I got there at noon on a weekday. Plenty of space inside and the service was quick, thank you. Nice tables outside on the sidewalk as well, but too much sun for me. Wonderful iced chocolate. BLT on a bagel was fine. I don't care for mayo, and will ask that it be omitted next time. Also I'm not a toasted bagel person, so will ask about that as well. It's the kind of place where such requests can be accommodated. The L and T were fresh - not the case everywhere. Was able sit for a long time and get some work done. read more

Pleasant atmosphere and location, the cafe food is generally very good - light breakfast-y sandwich stuff. Nice if you have work to do on your laptop or looking for a casual spot for coffee in the neighborhood. Some nice outdoor tables in front, on a lovely tree lined corner. Staff is very pleasant. read more

Conveniently located with lots of seating. Their menu has a good variety of warm and cool beverages including smoothies. The windows allow for a lot of natural light which is always plus for me. Service was quick and pretty hands off. read more

You know what's nearly impossible to find in NYC? A weekday brunch spot that opens early, caters to remote creatives, and doesn't feel like a fluorescent-lit rush job. Enter Muse Café & Tea, a true unicorn on the Brooklyn grid. I showed up early on a weekday morning (before 8am!) with tablet in hand, a caffeine craving in my veins, and nowhere else in the borough that seemed remotely open, let alone inviting. But Muse was not just open, it was welcoming. The food? Legitimately great. I had one of their pressed sandwiches with egg, turkey, tomato, and greens, fresh, balanced, and beautifully layered between perfectly crusty bread. Even the side salad was colorful, crisp, and not just an afterthought. Espresso? Bold, smooth, satisfying. The atmosphere was exactly what I didn't know I needed: calm, clean, and warm. I could actually think here. Not a chaotic coworking circus, not a shout-over-the-music brunch party. Just quiet tables, early morning light, and staff who make you feel like you've been there before, even if you haven't. Also worth noting: the menu is way broader than your average café. From omelets and burritos to wraps, salads, and panini combos, you can show up hungry and indecisive and still leave happy. It's rare to find a spot that fills this specific gap: a weekday, early-open café that lets you eat well, caffeinate properly, and even get some work done before the rest of the city wakes up. Muse Café doesn't just get it--they built the whole thing around it. read more

This place is a true gem. From the moment I walked in, I felt comfortable and at home. The energy in Muse cafe exudes friendly-you are welcome here. A really calm and peaceful vibe. There were several people sitting at the larger tables working on their computer. The sign behind these tables specifically says that they are for sharing. There are several blackboards of choices of the food on offer: from breakfast food to paninis, wraps, and home made cookies and pastries. We ordered at the counter, the man taking our order was really helpful. We chose a garden sandwich on multi grain bread. Really delicious. The bread was nicely toasted which was a nice touch. My wife ordered the lox sandwich that was also very good. My black coffee was delicious, fresh , flavorful and not bitter or acidic. My wife liked her latte a lot. We also ordered the almond croissant and a slice of banana bread. These were very tasty, with lots of flavor and most of all, they were not too sweet. Overall a great experience. We'll be back. read more

I was craving a ham and cheese on a croissant and was happy to walk into Muse Cafe & Tea as they had a "hungry man croissant" which had ham, cheese, two eggs & avocado. It was so good! Their iced coffee was good as well, strong but not too bitter and not watered down! read more

Muse Cafe & Tea - Hungry Man Croissant Breakfast - Cafes Near Me - Park Slope, New York

Very nice neighborhood hangout. I met a friend there a couple of weeks ago in the late afternoon, and we had already had lunch, so we just shared a piece of (delicious) banana bread. Even though we hardly bought anything, the very nice fellow behind the counter had no problem with letting us sit there for quite a long time. We sat inside but there is also outdoor seating. I'm not often in this neighborhood (I guess it's considered the South Slope???), but when I am, this will be a great stop. read more

Spent an afternoon working at the shared table space; had a tuna sandwich on a bagel. It was good. Friendly staff and comfortable environment. I personally loved the detail of a dedicated working/laptop area. read more

Muse staff are truly the best. Always a great big smile on their faces. The food and drinks are always great and a wonderful place to work remotely. read more

Great food, coffee and atmosphere. I wish there was a little more seating but it may have just been a busy time. The people were amazing too. I would definitely return! read more

Calm vibes but the banana bread was gentrified We came here slightly faded and had a pleasant time. read more

Great ice lattes for ~$5. Big cups for a small size compared to most Manhattan coffee shops. Latte was super smooth and creamy with a strong coffee taste. They also sell an assortment of pastries with typical American breakfast brunch options. Will like to try that some day! Lots of space outside and inside to chit chat. Great vibes in a cool area of park slope. read more

