    This place is OK. There aren't other options in this vicinity so it's the only act in this part of town. It'll get the job done for coffee, bagels and croissants. The inside is really cute: small tables and chairs for laptoppers and readers alike. The coffee is really expensive for this area. It's $3 for a 16oz black coffee. The bodega one block away sells this size for $1.00. But, you're paying for a place to sit and take it in, so....there's that I guess? The baristas behind the counter are aloof and standoffish (this is after multiple visits). Their vibe is sort of disinterested, like you're in the way of their day or something, making it feel uninviting (...so different from the way the interior is set up!) I don't care for small talk but the vibe is just...rude. You add your own cream and sugar and they don't have napkins but a weird brown, scratch paper on a cumbersome roll that's tough to access when holding a hot cup of coffee. Their coffee isn't out of this world; their service isn't the friendliest and they're not the cheapest but if you just want a cup of coffee, and a place to sit, Steeplechase will get the job done.

    Steeplechase is a nice coffee shop. It does almost everything right for a simple coffee shop and promote good local brands. The coffee here is good and if you get a cappuccino or something they top it off with some nice foam art. I have had their normal coffee as well and its fine. It is a little expensive but I don't think outrageously so. They have a lot of quality pastries that I love to get with my coffee. You can get muffins/scones for a nice breakfast treat. You can also get sandwiches here which is apparently.. relatively new. They don't have a lot of variety for the sandwiches and can they can be quite expensive for what they are (like a simple grilled cheese.) However they at least offer them which many coffee places wouldn't. One thing I really appreciate about this place is they are always advertising and offering Brooklyn brands. For example I bought some Brooklyn made bread from them a while ago and I know they serve Brooklyn branded coffee beans. I don't know but I like that pro-local spirit this place has. Again Steeplechase is a nice coffee shop. It does everything right and if your willing to spend a little extra I am sure you will enjoy your time here.

    Adorable, spacious shop with Trois Pommes and Balthazar goodies and Terrace Bagels(local at least). The owner was super friendly and explained all options including vegan- no thanks on the vegan man. I went with a Trois Pommes mostess cupcake with expresso center- love Trois Pommes. The store was filled with laptop users- so boring on a lovely day. Definely, a classic Brooklyn name and cool spot that adds to this burgeoning block of Kensington!

    I genuinely love this coffee shop, but the major problem is that they have a $10 card minimum. I understand $5 minimums because most drinks will probably land about there and everyone knows merchants end up paying fees. But, small business economics aside, I bank with Wells Fargo and it's very difficult for me to get cash, so I tend to go somewhere else 9 times out of 10. Also, the cash app gives you $1 off cups of coffee, but I can't use a card for just coffee (because of the minimum), so it also doesn't make sense for me to go to Steeplechase for that reason. Basically, if you don't have cash, and you don't plan on spending more than $10, there's nothing for you at Steeplechase. Again, it's a shame because I really like this place.

    Finger guns!

    No laptop policy is a deal breaker. I don't go to coffee shops for the magnificent selection of overpriced bakery goods or "delicious" 4 dollar coffee. I go to sit and do work when need be. Went around the corner to Windsor Terrace to do the work I needed to do. Now back to it. Sent from my laptop (not from Steeplechase Coffee).

I was really excited to give Cotti another try after my first experience (the latte was really good). I've tried quite a few drinks from this location: Stardust Oolong Latte, Cloud Mousse Matcha Latte, Pandan Coco Latte, Cloud Mousse Pandan Crema Latte, and Coco Cotti. One thing they have in common is how milk-forward they are. So milk-forward that my Pandan Coco Latte was white instead of green! The Stardust Oolong Latte sadly tasted like straight-up milk with no Oolong taste at all. The Pandan Coco Latte tasted like a coconut latte, which isn't bad, but I would like to taste the Pandan. Overall, I think there's potential because their espresso is good, but the milk overpowers any other flavor by a lot. With so much competition in the area, I think you can do better for the price unless they make improvements. I'll give it another chance in the future, but for now, I'll be taking a break from Cotti.

The cream was to perfection. The crust was baked to the right crisp with the exact amount of firmness and not no burning. The rainbow cookie was not overly sweet.

The star of the show: purple yam souffle with vanilla ice cream is chefs kiss!! I thought I couldn't like any dessert more than their chocolate molten lava cake but this one definitely takes the spot. Top two desserts they have! Even when I had lava cakes at fancy establishments, it doesn't hold a candle to prince tea house! Their crepe cakes are also alright but I've found the to be less unique and enjoyable especially the brown sugar boba which sometimes comes out in clumps hard to pour onto the cake. Their food selection is decent for sandwiches like chicken katsu and also fries. Their fruity teas aren't my style but their hot milk teas are amazing. The lavender green tea was more green tea which was disappointing, hoped to taste more lavender. The best one is the rose lovers milk tea, literally perfection each time. Unfortunately, this place may no longer be my usual. My favorite part of this place is that the serves don't really care about you in the sense that the bring you food and leave you alone. However, they now impose mandatory 20% tip on all tables even for table of 1 or 2. This location only. As someone who realizes the servers here simply bring food and nothing else here (which I actually love as I don't like to be bothered) but expect a high mandatory tip, this is not the way to go. Especially since there have been numerous occasions where servers are nowhere to be seen and refuse to service you for something as simple as napkins or a check if they're not your server, this is an absurd addition. Definitely visiting less now that this happened. The most bothersome is that it's mandatory. Doesn't seem right/ethical and makes it feel less genuine. Had the pleasure of visiting other prince tea house locations and the service seems better, even water without asking, surprising cash discount, and most importantly: don't impose this mandatory tip! Not sure what changed here but not what it used to be with this and it needs to change. TDLR: -best options here: rose lovers milk teas, chocolate lava cake, purple yam soufflé -major con: new mandated 20% tip!! on all tables, even table of 1 or 2, which is unheard of at other prince tea house locations and even fancy restaurants!

I ordered avocado toast with eggs and a pastry. The only real positive was the bread itself, which was fresh, large, and actually tasted good. Unfortunately, that is where the positives ended. Although the avocado seemed less generic than standard store-bought guacamole, the taste was not good. The eggs were terrible -- they looked very unappetizing, tasted awful, and appeared nothing like the photo shown on Grubhub. The same photo also showed a small side salad, but no salad was included. I requested chili oil, and that was missing as well. The added cheese had virtually no flavor, so overall the dish felt careless, incomplete, and extremely unsatisfactory. I also checked the box requesting utensils, but no utensils or napkins were included. However, to be clear, this review is not about forgotten utensils. It is about the overall lack of quality, attention to detail, and customer care. The pastry was another culinary failure. It was sold under the French name -"Pan Au Raisin" but it was nothing like what real "Pain Aux Raisins " supposed to be, it was bland, greasy, oily and missing the traditional custard base plus it was delivered in an undersized paper envelope that left the food exposed, a clear violation of basic sanitary standards for food transport. Most importantly, this order caused me stomach pain and GI upset. This was the only food I had eaten in a 24-hour period, and more than 24 hours later I still felt unwell. The owner's reply to my original review was patronizing, dismissive, and refused to take any real accountability. Instead of addressing the food quality issues, the missing items, the poor packaging, and the physical reaction I had to the order, the response tried to reduce the entire problem to utensils and push the conversation into private email. I am keeping this public so other customers can make an informed decision. I wanted to support a new local business, but the bad taste, poor execution, misleading presentation, lack of care, and dismissive management made that impossible. Based on this experience, I would not order again and would not recommend this place to friends or family.
