The food is tasty. The staff is nice. The one star is for the communal cup that has all the silverware touching which kind of skeeves me out because bacteria spreads and everyone who eats there touches the same silverware in that one cup! I don't know where those street hands have been. I'm sure the employees wash their hands though, it's just people coming in and touching money, pets, their shoes...etc. but if you eat with your hands then I guess it's ok! read more

Super cute neighborhood spot to either grab brunch or set up shop to get work done! I dropped by because I'm lowkey addicted to caffeine and just needed a quick pick me up. I got the golden milk latte with oat milk as suggested by the awesome barista working that day (best decision ever!). It was around $5 and super delicious -- seriously so happy oat milk has become the newest thing in NYC. Anyways, the cafe itself is a pretty average size. I didn't spot any open tables when I visited (Thursday around 2PM) but there seemed to be outlets and wifi as people were on their laptops. Super friendly service and nice natural light coming through the windows. Definitely a wonderful addition to the neighborhood. read more

Cozy coffee shop with Kinfolk-style decor, Edison bulb lighting, and adorable house plants. The chai latte was a bit weak and disappointing, but the cider and avocado toast with soft-boiled egg were both solid. The baristas are friendly and overall, it's a nice space for meeting friends or getting some work done. I came on a Tuesday afternoon and it was pretty full, but I was still able to snag a seat. I'll be coming back to try the coffee! read more

Stonefruit Espresso + Kitchen - Chai latte--it comes unsweetened and has good cinnamon flavor, but otherwise is pretty mild. Not a lot of ginger or spice. - Cafes Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Soooo hipster! It is amazing the transformation that could take place from being outside the cafe to walking in. We all know the grim and grubby Bed-Stuy, and we also know how slowly the area is gentrifying and cafes/restaurants are popping up everywhere. While people are smoking crack only a few feet away, the moment you walk in to Stonefruit, you forget the grittiness of the outdoors. The decor suits the earthy farm to table vibe going on with plants everywhere and tables and chairs made from restored wood. In the backroom if I'm not mistaken they sell plants etc. Yes, the vibe is immensely chill. I came here for breakfast and ordered the Avocado Smash on Shewolf, White Fish on Shewolf and the Yogurt Pot. Also ordered a cappuccino and mocha. The employee taking my order was friendly and very understanding (because I was indecisive). Each dish had a world of flavor and you can taste the care going into make it. They use super fresh, healthy and organic ingredients. I am a total fan of the white fish toast, an absolute must get if you come here. The coffees were very very strong, some might say that's a good thing, but I feel like it could be a little less and it would be a beautiful 5 star coffee. You may be someone just coming for breakfast with friends or you may be someone looking for a chill place to work with your laptop or read book. Either way Stonefruit knows how to please em all. I'll definitely be back here sometime soon. read more

Cute & quaint espresso bar, a bit snug but so is New York. The Matcha Latte is my go-to. I add sugar to it because it's bitter on it's own. Request it extra hot! Staff is friendly & I had the Avocado Toast for brunch. Definitely great & they substitute nuts for sesame if you're intolerant like me. The bread is a bit tooo thick for the toast. Overall it's a great place to get some work done or meet a friend. read more

Stonefruit Espresso + Kitchen - Matcha Latte - Cafes Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I cannot believe I hadn't written a review for this place yet since I used to go here daily. Even now that I live a little further away, Stonefruit is my go-to. And I want to recommend you go there, but I'm afraid you'll make it even busier! Not only does this place have good drinks, great food, and a cute interior, it's also a PLANT SHOP! You win me over if you have nice plants, so I guess that's why I don't mind when the weekend line is out the door. The staff are really kind- TJ is my favorite new guy. They have a TON of vegetarian and vegan options that are all fresh and unique. The avocado toast (with the egg) is my go-to but the monk bowl is also bomb. It's a good vibe and they do have quite the breadth of knowledge about their plants and art-y pots. Thanks Stonefruit read more

