Came in on a whim looking for matcha. I wasn't greeted by the woman who was behind the register. She honestly didn't even acknowledge me, she appeared to be very focused on her side conversation as I stood there waiting to be serviced. I asked about the drink selection and what they consisted of and she was very short and nonchalant with me very dismissive as if her conversation was more important. I still continued looking at the only visual menu I could find and then googled. She then pointed to a menu and I'm like oh you have a menu with descriptions thanks .... She was kinda snooty and not helpful. The drink I got was blue honestly forgot the name because it was nothing to remember. Tasted bland, cheap and lime water. Waste of 8+$. Overpriced honestly. I also tried a thumbprint cookie it was actually pretty good. But I won't be back don't like how I was treated. The vibe inside is a very BASIC cafe set up nothing spectacular at all. They were playing r&b which was cool. Other than that nothing else to say the Caucasian barista needs to do better with customer service, courtesy and overall providing a warm welcome when people enter. read more

Ordered: Iced Blue Dream (~$7): Pulverized Lotus, Butterfly Pea Flower, Ashwaghandha, Astragalus, Chaga, Cordyceps, Reishi, Rose hip, Lavender, and milk Aya's take: Most High looks like the neighborhood coffee shop that you pop into for a quick drink and head on your way. I wanted something cold & refreshing when the Iced Blue Dream caught my eye. It has a lot of good ingredients in it but the rose hip and lavender are what drew me in. Sadly, those flavors weren't very prominent in my drink. The drink also doesn't have much flavor on its own. It's very subtle and every so slightly sweet. I think if there was an option to have this over espresso or matcha, it would be a game changer. Nonetheless, cool spot and nice drink to sip on during my walk. read more

I'll give you this.. Most High is a cozy place to meet friends for coffee in another favorite part of Brooklyn, Eastern Parkway. I stopped by after bookmarking this place because it is right next door to a favorite Vietnamese shop of mine. I was in the mood for a hot chai on a brisk March afternoon and planned to drink it on my way to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. I stepped in and ordered it and the server was friendly and prepared my chai. Once completed she served it to me in a to go cup. The presentation of the chai was impressive( sorry, I didn't take a pic). I paid and left to drink it on the way to BBG. First sip... yikes.. all I can say is a burst of cinnamon hit my palate. Where is the Cardamom ? Ginger? Cloves? Their black tea concoction was.. hard to describe.. I don't mind spending money on quality beverages but $7.50 for a non chai is pretty disappointing. Sorry to say but Most High left me deflated. read more

Most High - Pretty cafe, exterior - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Small, cozy coffee shop thats good for popping in with a friend or solo. Its very small so wouldnt consider it a spot to cowork or come with large groups. I found the coffee to be standard, but nothing special. What was delicious, however, was the tahini chocolate chip cookie I had here lol. Price of the cookie I recall was steep. Overall was a a pleasant experience but not sure if I would seek it out. read more

The Chocolate chip scone and dulce de leche oatmilk latte was delicious on a chilly, rainy Sunday morning. The ambiance is quaint and eclectic. The service was quick and easy and they didn't ask for a tip right away. I will definitely be back when I'm in this neighbor read more

My go-to coffee shop! The woman who owns this shop is amazing and has thoughtfully curated a shop that feels authentic and positive. Her beans are one of a kind, I HIGHly recommend it! Service is top tier and ambience is unbeatable! read more

Dripped by here because it was early (which i appreciate). Super loud music. Espresso was over extracted, flavor is heavy, lingering and unpleasant. Service was quick. Over all not my vibe for a coffee shop but hit the spot when i was visiting the neighborhood. Double shot was less than $4 which i also appreciate read more

I'm just going to say it: Most High coffee drinks are better than Villager. Consistently excellent baristas.