First and foremost, really good coffee! I love how there is plenty of space for seating, both indoor and outdoor, and the ambiance is very cute. Good service, we received our drink orders quickly and the staff were friendly. The pastries in the display case look phenomenal, but I have yet to try them. Most importantly, really tasty coffee, I have been here twice and I will be coming again! read more

Very cute, unassuming cafe in Park Slope! Pretty spacious with many tables and 2 long communal table. Seems like a great study spot as well (not sure about the number of outlets). The owner and staff were very nice and pleasant and spoke with us for a little bite. We had a lox sandwich and a breakfast croissant sandwich. My friend liked her lox sandwich and stated that the lox wasn't too salty, which she loved. The croissant sandwich was great! My other friend got a chocolate croissant and really enjoyed it as well! Everything was reasonably priced (especially for the neighborhood). Would definitely come here again for a casual breakfast, coffee, or friend catch-up! I'd have to see how often I come back and how consistent the food is to upgrade to a 5! read more

Been coming here for almost ten years. Cozy. Serene. Cute. Delicious. On a beautiful street. Indoor and outdoor seating a plenty. The garden wrap and my new favorite lox panini are staples of my every day cuisine. The folks running the place should win the Oscar for Best Cafe. read more

Coming back to Muse on Yelp 3 years later to let you all know I still give them 5 stars. Muse is the cutest cafe in Park Slope IMO! The outdoor seating for summer is comfortable and a popular option for most. Too sweaty? The inside seating is a safe option as well. Yesterday I had the greek salad with chicken (a little pricey) and it was delicious. I was full for hours because it was a good size. Just wake up? Muse has delicious coffee, bagels, smoothies, and omelettes. It's afternoon? They have sandwiches, salads, wraps, and more. The smoothies are standard and you can customize to your liking. I ask for a peanut butter, strawberry and banana and it's always just sweet enough. The sandwiches are delicious and come with a small side salad. My favorite sandwich is the Pavo, a mustardy turkey and cheese sandwich that is just the right size. The owner is always present, keeps Muse immaculate, and takes great care of his customers. I'm so happy they stayed afloat during COVID. Muse is a Park Slope staple and is a favorite of the mayor and his wife. read more

Muse Cafe and Tea is the perfect gem. The French Toast is immaculate. I stayed in Park Slope for a couple of months this summer, and once I got a taste, I went back pretty much every morning. The salads are also excellent and I enjoyed a wonderful panini or two and very tasty croissants. But the French Toast along with the perfectly made Americano is the stuff of dreams. The staff are very nice and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. read more

Went in with a friend to get a cappuccino and matcha latte. Both drinks were excellent once again and served quickly! There's great indoor and outdoor seating options if you want to stick around. Really enjoy stopping by because they have curated a calming atmosphere at the cafe. read more

Muse Cafe & Tea - Almond Mocha and House Made Zucchini Bread - Cafes Near Me - Park Slope, New York

I want to keep this a secret!! Great menu, reasonably priced and easy to sit and get a table. It's cozy and the service is friendly.

Being relegated to the communal laptop tables feels like a punishment. They're uncomfortable and close to the drafty door. Also, I asked for a coffee "for here" and they gave it to me in a paper cup. To me this is a cardinal sin read more

This place serves some of the best quality "cafe" breakfast in Brooklyn. The avocado toast is always so fresh and tasty, not bland like a lot of places. The side salads are always super fresh also and everything is really reasonably priced. The ambience is great -- it's a super quiet cafe and it's perfect to work/study at for a few hours. They have outdoor tables also which is really nice for good weather days. The only downfall to this place is that the tables aren't always cleaned as people leave -- the last few times I was there, I wiped down my own table with hand sanitizer and a napkin. It is usually only one person working behind the counter so I get that you can't be everywhere at one time. Besides that, i can't recommend this place enough. Super friendly staff and great food! read more

Nothing special. Needs a rebrand or something to make it stand out. Very basic, uninspired, but with prices that match much nicer spots.

Muse is everything you'd want your neighbourhood cafe to be--the food is good, the portions are filling, the prices are fair, the coffee is well made, the staff is friendly, the atmosphere is cozy, and there's ample indoor and outdoor seating options. Their homemade pastries are wonderful, and they will warm them up for you upon request! They have super fluffy, buttery, flaky-on-the-outside croissants that have made me a happy weekend regular. FYI--they add a small to-go surcharge, so if you're not in a rush, grab a table and enjoy your coffee in one of their large, cozy mugs. My one gripe is the "no laptop" policy on the vast majority of the tables inside. They have designated two communal tables for laptop use. I understand the desire to create a certain atmosphere inside and make seating available, but when the place is pretty empty, I find it kinda annoying that they still enforce it. Of course, this is not nearly enough to keep me away from Muse. read more

My first time here at Muse. What drew me over was the pleasant location at the corner of the block, a sunny spot, where dining alfresco (or indoors) is an option. Had the portobello and goat cheese omelette that was fresh and tasty. Great cafe for working and having a delightful breakfast. Will return to try the coffee and other b'fast and salad options! read more

Very nice cafe. Very very pleasant owner and workers. Delicious food excellent drinks extremely welcoming.

