Still to this day this is one of my favorite cafes in bay-ridge. The atmosphere is super cozy and…read morebright at days and warm and cozy during night. Everyone is super friendly and accommodating here. I enjoyed most of their teas during night time since they do have caffeine free teas which are good. My favorite will have to be the passion fruit tea a with lemon and honey. 5/5! If I would to choose their coffee, I like the davinci turtle. Not too sweet and just right. They have plenty of seating so it is great to hang out or do work there. Overall, I would totally come back to try their other items.

I came here for an early lunch on a Friday. We ordered sandwiches and drinks table side. The…read moresandwiches came out really hot and included a bag of chips. Drinks are all in plastic cups with plastic straws- in fact everything they serve with is disposable. I wish more efforts were made to make this sustainable. Drinks were not great. Both the coffee and my partners Chai seemed off. Its a cute spot.

Boca Del Cielo - Bay Ridge Brunch Gem…read more I stopped by Boca de Cielo in the Bay Ridge area for brunch with the kids, and it turned out to be such a cozy and welcoming spot. You order your food at the front counter, and while we waited, the owner surprised us with a complimentary almond croissant since it was our first visit. It was absolutely delicious -- flaky, fresh, and easily one of the best almond croissants I've ever had. The menu has a great variety of options. We went with the steak and eggs and buttermilk street pancakes. The steak was tender and full of flavor, the home fries were seasoned perfectly, and the pancakes were fluffy and delicious. We also tried the Tropical Bliss Juice, a refreshing blend of pineapple, mango, and orange that's freshly pressed to order. From the warm decor to the amazing food and friendly service, everything about this place was fantastic. I can't wait to come back and try more items on their menu!

Today, I deviated from my norm and got the beet boost (the ginger shined through - which I loved); I got the steak wrap w/o tomatoes - definitely good. This came w/a salad (but your cheapy iceberg lettuce ;) and balsamic drizzle - all in all, a delicious meal. The seating has definitely changed the quality of the food and dranks are still fire

The service here was outstanding, our waitress was personable and brought our food and drinks out quick. Everything we ordered came hot and delicious. As someone who spent a year in Georgia, I can attest the food here is the real deal. I can't wait to come back here again, and would highly recommend!

I stopped by Brooklyn Brew Cafe for the first time while accompanying a friend's daughter who was…read moremeeting her mother there. I had no intention of staying--my plan was simply to walk her in and leave--but she insisted I try one of their cookies and sit for a moment. Unfortunately, that brief visit was more than enough to confirm that this is a place I would not willingly return to. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt unwelcoming. Instead of a basic greeting or even neutral acknowledgment, the woman behind the counter looked me up and down with a visible scowl, as though my presence was somehow offensive. First impressions matter in hospitality, and this one could not have been worse. A coffee shop should feel warm and inviting; this one felt the opposite. The environment itself did little to redeem the experience. The overall vibe was dull and unappealing, lacking the comfort and energy that usually make neighborhood cafés enjoyable places to spend time. Rather than feeling like a community space, it felt tense and awkward. Service and atmosphere are the bare minimum for any café. When both are lacking, it raises serious questions about how the business expects to retain customers. Based on this visit alone, Brooklyn Brew Cafe left the impression of a place that has forgotten the most basic principle of hospitality: treat people like they are welcome. Needless to say, I would not recommend this café to anyone looking for a pleasant place to grab coffee or spend time.

The peanut butter wasn't like mixed into the drink it was just peanut butter spread about the cup. An their cold cups and straws are soooo fragile .

However, if you need a place to study or get your work done this is the place for you. It's super quit and you see everyone on their laptops as well.