The cafe miel is good--I wanted to try the specialty even though I was concerned it would be too sweet. Luckily it wasn't. It was sweet enough to bring out different flavors in the coffee, but not so sweet it was uncomfortable. There's some counter seating inside and a few small tables outside on the sidewalk. There was no one waiting when I got there, so my coffee was ready very quickly. It's not inexpensive, but it's pretty standard for the area. read more

Discovered this little coffee shop @mosthighbk decorated with photographs - pretty cool! Nice coffee and good spot for a quick catch-up with friends! read more

Decided to try out a new coffee shop in the neighborhood and was not disappointed! the prices were pretty average for the area but the coffee tasted much better than a lot of the other places I've tried nearby. There is a small counter along one of the walls with stools to sit on and just one small table outside with two chairs, so there isn't a ton of seating but the place wasn't super crowded when I came. The drinks were all well made and came out super quick! read more

Most High - iced americano, cold brew with milk, and iced latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

So far I'm pretty happy with this spot! I've been a few times and I like the Afghani chai here. The service is always very friendly. Aside from drinks, they have a good assortment of pastries. The cheddar biscuit is good, and there's a cookie that even they didn't really know what flavor it was but it's kind of a big mix of a lot of things? It tastes mostly chocolate chip like but regardless it was good. This is how my closest coffee/tea shop and I'm glad I like it! read more

Every time I come to NY I have to stop in. The matcha latte is my fav and the customer service is always amazing!!

Wanted to grab a coffee before visiting Brooklyn Museum and this spot did not disappoint. Friendly service and the cafe con miel was perfectly sweet! read more

I've definitely developed a coffee addiction since moving to Brooklyn, and Most High is on top of my list! It's an intimate and conveniently located shop in the Prospect Heights neighborhood featuring local artwork, baked goods, fantastic coffee, and wellness products to further enlighten the day. read more

Most High - Snapped Aug. 20th, 2024 on 1st of several visits during a visit to Brooklyn.www.snappymarty.com - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Great coffee and a great atmospheres despite the small size of the space. Really enjoyed my cortado and had a pleasant experience hanging out on a rainy day and overhearing hipsters. read more

This is a neighborhood gem and my new go-to coffee shop- so much so that I sometimes go twice in one day. The owner is so lovely and is also the barista in the mornings (she makes a mean latte with beautiful depth and none of that bitterness). Most mornings, I come in around 8 AM, and there's maybe one other patron before or after me, but on the occasion I swing by later or I send my husband to pick up our afternoon coffee, there are a few people in the cafe working or chatting. We've also picked up whole beans, which the owner roasts down the street at a collective, so you're truly supporting local! We usually make cold brew with freshly ground beans, and I was so surprised at how fruity and rich the cold brew was. Again, no bitterness! Keep it up, Most High! So glad you are here, hope you're here to stay! read more

I absolutely loved my experience and vision of this young, female-owned business. The owner was incredibly passionate about her selections and explained the tasting notes of each to the point that I had to return to try other items. Miela was so enthusiastic and friendly and seemed to care more about making her customers happy than turning a profit. I read the review about cultural appropriation and find it to be so one-sided and angry. All terms have many different meanings. Most High also refers to Jesus Christ but I doubt anyone of faith would write such a vicious note. Cultural Inclusiveness begins with kindness, conversation and knowledge. Keep up your passion, Miela. People in the community, of all backgrounds, support and respect you. read more

This place has literally become my new go-to ever since a few coffee shops closed down in the area. I have been here a lot of times now and the owner is very accommodating. I dropped some pastries here once and she offered to give me completely new ones for free. Didn't take her up on the offer but I am impressed she gave it out. The owner is trying really hard to give everyone a good experience. Coffee-wise I love the cafe con miel! The honey in it is a great sweetener. Sometimes I just get the normal latte as well and that's pretty good too. Along with the coffee you can buy kombucha and energy based drinks in the fridge near by. Sometimes I will go and grab one to take home for dinner. Overall this a wonderful place. The owner is very friendly and the coffee is high quality! read more

Get the dolce de leche iced. Best item on the menu. The space is small but the vibes are very good.

Latte was too hot and too thin. Barista was also not very friendly. Overall would not come back.

Coffee is definitely high quality and hands down the best chai latte in the neighborhood!

