But they also LOVE their regulars, kids and pups alike, and make sure the delivery guys get a warm cup too. Prices fair for Brooklyn. Menu includes pastries, Bagelsmith bagels, hot chocolate, chai, tea, and matcha. Coffee is Counter Culture. There are seats for about 25-30 people and most tables have outlets. Lighting is a little dim and moody. They are more laptop friendly than other shops in the area and have free wifi. Note that you have to climb stairs to get into the shop, so it's not ADA or stroller friendly.

It may be too wrong to give such high praise for only ever popping in for chocolate cake and nothing more but the monster slice they cut up is always super scrumptious.

I remember trying my hardest to find this spot after my first try; It was hard because the box use to says Little Cupcake Bakeshop but this is simply called Bake Shop. But now that I know this exists and it's much more convenient, their moist chocolate cake is all I need moving forward. Not too sweet like Martha's junk and far more decadent than Mia's (no hate on Mia's though because everything they make is superb).

Cute Gothic Vibes, but Disappointing Service and Cold Food…read more While visiting Brooklyn with friends from out of state, we decided to stop at Ange Noir Cafe for brunch. I'll start with the positives: the café is undeniably cute. The gothic-inspired decor gives it a trendy, spooky atmosphere, and I can definitely see why people are drawn to it. Unfortunately, the experience didn't quite live up to the aesthetic. The café was pretty busy, and I understand that they appeared to be working with limited front-of-house staff. However, the service was disorganized and inattentive. Since we weren't familiar with how things worked, we didn't realize our drinks were supposed to be picked up at the counter. They sat there until the barista eventually noticed us and mentioned that they had been ready. My friends had ordered iced beverages, so it wasn't a huge issue for them, but my hot chocolate was barely warm. Then came the food. We waited approximately 35-45 minutes for our brunch. At one point, there appeared to be confusion about whether our food was supposed to be packaged to go or served for dine-in. By the time we received everything, my breakfast platter was cold. Here's the disappointing part: I genuinely believe my breakfast platter could have been a 10/10 had it been served hot. The food itself had potential, but temperature makes a huge difference, especially when ordering a hot breakfast. To be fair, my friends enjoyed their sandwiches, which were meant to be served cold or at room temperature. Unfortunately, I couldn't say the same about my meal. I really wanted to enjoy this place because the atmosphere is charming and unique. However, good aesthetics can only take a café so far. Service, communication, and food quality matter just as much. Based on this experience, I wouldn't return. If I'm ever in the area again, I'd rather try a neighborhood bagel shop or another café.

I first ordered a chai latte and he said I could do two different syrups so I got the pumpkin and salted maple, though I was worried about it being too sugary so he suggested I could just do half a pump of each. He asked me what the name of the order would be and I said "Aida" (the phonetic spelling is ah-EE-dah). And then I heard the other barista say something along the lines of, "oh Aida, how about 'Aida' rather not be here", pretty rude if you ask me. And then I ordered the spicy nook sandwich. And when another server called my named to grab it she didn't even knowledge me when I tried to thank her and instead she talked to her coworker while I was right in front of her. The sandwich was really good, so was my chai tea. I really like the pumpkin and salt and maple syrups too. I did like all the options for seating although it was pretty packed. I'd say if you have a big party get there early. By 7pm the whole place was filled. There was a huge majong club that came in and took the whole back area, it was so crammed there were lines for the bathroom. Over all I had a good time. I really like the music too just know it gets very busy in there. The employees I would say were hit or miss. The ones that were great though I really liked. Just seem like the ones who didn't really give attention to customers or were kind of rude seemed like they didn't wanna be there.