This place is Brooklyn AF, but is quality enough to back up the aesthetic. I rarely get avocado toast (because why buy it for 13 dollars when you can make it yourself at home) but being fresh off a red-eye flight I couldn't resist that freshness. I have to say, the avo toast here is pretty great, and it's got some interesting toppings on it that make it unique. Also, if you're not a coffee drinker (like me) but still want a little something warm, the chai here is pretty great. Nice and spicy and it'll make you feel all autumnal. read more

my top 2 coffee shops in Brooklyn. I grew up on Quincy St between Classon Av & Franklin Av and even lived at 1054 Bedford Av as a recent college graduate so I'm acutely award of gentrification, however, this place is well concepted and executed. It's not a "community giving" shop or somewhere I'd expect to learn about local or geo politics but it has good design, workers, objects for sale and a florist connected that you can sit and read or laptop ‍ from. go here whether you are a native or nomad. read more

Most importantly Excelente coffee. Nice selection of treats and seating area. Service and quick and always with a smile :-)

I'm in love!! This place just opened today and it's already my favorite neighborhood cafe!!! It focuses on healthy, farm to table food, which is a refreshing option for this area. It's located across the street from the G Bedford stop, so it's super convenient to stop by in the morning before work. Food: The avocado smash was really good! It was probably the best one I've ever had. They weren't skimpy with the avocado and it was topped with alfalfa and a perfectly cooked boiled egg. The smash covered a large, multi-grain toast, which gave each bite some nice texture. The frittata muffin was a really fun way to do a frittata. It had some mini carrots in it, which was yummy. The frittata was light and perfect for a savory snack on the go. The blueberry tumeric muffin sounds weird but was actually pretty good, if you like tumeric. It's really moist and had fresh blueberries. It's also gluten free! Drinks: The matcha green tea latte with almond milk had legit matcha green tea and not that fakey green tea sugar powder stuff at other places. I liked that it wasn't too sweet. We also got a cappuccino and drip coffee - I didn't try them, but heard they were good. I also appreciate that Stonefruit was stocked with stevia packets, which cafes around here usually don't have as a healthier sugar option. Decor: Cute, warm and welcoming!! Love that the place has huge windows that let a ton of light in. Everything we had was really delicious and felt super healthy without feeling like they were sacrificing taste. Can't wait to come back here and try all the other menu items, which included sandwiches and some other fun, healthy goodies!! read more

So my friend kept raving about this place and I can def understand why . It's delish . I didn't have lunch here but I got the cinnamon roll which is vegan and gluten free I believe . They had a choice of mocha and regular . Next time I'm def getting the mocha . I took my cinnamon roll home and put it in the oven . It's just so good and it has like this toffee buttery goodness to it . I mean it's honestly better than a regular cinnamon roll . It's quite dense so you can actually share it or you can save a piece for later . I also got the Majorelle mint tea which was refreshing especially since I have a horrific cold . I'm glad I got out the house and came here . I will def be back for a nice lunch . read more

It was everything I wanted -- the whole package, from top to bottom, inside out. Every line, every curve, every bite, every sip, every swallow. And it was all mine. Bursts of paradise passion with every bite of the pomegranate-dressed oats. My heart was held captive, perched on a pedestal of rustic oats and fruit too fresh. This earthy delight was a precious gift from Mother Nature herself. Melissa Brown #forkmegood read more

Stonefruit is now my hands-down favorite place to study, eat, and meet fun and interesting new people! The wifi is fast, the service is fast, and you will fall in love with the place fast. The coffee is great and well-priced. Wide selection of both dairy and non-dairy milks (no one will judge you for asking for hazelnut milk. I didn't even know that was a thing). Lots of vegan (chocolate truffles, snickerdoodles, smashed avocado toast!) and gluten-free (cookies, raspberry/fig tarts!) goodies that are scrumptious. I also didn't even feel weird about licking hazelnut cacao spread and sourdough crumbs off my plate. Everyone in there understood me and respected me for it. The space is idyllic and bright and makes you feel things you didn't know you could feel. I didn't know there was an emotion for "I want to devote myself to local, healthy, delicious food forever and eat Stonefruit's Monkbowl seasonal special everyday".

Unique healthy and tasty. Service is friendly. Limited indoor and some outdoor seating- chill environment

Despite the fact that Stonefruit looks like it came straight out of a spread of some Silver Lake magazine and is totally out of place in this neighborhood, I really dig it. The space is airy, well lit, charmingly decorated (including with a cat pillow - my favorite), and well air conditioned (crucial during the tropical NY summers), the coffee is on point and the food options are interesting (constantly rotating) and delicious. read more

The lavender latte is amazing. The avocado toast was delightful. A great cafe for morning breakfast with a friend.

