Stopped in today for a cold brew during lunch break . The place is super cute- hanging string lights overhead, community tables, and very chic! The desserts on the check out counter looked phenomenal but with bikini season around the corner I decided to stick to my original plan of a cold brew. My friend was starving and opted for a veggie bowl. I asked for my my cold brew with oat milk and the cashier looked at me like I had two heads even though I saw the Oatly carton right in front of her. When she handed me the cold brew I was skeptical bc I saw a few ice cubes, but figured it surely must be super cold already so there would be no reason for a crazy amount of ice. Upon taking a sip I realized a few things- 1. She BARELY added oat milk (if any) and 2. The coffee tasted like regular room temp coffee with ice cubes that were fighting to cool down the drink. I figured I would just add extra almond milk and call it a day (a caffeine fix is a caffeine fix after all lol) When my friend got her order it was HILARIOUS- the portion was so tiny (especially for the price) that she thought it was a joke! She was so mad but luckily we stopped by Dough doughnuts on the walk back- which definitely lifted her spirits lol. When she ate her food she said it was "ok, nothing special and definitely not worth it". My coffee was also not worth a second visit. Needless to say- if you are starving or a coffee aficionado you should steer clear! read more

THE TOASTS HERE WILL BLOW YOUR MIND! Had a whitefish toast here and it was easily the best toast I've had in a year. The monk bowl was eh in comparison (others have rated it highly, but thats only when you dont have the flavorful toast to compare it to) - Prices are high but this is yuppie gentrified brooklyn, so not much of a surprise - the blonde lady who runs the plant room is snooty/unfriendly/unapproachable as hell, and everytime I asked her a question I felt as if I was disturbing (?) her decoration routine. But otherwise, a great place for toast :) read more

I can't believe I haven't written a review of Stonefruit yet, seeing as I've been going like thrice a week (or more... aherm) for the past few weeks! I've always loved the vibe here at Stonefruit - it's beautiful inside, everyone's friendly, they have cool art, it's got a good energy. I'm obsessed with the decor. They have seating options in the cafe, as well as a long table in their connected floral shop (the back room) that's also available for cafe-goers to grab a seat. No matter where you sit, you'll have a gorgeous view of plants and artwork and natural light. Note: it can get pretty packed in here so you may not always be able to find a seat! This is one of the only places in the neighborhood that has decaf espresso so it's perfect for me since I've been cutting down on caffeine. Even better, Stonefruit introduced me to oat milk and I'm legitimately obsessed now. Oat milk decaf latte is my go-to and I'm so impressed by how frothy oat milk can get while also complementing the flavor of the espresso! (I personally don't love almond milk in my coffee cus it tastes burnt to me.) As for food, my fave thing is their cold oat and chia pudding (I think in the winter, they've switched to a more normal hot oats dish, but stay tuned for the cold oats in the spring?). It's so good and I totally stole the idea to do overnight oats with chia seeds for that extra boost to texture! My other fave is the avocado toast topped with a soft-boiled egg. It's delicious and topped with dukkah-seasoning (an Egyptian spice blend) that is a lil spicy and VERY spice-y (harhar, I'm funny). It's suuuuper filling, too, when you add the egg on top! The oat and chia pudding is still super filling because of the nuts and fruits but it feels lighter. Just depends on what you're in the mood for! They do "breakfast all day" so those items are available any time you drop in. I have been meaning to try to whitefish toast as well, but haven't yet! Likewise with all of the delicious-looking baked goods - they look so good but I haven't had a chance to eat one yet. Another AWESOME thing about Stonefruit (among many, many awesome things) is that they rented out the space after hours for a weaving workshop. They had the sign posted at the florist counter and I decided to give it a go. It was SO much fun and the space is perfect for doing a workshop like that. Can't wait until my next decaf oat milk latte! read more

If this wasn't so far from me, it would definitely be my spot. It's pretty hard to find a place in the city that caters to both people who want to read or work independently on their laptops and those who want to have a chat with their friends, but this place does it really well. Decor is what really stood out to me - everything was brightly lit by the natural light (which I love) and even their plating is done really well. I had the avocado toast with a soft-boiled egg on top - loved it! They even sell cute merchandise from local designers/artists, and there's some pretty nice stuff there! read more

