Let me preface this by saying that Brooklyn Perk is a black-owned business and we definitely love…read moreseeing these businesses thrive. My daughter and I went this lovely Saturday morning to check them out and we were thrilled with the quality and service of the coffee shop. It's a cozy little spot where you can have a bite to eat along with your cup of coffee. There are a few tables along the wall that's graced with some amazing artwork. Towards the front there's a small sofa accompanied by two chairs and a small coffee table. Lovely setup! We ordered a Cappuccino, Americano, Lemon loaf cake, and a Cinnamon Coffee cake. The cakes were fresh and delicious and our coffee choices were equally delicious. You owe it to yourself to visit Brooklyn Perk. Oh, I forgot to mention, there are also two cute benches right outside the shop to sit and relax on a nice day...sipping away!

"Velvette Brew is a beloved neighborhood cafe roaster where quality craftsmanship meets genuine…read morecommunity connection specializing in thoughtfully roasted coffee and tea paired with fresh pastries" Here's the thing.. coffee places are not just coffee places.. they are gatherings where we purchase coffee but there is a human connection. We come to sit, talk, share stories, our personal experiences and of course sip a fabulous beverage. I'm seeing this more and more as I visit fabulous coffee places.. Konditori, Villager, Bakeri, Hidden Grounds, and now Velvette Brew. First, the space: light, airy and I can imagine with their big windows, a sun soaked place on a sunny day. There are plenty of seats: tables and high top tables. Their menu offers a bit of everything from soup, sandwiches, quiche and pastries. There is a nice option of beverages hot/cold. Today, was a bit damp so I ordered a hot chai with bite size checkerboard cookies to dip. The barista was very pleasant and I found a seat while waiting for my chai. I see a lot of patrons working in laptops, some meeting up to talk and sip and even the barista chatted with a local patron. Love it! My chai was piping hot and absolutely delicious. The chai was frothy, rich, the black tea leaves infused with cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, sweetener, and milk. I savored every sip and complimented the barista. It is always great to find a new coffee place. I expect to be a loyal local at Velvette Brew. They also host music events and have a collaboration with Cry Baby Ice Cream. It is located in the heart of Park Slope. There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. Velvette Brew 279 5th Avenue B63 to 3rd and 5th or R to Union Street, 10 minute walk.

They have a good amount of tables and chairs in the shop so a good place to grab a seat and chit chat with a friend. They offer a few bites to eat but nothing gluten free for this celiac girlie.

Prices are a bit higher than I'd like, which makes it hard to see this becoming a sustainable daily coffee stop. As others have mentioned, it could use more seating to feel like a place you'd linger, though I'm not sure how much of a coworking-style space the neighborhood really needs yet. I haven't seen it very busy, and while it is on the pricey side, I hope it manages to stick around.

It's almost the perfect neighborhood cafe. Great for coffee meetings, solo work, or just grabbing a pastry or tea to go. The only downfall is the AC. If you're looking for a free sauna on a warm day, this is the spot for you. (But seriously, pleaseee fix the AC). Even my cold brew is sweating.

I came here before a flight for a quick breakfast…read more I ordered the Lenin toast and a Green Smoothie. Both were good. I would have preferred the Lebni toast with ground olives/tapenade instead -- some bites had way too many olives while some had too few. It was an interesting twist on toast. The smoothie was also good but nothing remarkable. I received my food in about 10 minutes, so it was pretty decent service It's a busy place. There were lots of people there and there wasn't any seating available, but I wasn't upset about this because I had to leave quickly. If you're interested in working here, definitely come early!

However, they make up for it with their delicious and actually substantial food menu.

There's surprisingly a decent amount of seating, quiet electronic music, friendly staff. It's a good neighborhood spot for a coffee or treat and I had a good work sesh there.

Came in on a whim looking for matcha. I wasn't greeted by the woman who was behind the register…read more She honestly didn't even acknowledge me, she appeared to be very focused on her side conversation as I stood there waiting to be serviced. I asked about the drink selection and what they consisted of and she was very short and nonchalant with me very dismissive as if her conversation was more important. I still continued looking at the only visual menu I could find and then googled. She then pointed to a menu and I'm like oh you have a menu with descriptions thanks .... She was kinda snooty and not helpful. The drink I got was blue honestly forgot the name because it was nothing to remember. Tasted bland, cheap and lime water. Waste of 8+$. Overpriced honestly. I also tried a thumbprint cookie it was actually pretty good. But I won't be back don't like how I was treated. The vibe inside is a very BASIC cafe set up nothing spectacular at all. They were playing r&b which was cool. Other than that nothing else to say the Caucasian barista needs to do better with customer service, courtesy and overall providing a warm welcome when people enter.
