Their chocolate babka is life-changing. The two times I've been in, the staff was friendly and efficient. Only "negative": Not enough seating. It's been quiet and I have no real complaints; however, I'd stay a lot longer (and spend more on babka) if they added more tables. I wouldn't even grump about having to sit in the middle of the room. For the sake of that babka. read more

Best babka I've ever had, ohhhh my goodness. Best bakery I've been to in a long time, and I am bakery-obsessed. Already dreaming of how and when I can make my way back to Park Slope just for this and the super chocolate-chip cookie. But that babka, this subtle mix of Nutella and chocolate (I don't even like Nutella) and the smooth, moistness of it all is so perfect, with this sugared little crispy bottom. Shoutout to Omri, a talented stop-motion artist working his last week, who was so warm and helpful to me. 5 stars!!!! read more

Ummmm this bakery is damn good. The chocolate chip cookie. Mmm mmm mmm. I also got the cinnamon bun. I bought it but didn't eat it while it was fresh. So it's my fault. I can't speak negatively of it. I also really enjoyed the interaction with the guy behind the register. Really cool guy. Overall. Very good. They just need to get some cold foam for their drinks and they will be complete read more

I love this spot! The baked goods are always on point! When they have the burnt cheesecake slices, I can't resist! Their coffee is magical and staff are always knowledgeable about the menu items. It is a small spot so can't really sit here and work remotely though people have tried. read more

Yardsale Cafe - Inside - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

My dearest friend Nicole, volunteered to drive me to Bklyn, as I contemplated all day to go; because trains in the 5 boros run on a holiday schedule or just don't operate sufficiently! Pure nightmare. And I just don't like driving to Bklyn. Anywho...we drove from Manhattan, in a monsoon, insane traffic on the FDR to buy the infamous Nutella Dark Chocolate Babka Loaf at Yardsale Cafe. OMG‼ in less than 1 hour. I called Yardsale Cafe, they close at 5pm on Saturday and Omri, said he'll wait for me because we were very closed. Nicole & I arrived at 4:58pm. The welcoming was priceless and genuine, as they prepared to close. I never felt rushed, and that my animated energetic personality was truly well received. Loved itIt was so well worth it, meeting OMRI, buying my Nutella Dstk Chocolate Babka Loaf, and tasting the most heavenly cookie ever, The deliciously soft, warm Butter Pecan cookie. Simply AMAZING & a MUST have. .Actually in three (3) hours, I had the time & pleasure of my life. We visited local eateries like PATTIEBELL, Jamaican Food. BEST Oxtails, WOW‼ Ok, I'm on a mission (i must pray about), to rate the top "5" things most people enjoy, seriously sort after and they are: (1) Babka Loafs (i.e. Nutella Dark Chocolate Babka Loaf), (2) all natural ice cream (i.e. Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory) & (3) Little dessert cakes (i.e. Honey Cake), (4) best cookies & (5) Best bialys (Orwasher's). From Manhattan, Bronx, Bklyn, Queens & Staten Island. As a consumer first, I matter, as my insight, candid truth, advice & experience that should never be bias. However, customer service & care does matter the most to me. Hospitality, Kindness & Customer Service can make or break any dish, food or menu, in my opinion. I've tried a few Babka Loaves, all leaves you wanting more...but which one hit it out the park with a home run? That's the question, so stay tuned...Thanks for reading; as I do really appreciate you & YELP for this ICONIC platform for you. read more

This place has the BEST pastries!! (Better than Winner imo!) The Nutella babka is unreal. A perfect sweetness, a soft laminated texture, and huge too! (I wish I had a picture before I devoured it). And the cinnamon roll is incredible! I like the mild cream cheese topping, and it's perfect warmed up. Don't miss out on this place! read more

Dark Chocolate Nutella Babka 10/10!!!! I had a piece of this last week and it was so good that I went by in the morning before I flew home so I could buy a loaf. I wish I had brought home five loaves. I have had babka before, such as a loaf from Trader Joe's, which was seasonal. It was actually chocolate as well, but I would say five out of 10 at best . The loaf from Yardsale seriously is solid 10/10, no way you will ever find a better babka. read more

It's just the best babka out there. I've tested it even on my babka purist friends who swear on Oneg's (which I think is mediocre) and I'd say it comes out ahead of Breads Bakery in a competition. I mean it's a nutella chocolate babka! Of course it's going to be fantastic. I haven't tried their other baked goods yet but will do on my next visit. read more

It was quite hot when I was strolling around with a friend and I needed something refreshing so I got the lemonade which was nice and tart. I don't know how I didn't notice at first but the whole place was full of collectibles just like a yardsale (hence the name)! It was a unique experience for a cafe and it was enthralling looking at everything they carried. The cafe had a familiar and comforting vibe. read more

This place is exquisite. Elite. Ham and cheese croissant , chocolate chip cookie (BEST EVER! ) Just try it. You will see! read more