Came in because of the decor and was not disappointed! Although it does get busy and crowded in the morning they do have more seating hidden in the back by the bathroom. It's like a indoor garden with lots of plants. I didn't know this till the 2nd time I went in. Price range for coffee is very affordable and reasonable. $3-5. Food is very appealing! Although my bread was a little over toasted it wasn't a big deal. The only part I didn't like was the confusion when my order came out. I wish they were more organized. They just put multiple orders on the counter. I didn't know which order was mine. I accidentally grabbed someone else's order that came before ours because they only brought one of our orders first. It was a little embarrassing. Other than that it's instagram pic heaven! read more

An absolutely adorable cafe! I only wish i lived closer! I came here for brunch with a dear friend of mine (it was her recommendation). This place is filled with laughter, natural light, soft seating (especially near the front door), great coffee, and amazing food. I had their grain bowl and it was fresh and flavorful! Vegetarians would love this place (and omnivores too!). The bowl was filling, served cold, and with a soft boiled egg on top, it's almost worthy the trek! The back walls are decorated with books, one of which I'm reading now and love (all that's to say, the person in charge of decorating has good literary taste). Also, they sell items made by local purveyors! I thought that was a novel idea and a great way to be an establishment in the community while also supporting local businesses (especially small businesses). Lastly, they apparently sell plants and flowers too! TL;DR -- grain bowl is to die for; while eating a healthy veggie meal, pick up a bouquet for the home! read more

We ordered a matcha latte on ice and an ice tea both beverages tasted great. The ice tea was perfect and non bitter. I haven't tried the food yet but it really is eye catching and very decorative like it belongs in a magazine. I read more

I like Stonefruit. Great space, friendly staff, good vibes. I like the avo smash and their other baked goods. The reason that I take off two stars is because every time I order my matcha latte it's basically straight up milk with a dash of matcha powder. I don't want a cup of slightly green tinted milk. I want a matcha latte. They need to up their game on that. read more

A very adorable coffee shop with great coffee and decent wifi. They also have a few vegan options so I tried the monk bowl. It was tasty but kinda pricey for being mostly rice with a few veggies (squash, radishes, green beans, and a frisée garnish). Overall, really nice place to work. read more

This is the worst service experience I ever had in a coffee shop. Being waiting at the counter w my coffee and then wait 15-20 minutes to finally have to cancel my order cause it never came, even when the servers told me it was the next order and they kept just bringing out orders for people that arrived after me! read more

This is a beautiful place to stop during your day in Brooklyn. I took a yogurt and is was fresh, beautifully presented and the staff is great ! It is not packed and I loved the neighborhood feeling. If I lived in NYC, it would definitely become one of my weekly stops. The coffee is good, not too strong and the atmosphere is really calming. The music selection is great. I highly recommend this place ! read more

Omg it's so sad they had a fire. I just stopped by today and my favorite coffee shop in bed stuy had a sign and someone was doing construction. Everyone here is always super friendly, and they have bomb ass iced lattes served in mason jars with handles and a super hip and cute interior that's hopefully not too irreparable. Hope everything's okay and they get back on their feet soon! read more

It doesn't get any better than Stonefruit. Beautiful, clean, bright and calming environment. Consistently excellent coffee and matcha lattes. I have only had the food once or twice and loved it. I wish they had bigger and more baked goods, but that's me being greedy. It's pretty perfect just the way it is. (*and in the spring/summer it's a great place to sit outside and watch the world go by.) read more

Lovely breakfast place! Cinnamon hot chocolate is yummy!smashed avo absolutely delicious. read more

Aug 2 2018: coffee $2.50 with refill. has AC, WiFi, plenty of seating. Connected to some store that sells plants.

I love this place! Coffee is always good, big selection of gluten free and healthy treats. Food is nice too, I am addicted to their avocado toast. All the baristas fun and friendly. Overall, this place is gorgeous and you can feel that the owner really care and love what she does. read more

What a waste of money. Got one of the brown rice bowls to go and it was the wimpiest portion of food for $12. Also I stood in front of the cashier waiting for her to acknowledge me so I could order. After I said hello she finally said something to me. The menu is handwritten in a notebook in small type. Looks like a book in Office Depot where customers try out pens. Poor customer service and bad value. read more

This place rocks! Great coffee and pastries, and really cool food menu. Really like the ambience, the flower shop in the back is a great place to chill, read, surf, whatev. Have been there a few times and always leave feeling a little better than I did before I arrived. :) read more

