They also did not clearly let us know when food / drinks were ready. Not a very welcoming space. Overall wouldn't recommend.

My first reaction is that they should really have wifi, I'm sorry but that is the primary use for a…read morecoffee shop for many of us in 2026. However, they make up for it with their delicious and actually substantial food menu. I got the shrimp tempura burger served on a homemade wild rice cake bun and it was delicious, crunchy, savory, a little messy and fell apart but worth it. There's surprisingly a decent amount of seating, quiet electronic music, friendly staff. It's a good neighborhood spot for a coffee or treat and I had a good work sesh there.

This is a really cute café that has gorgeous leather furniture, lighting fixtures, and cool plants everywhere, very modern looking. The music they play here is great too. I was a little disappointed to see that their food menu was quite limited, and by that time of day, there was really only one savory option that stood out to me, the Parmesan and leek pastry. I ordered this and had the barista heated up for me, as well as print out a receipt because this is how you access the Wi-Fi. I sat in the corner along the wall on a wooden bench and attempted to do work on one of the small metal tables. The tables are quite low, so this really isn't a great place to get a ton of work done in my opinion, as well as the fact that the Wi-Fi only works for 30 minutes and after that, you need to go back up and get another receipt for a code. I was also a little disappointed in the pastry itself, as it wasn't fully heated and was a little too greasy for me. I can't speak on the coffee here, but it did look like they provide high-quality options. Vibes and aesthetic are high but I can't say I'd come here again.

Ordered: Flat White with Farm Fresh Battenkill Whipped Cream…read more(~$6) Aya's take: IXV Coffee is a coffeeshop operating out of garage with a casual & welcoming outdoor seating area. It was a beautiful day so we grabbed a seat while waiting for our coffee. I got the Flat White with Farm Fresh Battenkill Whipped Cream. The Flat White? Warm, soothing, and bold. The Farm Fresh Battenkill Whipped Cream? Delectable, fluffy, and has ruined all other whipped cream for me. I can't explain how much better it was with the whipped cream. It was sweet, buttery, and rich; unlike most other whipped creams I've had. My only con (and this is somewhat beyond their control) was it did get quite chaotic with people's pets and kids' strollers that were taking up the sidewalk making it hard for others to pass or to peacefully continue our conversation. Very enjoyable and such a hidden gem!

I had a deeply disappointing and unsettling experience at this coffee shop. I placed my order and…read morewaited patiently off to the side, expecting the same level of service as everyone else. However, I began to notice a troubling pattern customer who arrived after me were being served promptly, receiving their coffee without delay, while I continued to wait without acknowledgment. As time passed, the situation became increasingly uncomfortable and disheartening. It felt as though I was being deliberately overlooked. I could not ignore the possibility that I was being treated differently because of the color of my skin, which made the experience even more painful and isolating. Brooklyn is known for its diversity and inclusivity, which is why this experience felt so out of place. I came in simply hoping to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee, but I left feeling disrespected, diminished, and unwelcome. A coffee shop should be a space where all customers feel valued, safe, and respected not disregarded or marginalized. Unfortunately, that was not the case here. and coffee didn't taste well !!!!!!!

I ordered a small matcha latte with a pump of sugar free vanilla and an extra scoop of matcha, made with almond milk, of course. It came quickly, with the option for a paper to-go cup, or a mug. It was quite bitter but still sweet and I enjoyed it in one of the booths as I watched a couple of people come in over the course of 45 minutes. There is a bathroom available and some bar and couch seating too. You can also as well as purchase bites with your beverage here. The only reason this place didn't get 5 stars from me is because my drink was on the more expensive end for a small cup of matcha. For this size, I'd expect closer to $8 ish.