Service was superb, along with the soy latte. Really appreciated the soy option considering most coffee shops have removed it in place of oat milk. Ham and cheese croissant was very thick and dense. The babkas were good but super decadent and felt oily. Not a big fan of the pastries. read more

Is $7.98 too much for a cold brew with an extra shot of espresso? That would be close to $10 with tip included. I don't know. I'm confused. Cool stuff in here besides coffee btw read more

The only words that come to mind with which I can explain my encounter with this café is fated coincidence. As someone who lives on the border of Sunset Park and Park Slope, my allegiances are usually with businesses on the southern side of the invisible class divide. I left my yoga class on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, sunny with a cool winter breeze going through my ponytail'd hair. It must be divine intervention for when I turned around and looked at the red awning, I was immediately drawn to check out this unassuming little café, tucked in snuggly along a long exhaustive row of retail real estate. Staff was so friendly and welcoming. The inside of this café is so warm and welcoming with its utilitarian floor, and dark wood walls, with all sorts of knickknacks for sale, and an expensive collection of records, together with the faint trill of edgy music of Tame Impala. Walking in here felt like a big warm hug. I was in the mood for a treat so I went with the too much chocolate chip cookie. Easily one of the most delicious chocolate chip cookies I have ever had, it was gooey in the center, chock full of chocolatey goodness, and crispy around the edges, and on the outside. Just an absolute textural dream. For $4.50. I could not believe the quality of the baked good that I was chomping on. I will definitely be back here to try their other offerings, but I just absolutely had to come here to sing Praise to this beautiful little neighborhood nook. read more

I can't not give this place rave reviews. It's a Time Machine to a childhood i partaked (partook?!!) in. OMG and they make one of all time favorite deserts-for-brunch: cheesecake. My aunt used to make it fresh for Thanksgiving. I'm not going to be there this year so it totally hit the spot. Nostalgia galore. read more

This place is phenomenal. Their burnt cheesecake is incredible, we get it instead of cake for birthdays and celebrations. Coffee is also great and the matcha lemon cookie is SO good. The service is excellent too, the baristas are super friendly and chatty, will ask about your day, etc. And honestly maybe the best part is that the interior is full of cool old stuff (like you'd find at a yard sale!) and you're never bored waiting for your order. read more

So it's a cool looking place, love that they sold all the records, comics, and trading cards. The chocolate chip cookie was great, and love the service. The reason I came here was because I had heard they made one of the best cinnamon buns in Brooklyn. Honestly, this might have been one of the worst cinnamon buns I've ever eaten, I don't like the supermarket ones that come in a can, but even those were better than this. It was the texture of extremely undercooked pasta, I had to get a steak knife to cut it, and my jaw was aching by the end of it from trying to chew it. I bought 3 of them and threw 2 out. read more

Great place in the neighborhood we were staying in for a coffee or pastry. A bit of nostalgia hits you when you walk in as they sell vintage trading cards! So many of my childhood memories came back so vividly. The coffee was great. The cinnamon roll was delicious. I missed out on trying a slice of the burnt cheesecake, but can't wait to try it next time. read more

Hidden gem in Brooklyn. Best pastries and vibes. Employees are sweet and play good music. Go walk in Greenwood after.

Excellent cappuccino and cinnamon bun! Cute atmosphere! Was in the neighborhood and decided to try. Yes would recommend!

The cinnamon roll and dark chocolate hot chocolate were amazing. I asked if we could heat up the roll and he kindly did it and was very helpful when i asked questions. these are truly the best cinnamon rolls i've ever tasted and will be coming back when i visit NYC again. read more

This place is so cute. It has old vintage items for sale on the shelf when you walk in service was great and the coffee was even better! Coming back for sure read more

Love this cute local cafe for their baked goods. I'll walk my dog in the morning and stop in to grab some freshly baked delights. Nutella babka to die for and a cinnamon bun that will put same on the rest. Both of these are definitely not for a single person to eat, please be responsible and share with a loved one. read more

Woah. The vibe was giving -visit to your hip Jewish grandmother's house-. Cute little knick knacks around for sale. In the case, the pastries didn't look that impressive. I went for the Nutella babka and the chocolate chip cookie. Omg. The babka was crusty, flaky, sticky, sweet and chocolatey. Couldn't stop eating it. I thought the cookie was going to be hard but it was crunchy with the gooey-est center and perfect amount of salt. Iced Maple Hojicha was refreshing and the perfect balance of bitter and sweet. Well worth the trip. read more

Judging by the reviews from a year ago and including today Yardsale cafe is a nice spot. There are vintage postcards, comics, and assorted knick knacks everywhere so you will definitely see something new on each visit. They have a small backyard to enjoy your pasties & coffees. Ordered an everywhere croissant and a butter croissant both were flakey and soft. I feel anything "everything" is killer so I have nothing but praise. Along with a cappuccino it was the perfect start to an enjoyable Sunday with my wife. The ladies were what you want customer service wise, friendly and engaging. We will be back. read more