Good pastries, but the service could improve with a simple fix. We ordered two plain, black coffees the other day. When most coffee shops will have the cashier pour the drip coffee, Stone Fruit put our order in with the rest of the specialty drinks and food. Meanwhile the cashier was snacking and checking her phone. It took a good 10 minutes to get to our order which should've taken less than a minute to pour. It's an easy fix to keep the coffee coming for the impatient, New Yorker addicts out there. Thanks! read more

I don't know what one has to do for the folks that work here to be professional and treat you with respect but, after a year of trying, I'm finally giving up on this place. I was excited when it moved into the neighborhood, as it was beautiful and the food was really good, but I must come on the wrong days because every time I've gone in, I've been met by workers who seemed annoyed by my daring to try to place an order. My partner and I just visited now, and my partner asked what a muffin was, because it had no placard with a name, and was at first ignored and then spoken to as though the conversation the folks behind the counter were having was being interrupted. This is the general atmosphere I've experienced and it's a bummer because we were really excited about having a new place to hang, but whenever we've visited the vibe is ruined. read more

Went to Stonefruit Friday afternoon for breakfast. My experience was horrible. This business is less than thirty days old. I ordered the beets and quinoa. Which can come with an egg on top. I asked the rude and unfriendly counter girl if the egg was runny. yeah was her reply. I stated I don't really care for a runny egg over my beets. She said it comes that way. Way to go with the customer service. (How about saying let me see if the kitchen can cook that up for you). Needless to say I won't be back. Also this place does not serve a traditional breakfast. I've should have stuck with the Corner Grind, on Bedford. Yeah just what we need, more hipster bullshit in Bed Stuy. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE - The coffee is EXCELLENT, Prices are good for the coffee, Great vibe, FuN Service, Unique Dishes, I love the design, colours, light, Nice for a sit down with friends OR one-on-one with the Laptop. read more

I can't even walk past this place without shuddering with embarrassment. The cutesy, trendy name alone is a good indicator of the interior experience. "Stonefruit" assaults you with an explosion of circa-2008 Etsyish twee decor items, from colorful fibrous wall hangings to faux-southwestern-patterned pillows to succulents. Sure, the minimalist Scandinavian rustic look is de rigeur for north Brooklyn cafes at this point. But this is like a child's playroom. Zero taste and loud about it. Like a bit from Portlandia. Will continue walking farther to Bedford Hill where I can go without the whole ordeal. An unwelcome addition to the neighborhood. read more

Stonefruit is a beautiful space with a killer location--a block away from the G train entrance on Bedford. The decor is bright and airy, and the food focuses on healthy options. My first time visiting I order an iced coffee and the avocado smash. It was filling and the avocado was very fresh. The coffee is great too--not too strong that you get jumpy, but gives you a boost. There is plenty of seating, from areas in the front windows, a row of two-seaters facing the counter, and communal table in the back. However, this place is busy in the mornings and people like to linger. Second time I stopped by was for an afternoon coffee and the space was half full. Counter service is prompt and friendly. They keep almond milk behind the counter and take cards with no limit. I see myself coming by on Sunday mornings as well as more grab and go on the way to work. read more

Amazing cafe and the flower shop is incredible with really gifted floral arrangers. They made me a custom flower crown (Meredith made it) and it won me a costume competition! They were beyond kind and accommodating with getting it made and getting it to me. Also the food here is so good and they have dog treats my dog loves. I just want to say THANK YOU for being such an important and beautiful part of our neighborhood read more

Really hard to enjoy this place if you are with a friend. Too much waiting around awkwardly especially if there are no seats inside. But the food is good. read more

This is honestly one of my favorite neighborhood spots. Super trendy in the best way possible. The lattes and food are my absolute favorite, though the atmosphere my just trump all of that. Seriously check this place out. :) read more

Quintessential hipster place. If you're allergic to that, stay away. Otherwise, enjoy great "third wave" coffee while you munch on your quinoa bowl and smell the flowers, literally, in the adjacent flower shop - if it isn't closed for some hipster event, that is. read more

The service here is not good at all. I live across the street and wanted a quick cup of coffee. I decided to look at the menu to see if anything interest me. The menu is very limited and I was not familiar with some of the items on the menu, so I asked the owner, who was taking my order. She was not friendly and could not explain to me what the item was. She pointed to the menu and said "it explains it right here".She couldn't tell me the texture, if it sweet or salty, her attitude was basically, if you don't know what it is, this isn't the place for you. Needless to say, I will not be lazy next time and walk to Dunkin Donuts for coffee. read more

Given this place 4 or 5 tries, but it's definitely not worth how expensive it is. Bedford Hill/Civil Service/even Cinnamon Girl has better coffee read more

Lovely service, delicious, reasonably-priced gluten free food. A gem!

