Freshly made pastries and always yummy. Service was also great and friendly. They set up an outdoor seating area after the pandemic. Strongly recommend it!

Starbucks by the beach was closed. So I used Yelp to find Kaffeine 231, and I am so glad I did!! I got an amazing coffee drink that was a Kaffeine special. It was so delicious!! I also ordered a piece of coffee cake that was maybe the best coffee cake that I have ever had. I love this place!! I am going to bring my wife and have some of their more savory lunch/ dinner items next time!

I came in for a cappuccino before work. Quick and friendly service. The cappuccino was just the boost of energy I needed. There was an option of brown sugar, white and even liquid sugar. I only saw the option of regular milk. While I did not have a sweet tooth when I entered looking at the choices of desserts they had was very tempting. I will plan to return to try one of the desserts.

This was my first time in a Brighton beach area, so also the 1st time seeing this establishment. To say that i was impressed is understatement. From glass windows i could see (Plov = specifically cooked rice with lamb or beef and vegetables) and it looked so tempting! I stepped inside to see the variety of dishes and really appreciated the assortment of sweet and savory options. Everything looked very authentic and appealing, as a Russian I wanted to eat it all. I was very hungry and got that rice with lamb, when ordering it i was also offered a boiled egg, cooked garlic, some cherry tomatoes. Not only it was a perfect portion for 2 people, but also a great leftover food for another meal. The quality and flavor was outstanding. Every time i was closing my eyes, I saw Russian food fairs where i could get such a divine dish. Employees / owners were very kind and hospitable, they made me feel welcome and at home. I will be back!

Pistachio and raspberry cake
Rebecca G.

I'm so glad this place opened in the neighborhood! I went in yesterday and ordered a pistachio and raspberry cake for my mother-in-law's birthday. They were able to make it the same day. The pistachio sponge is so moist, and they used a ton of pistachios in the cake. They also used fresh whipped cream and raspberries in between the layers. And it was only $20 for a 6 inch cake! The prices for everything are very reasonable, and everything is freshly made onsite with good quality ingredients. I bought a few chocolate croissants and they too are delicious. My son loves their cinnamon buns and ice cream. I'm eating a slice of the cake as I write this review. Yum. Highly recommended.

My delicious coffee and macaroons!

New spit that just opened on Brighton, coffee is delicious especially the iced coffee! They have a wide assortment of snack food like sandwiches, spinach pies, etc. It really is becoming my new fav snack spot on Brighton, so far every time I come they have something unique and delicious. Also I bought a bunch of macaroons for my students, and they all screamed and loved them, saying that these are the best ones they've tried. Finally, the place is very well lit and has a really nice atmosphere to it, you come in and you just wanna sit down and relax, now that the weather is nice I can't wait to get in there for a break after being on the beach (the cafe is a block from the beach!), sip some nice coffee, have a snack, and cool off before heading back. Also have to mention, the staff are super friendly and will make your orders exactly as asked, without any problems whatsoever!

See all

Brighton Beach

I've only been to Brick Oven Bread once, and I was Bricking it, because I used to be in the Uzbeki…read moreMafia, and the Georgian Mafia (who run this store) are, let's just say, not too friendly with the Uzbeks. In fact I think we killed several of their 27 children while I was second in command, and they probably killed a few of my boss' kids too, although not the ones she liked best so it was no biggie. Of course once the Kazakh and Latvian Mafia got involved and the majority of our elders had to flee to Moldova, that was the end for me. I got out while I was ahead (sort of) and fled to the United States of Former Soviet Mafia People and never looked back. Okay I did sort of look back a few times but only to make sure I wasn't being followed by former-KGB hit squads. What to get: Khachapuri. What else: Don't go if you're Uzbeki. You will be shot on sight. Unless you're me and know how to dress up like a Moldovan. Brick Oven Bread is a hidden gem in Brighton Beach, way down near Coney Island and all that good stuff. The trouble is that you probably venture down here more often in the summer, and this isn't really summer food, it's winter food. The kind that will fill that little almost-non-existent Hipster tummy of yours in ways that you've never been filled before. What you should order, as I said, is the Khacahapuri which is the Georgian Bread. It's dirt cheap (although dirt is becoming more expensive these days - but not in Georgia), it's enormous (and so am I), and it's indescribably delicious. Which means I'm not even going to start describing it because I wouldn't be able to do it justice. It manages to be charred and doughy and crusty and even a little moist all at the same time. It's big enough for 2 or 3 people to share and the price is shockingly low. I'll be back to try other things one of these days. It's hard when you live 380 miles away from Brighton Beach. If you've never had Georgian food, especially Georgian bread, make the trip down here to Brighton Beach and put some of this in your mouth. Don't worry about the Georgian Mafia. If you come here for their bread, all you've done to wrong Georgian people in your life will be forgiven. So come and break bread with them. But if you Break it: you buy it.

"It's very good", the owner tried to re-assure me as I pointed towards a box of cookies/pastries…read morethat resembled small croissants. She was struggling with the Georgian name (which I later googled as "Baddam Buri") but offered me the descriptor: "pastry with walnut... good with tea". I'm pretty sure if the cardamom had been accentuated more, and the texture had been either crisp or soft (as opposed to neither, perhaps a victim of slow turnover?), it would have been an excellent pastry. But, instead the block of cake that I first pointed at instinctively (Smetannik: sour cream and walnut) turned out to be well worth the $5 price tag (and likely 5,000 calories from the 7 layers of cream!). Located on a residential block in Brighton Beach, hard-to-find, Brick Oven Bread, is perhaps my favorite of the Georgian bakeries in the city -despite the disappointing (with both less crunch and char than at Georgian Bread) long bread (Shotis Puri) and the smaller Khachapuri (that I didn't understand at all - a cross between a Khachapuri Imereli and Penovani - but with no star turn from the vehicle containing the cheese). Beyond the selection of affordable sweets with quality that bests that at other Georgian bakeries (with the possible exception of Taste of Georgia), I really like the warm, Imeruli Khachapuri. Their version of soft white bread contains mozzarella and feta cheeses (again, not the traditional: Sulguni ) but they are blended together in a way not to remind one of the expected taste of either. They too carry a large selection of dips, and salads - Pkhali (spinach) and Lobio (kidney beans) are excellent choices. There's also a lot more to discover here in terms of the selection of sweets. On my next visit, I tried the chocolate cream layer cake - another 12/14 layer cake that seems to be their forte. I really liked the chocolate, which gave a homemade feel to the experience, but unfortunately the succeeding layers of cake were not as soft and moist as I would have preferred. That said, I did have a 5 star experience with the cookie: Nushis Namtskhvari (nut cake) which is made with almonds, and when warm (it was feshly baked on the tray) is the perfect balance of crisp exterior and chewy interior). I will likely be back and hopefully round them up from the current 4.5 stars. Unhappily, the Georgian bread and cheese binge is likely to ensure that I show up at nearby Brighton Beach wearing an exotic outfit in the warm summer months... the male version of a Burqa!!!