Definitely grab a table with your coffee to soak in the gorgeous decor & hipster ambiance. There's also more seating in the back. Must come back for the baked goods!! read more

Came here to do some work over the weekend and really liked the energy of the place. I added the seasonal almond rose favor to my matcha latte and it was amazing. Their tomato red pepper soup of the day was very yummy too. I'm excited to come back and try more. read more

Gorgeous, bright and spacious farm-to-table cafe! Natural light spilling in through the windows and lots of plants and succulents. There's a spread of baked goods on the counter. They have vegan and gluten free options as well! Not only is everything super photogenic, the quality of the food and coffee did not disappoint. My sister and I arrived at 9AM. We ordered a flat white, iced matcha latte, avocado toast from the June menu (it's written on a notebook, how cute), and a frittata muffin from the display. The barista was friendly and was able to make our drinks in a timely manner despite the rush of people who came in right after we ordered. We sat down for a minute and before we even fully settled, the food was already prepared. Gotta love fast service! The avocado toast was beautifully presented and I added a poached egg (+$2). Almost too pretty to eat haha. The avocado toast is also relatively cheaper than most cafes if I remember correctly. The frittata muffin was okay, I only took a bite from it but there was a huge grain of salt. Not sure how that happen but my sister ate the rest and said it was fine. The cafe was not crowded at all since we went during the morning but more people started to fill the cafe when we were leaving. I would definitely come back and try other items on the menu! read more

The two hour commute to Brooklyn was totally worth it! Came here with 3 other friends and ordered so much. It was pretty packed with people at 11am when we came for brunch, but it slowly emptied towards the afternoon 1-2pm. The space is beautiful and the interior and outdoors are perfect for pictures/instagram. We ordered 3 lattes, 1 regular, 2 lavender. Lavender Donut. Two avocado smash, one Toastie, and one Strawberry Banana Yogurt Bowl. The price was moderate and nothing was too expensive. I had the avocado smash and it was the best one I've had at any brunch spots in NYC. The toppings without the egg is already so flavorful and the seasoning adds to its perfection. The lattes were pretty regular, and the Toastie was our least favorite. The props, seatings, tables, and set-up of the place is genius. I would definitely come back because this place is photogenic at every corner and the brunch is on point too. read more

So happy i decided to go a half hour out of the way to visit this little spot. I am a huge fan of farm to table, I have so much respect for restaurants like these. It is another level of appreciation, knowing that a place is using the healthiest and freshest and organic ingredients. You know damn well your meal is about to be BOMB AF (for lack of better words). When you walk inside, its like walking into a cute little rustic apartment with plenty of wooden tables and plants, cacti, and ferns beautifully placed throughout the cafe. I happened to sit in the front corner right by the big windows. This was a cozy little spot, covered in little blankets and rugs and trendy decorated pillows. The table had a mason jar filled with colored pencils and hanging on the wall were little baskets filled with adult coloring books! So cute and fun! The menu is handwritten in a little booklet right in front of the register... (although this may be a bit of a bother to some, it was cute and different in my opinion. The employees, behind the counter were friendly and informative. I ordered the avocado toast with a soft boiled egg and a rose mini bunt cake. The flavor was just right, not too sweet and not too tart and the pastry itself was crumbly yet soft and not overly sweet. The toast was delicious, it was a nice thick fluffy yet crisp piece of bread and the avocado was seasoned perfectly with a radish and sprinkled with dukkah; nuts and mixed spices. The soft boiled egg was perfect and the yolk was runny just the way i like it! My chai latte was strong, flavorful and hot! Made on the spot, unlike some other places I've been to where its lukewarm and tastes artificial. This place really is a spot for just about anyone, you could be coming in with a date, a group of friends, family, or like me, alone with a diary and a laptop ( i saw many people set up with a coffee and their macbook doing some work and enjoying the chill ambience this wonderful spot has to offer) this place knows how to accommodate everyone. The only downside would be that it is small, and does get crowded rather quickly so grab a table as fast as you can! Otherwise you may have to wait a bit...however, it is 100% worth the wait. Don't miss out on Stonefruit! I will most definitely be returning to try more menu items and sweets! Overall it was a wonderful calming experience and I cannot wait to go back and bring some friends! read more

