Super cute bar with WiFi! Came here last night during the blizzard at around 630pm. Its very spacious, and laptop friendly! Was looking for a spot that I can use to work with a margarita on hand. It did not disappoint. It's def community friendly as I see that there is something going on every night. We did not stay for movie night at 8:30pm. They have bar food and sandwich options which is super convenient for late night study dates! read more

Absolutely horrible experience. I am in shock at the beginning how full was the place having such bad services and food . Then, I realized everyone there was a computer and 1/2 of small drink or free cup of water, and I understood all . I didn't see in any table potencial food or even drinks. So sad to see such cute place w nice idea to have a mini liquor Bar next to panini and coffee section. The ser vices was tremendously bad, I hope at least one person around YELP believe me . The girl that made my sandwich w all that long curly puffy black hair out doing sandwiches, no pick up ponytail or at least a hat on it . All out there on top of food section , (food certification should be around at that moment . She was so upset, mad, bitter she could cut me w those annoyed eyes; she just literally tossed both sandwiches's plates onto the counter, and then--from where she was standing--threw the two bags of potato chips onto the plates. As for the sandwich, it was perhaps the most horrible one I have ever eaten. I ordered the Vegetarian Panini; it was hollow--completely lacking filling--and over-toasted and dry. I hope this bad experience doesn't happen to anyone else. My boyfriend left them a nice tip, though sadly, I don't think either of the two girls behind the counter deserved it--especially the one with her hair down all on top of the food . I am a private chef, I had food certification and Expired ID of food officer, I wish could have something on hand to me give them a lesson !. Obviously I would never stop to that place again !. read more

The West BK is one of my favorite places in Williamsburg to work from. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, plenty of chargers, and hooks for bags under the bar (which I always appreciate). It becomes a bar at night and they have open mic nights and movie viewings. The staff is always so so nice, even taking the time to have a conversation about the music playing or whatever. Their drinks are good and their food was surprisingly great! Their sandwiches are all reasonably priced so it's a great place to hunker down early in the day and stay through lunch. It's also a super convenient place to get your morning coffee before hopping on the L or the G. The only reason it's getting 4 stars is that some patrons can be a bit rowdy, even during the day. This is at no fault of the business but since they serve alcohol all day, there can be the stray drinker at 1pm on a Tuesday. This has only really bothered me once or twice out of the many times I've been so don't let it sway you away. read more

Super cute coffee spot! Stopped in on a Friday morning around 10:30. The place was popping, but we still managed to find two seats. This would be a great place for meeting up with friends or getting some work done as long as you don't mind the noise. Despite the crowd, my latte was made quickly. The coffee was delicious and prices were normal. read more

This place makes my favorite PSL. ITS SO TASTY. Pistachio latte also great. Perfect neighborhood coffee spot. Solid happy hour as well, and the earl grey cocktail ($7 at happy hour) is worth trying. read more

Cocktail bar? But also kinda divey? They show NFL games.. but don't put on the sound.. and also play a lot reggaeton? Honestly wildly confused by this place I literally don't know what vibe it gives or how to feel about it but I think I like it read more

Servers are tryhard wannabes but they're open late, have wifi and outlets. Recommend buying the cheapest thing on the menu and letting it sit while you get your work done. Always tip here - not because service is good but because I feel bad for them read more

Somehow this is the only place that serves breakfast burritos during breakfast time in the neighborhood.... Its on the smaller size and they don't have salsa, only hot sauces (the san diegan in me died a little lol). I recommend just getting the plain burrito, the bacon isn't worth the extra $2. There's barely in it and its actually canadian ham not crispy american bacon. read more

There were two crazy ppl who didn't tip the bartender who were here. They were something else but the guys where chill and took care of it; then later omg so weird. I love this place, the drafts are amazing read more

Cozy neighborhood coffee/shop bar in Williamsburg. It's like a mix of a dive bar and a coffee house - there's plenty of seating inside and WiFi so you'll catch folks working here. Definitely want to come back and do that as well. Salted Caramel Latte ($5.50) - tasty and tasted the salted caramel flavor. It was super sweet and warming - though the caramel does mask the coffee flavor. They have a $6 breakfast burrito that I want to come back and try as well. read more

Cool and lively bar on a Saturday night. I thought it was very cool that it's a coffee shop during the day and bar at night. Had a few drinks and ended up buying the turkey provolone pressed sandwich. I wish it had pickles or jalapeños, but it was a tasty sandwich for a good price. read more

