Finding and spotlighting cafes in my neighborhood is pretty much my entire personality at this point, so you can imagine my surprise when I returned to Brooklyn from weeks of work and personal travel and saw a new spot at the end of my literal residential block.
Some would say it's too convenient and accessible to be true. I say that this neighborhood is ripe for all sorts of possibilities, and I am glad the owner (Daniel) sees this vision just as I do.
This is a clean, bright, unpretentious spot serving high quality drinks and baked goods. Daniel is a sunset park local who grew up in the neighborhood and has perfected every little detail of this space himself. His enthusiasm is absolutely what the landscape has been needing for so long. I stopped by to grab myself an iced matcha and enjoyed talking about all the other things he has in store for the space.
He offered me a taste of the strawberry milk. I generally avoid a lot of sugar but the taste was phenomenal without being overpowering. My drink was made with care, with just a dash of organic strawberry syrup, free of harsh dyes. It was exactly what I needed.
Outside the space there is some outdoor seating for you to enjoy a peaceful moment to yourself. There is so much promise this cafe holds and delivers to the neighborhood. If you are a local or even just a commuter, stop by here and grab yourself a morning pick me up. You won't regret it. read more
