Our favorite go too. Over an hour drive and worth every minute. Food is fantastic. Fresh homemade pasta with fantastic choices. Desserts are amazing. Love gelato with espresso topping. Service is custom and thoughtful. Ambiance - hard surfaces so can get rather noisy. We get there early and sit up front. Either way, noise will not stop us and we're in our 80s. Enough said. read more

We do not find many of places for brunch in the area. Kova is truly a gem. Food is good. Love the pancakes and burgers. Order their creme brulee lattes and matcha. Really enjoy them. A little wait on the food but place is nice and chill to have coffee while waiting for the food. read more

Saw this new brunch spot in Bensonhurst on social media and decided to try it out. Nice interior with a good amount of tables. There's a cute seating area in the front for waiting and just a quick coffee break, if you don't want a full dine-in meal. This cafe/brunch spot is kinda casual; you can walk in and grab any available table/seating. The servers will take your order and serve you. We ordered the Mexican omelette, truffle cheeseburger, and French toast. The menu is pretty standard compared to other cafes/brunch spots. The Mexican omelette had jalapeños, which made the omelette spicy, rather than the usual green peppers other restaurants put in. I don't mind it but just a FYI for those who can't eat spicy. The truffle cheeseburger came with fries but was kinda disappointing -- usually truffle dishes are pretty overpowering with the distinct truffle smell/taste but it was lacking in this dish. If anything, the cheese overpowered the whole burger. The French toast is just okay, in my opinion -- not too sweet. Overall, food was standard -- nothing outstanding. Service was OK and could be improved. One of the servers gave our dish to the table next to us and we had to point out their mistake. Mistakes happen but then I overheard them forgetting to place a food item for the same table, so I'm thinking the servers might need extra training. She also spilled water on our table. read more

Stopped in for a birthday party and love the cute atmosphere . Had the opportunity to try a bunch of drinks including strawberry matcha, latte, orange and espresso, creamsicle. The creamsicle latte was definitely our favorite. Quick service but we haven't really dined in prior to the birthday party. We also tried their food which was average. read more

The restaurant looks very unsuspecting from the outside! I almost missed it walking by. The inside is beautifully decorated. It's also quite spacious with tables in the back. The staff were also friendly and nice. They only seat you if you have at least 3 people in your party (for bigger groups). The menu is quite basic with some interesting drinks. I ordered the oolong latte which was quite sweet. The food however was quite disappointing. It did not taste good at all. From the various dishes we tried: pancakes, too dry and the syrup takes forever to come out. The other food was just meh. The tacos were not bad. Overall: a nice aesthetic place to relax and chat but the food isn't very good. I would stick to drinks. read more

Tried something I never tried before which was an orange americano. I had asked if it was syrup with the espresso and I was told it's made with orange juice. I enjoyed it very much. It was interesting and you would never think to put those together. . I've been trying to recreate it at home but it's not the same. The place is a good spot to have breakfast/brunch. (I haven't tried yet). It's a nice place to sit and chat and enjoy a nice a cup of coffee/tea. read more

Coming here, I passed by and had to backtrack because it's easy to miss . I came here just for coffee, but their menu has a lot of selections for food. I ordered a flat white with oat milk to stay. It came out quickly, and the front area is nice to stay and enjoy a drink. The coffee wasn't as good as I had hoped, it tasted quite burnt. Prices are a bit high for the area, as well. read more

Great new brunch addition to the neighborhood! The front of the store is great for coffee dates or for those who want to read. We came for brunch and was greeted with friendly and attentive wait staff. We ordered the French toast, side of eggs which we decided to have as scrambled, and the truffle quesadilla. The French toast came with a generous 3 slices and was soft and had some nice hints of pumpkin. The quesadilla surprisingly came out in taco shells. The meat was very flavorful but was a tad dry so we decided to add our eggs to make for a great make shift breakfast taco haha. Coffee was strong and I enjoyed my oat milk latte. Kova has beautiful decor and ample seating. read more

Quaint little cafe at the bottom of Brooklyn. An American style cafe that's a little pricy for the area but it's cute. Food wise it's very mediocre compared to Manhattan standards. I went twice to try more of the menu but it was so so. First time, I ordered a pulled chicken which would have been so much better with pork. It was a bit dry and I asked for avocado to be added but I literally got a slice. I also got a strawberry matcha latte which was not bad. Second time, I got the kova quesadilla and I don't think they know what a quesadilla is because it came like a taco. The beef had zero flavor and the sauce was a bit spicy. I also got the kova latte which had almost zero flavor despite having chocolate and matcha. read more

I've come here many times and it never disappoints. The Eggs Royale Benedict is always spot on. I finish everything every time. Their hollandaise sauce is unique and refreshing, and I really like it. I've also tried the beef quesadilla, which was super tasty but a little greasy for me. The matcha is strong, creamy, and definitely a favorite. Service is always great too. My only note is they could use better cutting knives since the butter knives make it hard to cut through some dishes. It's one of my favorite spots in the neighborhood and I highly recommend it! Also very cute decor. read more

Low key brunch spot. The foods pretty simple and good; can't really mess up on. Egg royale was good not fishy at all but too much salad. Salad was extremely bitter. Pancakes were good and soft. The rest was ok as well. The service was good and food came out pretty quick as well. read more