I came here for happy hour on a Monday night around 7:30pm. It was pretty packed, but my friend and I managed to grab two bar seats at the window. We paid about $13 (including tip) for a beer and a glass of wine. Really cozy vibe inside, and I think they host movies/community events sometimes, too. read more

Great experience!! I got the frappe, spiked! The bar tender was flexible with mixtures, super friendly and hospitable! I also have tried the Bloody Mary, it was spicy and delicious. I can't wait to come back, it was a great vibe. read more

The draft beers here are so good. They have lots a varieties to choose from. Came here two weeks ago and had the Beer Project LIC sour hour. And couldn't wait to have it again and they switched it out for another sour beer that I wasn't too fond of. So opted for the Brooklyn Ale. Cozy backyard seating. But tables need to be wiped down every once in awhile. Especially the table with the umbrella. Being that it's tiled. Bartenders are pleasant and welcoming and allow u to try any draft beer u like! I believe they have some food options. Just haven't tried them. Just here for the beers!! read more

I stumbled upon this hidden gem after an afternoon of thrifting with my best friend and it was the perfect break. Upon entering the bar/cafe, we presented our IDs and Vax cards then ordered our drinks. I ordered the Bells Two Hearted IPA and sat with my friend across from the bar near the round tabletops. Overall, I enjoyed the beer, the ambiance and the service. The staff were so kind and considerate, and opened/closed my tab easily. I also enjoyed the music and the energy. Perfect place to catch up with a friend or study and grab a drink. read more

best coffee shop in williamsburg. the staff is amazing, so is the coffee and i also love the breakfast burrito and avocado toast for something quick on the go. read more

The vibes are chill, the food is good, the coffee is good, etc !!! it's big enough to work there and they have a back patio. Luvs it

I go out of my way and pass by several other coffee shops because I like the west THAT much. My inner basic bitch was so happy to discover that they're the only local spot (aside from Starbucks) that serves pumpkin spice lattes during the fall/winter. They have a couple of other seasonal latte flavors like maple and turmeric as well, and their cold brew is tasty and strong. As for food, I've only tried the breakfast burrito, which was delish, but I know they have a few other basic menu items (they dont have a full kitchen) along with a full bar. Speaking of the bar, they have happy hour until 8 which includes several drink specials including their signature cocktail (the double entendre) for $7. It's a cocktail made with gin thats infused in-house with earl grey tea - it's truly a phenomenal drink, and that's coming from someone who hates gin. If you made it this far and still can't tell by now... I love this place. It's an all-around winner and everything I want in an establishment. read more

Service is amazing. But the food is just very bland. I order the Hot Pressed Turkey and Provolone sandwich which includes spicy mustard. I didn't event taste the spicy mustard at all the bread to meat ratio was not great so much bread and not enough meat or cheese and once again no spicy mustard. On another occasion I order chai and it tasted very watery, not enough chai or almond milk. However they do have a line in the morning so I guess their doing something right. But just not for me. I may try their to-go cocktails read more

This place place is okay. The coffee is decent and the vibes are nice. It's a good place for groups and meeting a friend for coffee. I will say I got their vegan BLT sandwich and welp it was pretty disappointing. The bed was kinda weird and it had a few pieces of soggy looking lettuce on it. It really didn't have much flavor either. I would say skip the food here. I haven't tried anything else but after that I was pretty disheartened go try anything else. They have some pastries too, but they also look a little sad haha I do love the idea of the place tho! I love places that are coffee shops during the day and bars at night. I think that's always such a good transition and it creates a really special vibe that feels more welcoming and homey. read more

I love the retro rustic feel to the joint, not 1960-70s, more so the 80s. Hard to explain but I fucking love the place makes me feel. I ordered a cold brew, black. My one statement led into a debate with my boy who's saying that Starbuck's cold brew is better. I say the cold brew here was unique and had a smoother taste to it. Another thing I love about this place that I think that really stands out above any other cafe joint I've ever been to is there condiment selection. I mean for fuck sake, they have fucking agave syrup! (Which I added to my coffee, delicious ) Overall, I definitely recommend this cafe spot to everyone, enjoy that rustic ambiance that I love so much! read more

Tried this place on a Saturday night, and was moderately crowded. It has an indoor outdoor place (outdoor place had a lot of smokers). This is a perfect dive bar - really liked the chill vibe, great service and thrifty drinks. Staff is really friendly, drinks are really cheap - this hidden bar is a welcome relief from the over priced neighborhood restaurants/bars. read more

