What a cute coffee spot! I was early for a dinner by Carroll Gardens and needed a quick caffeine jolt... and very conveniently, Hungry Ghost is just steps from the train station. Offering coffee, lattes, matcha, ice tea and a few pastry options. It's quiet with a loud playlist, with a few small tables and some seatings outside, open to the public. The cafe was managed by 1 lovely barista/cashier/staff... she ran the whole operation. Taking orders - making my latte - and cleaning all around the cafe. I sat by the door and quite a few moms & kids came in for pastry! Tells me, I may need to return... My latte was just right, a tad of vanilla with a balance of ice to espresso. read more

expensive coffee really wasnt good counter person couldnt be bothered to care about me or my order. the regulars that were walking in and out were taken care of properly will not go back funny thing is in an area where there are coffee places every 5 steps, one would think that they would fight for your business! read more

Hungry Ghost is consistent with their well made drinks and service. I don't frequent coffee shops as much as I use but I find myself returning to Hungry Ghost when I want my favorite: Oat Vanilla Latte. I have also tried their cold brew. They have a points card (10 drinks = 1 free drink). They also offer pastries. The service is always friendly and welcoming. Def one of my favorites around an area filled with a wide range of coffee shops! read more

Hungry Ghost - Oat vanilla latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Good coffee with a friendly barista. The vibes inside are cool. Make sure you get a punch card, because they have locations all around the city! This place is dietary restriction-friendly with lots of different milk options. I ordered an iced latte with regular milk, and it hit the spot. Iced coffees usually taste watered down because of all the ice, but this one was flavorful. I'll be back! read more

The whole neighborhood mourns the loss of Smith Canteen, but a Hungry Ghost has arisen from the ashes to fill the void. If you've ever been in a Hungry Ghost, this location offers the same as all the others: reliable quality when it comes to coffee, tea, and some tasty pastries if you need a little more sustenance. This one is also conveniently located across from the park, in case your stupid baby falls asleep when they weren't supposed to and you need a place to sit a minute, drink some tea, and relax. The staff is nice, too. read more

Such a dope spot. My wife and I rushed here on our way home to crown heights from Jersey because I have a meeting to grab soon. And this is the perfect place to take it. It's beautiful, clean, and minimalist. The bartender is great, I didn't catch his name but he's an Asian tall person lol I think Asian and male sorry. But yes come here for peace and quiet read more

Cashier openly hostile to my mother and laughed her face like a side-show villian. Get over yourself. Woman hating A-hole! The sell Stumptown coffee you can purchase anywhere in nyc... East One coffee on Court street roasts their own. They are also nice to their customers! We will continue to go there. read more

My order for a single iced almond latte has been wrong the last three times I've been into this shop. For $7, I'd strongly consider skipping this spot and going elsewhere in the neighborhood. read more

Just opened this morning (9/13/19) and boy what a quick turnaround after Canteen closed 7/31. First impression: nice space, very similar set up as before. Baristas are quick, efficient and cool. Coffee is all Stumptown. So I feel split about the Stumptown thing. On one hand I can quickly grab my fav cold brew and go if I don't have time to go to the real one on Pacific. Great. Downside is the real one is a much much better space AND has loyalty cards, so I'm gonna get some free from time to time. I also wish they maintained the same value Smith Canteen had, which was to be more sustainable by encouraging use of your own cup or opt for a for here one. Summarizing thought: go here if you need to grab coffee quick before work. So convenient. read more

11/10 I don't usually leave reviews to places but for this one it's a must. I came in for a simple cappuccino which was great and needed my phone charged and they did me the favor. I overstayed my welcome which I apologize for nonetheless the hospitality was amazing. I don't even live near this location but because of how generous the worker(s) are I'm willing to make the trip! Again thank you so much read more

Honestly one of my favorite Brooklyn coffee shops, especially because they are SO consistent! They have their own custom Stumptown blend that has very pleasant, mild chocolate and caramel flavor notes, and they also sell bags of Stumptown's single origin beans, which I love. Their pastries can be a little hit or miss, but I like the whole wheat banana bread when I want something on the healthier side. The real clutch move here though is the King David breakfast tacos. They're really good, and already prepped so it's a perfect quick breakfast. Their iced lattes are some of my favorite come summertime, and the aesthetic of their cafes is super cute for when you can sit inside! read more

I ordered a decaf latte, a typical drink for me. The latte tasted great, but I could tell within ~30 min that it was absolutely NOT decaf. Automatic coffee shop rejection for me. read more

I used to come here every morning but stopped since the quarantine, it was Smith Canteen back then but now is replaced by Hungry Ghost, the decor doesn't change much but the quality has always been so good. Came back this morning for my best duo jasmine tea and chocolate croissant, had never tried the strawberry croissant so I got myself one (sorry forgot to take pics because couldn't wait to eat it ) and also got a hot latte for my friend. Tbh this place has never disappointed me. The male staff this morning was so helpful and super friendly, too bad I forgot to ask his name, would give him a 10/10 for customer service . Will keep stopping by for my favorite picks . read more

Good coffee, environment is fine, and we finally got used to the style of giving the drink order twice--first to the barista and then to the cashier. It was an awkward transition from Smith Canteen. But when did an americano become $4? The prices here are just so much higher than any of the other cafes I frequent, more than the hipper Brooklyn neighborhoods and even more than Noho, where I work, it's just ridiculous. They also don't offer a discount for bringing a reusable cup. At this point there's no incentive to buy my coffee here. read more

Coffee and pastries are good but I mainly come for Julian. Always happy, friendly and just the best!

Great coffee and even better staff, got a macchiato and was not disappointed, the staff here was very friendly would definitely come back again! read more

Excellent coffee. Can't wait to hang out here to enjoy the drinks. But until then - great service, convenient location and awesome menu selections. read more

Love the place and the people but ...it's freezing outside and freezing with no heat inside the cafe (12/19). It's so cold! Treat your employees better! Stay warm y'all read more

Coffee is not as good as other places in the neighborhood. They should try improving the taste a lil bit.

Terrible service. Would not sell me a coffee because I was holding an 8 week old puppy told me to leave the dog outside. The person in front of my was holding a dog and was served so not really sure what the guys issue was read more

Ordered egg sandwich on biscuit. Waited more than 15 minutes. For the price of three perfectly serviceable egg and cheeses from the deli, I got a dense salty brick of cheddar biscuit with overcooked egg on it and what appeared to be melted goat cheese. I asked for pepper jack. I ate it anyway because it was pretty pricey. I'm sure it met my caloric requirements for the day - it was that dense. Coffee might be great - don't know because I won't be back. Or maybe if you're a real Stumptown connoisseur - go for it - the barista seemed very competent. I would know because I got to watch him for 15 plus minutes. But avoid the egg sandwich. FWIW the staff outside the kitchen - the ones I saw - seemed quick and the place is clean and tidy. The three stars is for the sandwich only. read more

Great coffee and lattes - avo toast had wayyyy too much lime or salt, super tart. I wouldn't order it again. I'll definitely go back but will order something else. read more

The cappuccinos are a hit or a miss. The iced cappuccino is solid. But surprisingly their croissants are delicious.

Just wanted to support a local shop and walked in. Might just be the best latte I've ever had! Not overly sweet. Just right
