Finding a coffee shop to work out of in this time of remote work is really challenging in many…read moreparts of Brooklyn. Most of the best places are too crowded to ever find a seat, and others are intentionally inhospitable to laptop parkers, for understandable reasons. Capitalism is a b*ch. I was hopeful when I saw photos of Nostrand Cafe's long bench that looked primed for coworking. Turns out said bench can get rather crowded, and you better hope your laptop battery holds up, because there are no outlets. I squeezed into a corner seat, but was happy to just hang out for an hour to work while I sipped on a matcha latte and ate my bibimbap. Which brings me to perhaps the most noteworthy aspect of this cafe. It's that they also serve Korean food. Find anything from kimchi fried rice to bibim gooksu and shin ramen on their menu. I also see now that they even sell soju, beer, and kombucha on tap, which I find a bit peculiar since they close by 5pm. I may add this to the coworking cafe rotation, but if anyone has cafe recommendations for a spot that's easy to work from and also serves savory food, I'm all ears.

Popped in for a breakfast wrap, added bulgogi and kimchi for extra flavor. Absolutely delicious and…read morefilling. Loved this take on a breakfast wrap! Interior is a decent size that includes multiple 2 person tables, a large communal table and a window ledge for solo seating. I also got an iced honey latte which was the perfect amount of sweetness. Service was nice and fast. I'd definitely return!

Stumbled upon this awesome coffee shop when my initial selection turned out to be closed! When I…read morewalked in, I was immediately impressed at the vibe inside with the beautiful artwork on the walls and lots of places for seating. The front of house person was very patient with me while I read over the menu and even gave me a sample when I asked about how the Mufarwar coffee would be iced, which I ended up ordering. The coffee was great and next time I'm in Brooklyn, I would love to try some food. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area and it seems like some of the proceeds go to a good cause!

Coffee was decent but overpriced. There's no syrups other than simple, so just be warned if you are…read morewanting other syrups. My biggest issue was the staff being curt and rude. They also did not clearly let us know when food / drinks were ready. Not a very welcoming space. Overall wouldn't recommend. In other words: if I wanted to pay $11 for a bad coffee and getting my feelings hurt, I'd go hook up with a frat man and pay for my taxi home

My first reaction is that they should really have wifi, I'm sorry but that is the primary use for a…read morecoffee shop for many of us in 2026. However, they make up for it with their delicious and actually substantial food menu. I got the shrimp tempura burger served on a homemade wild rice cake bun and it was delicious, crunchy, savory, a little messy and fell apart but worth it. There's surprisingly a decent amount of seating, quiet electronic music, friendly staff. It's a good neighborhood spot for a coffee or treat and I had a good work sesh there.

Firstly, it's super cute, pink, and floral! It's almost tropical. There also happens to be an amazing amount of seating/space (although as someone who used to be in Manhattan, I'm also naturally used to very little space). We ordered the Nutella banana bread (~$5.75) which was SO good. It was moist and flavorful. This was the highlight. I also got the red velvet latte (~$6.50), which was good, but in hindsight I think it would've been better hot. The iced latte was lukewarm. The barista was a real superstar. He was hustling around a very busy cafe on his own. Props for that!

Great crepes--I tried the chicken and the crepe itself is so pillowy with a little bit of sweetness that works really well with the savory filling, and the sauce has a lovely citrus note that completes the dish. I'd recommend eating in, they have a few nice tables inside and some outside as well, it'll take a little while to prepare your food. They have some fun drinks too, which I'll have to try.

There were many different seating options and inside felt appropriately warm on a cold day, very cozy. I didn't get a chance to try any food but I had a Cinnamon Hot Chocolate and it was soothing. I'm not a huge fan of chocolate so I was grateful that this hot coco was more cinnamon cream than coco. Outside of that, I want to give a shoutout to the older woman who was a dishwasher. She was lovely my whole time there and we talked for a bit about the cafe. It sucks that I forgot her name but I could tell she is the best part of service there. I would come back here just to run into her again. Thank you so much ma'am!

I stopped by and ordered a New Mexican with pork sausage, cold brew and a coffee cake. The New…read moreMexican was made fresh and was so hot. The flavor was good, although the green salsa could have been a little spicier in my opinion. My one complaint was that there was a hole in the foil wrapping the sandwich, so the sandwich kept dripping through and it was super messy. The coffee cake was good but the walnuts all sank to the bottom, so it felt a little unevenly distributed/every bite was different (it may be my personal preference that it be evenly distributed, others may not care). Service was friendly and fairly quickly and there's plenty of seating on the back patio. This is a fun little find! Would definitely come back and try more sandwiches.
