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!!!!

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.

The infamous Nutella Dark chocolate Babka Loaf
Ingrid P.

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.

Cinnamon roll

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!

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.

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.

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.

I tried a few of their pastries and it was flakey and delicious. The service was also very kind. And the shop is super cute with many vintage items. It's fun to just browse around when passing by.

Too Much Chocolate Cookie
Reema S.

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.

a finely curated yardsale cafe.

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.

Chocolate cookie, cinnamon rolls, cheese burekas
Oana D.

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.

Visited Squarrel Cafe for the first time this past weekend. There was a Danganronpa Halloween…read morecupsleeve event that brought me here. I got the Sparkling Lychee Lime drink as park of the event and absolutley loved it. The event had the space very crowded, but staff worked well to get drinks out in a timely manner. The cafe itself is very cute and probably quite spacious on a normal day. The games look very fun as well! I wish I could have stopped to play one. If I am nearby the area again, I will defenitley stop by again- because that drink was just soooo good!

Lovely little gaming cafe with incredibly helpful staff! Will def come back to try the food/drink!…read more -Came here on a Saturday night with a date. Made a reservation on their website beforehand, but it was surprisingly empty. -Staff was super helpful. It was mostly one guy who was helping us whose name i did not get. We had a lot of questions and he never seemed annoyed and even was very excited to offer game recommendations. -I did not get to try food or drink, but I look forward to next time. The rice bowl looks good. -Everything was pretty clean and they have a bathroom for customers. -The games were pretty worn out, but no pieces were missing. I can say from experience at multiple other board game cafes, that's usually the best you can ask for. -It did not have quite the same expansive game collection as other board game cafes, but it did have multiple options for whatever kind of game you're looking for.

People have left some odd reviews of this place, including a one-star review for the restaurant…read moreapparently being highly politicized--a vibe I neither felt nor could visually identify within or without the establishment. I ordered a single burger and a Sudan spiced peanut butter latte, for ~$15! That's pretty inexpensive for New York City. I note this as some consider it overpriced. I suppose the food is fairly inexpensive, the lattes slightly higher than average. The "burger" comes wrapped in a homemade pita with diced cucumber, onion, and tomato, plus a few crispy, thick-cut fries and a yummy house sauce. It was a cool twist of the traditional burger and had a nice flavor. The sauce was like a slightly Mediterranean version of Big Mac sauce. The girl working as the barista and cashier was very nice and friendly. She had a nice presence and warm smile, made suggestions, and even gave a stranger free utensils when they popped on to ask. I think it's definitely worth checking out, and it's a good place for a cheap & simple meal that's still quirky and fun.

I have wanted to try this spot for some time, and wound up a bit disappointed with what I tried…read more They feature a tahini cold brew, which features two things I love dearly, but instead of a rich cold brew it was overly sweet and icy--more like a slushie. Perhaps I should have anticipated that, or my mistake in ordering. I also ordered a Moroccan egg salad sandwich which was substantive but surprisingly bland--sparse with the advertised capers and pickled red onions to give it more punch. I've always loved the look of the spot and the vibe--funky decor, outside and indoor facing counters to order, with some outdoor seating for people watching on Dekalb or heading nearby Ft. Greene Park. I see they are renovating and rebranding a bit and adding some burger component. While I didn't love it, I'd definitely give it another shot.