The West - Entrance - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

While I did not partake in the food, bar and cocktail services that this place has to offer, I did enjoy a strong and delicious coffee one morning. This spot was a short 30 second walk from the place I was staying in Brooklyn, so this was an obvious choice to get my morning brew. They had a cute little take out window that was attached to the side of the bar where I placed my order. The bartender/server/barista was friendly and had my coffee ready to go within two minutes. It was efficient, to say the least. This area of Brooklyn has plenty of bars and restaurants, but when I passed by here one of the evenings, it was packed. If you're looking for a morning pick me up, I can speak from experience that their coffee will do just the trick. read more

Cute place to hang! I came on a weekend around midday and had no problem grabbing a spot with a friend. I had an iced chai tea latte and unfortunately it was pretty weak - it basically tasted like milk over ice - but like I said, it's a nice spot to chill. Baristas were friendly. read more

It's dark inside. There's WiFi. They played cool music by artists like Kwaye on the Saturday morning post Christmas 2019 when I went in to pick up iced coffee and ricotta and jam on toast. The barista man was very friendly. Many of their muffins and snacks are vegan friendly. Oat, coconut, almond and soy non dairy milk alternatives are available. The iced coffee is excellent and will set you back almost $5. Get a punch card if you're a regular so you can eventually get a free coffee. read more

If you're looking to be transported to a wannabe hipster bar full of Wisconsin imports, look no further, this BK trash hole is just the place for you. Male bartender was rude clearly annoyed, maybe his mom didn't pay his rent this month. Him and the female behind the bar had zero knowledge about what's in the food and advised me to just not get anything at all. Should have listened. I try very hard to not write bad reviews because I myself am in the service industry, but I just couldn't help myself. read more

This place made me puke because their cold brew tap was dirty. But I love getting drunk here 10/10 please come here.

Absolutely favorite place to go. It's a Café/Bar which sounds strange at first, but it works. The staff there are super nice and their morning menu is really good. My favorite is the breakfast burrito. I wasn't a coffee person before, so I spent years missing out on this place. But I slowly started getting into coffee and this place always makes it perfect. My favorite coffee that they offer is the Salted Caramel Iced Latte. But they offer other great things like Kombucha, Matcha Lattes, seasonal goodies and more. They open the bar around 1pm and I love the frozen Painkillers that they have. They also offer frozen Coca Cola and they can add rum or anything else you would want to add to it. The coolest thing they do is their movie nights on Sundays. They show classics and sometimes broadcast events like the Oscars, SuperBowl or World Cups. I spent a month every morning at the West working on my writing, and it's the best place to do so. It's dark and has the sounds of the neighborhood but not so distracting. They also have a backyard in which they have a smokers corner, umbrellas and tables. This place can get packed on the right night so definitely try to get there on time. Would recommend this to any coffee lover or anyone that wants a quick hangout. read more

New to the neighborhood I've been going to the chain coffee place down the block for all my tea needs as I'm not a coffee drinker anymore. A few of the customers at the laundromat have been talking about The West and how good the coffee is. We just opened Laundry on Keap about 3 weeks ago and don't really know the neighborhood. Well today I decided to give The West a try and Holly coffee was this the best decision I've ever made. The smell of freshly brewed coffee hits you before you even walk in, I was immediately transported back to my childhood in the Dominican Republic and my grandmother brewing coffee on a open fire pit in the backyard, as she did twice a day every day. I ended up getting a ginger tea but the coffee aroma was so powerfully intoxicating that I could not resist. When I got back to the laundromat I sat there sipping my coffee, but in my mind I was back home with grandma enjoying a much simpler time. Needless to say, I am a coffee drinker again and The West is my new favorite coffee place. As for the ginger tea I'm sure it's amazing but I haven't come down from my trip down coffee memory lane. read more

I'll keep this brief...but a couple of major updates to my previous two reviews are in order. The espresso drinks have gotten better, driven, I believe, by great espresso. They are using Mass Hysteria Espresso from Forty Weight Coffee Roasters, and it is fantastic every time. Middle of the road roast, a little funk, like there is a touch of natural process in the blend, and a nice minerality of sorts. I still don't think the baristas are the best, but they do a fine enough job, and they are friendly. The cold brew actually isn't as good as I remember unfortunately. They have put some work into the place, cleaning it up a little and making it more comfortable, which is nice. Ultimately, it is a 4-star experience, but they accept the Cups app, so I am giving an extra star for that. read more