One of my fave local coffee shops in BK. They serve Counter Culture coffees/espressos. The avocado smash w/egg is delish as are their sweets - a bit expeez but worth it. (Move over stale almond croissants!) They offer wifi although outlets are scarce. Never too crowded and kept clean. Love the big community table they've added in the Botanical shop around back. Also really appreciate the almond milk option on the counter. read more

Food is amazing, teas are amazing, place is gorgeous.. Love it! You should definitely try it :)

**Posting this as a heads up to other people with food allergies! Steer clear of Stonefruit if you have food allergies.** I had an allergic reaction here from contamination (I am very allergic to all fish, and they do have a whitefish toast on the menu). Food handlers should always be seriously trained in cross-contamination, and top food allergens like fish and nuts should always have a separate area with separate utensils/cutting boards in a kitchen. This is a crucial part of any business serving food, and as many people have life-threatening food allergies, it is not something to take lightly. I very rarely have cross-contamination reactions, because most establishments train their employees sufficiently in NYC, so I was disappointed to experience this at Stonefruit. I did not speak to employees about it because I had to rush to urgent care for medication (everything ended up ok because it was such a small amount of allergen contact), but I am really only posting this to give a heads up to other potential customers with food allergies! And in the off chance that a Stonefruit employee will see this and encourage better training/policies/oversight on safe food prep. Other establishments seem to do it just fine, it just takes taking it seriously. Thanks! read more

Eat here, you won't be disappointed! The avo-egg smash was one of the most unique and delicious sandwiches I've ever had! Top that off with amazing pastries and coffee! I couldn't believe it when the server told me the lemon cake I had was vegan. Holy smokes I'm happy this place moved in to the neighborhood! read more

Coffee's good but the food is a friggin joke. The portions are tiny...maybe thats why everyone in there looked like they just got out of class, at the yoga school up the block. The flavor of the "avo trash" sandwich and the "junk bowl" is as bland and vanilla, as their wave nouveau BK/Portlandia clientele. Ayyyy take ur friggin "stonefruit" and scram...all of you's read more

This place is BLASTING jazz at 8am. I had to make a phone call from the bathroom. I go up to the front and ask a man if he can turn down the music in the back. He tells me all of the speakers are connected so he can't, but he can turn it down. He imperceptibly lowers the volume, as I sit there panicking about where I'm gonna make a phone call to my boss, a man goes up and asks a female employee to turn the music off. She turns it off in the back. I go up to confront the situation, she says the employee I asked is newer and she's been there for 2 years so she knows how to use the speakers. I say that he could have tried to solve for me and I feel frustrated that my request was ignored. She gives me the least sincere "I'm sorry" possible, the kind that's really telling you that you have no right to be upset. I left feeling unheard. Good food though. read more

I happened upon Stonefruit while visiting friends in Brooklyn. The coffee and avocado smash (with egg added) were delicious. Even better is the atmosphere - super chill, visually appealing, and comfortable. There is a housewares-type boutique as well with lovely gift ideas. Definitely recommend as a breakfast spot! read more

Typical hippie coffee freaking expensive shop. The food was okay, but so little. That kind of place thats not for everybody.

Aside from the pretentious hipster 'tude, this place is fantastic. I stay in Manhattan but it's so worth the travels for their menu and their baked goods selection. I can't find a comparable place in Manhattan like it - if someone knows, please tell me? I had their yogurt bowl and felt like it was too pretty to eat but satisfying after. It was like eating a garden: rose granola, flowers, fruit and seeds topped with honey from the bees that buzz around. Amazing. Not only did I think healthy and yummy but they crushed the presentation with colors galore. Loved their gluten free baked goods too (since I am authentically allergic and get sick). They didn't have just one thing like so many cafes and places have...they had marble bundt cake topped with dried flowers, brownies, cobbler looking thingys, cookies - it goes on. I mean, this was a mecca for gluten free and pretty baked goods. I had a golden latte as well that was delicious. My friend got the kale salad, which had some cooked veggies in it and looked great. They also have healthy and tasty-looking bowls offered and a large selection of espressos. The place is pretty small and can get crowded quick...especially with more of these reviews. You deal...and listen to the full conversation of the people next to you when you and your friend have a quiet moment. My friend lives down the street and she just discovered this place as well....yelp worked for us yesterday. read more