I would give this place more stars if I could. I ordered three babkas to bring back to family and friends in Florida and everyone was blown away by how amazing they were. The staff were super friendly, and I would definitely come back for more. read more

Yardsale is my favorite coffee and bakery in Brooklyn. The pastries, drinks and the vibe are incredible. Some of my favorites to order are the babkas, ham & cheese croissant and olive burekes with a good cappuccino. Shawn, the owner is the sweetest and the kindest person and he made me feel at home every time I go there. Can't wait to come back! read more

True life blood: I go here essentially every day that I'm in town. By far the best coffee and pastries in like a ~20 block radius, possibly in all of Park Slope. I review virtually nothing on Yelp and have to give them five out of pure gratitude. read more

Yardsale is a such a cute, beautiful gem in the neighborhood! The store has a really unique and inviting feel. I love that everything in the shop is for sale and has clearly been hand selected and curated with care. Aside from that, the pastries are to die for! My favorites were the burnt cheesecake and the chocolate babka - easily the best in Brooklyn, though the cookies and croissants I tried were also amazing. Highly recommend this cafe/shop to anyone in the area for a coffee, a pastry, and a really unique ambience! read more

Such a unique concept. Coffee and vintage items for sale. It is like walking through a yard/garage sale. Customer service was excellent. The latte was good, but a bit small for the price. There is only one size option. They have a variety of pasties, all looked very good. read more

I bought a babka for gift. I have been buying from here for years. My friend who was the recipient informed me it was stale and hard. I went to the store and claimed and the young worker just said sorry. Didn't offer to give another one nor give me back my money. Just so you all know. Traders Joe's babka for 5.99 was 100% better read more

3.5 stars. I came here early last fall, and it was great to sit outside and enjoy my chai latte (which I really enjoyed) on the precipice of cold weather starting to seep in. They serve their teas and drinks in such cute and unique vintage-looking teapots and teacups. I believe the owner bakes the pastries and desserts himself, and they change a little every day. The burnt cheesecake was delightful, as was the cinnamon chocolate babka. From what I've heard, the banana bread is also fantastic but tends to sell out very quickly. I'd suggest grabbing lunch elsewhere and stopping by here for a drink and a pastry or two, because the larger plates were completely skippable. My friend's anchovy plate was $12, which (as you can see in my photo) was so scanty and honestly a ripoff. I got a prosciutto and mozzarella sandwich drizzled with balsamic vinegar, and it was okay, but the bread was firm. It did the trick to fill my hungry belly though. Things are on the pricier end here, but I think I've been saying that about more and more spots in NYC. Remember when you used to be able to get a chai latte for a couple of bucks? I miss those days. While it doesn't quite surpass the likes of other great coffee/food shops in the area like Roots Cafe and Southside Coffee Shop, it's still a nice addition with a decent amount of outdoor seating. read more

The consistent quality of pastries is what keeps me coming here after three years and it's one of the few coffee shops in the South Slope that bakes croissants on premises. Croissant texture is exceptional and just the right size for breakfast or something to nosh while you browse their selection of toy cars, cards and memorabilia from your millennial and gen-x childhood. If you can eat the cinnamon roll without getting sticky fingers you didn't really eat it. read more

Fabulous! Always fresh pastries and coffee! Love the atmosphere.Would recommend highly. Also enjoy the items chosen for sale around the shop. read more

Small cafe in Brooklyn with really friendly staffs! It's a small cafe with minimal seating inside. My coworker recommended this place and brought in a whole babka for the team to tried. This place became my go to whenever I crave babkas. My husband and I absolutely their babkas. We've gone back 3x just for their babka! I have tried babkas from other places and it cannot compare. read more

Excellent pastry shop. Picked up a spinach and cheese bureka, too much chocolate cookie, and Nutella babka. Bureka was flakey with a crispy cheese base. Liberally covered in sesame seeds. Cookie was soft with big chunks of chocolate. Nice balance of sweetness and saltiness. Babka was my favorite. Super soft and incredibly rich. On par with any of the Jewish bakeries in NYC. They were well stocked even though we came by around 4 pm. Service was friendly and quick. read more

Around 11:30 ish. Upon walking in another patron graciously allowed me to enter before he left which already started the "happy" process. Greeted by 2 workers who helped me with my Babka delimma. I ended up with the Nutella n Dark Chocolate Babka. They do not skimp on the filling and it was good...with a hot cup of coffee. At almost $20 this will be a cheat n treat day thing. I need to try the cinnamon babka next thi. read more

From the customer service to the pastries everything is a 5/5 at this place. A cute little hidden gem that I see myself enjoying for a long time.

Strongly recommend to drop in and pick up some Pastries. read more
