Cup Of Brooklyn

Aw this place is mad cute! My boyfriend and I decided to wake up early to get breakfast and coffee somewhere we hadn’t tried before. As long as I’ve lived around the block, I never stopped in (mostly because of the negative reviews I’ve seen regarding the mistreatment of POC… do better). From my personal experience today though, the atmosphere is pleasant and warm, the staff seems friendly, and the other customers were polite. The food is tasty and hearty (we got the everything bagel with cream cheese the avocado mash), and their drinks are good too. Nice amount of seating, free wi-fi, and good vibe. I think I’d definitely come back. Just remember that as an establishment.. you’ve consciously decided to insert your café into a community of color (been here my whole life). Respecting this and the POC who’ve been here for years will help expand the diversity of your clientele. POC often warn other POC of establishments that give us a negative experience. Just a piece of non-spiteful advice.

Very nice coffee and light food spot in Bed Stuy right near the Gates J stop. They get orders out quickly and have a nice selection of muffins, scones frittatas.

The owners started this little cafe near my apartment a several years ago. There coffee is strong and continenral breakfast assortment is excellent. Their nitro brew will have you doing cartwheels down Broadway especially if you hit the gym before or after. The decor in this place really charmed me as its an Etsy wonderland all created by the owners and seasonally refreshed leaving you feeling you are in a familiar space with something nee each visit. It has enough space to bring your laptop or just sit and people watch....:

One of my fav neighborhood coffee spots! Very cozy. Always super busy. Nice baristas. My only complaint is they sometimes make substitutions back in the kitchen. For takeout orders, I don’t realize this until I’ve arrived home. E.g., I’ll receive prosciutto on my ham and cheese despite seeing deli sliced ham on the sandwich in the display near the register. It’d be great if they noticed customers of the need for a substitute beforehand.

The service here is really what makes it so special. I had to work on my computer virtually all day and they were just awesome. The atmosphere is hip and beautiful. The coffee is strong and fresh. The food is unique and tasty.
