Brooklyn's Best Cafes
coffee buddy
Buschwick, Williamsburg
One of my obvious favorites for the best coffee in Brooklyn is Partners Coffee. This was the first post on my page, so I thought it only fair that this was the first Brooklyn coffee shop I'm talking about.
This store has two locations in Brooklyn, one in Bushwick and the other is one of the bestCafes in Williamsburg, this is the place I visit most often.
Their ice cold drink is top notch, no sugar or milk required. They also serve dough donuts which are always delicious and their monkey bread is very good. You can always buy your coffee beans to take home at this Brooklyn coffee shop.
Joe Coffee Company Mug
Alturas de Dyker
The Cup of Joe Coffee Company is a coffee shop in Dyker Heights, a popular neighborhood to visit during the winter holidays.Christmas lights in Dyker HeightsThey're all the rage, but this Brooklyn coffee shop is great any time of year.
My favorite order at this Brooklyn diner when I decide to treat myself is an iced coffee with toasted marshmallow sauce and chocolate oat milk. Yes, you read that right, chocolate oat milk! It tastes like s'more in liquid form, it never disappoints. The staff is always friendly, so it's always a pleasure to stop by this store.
Varieties of coffee roasters.
Bushwick, Greenpoint, Williamsburg
Variety Coffee Roasters is another great option for the best coffee shops in Brooklyn, as it has several locations, including Williamsburg, Greenpoint, and Bushwick.
I had the cold drink, the hot cappuccino and the iced chai latte, all of which were great, but I have to say that the iced chai stood out the most to me. If you like chai, I recommend you try it.
Not to mention that this store is very cute on vacation!
black star bakery
Williamsburg
Another Brooklyn coffee shop that I love is Black Star Bakery, which only has one store in Brooklyn in Williamsburg. The cold drink with a splash of almond milk is great, but if you like it a little sweeter, I recommend the mocha, delicious!
And if you fancy a bite to eat, they have a selection of sweet and savory croissants that are perfectly flaky!
Daily
Bensonhurst
Tous les Jours is a Korean-owned French-Asian-inspired bakery and cafe with two cafes in Brooklyn. Their locations are those of 86ºcalle 8ºCome on, both of usBensonhurst.
When you enter this store, you enter the paradise of sweets; Croissants, pastries, macarons, cheesecake, you name it! My favorite at this place is a regular vanilla iced coffee made with skim milk, but I've always wanted to try the lavender latte.
Kakaomühle (Mouth of Heaven)
bay ridge
Cocoa Grinder has been around for several years, but in 2020 they had to close all but one of their Brooklyn coffee shops located at 3thirdStreet in Bay Ridge.
The company also had to change its name and is now also known as Boca Del Cielo. I have been going to the Cocoa Grinder for years and love their lattes, specifically their hot lattes.
If you need something to eat, this Brooklyn diner also serves all kinds of food. I recommend the wraps because they are amazing!
hungry ghost cafe
various locations
One of the best cafes in Brooklyn is, without a doubt, the one at Hungry Ghost. This Brooklyn chain of coffee shops and roasteries has 9 coffee shops in Brooklyn. So if you're from here, there's probably a hungry ghost in your area! They proudly serve Stumptown coffee beans, which you can also buy in a to-go bag.
The cold drink at this Brooklyn cafe is so good - drink it plain or add a little milk and sweetener to take it to the next level. I love to add a little almond/oat milk and vanilla syrup.
They also have a small selection of cakes and light snacks, usually if you'd like to wash your coffee down with something.
back home
Green Point, Williamsburg
Another favorite and top pick for the best coffee in Brooklyn is Homecoming, which has two Brooklyn locations, one on Franklin Street in Greenpoint and the other on Berry Street in Williamsburg, both not far from each other.
These Brooklyn cafes are absolutely gorgeous and make you feel like you are stepping into an indoor garden with plants and flowers throughout the space.
At these Brooklyn cafes, I recommend trying perfectly sweetened and perfectly milky hot mochas and cappuccinos. The smiley face sticker they put on their mugs is adorable too!
social house cafe
Williamsburg
The Social House Café is a charming Brooklyn coffee shop in the trendy Williamsburg neighborhood. Its interior design is very attractive and different with black walls and a yellow velvet sofa in the middle of the store.