Great coffee, pastries (vegan options too) and snacks. I live in the neighborhood and always look forward to visiting them, the vibe is bustling yet relaxing. I love browsing their plant shop in the back with slightly overpriced clangs and handmade pottery. read more

The best avocado toast ever. Love it with the egg. Their coffee is amazing. The espresso walnut banana bread is out of this world. 10/10

This place always seems to have a steady stream of customers and with good reason. The coffee and tea beverages are usually on point but the pastries! The pastries are delicious and they usually have a healthy variety of gluten free/vegan pastries (I'm not vegan and I think they taste great!). Service is pleasant and quick but don't expect much small talk they're usually busy filling orders. Lovely decor with many plants. read more

Literally the rudest and most stuck up employees I've ever met. Have not had one good interaction with them. They will most likely ignore you/pretend not to hear you when you order. Will also yell at you. Food/drinks are pretty good and ambiance is great but cannot go there anymore because the workers are so awful... read more

You can tell the baristas have been trained well, the coffee is always delicious and the staff is friendly. I love that they have gluten free and vegan options for food and pastries. I'd love to see more low sugar options as many are super sugary and not ideal for starting your morning. The GF avocado toast is great, I'd love to see more things like that. In terms of the ordering process, they seem under staffed, the same person takes the order, makes the coffee and checks you out a lot of the time. Sometimes there are two people but that's also not enough during busy times. Unfortunately I have to go to other coffee shops when I'm in a rush but I'd rather go here! Hopefully they'll figure that part out because it's a great coffee shop/cafe otherwise. read more

This spot is my go-to neighborhood coffee shop and that won't be changing anytime soon! The place is an Instagram mirage from the plants, to the plating, to the clientele, but don't let that deter you. The food tastes as good as it looks in photos, the staff are friendly, and honestly, who doesn't like being surrounded by plants? I tend to stick to the Avocado Toast ($8.50 + $2 egg) or the seasonal Toastie ($8) and Yogurt Bowl ($9), but everything is tasty here. They use She Wolf bread for all the toasts. Not to mention, this is one of the few places where I will happily eat a vegan or gluten free baked good - be sure to try the Espresso Banana Bread ($4)! Overall, a really pleasant place to start your day. read more

I just came in today at 4pm with a 13 drink order and also to get sweets for my production crew. The employee surprised, said that he isn't equipped to make such big order because he's by himself. That normally there would be another person with him. This was very suprising as I was the only person waiting to place an order and he wasn't working on anything when I came in. I asked if he was serious. He said yeah, that he couldn't do it. To which I asked if he'd rather lose business than taking the order and he said yeah. Carelessly and politely wished me a great afternoon as if he indeed had done his job. If I was the owner of this shop I'd fire him immediately. Who refuses to serve a paying customer???? read more

Love the space, especially the horticultural wonderland in the back, but at five bucks per iced mocha and my growing impatience for the partially deaf cashier with the pixie cut, I can't see myself returning anytime soon. When did hipsters grow such deep, expansive pockets? read more

Really really like this spot, everything is nice from the plant shop to the ambience of the cafe, however I've never had a cohesive visit to Stonefruit. I go about once a week as I live close by and it's convenient, and always order two drinks for myself and my partner. Nearly every single time I've gone they always forget at least one drink. The barista always seems annoyed asking me what I'm waiting on when I've been standing there for over 10 minutes. read more

I had the monk bowl which was really good, and the employees were super sweet! (It was the day of the tropical storm)

Be careful! My wallet was snatched here. But the owner was very helpful in providing me with footage to provide the police. That said, the coffee is good and they have plenty of hipster vibes if you're looking for some straight-faced employees that don't know how to smile. (JK they're pretty nice but really though, sometimes you look like you wanna die!) This spot is right around the corner from my house so I love coming here to write & focus.

My experience at Stone Fruit was quite pleasant until one of the employees screamed at a patron for picking up the wrong food order. She then turned on her co-workers, loudly criticizing them. There is no excuse for yelling in a workplace. No matter what. And particularly for an honest mistake made by a paying customer or a teammate. It made for an extremely uncomfortable atmosphere. I will not return to a place where people are not kind to each other. read more
