    the interior of a restaurant
    Michelle C.

    I could have sworn I already wrote a review for the Brooklyn Heights location of the BRC but as I absolutely adore this cafe and staff, I am happy to write another well-deserved 5-star review for them. The cafe is on a quiet stretch of Clinton St, right behind the library. The space is fairly big and there always is seating available. Their coffee is great and they also sell a ton of different blends (my favorites include their Iris and their Japan blends!) in store and online too. But, I am quite partial to their teas, which is sourced from Serendipitea. There's free wifi and some delicious snack options too, making this an excellent spot to catch up on a little reading or work. PS- Found my original review: BRC continues to absolutely kill it. The staff here are the literal best and more people need to visit this amazing little cafe instead of the soulless Starbucks and Blank Street on Montague. Let me set the scene: I came in looking like I just survived a tornado, carrying books and a bottle of cough syrup I just bought from CVS the next street over because I forgot to bring a reusable bag. It's day 2 of this terrible cold I've just caught and I stumbled in looking for maybe something warm to drink. I ask if they have tea, and the barista (whom I've forgotten to ask for her name because I was very under the weather) takes one look at the cough syrup in my hand and suggests tea. There's no tea menu so I ask what kind of tea they have and she says she'll make me a ginger tea and add some lemon juice and honey to it. Two bags of delicious, warming, soothing ginger tea from Serendipitea at no extra charge with some extra vitamin C from the lemon juice. She even filled my thermos with hot water so I could refill my tea for the rest of the morning while I cranked out some papers. I felt like I was just thrown a lifesaver and was now pulled to safety. I'm devoted to this cafe FOR LIFE. Seriously guys, this place is incredible and not just for their coffee but for the human touch. Keep it up BRC, y'all are the best!

    Stopped by for a cold brew after a humid walk across the bridge. The cold brew was decent but nothing spectacular. Fairly spacious interior with lots of AC!

    Funny location, kind of hidden behind the library, but surprisingly spacious once you're inside. Lots of tables and seats with power outlets! Accessible gender neutral restroom in the back. The service is spectacular and the espresso is perfectly prepared. They have a great selection of sweets, though unfortunately none of the sandwiches are vegetarian. Protip: if you're here near the end of the day, you might get a pastry for half price (if they have any left!).

    On my recent NY trip my friends and I were excited to go and see the Brooklyn Bridge. Somehow we ended up on the wrong side for our start point. It ended up being a good thing because it put us right down the road from an Brooklyn Roasting Company location. Ambiance/vibe - The location was tucked in right next to the Brooklyn Library. It was bright, colorful, and so cozy. The branding was also adorable. Staff - The two people working counter were nice and helpful. They seemed to be having such a positive time which made the whole place brighter. Food - There were not a ton of food options, and we did not get to try any of the snacks they had Drinks - with the cold temperatures and having just had coffee an hour before, our entire group opted for hot chocolates. I went with their special strawberry hot chocolate with an added single shot of espresso. It was the perfect drink to warm up. It was subtle and not too overpoweringly sweet. Overall I would give this shop a 4/5 s. The vibe was truly everything. I honestly can't wait to get the chance to go back one day and also try some of their coffee drinks.

    Good coffee, good pastries, good service. And the coffee shop is big enough to be able to grab a seat too.

    It's kind catty cornered next to a library so you might miss it if you don't see the signage.

We walked in and the shop was cozy and clean. We were greeted by the staff. They were very friendly and helped us promptly.

I really should have bought more than one! Learn from my mistakes and get one chocolate chip cookie to share and one chocolate chip cookie for yourself!

On many lists, it was number one, so I had to give it a try. I went out of my way to walk over to grab a cookie. You can tell that many others had probably read the same list as me as there was a decent line going out the door, but it moved quickly and wasn't a deterrent. My honest review, not my favorite cookie! It leaned a little too dry and crisp and didn't have enough of that soft gooey-ness for me. Just not my preferred style! They weren't bad, but no where near my favorite. It is fun that they have a few different flavors though including the Korn cookie!

    I've had Ten Thousand Coffee on my to-go list for the LONGEST. I finally went for the first time…read moreand there were so many drinks I wanted to try so I ended up buying 3. 1. The Jeju Green Tangerine Matcha honestly just tastes like a tangerine selter drink but in the best way, because I don't typically enjoy seltzer or carbonated beverages. I really enjoy the flavor and the carbonation isn't too strong, probably because I brought it home to drink. I don't really taste the matcha but I would definitely still order this again. 2. Matcha Einspanner. This is my first time having an Einspanner so I have no idea what I was expecting but this is DELICIOUS. It's so silky and smooth and the TASTE is just right up my alley. The matcha is light but you can still taste it. Absolutely, would drink this all the time if I could. 3. Purple Sweet Potato Latte. This. This. Omg, why haven't I tried this sooner?! The first sip and initial taste, I almost tasted nothing, just milk. And then all of a sudden, there's an explosion of flavor in your mouth. As a sweet potato lover, I was in heaven. I have absolutely no words for this drink, just try it. 100/10 recommend. This is probably my favorite one out of the 3 that I bought. I went around ... 2:45PM on a Friday and most of the seats were taken, if I remember correctly. There were a decent amount of seats and the space was decent. I liked the minimal aesthetic they had for the design of the interior. Not to forget, the staff at the register was absolutely wonderful, she answered all my questions, she's so sweet. I think I'm disappointed that I haven't tried this place sooner. Y'all get out of your comfort zone and try the Purple Sweet Potato Latte !! Or if not, just try this place out. I will definitely be recommending the Purple Sweet Potato Latte to all my family and friends.

While it was a fun and unique drink, I probably should have opted for something else. The topping was literally like actual tiramisu rather than just tiramisu flavoring, and it felt like there was more ice and tiramisu than latte. Personally, I would have preferred more of the tiramisu flavor without the full tiramisu texture mixed into the drink. That said, it was an interesting concept and I'm glad I tried it. I'd definitely be open to coming back and trying another latte on a future visit.

    I probably never leave reviews in general, especially negative ones, but this experience was so…read moreegregious that I honestly felt like I had to say something. I've worked in restaurants and bars long enough to understand that staff drinking happens, but this was on another level entirely. I came in with a group of friends and one of the bartenders, Will, was so visibly drunk that it made the entire experience uncomfortable. Slurred speech, wobbling behind the bar, taking orders while chewing food with his mouth open -- it was honestly embarrassing to watch. He looked like he absolutely did not want to be there. At one point, my group had been trying to get his attention for another round for quite a while while he stood around talking with coworkers. We then watched staff take a shot together, and when he finally came over he burped mid-conversation and literally had whatever he had just been drinking dribbling down his neckbeard. That was the moment where the whole thing went from unprofessional to just gross. What made it worse was that it didn't seem isolated to one employee. Throughout the night we watched staff openly taking shots and drinking behind the bar like it was a house party instead of a business. There's a difference between bar culture and complete lack of professionalism, and this crossed that line hard. One of the friends I was with actually frequents the DUMBO location and said that the last time she was there, the same bartender also seemed intoxicated, which makes this feel less like a bad night and more like an ongoing issue. The DUMBO location itself is in an amazing spot, which makes it even more disappointing. But ownership seriously needs to get control of what's going on there before someone gets hurt or the place develops a reputation for having drunk staff on the clock. Unfortunately, the experience was uncomfortable enough that my girlfriends and I won't be coming back. I genuinely hope the employee mentioned gets help if this is a regular thing, because nobody should be working service in that condition.
