    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!

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!

    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.

    Really enjoy this spot, the vibes here are so good. Really great spot to just hang out and catch up with friends, go on a chill short date (don't want to be too committed to a long first date ya know) or as a lot of people do, study/work with the wifi they offer. Lots and lots of people study and work here, so finding a seat might be challenging unfortunately, but there's enough turnover thankfully with the many seats they have. The drinks here are not inexpensive but similar to other spots around. I LOVE the aromatics and have had it many times over the last few years. Really fragrant and delicious, just be sure to let it steep for at least 5mins!

    Oat Cappuccino

    Some of the best coffee in New York City. Devoción is a Colombian coffee company, founded in 2006. They pride themselves on sourcing beans directly from independent coffee producers in Colombia, and having a 10-45 day origin to cup timeline (with most other coffee companies it's 145-365 days). This location in Downtown Brooklyn is effortlessly chic, with lots of natural light, plants, and vintage tile. Unfortunately, finding a seat or working here may be a challenge. At noon on a weekday, the place was packed, with no seats available. I regretted ordering my coffee "for here" as I had to drink it standing awkwardly in a corner. Fortunately, the Cappuccino was exceptional. Rich in flavor, with no acidity, and a delicate melt in your mouth foam. They have a great house-made pastry selection too; the Parmesan Leek Turnover was savory and buttery without being too oily.

    Beautiful work space

    I've been wanting to try Devocion since I walked past the location in Dumbo and was in awe of the decor and the plants. I'm glad that I opted to check out the Brooklyn location because the high ceilings and HUGE plant arrangement in the center of the coffeeshop are breathtaking. The plants and the natural lighting in here are *chef's kiss*. COFFEE + there's no chai tea latte's here (I was bummed, these are my favorite) + not my favorite coffee, wasn't that hot when it came out. A cup with oatmilk substitute was $4.50 + they also had pastries but they didn't look too appetizing tbh SERVICE + I'd asked and paid extra for oatmilk and they put a splash in the coffee. When I'd asked for more oatmilk the barista huffed and puffed like he didn't want to give me more. SEATING/WIFI + wifi was strong, I had no issues getting work done during the couple of hours that I was there + there's lots of plugs right along the walls where seating is + variety of seating options include a couch, single chairs and tables. I had no problem finding a seat here but I did come top of the morning. Later in the day may be more challenging since some folks really camp out here all day getting work done.

Walked in and was able to get a seat without reservation, but it definitely filled up by 6/7 pm. The place is dimly lit and the tables are quite small. For the food, we got their Brussel sprouts, shrimp, salmon entree and chicken entree. Our favorite were definitely the shrimp. But everything else when eaten together tasted a bit too greasy and felt monotonous in terms of flavor. Brussel sprouts were fried and held to a decent amount of oil, then the addition of tahini made it even more oily. Pan chicken we expected whole pieces of chicken but it was more like a thin chicken cutlet. The salmon came with a cauliflower puree which tasted so rich (with butter), but I couldn't finish it bc it was so rich.

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.

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.
