictures of the menu so keep that in mind! I got the benedetta and an almond milk cappuccino which came out to $20. Drink came out right away, took a little while longer for the sandwich. Both were really delicious. Also was really nice to sit in the heated outdoor area to the side. read more

It's great to see that thru out the years that the consistency of quality remains and the move to the next door space even makes the place more convenient. Excellent focaccia with fantastic combinations of ingredients that you hardly (if at all) find somewhere else . Highly recommended!!! Definitely a Destination!!!! read more

Really disappointed. Went in and ordered the iced tea and was handed this. It's a 100 degree day and all I wanted was a cold drink. The tea had 0 ice and was lukewarm. read more

Corto - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Extremely rude staff and the place has weirdly strict rules (like not being able to use your laptop despite it being a cafe??). Even with us eating outside and ordering drinks they were extremely rude about us eating a bagel, which we had to bring due to allergies! And while ordering the person behind the counter was mean and allowed us no time to look over the menu before telling us to move aside for other people. Plus half the drinks were unavailable despite it being before 11am on a weekend?! This place is overhyped and not worth it at all. Tried it twice and each time was a horrible experience (the other time they wouldn't allow me to come it cause they were "closed" despite it being an hour before closing. Lastly, the drinks and food are overpriced definitely wouldn't come back. read more

My friends call me a coffee snob because I am only a patron of cofffee shops that use La Marzocco machines- but lucky for me Corto serves up a fine cappuccino with a lovely heated courtyard for laptop-ing, reading or people watching. Their sandwiches are a bit pricey but I love the pure Italian approach that honor each ingredient. My favorite or course is Guttuso ham, robiola, arugula and truffle honey or Depero beef, arugula and parm. Slip in for a glass of wine in the evening. read more

If you're a fan of coffee don't come here. When they passed me my cappuccino I was in awe at how light it was. It was ALL MILK. I asked why was it so pale and they said they only do ONE shot of espresso versus the standard double. Like huh? What? Why??? NEVER AGAIN. The back area is cute and the sándwich was ok I'd go back to try other sandwich's and sit in the back yard to work but the coffee there is a joke and gross. read more

Very conveniently located near our place during our trip, my experiences with the drinks were unfortunately forgettable. I asked for a splash of cream in my Americano and the barista poured way too much. It literally tasted like hot diluted cream. Drip coffee was light yet very bland. Pretty friendly staff at least. read more

Corto is a small coffee shop in the neighborhood we were staying at while visiting Brooklyn. This is an excellent stop-and-go for your coffee or quick pastry before work or even if you need a pick-me-up! There is a small patio out front and around the back, but it probably seats about 8-10 people tops, thus the recommendation of ordering your coffee to go. Friendly service and the open kitchen concept allow you to see where your drink or order is in the queue. The ambiance is pretty and aesthetically pleasing. I highly recommend this spot, especially if you are lucky to find a seat on any of the outdoor tables. read more

The kitchen handles busy service without sacrificing quality. Each dish offers flavor harmony that impresses with every mouthful. I'd forgotten what good service feels like. The dishes here outclass all local alternatives. We plan to return to this restaurant soon. read more

Corto - a man sitting at a table in a courtyard - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Best italian sandwiches in NYC. This place started as a hole in the wall when COVID first broke out. I was looking for a place to eat admist the pandemic. Happy to share that it's still DELICIOUS and feels homemade! read more

Staff is very pleasant, but owner is extremely rude and hostile. I was sternly talked to (as if I were a child) for plugging my laptop into the lone outlet in place of an unused lamp; the owner then demanded which of the staff had told me I was allowed to do that (none of them had--I did it on my own). I asked if the staff was going to get in trouble, to which he replied yes. I then packed up to leave and he followed me outside, demanding to know why I was leaving, and started following me down the block before I had to tell him to leave me alone. It was a pretty shocking experience--this person is not fit to be a business owner. read more

A decent cup of Java but not the best. Kind of weak with the brew and flavoring. Mocha wasn't poppin! Was good because they used Guatemalan java, even though it seemed watered down. VERY Limited in selections, flavorings, milk & pastry options. MUST "UP" their game in this Coffee-centric Thoro' Boro! Service is efficient & friendly. Stars should be 3.5-3.8. read more

the focaccia sandwiches here are some of the best i've ever had. the bread is crunchy and light and airy and insanely delicious. i would subtract more stars for service if the sandwiches weren't so damn good. every time i've been here the service is AWFUL!! i asked for 2 water cups and they only gave 1 so i asked for one more, and the person behind the counter literally threw it at the counter and it bounced at me ?? like who raised you??? anyway... dottori is defos my fave, the meat and cheese aren't funky and the flavors are so yum. kinda expensive for what it is but the bread is just so unique and delicious x i'll be back but my god does this place's service need some serious work read more

This was our first meal after landing in New York. I'd found Corto before coming to Brooklyn and couldn't wait to try it. This cafe did not disappoint! The staff are great and they have a cute backyard patio. I got the Bragaglia Focaccia, a cream pastry, and a cortado. Everything I ordered was absolutely delicious. The focaccia was like biting into a heavenly pillow. The prosciutto and burrata were fresh and light. I wish there was a little bit of arugula because just the tomatoes were a little plain, but it was a really great, light sandwich to start off our trip. The pastry was huge, my partner and I enjoyed scooping up the delicious orange cream after finishing our excellent coffee. Being Italian, I had high standards for this establishment. It was beyond great - I can't wait to come back! read more

I love this place and am blessed to be a block away. Too many wanna-be cafes burn and boil their espresso drinks, rendering them undrinkable and unpalatable. Not this place. Of course the name alone is a giveaway that it is a place where the drinks are done properly. I will not pretend to be nervous each time someone new makes my drink but -- so far so good! read more

Corto - latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Ya know great atmosphere from the looks. One of the staff members slightly aggressive you'll know which one once you go in. It was giving npc people like the type where you try to get out of the house to do work on ur laptop but your just staring at ur screen the whole time. Got iced coffee and came with no ice (crazy I know). Sandwich's are interesting the bread is delicious but you can't make any modifications to them. For the price I'd not get another sandwich.. 2 sandwich's and 2 coffees was $44 but the gentrified building that they're building across from them will eat this place up! Cheers! read more
