This was a coffee shop around the corner from our hotel. We went there each morning. The shop is clean and fairly open with adequate seating. The service is quick and the coffee was fantastic. Highly recommend getting coffee from here

Devoción was delectable! I was a bit skeptical because it was crowded and they don't have syrups on the menu. I ordered their specialty drink (I forgot the name but it had cinnamon) and it was yummy! Full of spices and the espresso was not too bitter. Seating is packed but if you wait a little you can find a spot. Classic New York, great coffee but time consuming because so many people want it too!

Just the bag from this place

So let me tell yall this!!!!!! My daughter went to this quaint shop to buy a pastry . The name of this pastry is the Kouign-amann ( pronunciation: Queen Armand) She was like Ma this is it........... it taste so dang on goood I was like yeah right. I tasted a piece from her and I was hooooooooked!!!!!! Every time I went here to get it(Kouign-amann), it was sold out!!!!!!! It is buttery and sweet and delightful!!!!! They have other great delights here but my focus is this particular pastry!!!!! The customer service here is very polite and sweet ....like the pastryThe pastry ( Kouign-Amann) is stuff with caramel my absolute favvvvvvv!!! Usually they are not stuffed, the pastry..... Also they sell out of the (Kouign-Amann) by mid morning ( like around 11am GET THERE EARLY.....so I think the best time would be early morning..... This place gets lightly crowded so seats may be scarce... This place is great to have a sip of coffee and a snack and great conversation. The space is sweet and looks like a great workspace. Very comfortable and alluring. I give this place a 100/10!!! Absolutely a very kool vibe for sure Recommend highly

What a delicious, strong as I love espresso. I like the aesthetics here, like a little coffee time the woods . The plants make it very relaxing and homey . I wasn't hungry at this point so I only got a mid day pick me up. Wasn't crowded when I was there so I decided to sit for a bit. Drinks are surprisingly not high priced for the amazing quality. My espresso was automatically served with seltzer, ahhh true coffee conisours here , my caffeine hungry soul smiled. Staff was pleasant. Next time I'll indulge in a pastry. The server recommended the guava croissant. A good selection of roasted beans and coffee accompaniments for sale. Bathroom was spacious and clean. Location is close to trains and buses.

Plant island
Raia S.

The interior of this coffee shop is truly insane. There's not a whole lot of seating because most of the shop is taken up by the island of plants in the middle, but even on a busy Saturday it seemed most people were able to find a table or armchair. I've been to the DUMBO location which was less impressive design-wise but still a nice vibe. I've gotten the aromatica both times and really enjoyed it, this time I tried the papaya but will be back for the peach. It's nice to have a fruity tea that doesn't taste so dull like they usually do. The pancito de chocolate was a tad disappointing, maybe because it was later in the day it just felt kind of dense and flavorless. I've heard they're amazing so I'd give it another go, but at this point I'd recommend this spot just to marvel at the ambiance and also possibly grab a famous coffee, which I still have yet to try.

Not impressed at all, service was really slow on Sunday morning , the line was so long , we've got Latte and tea , and it took more then 20 min . The banana bread was tasteless . We've paid $17, kinda pricey

Cozy minimalistic aesthetic with real plant decor in dining area. I like the wide windows and high sealing. It's strictly coffee no other teas like chai or matcha unfortunately. Opted for cappuccino and banana bread. The service is prompt, since they didn't have matcha or chai, I ordered cappuccino with oatmilk and banana bread. The bread was semi sweet and thick. The cappuccino was tasty and airy. I like the oat milk art drizzled on top. The toilets are left of cashier with code access so ask staff first. Very clean and busy atmosphere. Apparently there's no WiFi on the weekdays. Still a great vibe for small meetings/dates.

Nice coffee spot close to the G train! I'm glad they have some decaf options as well, including the aromatica series. I got the apple strawberry mint aromatica iced, which was a bit underwhelming at first. It really didn't taste like much until the tea warmed up, and then the apple and strawberry flavors came out stronger. Service was quick. Extra points to this place for its ambience and decor, as there are some cool plants and generally clean and kind of punky decor. There are some options for seating, though it was full in the afternoon when I went.

Indoor space
Rachael M.

Lots of indoor seating here with a great vibe, lots of plants, multiple types of seating options. We brought a big group here after a run and had plenty of room to sit with our drinks and pastries. I wish they had outdoor seating as well.

iced oat latte
Sarah C.

they forgot my order but it's okay because I checked with them after 5 minutes and they were apologetic about it. the iced oat latte ($7) was pretty good, I liked the espresso base and it wasn't that milky although it may look like it

Croissant
Laura H.