Such a hidden gem located in Bensonhurst! My friend and I ordered a truffle cheeseburger and an egg benedict ( the Kova signature dishes!!) and it did not disappoint. The cheeseburger was full of flavor and the truffle was not overpowering. My friend said the Benedict was cooked to perfection with a nice runny egg and Hollandaise sauce. Plus service was so friendly and accommodating! They made the trip worth it! Upon my 2nd visit, I tried out their drinks this time to bring to my coworkers and most of my coworkers loved the crème brûlée lattes. It's literally the dessert as a drink haha! And if you're not an espresso/coffee, there's also matcha lattes which is blended so well and creamy. Definitely put this on your bucket list if you're in the area or a local! It's a must try 5/5 read more

I love this place. It's in the neighborhood. The staff is so nice and friendly. The food is delicious. My go to is hot chocolate with a shot of espresso and they make it so delicious!! The breakfasts are good. I've had the French Toast and my husband loves the omelettes. For lunch, I like the grilled cheese with tomato. And the hamburgers are really good as well. Definitely a must try. You won't be disappointed. read more

I wanted to like KOVA. For a few reasons, there aren't many hip new places in this area offering American breakfast / brunch, but also serves as a local coffee bar. The meals are slightly over priced for the neighborhood... looking at around $15-17 for an egg dish. I came here on a Saturday afternoon and got the eggs Benedict. Mediocre at best, I wish I took a photo. I decided to order this because it came with a green salad. I also ordered a side of fries. When the order arrived (without utensils) it was without a salad and only fries. I asked the girl didn't the dish come with a salad? She said oh, I thought you said you wanted to substitute it for fries. I said no, I ordered the dish and asked for a side of fries. She said ok, came back and said that it would be an additional $8 dollars for salad. I asked, salad came with the order. Wouldn't I be charged for the side of fries? She said oh yeah it's the same thing... I said ok no problem. 25 min later arrived a dry arugula salad with 12 diced red onions in uneven squares, a few pieces of tomato plainly in a black bowl. By this point I and my friend had already finished our meals. Wasn't sure what to do with the salad and decided to take it to go. My advice, wait till the place gets a rhythm in the kitchen and can reasonably get dishes out in a timely fashion. Otherwise, service can definitely be improved, training the staff on how to take an order would be a great start. read more

Amazing experience! Just hosting a private event for my daughter's birthday at Kova. Everything on catering menu I ordered comes out with nice presentation and delicious.

Came here yesterday for brunch after hearing about this from a few friends and the inside is cute and trendy. Menus are on a scannable QR code. This place is only a few blocks from my house and I can see a lot of potential for this place. The food was good but it took well over an hour to come and it wasn't that packed on a Thursday afternoon. If I hadn't ordered a drink I would have been HANGRY. The guy came around to refill our water but it would have been nice to have an update on our food that took over an hour to come out. I got the eggs Benedict and it was good not amazing but not bad, came with a side salad. My friend got the lobster croissant and that was really good, the flavors were on point although the croissant was too hard IMO.. one friend got the cheeseburger and another one got two eggs. Overall everyone devoured their food after having waited well over an hour. This is more of a 3.5 stars but I decided to round up... this place isn't cheap but neither is brunch. read more

This is such a cute restaurant ! The staff were pleasant. Food and coffee we had were delicious. We had eggs Benedict and truffle quesadilla with sides of spicy fries and shishito peppers. For coffee, I had the crème brûlée latte which was one of the best coffees I had during my trip. read more

Stopped in for a weekend brunch. Thankfully we were seated within 10 minutes or so of arriving. The crowd is mainly groups of older teens taking up seats with their drinks which is unfortunate during prime meal time. We must have come during a time when the chef took a break because the dishes we ordered felt relatively simple. 2 French toasts, and 1 burger&fries. We clocked it - at least 20/25 minutes from the time we ordered until the food arrived which is far too long, not to mention the table seated after us got their food more or less the same time. I guess I would say worth the wait had it been true. The French toast was not very good for the price (I've had plenty of French toasts!) paid. I was also disappointed in the blueberries as they weren't sweet. Again, given the cost I'd recommend some butter & whipped cream along with an option to add chocolate syrup or something else besides plain old syrup. We also ordered a side of bacon and received 3 thin strips of bacon, albeit crispy and tasty. I really wanted to like the food but it fell short of expectations. The staff were nice and attentive. read more

The music had a lot of bass. It was a little unsettling. They took the order and it didn't take too long for the food to come. I am not a coffee drinker and I thought it was watered down. The truffle beef quesadillas were not good. It had some truffle taste and the beef tasted like burger ground beef. The French toast was also too dry for my likings. The best was the egg Royale but it wasn't good enough for me to go back... read more

Good food, i enjoyed the kova quesadillas and matcha latte. Bathroom was really clean.

I love this place! Both the food and the service are excellent. Their spin on a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich is out of this world.

Got the eggs royale but the sauce was a bit too heavy for my liking. the oolong tea was great. Hope to see this place grow and become a staple this neighborhood! read more
