This coffee shop exudes an above-average level of mystery. Or maybe it's just because I was reading a Murakami novel early on a Wednesday afternoon, which is a strange time to be sitting in a coffee shop in the first place. My iced latte was very good. The seating is cozy, and this is a suitable space for striking up a conversation should you desire.

Matcha

Very cute, cozy coffee shop. I stopped in briefly for a matcha before barre class. There's an expansive tea list (mostly black if I recall correctly) if you're in the mood for a warm drink other than coffee. The vibe is rustic, warm and pleasant--tied together with a comfy leather couch. There's a small coat rack and enough chairs/couches to seat a few. The staff were friendly.

This is a very cute and cozy spot! The interior is so beautifully decorated despite it being quite small inside. A handful of seating inside as well as some seating outside in the patio in the front. Staff is so welcoming and kind, too. I got a pumpkin crème latte and a honey cake and the cake was delicious. I love when pastries have a good level of sweet and never overly so. The latte was so nice and creamy. I saw they had a jar of dog treats so they must also be pet friendly. I will definitely be back for a visit!

Honey cake

Came here for a morning coffee and ended up getting a little treat in the morning as well. We got the honey cake which was nice soft and crumbly. It wasn't too sweet. It went perfectly with a cappuccino. The two people working there were very accommodating to our drink orders. The coffee shop is small and doesn't have much seating space. The atmosphere has a nice vintage feel to the decor

I have a coffee mood.. sometimes I'm drinking it on the run, sometimes I'm taking a coffee break at work but sometimes.. I need to unwind, sip and actually taste my coffee and make time to just slow..down.... My perfect ambience is a nice comfy environment with cushy couches, plants, pendant lighting, few coffee options and jazz music in the background. Where can I find all of this? Enso Cafe! I needed to have a quiet space to sip delicious chai. Enso offers chai, cappuccino, flat white, cold brew, matcha , protein shakes, wonderful assortment of teas and beautiful pastries. I placed my order for a hot Chai, found my seat and listened to the great jazz music. My Chai was served in a pretty China tea cup. It was light, frothy and had refreshing cinnamon flavors. The space is cozy but the vibe is soothing. It's a great place to read a book, bring a friend or sit absolutely still and enjoy you time. I.. you.. deserve it! Enso Cafe is located on 665 President Street. Take R to Union Street, 4th Avenue and walk to 5th Avenue. When you spot the painted white " cottage" on the corner, you are there!

Such a cute spot, the interior is cute and I bring my dog here , I like to get the meat or cheese crepe or spinach pie.

Lavender mocha

I first came here when they just opened. Met the owner who was super friendly. I have been getting a lavender mocha with oat milk when I stop by. Today I decided to get an almond mocha and it was amazing. Paired well with this caramel oat square. There are a lot of organic flavors to choose from for those you like to add some flavor to their lattes. A cute cafe with a leather couch and bench by the window. Perfect spot to read a book. They also have some chairs outside!

Iced Shaken Espresso with Milk and Matcha Latte

Food here is great. The vibe is a comfortable and cozy spot. We were the only ones not working on a laptop, but then again it was a Thursday afternoon when we came. The furniture and seating gives the feeling that the owner put some thought into it. Music was comfortably loud enough to have a conversation, but quiet enough to still think clearly. The workers are personable and maintain a great neighborhood cafe vibe where they'll remember your name and what you ordered. People who move into this area would be smart to make this a regular! Would absolutely visit again!

Loveeeeee. A great cozy cafe for weekday cafe hoppers who want some quiet time to journal and drink coffee. The interior is so gorgeous and has so many warm wood tones. It's rustic and not sporting the usual artsy, industrial look for cafes I usually go to. Service was friendly, everything felt perfect while the rain drizzled outside. I'd like to try their specialty drinks next time but their matcha was pretty good on it's own! And it was only 5-ish dollars.

Lovely for flavored coffees and quaint cozy atmosphere. Velvet rose coffee was quite nice. Will be back.

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.