The cafe con meil was so good! Highly recommend and the chocolate almond croissant was awesome! I wish there was more chocolate filling inside but it was great nonetheless read more

Most High - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The coffee is thin and burnt, the barista who served it visibly unhappy to be there. I don't need service industry professionals to be my bestie but it's nice to feel your presence isn't an unwelcome intrusion. read more

I was first intrigued by the cool design of Most High's storefront. Hip hop music was playing when I entered the cafe and they also had very hip & urban decor inside. I agree with previous review that the aesthetic of this place is definitely inspired by African culture. Most High's menu was rather simple but I usually like the cafes with a small menu because that shows that they are very confident in their products. They also sell their own roasted beans as well as other health related products. My husband opted for a latte with regular milk and the barista was friendly. I'm not a coffee person but when I tried his latte it was very foamy and smooth. My husband who's is a self claimed coffee snob enjoyed his latte very much and said it was the best coffee he had in Prospect Heights. Price was more reasonable than coffee shops on Vanderbilt Avenue. The cafe is located on rather quite and gentrified area of Prospect heights and it's very close to Prospect park. I do think we will be back to try their afghani chai! read more

Most High - a bicycle parked in front of a store - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I'm deeply bothered by this place. I stepped in, excited because I thought this spot, given the name and decor, was a Black owned spot but.... It is NOT Black owned. (I asked the woman who worked there) Why this is important/offensive? Most High is a coffee shop full of crystals and various other Black accoutrements, playing Black music, which is literally placed in a historically very Black (more specifically VERY Jamaican) neighborhood, one which has been heavily gentrified. The name CLEARLY refers to the expression Most High which rastas/Jamaicans/Black Americans use to refer to God. This place is literally appropriating our culture *and religion* and masquerading as a black owned place AND ITS NOT. They literally named and designed this place to trick well meaning people into thinking this is a Black/Brown owned business so we will be more prone to support it, knowing they are not. It's so so so so deeply offensive to me that yet another gentrifying hipster would do this - even after allllllll the 97197509105081 talks on cultural appropriation, gentrification, and culture vulturing - that I had to leave. They truly just don't care and just want to take our money. I truly am blown away by the audacity of the owner to do this so I had to leave. read more

Cappuccino was way too hot. Barista did not seem very keen on being there. Overall not an enjoyable experience.

This was a gem of a find for us. After a long afternoon at the Brooklyn Museum, we needed a little pick-me-up, and Most High offered that in spades. On a lark, we tried special of the cafe con miel, and we were taken aback by the artistry of the barista along with the subtle and interesting combination of flavors. We also had a latte which showcased a wonderful texture and care in roasting of the coffee that they use. Would definitely return and would very highly recommend. read more

this place has a dead beta fish floating in a tiny plastic tank on their display shelf in water that looks like it has never been cleaned. one of the saddest things I have ever seen and certainly beyond unsanitary. the person responsible should be ashamed. read more

Whatever you do, don't leave without buying a chocolate chip cookie (or 2). Love this new little coffee spot!

This is the best coffee in the neighborhood, hands down! Every drink I have gotten there is excellent.

Moved to NYC from SF, finding good coffee in NYC is hard. Coffee shops can't seem to roast beans, pull shots or steam and pour milk correctly. This place nails it on all fronts. If you haven't made this your local shop, now would be the time! read more

service was prompt but not gracious. cafe miel has depth and is delicious. playing rap at 8am didn't work for me

The best lattes! My new go-to. Courteous owner/barista who takes the craft of coffee seriously. This place is a hidden gem.

amazing service and creative drinks. the space is pretty small so i would recommend taking your coffee to-go.

This place is great. I don't drink coffee, but their cafe con miel is amazing. I enjoy their teas. The baristas are kind, and the store is aesthetically pleasing. read more

This is my favorite coffee shop in all of Brooklyn and NYC! The quality of the coffee is the best I've had in NYC, and the service is always on point. It never gets too crowded, which is certainly a plus. I love how the coffee is roasted by the owner, Miela, who is also a barista. It's very rare in NYC to have a place that roasts its own beans and has an owner who is around. I've been a specialty coffee enthusiast for many years and have often been disappointed at many places in NYC that are just pumping customers in and out without any care for coffee or for their clientele. Certainly not at this place. read more

Was excited to try this place but they were sold out of everything by 1pm and the matcha was mediocre at best

the place is very cozy inside. good place to read if your book is small. i got the cafe con miel and asked for it extra sweet, it was delicious! read more