I am so excited I've moved to south slope so I can become a regular at Muse Cafe. The wraps are packed, and the omelets are so soft in the best kind of way. Perfect for a light yet filling lunch and the service is excellent too! I can't wait to come back and enjoy another afternoon here! read more

I food is good, the people are nice. But they just charged me over $4 for a can of lemon flavored seltzer. There are no prices listed for the bottle and canned beverages. They are gouging in other areas too. I have a sense that they think they can get away with it because "Park Slope" is filled with rich people. read more

My husband and I LOVE going to Muse. What a cozy beautiful spot to come for coffee, lunch or to get some work done inside or out. Their coffee, smoothie and tea selection is excellent and their food is even better. They have an unreal prosciutto panini with fresh mozzarella and peppers -- delicious. And the prices are very reasonable for the quality and amount of food/beverage you get! The inside atmosphere is spacious and inviting, lots of plants and warm lighting and beautiful brick walls and open seating. The outside seating is clean and comfortable on a quiet neighborhood street corner where you'll enjoy the occasional pup passing by with a tail-wag greeting. The owners are incredibly kind, warm and always around for a hello. I recommend this spot to everyone I can! read more

This is my local. The food and service are always good! However, there is an especially fantastic food item that everyone should know about: their bagel and lox. I custom order it without arugula or capers, just: plain bagel, cream cheese, onion, tomato (which you must specify, as it is not normally included), and lox. There is some kind of inexplicable alchemy that happens here. George, the owner, has explained that they also add a bit of lemon dressing and extra virgin olive oil: the effect is spectacular. It subtly influences the already good lox and bagel, and the other fresh high quality ingredients, and metamorphosizes everything into a stratospheric culinary experience. It is one of the few things I've ever encountered that I could eat three, four, five? times a week. I say in all confidence: this place has as a good a bagel and lox as any place in New York, including Ross and Daughters. read more

Total ripoff. Very small portions and $7 extra for 3 slices of turkey on a salad for a pickup order. I called them back, didn't even ask for a refund, and the person answering the phone was weirdly hostile. Food was average at best. Avoid. read more

Muse Cafe has been a home away from home this past year! I live right up the street and Muse has always been a comfortable place to work from, with good food and quick service. The owners are both lovely and you can feel that there is a lot of care put into the place and how it is run. read more

They should not advertise that they serve their French Toast with maple syrup. I got served a thick gooey, high fructose corn syrup awful thing that ruined my breakfast. When staff was confronted about this, his reply was "  it's not organic. " Well, not only was it not organic, it WAS NOT MAPLE SYRUP. They should not have charged me for my French Toast that morning !! Unfortunate that they try to trick customers, as if we couldn't tell the difference !! read more

Family friendly. Cheaper kids menu. Delicious panini and salads. Great service nice people

Very chill coffee and tea lounge with small bites like salad, sandwiches, pastries and smoothies. There is ample seating throughout and people working away on their laptops. I saw a few outlets available too. It looks like a coffee shop/mobile office, though there's a good rotation of folks. I was there for a good two.gours typing away on my laptop. It's still a coffee shop though, so there are some people taking calls on their cell phones and other folks who are meeting up to chat and catch up, but, it seems like if you get there early enough, it's a fairly quiet place for working/reading/writing and the like. I live close by and have the luxury of working remotely from time to time, so this little spot is definitely becoming a part of my rotation whenever I'm working in Brooklyn. I had the iced coffee while I was there, but the people around me were ordering an assortment of iced teas, which I must try on my next visit! Very cute coffee shop. Friendly baristas and a perfect atmosphere for getting work done away from the office. I'd highly recommend it. read more

Great coffee and decent food in particular their salads. However the value could be better. For instance I purchased 2 salads and added protein for a decent premium and was disappointed with the amount of chicken provided in relation to the cost. Furthermore the containers used had 3 compartment vs. utilizing either a 1 compartment or proper salad container. I will return but encourage the owners to take note and make the necessary changes. I recognize these are trying times for business, COVID and all but also recognize that consumers seek value for the same reason. read more