A plant mom paradise. Served the crispiest, butteriest croissant I have ever eaten. Drip coffee was ok, strong in flavor but on the sour side. Tasted heavenly with the croissant. Seating however, is next to impossible to find!! Best to get there early--if you're caught in the 10:30-2:30pm coffee rush, you're toast.

Cortado
Rob W.

Just an oasis in a crowded stretch of downtown Brooklyn. As if Devocion's coffee weren't worth going out of your way for (spoiler alert: it is!), this cafe features an incredibly large, welcoming, utterly delightful indoor space, featuring lush greenery (real or fake, I dunno, but it makes for a charming spot) and a cool little raised platform in the center that feels like a secluded hangout. I'm usually a staunch coffee to-go person--nothing against hanging out, but I'm a New Yorker, I've got places to go ... if I wanted to sit and linger, I'd get tea, right? But this spot is so welcoming it feels hard not to stop for a bit and enjoy that quality coffee. They have a small but interesting selection of snacks and pastries--I tried the Leek Parmesean Turnover which sounded wonderful and tasted even better--pure, melt-in your mouth goodness. Paired with a top notch cortado, it made for an ideal afternoon snack. I would have sat and lingered longer and read, but seems like the word is already out --with its ample seating, it was pretty crowded mid-afternoon, and felt I should surrender my seat to the people I saw peering around anxiously while waiting on line.

My boyfriend and I were looking for a place to have some coffee and do work and Devocion was around the corner from our hotel. I really enjoyed the coffee and pastries. We got one of their new coffee specials which was delicious, it had agave and we both got an iced and hot one. I got the Dulce de leche pastry which I loved! Get it warmed up! My boyfriend got a leek pastry and it was also really good, he got 2! Overall good coffee. The seating is minimal and the seating is kinda uncomfortable but the coffee and pastries made up for it!

I don't love the coffee here. It's too burnt for my taste. The prices are too high. The staff isn't very friendly.

Visited Squarrel Cafe for the first time this past weekend. There was a Danganronpa Halloween…read morecupsleeve event that brought me here. I got the Sparkling Lychee Lime drink as park of the event and absolutley loved it. The event had the space very crowded, but staff worked well to get drinks out in a timely manner. The cafe itself is very cute and probably quite spacious on a normal day. The games look very fun as well! I wish I could have stopped to play one. If I am nearby the area again, I will defenitley stop by again- because that drink was just soooo good!

Lovely little gaming cafe with incredibly helpful staff! Will def come back to try the food/drink!…read more -Came here on a Saturday night with a date. Made a reservation on their website beforehand, but it was surprisingly empty. -Staff was super helpful. It was mostly one guy who was helping us whose name i did not get. We had a lot of questions and he never seemed annoyed and even was very excited to offer game recommendations. -I did not get to try food or drink, but I look forward to next time. The rice bowl looks good. -Everything was pretty clean and they have a bathroom for customers. -The games were pretty worn out, but no pieces were missing. I can say from experience at multiple other board game cafes, that's usually the best you can ask for. -It did not have quite the same expansive game collection as other board game cafes, but it did have multiple options for whatever kind of game you're looking for.

People have left some odd reviews of this place, including a one-star review for the restaurant…read moreapparently being highly politicized--a vibe I neither felt nor could visually identify within or without the establishment. I ordered a single burger and a Sudan spiced peanut butter latte, for ~$15! That's pretty inexpensive for New York City. I note this as some consider it overpriced. I suppose the food is fairly inexpensive, the lattes slightly higher than average. The "burger" comes wrapped in a homemade pita with diced cucumber, onion, and tomato, plus a few crispy, thick-cut fries and a yummy house sauce. It was a cool twist of the traditional burger and had a nice flavor. The sauce was like a slightly Mediterranean version of Big Mac sauce. The girl working as the barista and cashier was very nice and friendly. She had a nice presence and warm smile, made suggestions, and even gave a stranger free utensils when they popped on to ask. I think it's definitely worth checking out, and it's a good place for a cheap & simple meal that's still quirky and fun.

I have wanted to try this spot for some time, and wound up a bit disappointed with what I tried…read more They feature a tahini cold brew, which features two things I love dearly, but instead of a rich cold brew it was overly sweet and icy--more like a slushie. Perhaps I should have anticipated that, or my mistake in ordering. I also ordered a Moroccan egg salad sandwich which was substantive but surprisingly bland--sparse with the advertised capers and pickled red onions to give it more punch. I've always loved the look of the spot and the vibe--funky decor, outside and indoor facing counters to order, with some outdoor seating for people watching on Dekalb or heading nearby Ft. Greene Park. I see they are renovating and rebranding a bit and adding some burger component. While I didn't love it, I'd definitely give it another shot.