"IT'S NOT ONLY ABOUT THE COFFEE Community Comes First…read moreJoe is more than coffee. Each cafe reflects its neighborhood, celebrating diversity and creating a place where everyone feels welcome. From farmers to baristas to guests, the focus has always been on people and the connections they make." Wowza! If this is Joe's mission statement, I applaud you! Here's what's even better, the Bergen Street location is exemplifying it. I walked in craving a cold foam and quickly scanned the menu: Cold brew with Vanilla foam. The barista was welcoming and courteous* as she took my order. I started snapping photos to post on Yelp. Another barista was getting ready to take her lunch and was thinking it through as to where to go. Neisha, a local was making suggestions. I had to pipe in ( hey I'm from Brooklyn, we love to suggest!) I asked all, " Have you tried Sofreh cafe? It's a different place with sweets ( yuzu cupcake, yum) and savory ( Barbieri bread) and the rose tea with cardamom". Now, I had all three listening, " and it's across the street!"* Now, back to my coffee that Astaria crafted for me: OUT OF THIS WORLD! I savored every sip! The cafe is cute, cozy and the locals were coming in one after the other! Joe offers a nice variety of coffee, tea and cocoa options. But the best part is the "CONNECTION.. Shout out to Astaria who crafted my cold brew expertly and deliciously! Great customer service as well! As for Neisha and the Prospect Heights locals, you have great taste in coffee! "What makes "Joe's Coffee" special varies by brand, but generally involves a focus on high-quality, ethically sourced Arabica beans, meticulous small-batch roasting for rich flavor, and innovative processes like specialty cold brewing or freeze-drying for concentrated instant coffee" *Ahhh you noticed!

I came here before a flight for a quick breakfast…read more I ordered the Lenin toast and a Green Smoothie. Both were good. I would have preferred the Lebni toast with ground olives/tapenade instead -- some bites had way too many olives while some had too few. It was an interesting twist on toast. The smoothie was also good but nothing remarkable. I received my food in about 10 minutes, so it was pretty decent service It's a busy place. There were lots of people there and there wasn't any seating available, but I wasn't upset about this because I had to leave quickly. If you're interested in working here, definitely come early!

I don't go to coffee shops, and I was reminded why…read more Drinks: 1/5 We ordered the Espresso Shot 1 and the Chai Latte. The Espresso Shot 1 was unexpectedly sour like the kind of sour you expect from expired coffee. There are special notes including rhubarb, so maybe that was on us to order this shot, but we didn't expect a beef jerky-like aftertaste. My friend could not finish it, so I asked for a replacement shot--the Expresso Shot 2--and the staff were kind enough to offer it to us free of charge. This shot was also just as sour, with notes of passion fruit. There are no other espresso shot options, and both shots are $5-6 each. The Chai Latte tasted just like the concentrates I would get from supermarkets. When I finished my cup and peered at the bottom for any spice residue, I found the grainy texture you'd find in said supermarket concentrates. Service: 4/5 The people were incredibly friendly and welcoming. For a busy coffee shop, they were prompt in fulfilling any special request, such as an expresso shot replacement. Atmosphere: 2/5 This is a cute coffee shop with a warm interior! It has a modern and cozy aesthetic, and it was very pleasant to sit here for half an hour. We were fortunate to even have seating, though, because there was a line out the door and not enough tables for all patrons. The tables were low to the ground and close to other tables. I would recommend this place to people who need a quick shelter from the cold. I wouldn't recommend the drinks to anyone, and the line is not worth it. Final rating: 2.33/5 (rounded down to 2 on Yelp)

I…read morewasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised upon walking in since I saw their wall of beans for sale. They carry beans from DAK Coffee Roasters, which is one of my favorite roasters from Amsterdam, along with Sey Coffee and other roasters known for their high-quality beans. I grabbed a bag of DAK beans, which came with a free single-origin drip. It was honestly great for drip -- clean, not watery, and nicely fruity and juicy. It was pretty busy, so I skipped the pour-over this time, but I'd definitely come back to try it on a calmer time of the week. If I'm looking to stock up on good beans, I know I'll be back at Villager.
