- This is one of the cutest cafes I have ever been to in NYC. It's small and quaint, making for a very homey feel. - The staff was incredibly lovely. I've been here quite a few times now, and I will continue to return. - I've tried both their dirty chai's and regular iced oat latte's, and both proved to be the perfect combination of bold and smooth. - The chai is definitely on the spicier side if you're into that, but I found it to be a nice consistency with the espresso. - If you are trying this, I would suggest trying the latte, as it's cheaper and probably the better option. - Haven't tried their pastries, but they definitely look delicious. - If you're ever in Brooklyn, RUN to octavia.

What a cute coffee shop. Decor is minimal, allowing for the coffee to reign! As others have mentioned, there are no prices on the short menu. It is on the pricier side, but it's nearly in line with other similar spots in the area. I got a perfect flat white! There are some pastries available for sale, though there weren't many still available by 11. Check out the message on the wall, one of the only pieces of decor in the shop (see my pic). There are one or two seats inside and a few outside, as well. There's a bathroom in the back, too!

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.

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.

So so adorable! My sister lives in Brooklyn and this was the the first time she brought me to this area. Loved it, will be asking to go back. Great spot to stop on Mother's Day!!

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.

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

They probably have whatever you want, from espresso to matcha and many many non dairy milk options (oat, macadamia, soy, almond, pistachio...).

Radio Bakery is a very popular bakery in Brooklyn. This has been my second time and each time there…read morewas a line outside, however it moves quickly and the space inside is very small. Even though there is a line, you do not feel rushed or pressured to order quickly. On this visit we ordered plain croissant, chocolate croissant-fresh out of the oven, rhubarb croissant, black forest pastry and brown butter corn cake. The chocolate croissant was amazing. It is triple chocolate and cocoa powder is in the dough. It is filled with milk and dark chocolate, so creamy. The plain croissant was flaky and light. The brown butter corn cake was crispy and caramelized on the outside and soft and moist. The Black Forest croissant is a seasonal offering. It is made with their Triple Chocolate Croissant filled with chocolate cake and sour cherries and topped with mascarpone cream , Rhubarb & Custard Croissant . It is tart and sweet. The rhubarb is roasted and complimented with sweet vanilla custard. They all were excellent. Each were about $8. Highly recommend and don't let the line deter you .

I came during a weekday at like 11 and there was still a line but it is what it is. Because it's so…read morebusy I feel a bit rushed when I go here. It's also difficult to see all the items since everyone is packed in a line even when you get into the store. The food itself: - cardamom bun was yummy, a bit too cardamom forward though. 3.5/5 - the pb and J croissant was cool, a bit too rich for my liking but I admire how different it was and I actually had to save this one for the next day and it was still good so 4/5