I've tried a few items from this Brooklyn coffee shop, their cold brew is good, but I highly recommend the hot nutella latte, nothing beats nutella and coffee! It sure makes great ice cream too! I remember their rosé latte was recommended to me, so if it's still available and you're interested, give it a try!
PEP Bakery and Cafe
Bay Ridge, Parkhang
PEP is a hidden gem and a deserving choice for the best coffee in Brooklyn! This Brooklyn coffee shop has two addresses: one at 4ºAve on Park Slope and the other on 3thirdStreet in Bay Ridge.
I've been to this location a few times and always get an Iced Dirty Chai, which is just an Iced Chai Latte with an espresso, it's amazing!
If you like chai and espresso, I highly recommend trying this sweet milky drink. I would also like to add that they are one of the cheapest coffee shops in Brooklyn!
happy brothers
Williamsburg
Another good option for the best Brooklyn coffee shops in Williamsburg is Fortunato Brothers. Fortunato's is a popular neighborhood restaurant and has been around since 1976.
This Brooklyn coffee shop is best known for its Italian pastries, cookies, and all sorts of other treats. I always crave their hot cappuccino, I can honestly say it's one of the best I've ever had. If you are near this place, give it a try!
copper coffee cup
Williamsburg
For more of the best coffee shops in Brooklyn, head to Williamsburg. Copper Mug Coffee has a lovely outdoor seating area in their backyard where you can spend hours on a sunny day.
They also serve a variety of craft drinks, from golden lattes to iced strawberry matcha, which they post on their social media.
If you like it a bit more classic, cold brew with a touch of almond/oat milk is super tasty and strong!
Pueblo Querido Coffee Roasters Café de Kolumbien
Green Point
Pueblo Querido is a family-friendly Brooklyn coffee shop that you can find in Greenpoint on Greenpoint Ave. This Brooklyn coffee shop is bright and colorful on the inside and is unlike any other Brooklyn coffee shop I've been to.
This place is best known for its coffee, but I've heard that their juices are delicious too! I loved their cold drink with some milk - top notch! The prices are also great - I paid less than $4 for a 16oz cold drink! This is also one of my top picks.coffee shops in greenpointAlso!
Breast
Green Point
Maman is a beautifully rustic-yet-chic Brooklyn coffee shop with only one location in the Greenpoint neighborhood.
From the moment you walk into this Brooklyn cafe you will feel right at home. The smell of freshly baked French and American goods fills the entire place, not to mention the coffee.
Their coffee is great, but their hot vanilla chai is amazing - so fresh which is why I included it in my roundup of the best coffee shops in Brooklyn!
Nor can you leave this place without taking one of its delicacies. I recommend a slice of one of their bread cakes, my favorite being the carrot bread.
Coffee Coffee
bay ridge
A local Brooklyn coffee shop in Bay Ridge, Caffé Café, is also one of the coziest places I've ever been and is a great choice if you're looking for the perfect late-night coffee stop.
The French press at this Brooklyn cafe is great, and they almost always have seasonal specials. The staff is always super friendly which makes it even easier to love this adorable little shop!
oslo coffee roaster
Williamsburg
Another place with two locations here in Williamsburg, Oslo is a great option for the best coffee in Brooklyn. I usually go to the Roebling Street location, the other location is on Bedford Avenue.
There are two reasons why I love this place so much, and why it deserves its place on this list of the best coffee shops in Brooklyn. One is how eco-friendly they are. Their coffee beans come from socially sustainable and environmentally friendly farmers who are paid fair wages.
The other reason I love this place is because they roast their own coffee in their small batch roaster. Since they are so meticulous with the preparation of the coffee, you can expect an exceptional experience.
If you're not in the mood for a classic iced coffee or drink, Eismokka is just as good as Eishai! What a variety of sizes!
Think Cafe Nueva York
Williamsburg
Think Coffee NYC is a popular coffee shop in the city with only one coffee shop in Brooklyn in Williamsburg on Devoe Street.
This coffee shop has been my favorite coffee shop in Brooklyn for a while. Their hot cappuccino is excellent and their iced chai is among the best I've ever had! I'm also a big fan of scones and their pumpkin scone is perfect!
sunny side cafe
Williamsburg
More than just a coffee shop, Bright Side Cafe in Williamsburg serves brunch, coffee, and cocktails—what more could you ask for?
