Stopped by while visiting the area and looking for a good latte. The interior is cute and bright with pink and blue colors. They have a punch card for frequent coffee drinkers. There is a cute vintage punching machine and a wall where the card can be kept until your next visit. Nice touch for the aesthetic. Cute seating inside and they have a few tables outside too. Didn't see a restroom. They seem to have a steady flow of locals who come here all day. The barista (didn't get her name but was moving to Australia?) rattled off so many different milks they have for lattes and flavors to add, it was hard to remember. With no menu or price listing you really have no idea how much you'll be charged. I requested for the latte to be in a ceramic mug vs paper cup to avoid wastage for more paper products. I envisioned a hot latte with pretty design in a lovely ceramic cup. Instead it was a warm (not hot) cup with a more milky drink and a hint of lavender (the flavor I chose) and no pretty design. Pretty basic. Since they no menu, you have no idea about what up charges they have for anything. The basic 12 oz latte is $5 and since I was asked if I wanted any flavor and chose lavender, there was an additional 75 cents added. Had I known, I might not have gotten it since I couldn't really taste it anyway. I stuck with regular skim milk because I figured there would probably be an additional charge based on chosen milk. They carry soy, almond, oat, macadamia nut, etc. For almost $7 for a latte, it was mediocre. Didn't get to try the treats, but nice that they had a vegan chocolate chip cookie, another item that was vegan and GF, and then other baked goods. Eventually, another barista took over and she was friendly. I think her name was Rosie. She even made a complimentary espresso for me to try and tried to make a design, which ended up just being a milk circle. She was very friendly and perhaps the highlight compared to the latte itself. Overall cute aesthetic, but the latte was nothing special and in my opinion kinda pricey for what you get. For the price I'm paying, I'd want something pretty, unique, and delicious. read more

What a great place to grab some coffee, goes down smoothly. The barista was super nice and even took the time to show my husband how to pour out the milk and give him some tips for him to learn. Definitely recommend you make a stop here and make this your go to coffee place. Btw, their point system is neat, you fill out/decorate a sheet, mark it with an old punch time clock and put it up on their wall. read more

Fancy little coffee place with a small menu along with some pastries. You can find a lot of people drinking coffee from here around lunch time and later. They don't have prices listed and while getting a cappuccino, they asked if I wanted it stronger. After saying yes, this resulted in them adding an extra shot if not two and I paid around 9$ (!!!!) for a coffee. I assume it would have been 6-6.50$ prior (either this or they added 2 shots) but it's hard to tell without price listings. Friendly staff but I can't help but feel I got ripped off so I haven't stopped back again. Please add prices to your menu. It wouldn't effect your nice aesthetics and the coffee was quite tasty. read more

Octavia Coffee has great coffee and service. Highly recommend if you're in the area, or anywhere nearby.

Super cute coffee shop! I unsure of what I wanted and the barista helped me out. She was really nice and honestly like a ray of sun shine as I walked in! In door but mostly outdoor seating. I will definitely be back here to try some pastries. read more

I come here occasionally and I am always impressed with how nice the interior looks! Such a cute coffee shop. Their baristas are very skilled, they make perfect coffee drinks that are also so pretty. For the non-dairy folks like me, they have a very large selection from oat to almond, macadamia and pistachio "milk" (I guess they are also the same price which is cool too). In our last visit, we tried their vegan chocolate/tahini cookie - I love tahini in baked goods and this one did not disappoint! Their regular chocolate chip cookie is also delicious - loaded with high quality chocolate chunks read more

Cute new cafe in cobble hill! They have lots of outdoor seating, and one table inside. If you can't read cursive, just order. They probably have whatever you want, from espresso to matcha and many many non dairy milk options (oat, macadamia, soy, almond, pistachio...). They also sell beans, medium roast, and that's what they use for their espresso. I like that it isn't ridiculous dark. The matcha is pretty good but you'll want to avoid the lumps in the bottom. The menu has no prices, and everything is on the pricier side, but also the drinks are huge. There are many delicious pastries but I don't they do meals here. Friendly service, wear a mask, remember to tip. Closest subway is the F/G at Bergen. read more

Although this is a cute space, the latte was less than average in quality. I ordered a fairly routine iced latte and it was, watery mix. Not sure how folks think this is a 5 star experience. Was expecting much more based on the reviews. read more

Beautiful addition to the neighborhood. Silky lattes, perfectly fluffy cappuccinos, and yummy baked goods. Sidewalk seating on the sunny side of Court Street a plus! Not to mention the adorable clock-in/out punch card system. This place is turning my WFH situation into a WFC (work from cafe) situation. Looking forward to many mornings here! read more

Small little joint but super cute decor, and will let you sit indoors without a mask to enjoy your beverage; there's only one small table indoors but there are a plenty more seating options outdoors. The menu can be a bit confusing to read and order from since there isn't any pricing and some items are on the same line. I paid $5 for an iced vanilla latte that was basically all ice, but the amount of coffee I did get tasted great! Nice if you're looking to support a local shop, but I'd probably ask for less ice next time :) read more

Amazing service and most importantly the coffee is delicious! Perfect for a quick stop!

Love Octavia! Personal service, great coffee, great decor, favorite of locals, best place for meeting up with a friend or to get up to date on the latest neighborhood scoop... read more

Excellent service. If it's a smile and fast, courteous service you want, this is your place. The coffee and snacks are also excellent, including the peanut butter cookies! Best of all, when a $250 gift card fell out of my pocket and I didn't notice.... when I came back hours later they were holding it for me. read more

Tasty well made drinks by friendly baristas. Lots of plant-based milk options, too. I'm so glad there's a small, family-owned cafe that's a delight to visit and a preferred alternative to the many coffee chains nearby. Also the pink to-go lids even make a grump like me smile. read more

Friendly barista and delicious coffee. Truly feel like I'm supporting a small local business. Will definitely return next time I'm visiting.
