    Vanilla latte , cold brew + half completed weeping willow doodle

    Really cute cafe in Brooklyn! I had so much fun Doodling as I waited for my coffee. They share space with an art studio. The coffee is great. They don't charge for non dairy milk which is a plus. Everyone is friendly. There are tables for working and tables for chatting. Happy to come back.

    Still Life is a coffee shop by day and art space in the evening. It is the kind of third space the city needs more of, that cultivates calm, some joy, and creativity. COFFEE SHOP. Strong espresso, matcha and tea options, and alternative milks reflect a well curated kitchen that knows the neighborhood. There are a dozen pastries and cookies to sample. They have actual mugs and plates and invite you to linger. ART EXPERIENCE. Still Life offers a casual, at your own pace, art experience where they provide materials and a subject and leave you to create. There are always postcard sized papers, pencils, erasers, and sharpeners available at any time. You can rent watercolors, brushes, and pastels. The back room has space for workshops (like ceramics). They provide mocktails and snacks in the evening. I haven't tried a "class" yet, but it's now high on my list of places to come sketch with a girlfriend. We all need more casual creative spaces! SPACE. The space is strewn with little pieces of art taped to the wall, haphazard tableaus of flowers, fruit, and art books. The front of house is all glass windows. Most tables are finished plywood two tops with stools (feels 100% like your high school art studio). High ceilings and exposed brick. Still Life does offer space rentals (inquire on the website) and I can imagine this being a really lovely spot for a casual bridal/baby shower for a creative friend, a breakfast networking session, or mini release party. Prices reflect the space rental built in. Staff are friendly and helpful.

    Maple sage latte
    Alyanna T.

    My partner and I shared a maple sage latte, black sesame hojicha, and orange olive oil bread - TASTE: 4/5 - only got a hint of maple sage and the black sesame; enjoyed the hojicha drink a little more. The orange olive oil bread was nice and not too sweet TEXTURE: 4/5 - the bread was thick and satisfying PRICE: 4/5 - subtotal came to $20 SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - portions as expected for a breakfast treat SERVICE: 4/5 - walked in at 10am on a Monday and the space was mostly empty. Drinks were ready ~5min after ordering ATMOSPHERE: 5/5 - large, airy space for creatives. We enjoyed a still life drawing speed challenge while waiting for our order haha

    Spinach feta croissant

    Had some time to kill in the neighborhood and wanted to sit down for some coffee. A bit off the beaten path surrounded by construction but a nice simple cafe and chill space. Plenty of art supplies and a couple of still life (as per the name) spots set up. Didn't see anyone using it but a fun idea to get classes up and running in there. Huge bonus to offer almond/oat milk without additional fees.

    People have left some odd reviews of this place, including a one-star review for the restaurant…read moreapparently being highly politicized--a vibe I neither felt nor could visually identify within or without the establishment. I ordered a single burger and a Sudan spiced peanut butter latte, for ~$15! That's pretty inexpensive for New York City. I note this as some consider it overpriced. I suppose the food is fairly inexpensive, the lattes slightly higher than average. The "burger" comes wrapped in a homemade pita with diced cucumber, onion, and tomato, plus a few crispy, thick-cut fries and a yummy house sauce. It was a cool twist of the traditional burger and had a nice flavor. The sauce was like a slightly Mediterranean version of Big Mac sauce. The girl working as the barista and cashier was very nice and friendly. She had a nice presence and warm smile, made suggestions, and even gave a stranger free utensils when they popped on to ask. I think it's definitely worth checking out, and it's a good place for a cheap & simple meal that's still quirky and fun.

    I have wanted to try this spot for some time, and wound up a bit disappointed with what I tried…read more They feature a tahini cold brew, which features two things I love dearly, but instead of a rich cold brew it was overly sweet and icy--more like a slushie. Perhaps I should have anticipated that, or my mistake in ordering. I also ordered a Moroccan egg salad sandwich which was substantive but surprisingly bland--sparse with the advertised capers and pickled red onions to give it more punch. I've always loved the look of the spot and the vibe--funky decor, outside and indoor facing counters to order, with some outdoor seating for people watching on Dekalb or heading nearby Ft. Greene Park. I see they are renovating and rebranding a bit and adding some burger component. While I didn't love it, I'd definitely give it another shot.