This stop is so aesthetically pleasing, think lots of pink with accents of deep green and right next to the water. I love their hot drinks like their lattes and piccolos. I get mine unsweetened with skim milk, which helps keep me caffeinated and light-hearted.
The Fragrance Lab (Coffee)
Williamsburg
Le Labo Fragrances is an upscale perfume brand that has a few locations in the city, but its Williamsburg store and location has a door that leads to a semi-hidden coffee shop.
As soon as I found out about it, I had to visit it and I'm glad I did as it is now one of my favorite coffee shops in Brooklyn. High-end perfumery, in case you don't know their products, sells high-end perfumes, colognes, candles, and various types of personal care products.
The barista informed me that her roasted coffee was created especially for her by La Colombe Coffee Roasters. I personally love the frozen drink, without sweeteners and with a splash of oat milk.
campbell and company
Williamsburg
Campbell & Co. is another quaint and popular Brooklyn coffee shop, located in Williamsburg on Lorimer Street. This location also sells specialty items like cheese and other groceries, as well as kitchen items, and of course, coffee!
This is one of the best coffee shops in Brooklyn if you are also looking for vegan or gluten free treats as they have treats here to pair with your coffee. My personal favorite is the cappuccino, which I love, but the iced chai latte is amazingly good too!
Since you're here, I recommend trying the cinnamon roll, it's always delicious.
northern stock
Williamsburg
This industrial-chic spot is another great option for Brooklyn cafes in Williamsburg on Berry Street. This store feels like walking into a log cabin in upstate New York.
In addition to being one of the best coffee shops in Brooklyn, Upstate Stock is a great place to shop for groceries, clothes, and more.
My favorite drink at this Brooklyn cafe is usually their milk-sweetened cold brew, but their signature drinks always sound good!
dedication
Centro de Brooklyn, Williamsburg
One of the most famous coffee shops in Brooklyn is Whoo Devotion, which has two Brooklyn locations in Williamsburg and Downtown Brooklyn.
Devoción offers a nice place to enjoy your coffee, so nice that you might want to stay and stay a while.
They have several blends of coffee from different regions of Colombia that are roasted here.
I personally recommend the cold drink with a little milk, it's so rich and strong! I remember trying the cappuccino and it was great too, but I prefer cold brew.
Marine Park Cafe
marine park
One of my favorite recent discoveries for the best coffee in Brooklyn is Marine Park Coffee in the Marine Park neighborhood.
I'm lucky and always get the same friendly barista to take my order. He was obsessed with the Cinnamon Bun Oat Milk Iced Coffee but sadly it has now been discontinued. (fingers crossed they bring it back!) My other favorite order here at this Brooklyn coffee shop is the French Vanilla Iced Coffee.
This cafe also has a selection of other specialty flavors that I look forward to trying as well.
speakeasy coffee shop
Williamsburg
Another of my favorite Brooklyn coffee shops is the Australian-inspired Sweatshop in Williamsburg. Don't miss the eye-catching sign in front of the store that reads:"Don't look for love, look for coffee"and I think truer words were never spoken.
For recommendations on what to try at this Brooklyn coffee shop, I usually go for their cold drink with a drop of oat milk, but I've heard their flat whites and hot lattes are incredibly delicious too!
dew wolf
Williamsburg
Last but not least, pink wolf! This local Brooklyn coffee shop is also located on Metropolitan Avenue in Williamsburg.
I love their cold drink, with a little milk, no sweetener. Their bread slices are out of this world! My favorite is the dirty chai bread slice, which is always the perfect sweet pairing with my cold beer.

Try one of their classics or one of their great nitro cold beers.

Grab a bean bag to take home while you're at it!
confectionery
Cobble Hill, Greenpoint, Park Slope, Prospect Heights
Another of the best Brooklyn cafes with a few locals is Konditori, a Swedish espresso bar named after a cafe after a Swedish word meaning a hot drink hangout or a place to have coffee. It seems appropriate!
This Park Slope location was the first location, since then they have other locations in Cobble Hill, Greenpoint andviewing heights.
They serve a fantastic range of coffees made from Central American Arabic beans, from French Press to espresso, as well as some sweet pastries, both Swedish and American, from bagels to coffee bread. For those following a gluten-free diet, Konditori also offers a selection of GF treats.
