    Absolutely love this neighborhood cafe! The service is always really friendly and welcoming. The staff is legit like talking to your neighbors or family. They have a great variety of drinks both hot and cold. There is definitely something for everyone. The decor is so nice and chic and it is always clean and well kept. This cafe is a small nook in the area but has a big impact. They have seating both inside and outside. Oh, get a Haitian pattie...smoke herring to be exact. Very tasty.

    Hey there....coming to you with a great review of this quaint and lovely coffee shop. I love when my friends recommend a spot for me to visit and this was at the top of my list. A beautiful Tuesday afternoon lead me here and Cafe LaKay with its vibrant yellow decor was like a ray of sunshine. First let me say that it's been just a little over a year since they've opened their doors to the neighborhood and I can tell that they have their stream of regular customers. The owner, Daphne (hope I spelled that right) is very delightful and so is her assistant. I ordered the Passion fruit juice as well as a Matcha Lemonade (it's not in the menu) but my friend says it's to die for. I also bought a red velvet chocolate chip cookie. Let me say this, Daphne made those drinks with love. She took her time to make them and before pouring them into the cups, she poured a little for herself to taste test. I mean...who does that? No one ! This just shows the effort and dedication to satisfying her customers. She made sure I tasted it before I left to make sure it didn't need any adjustments and it didn't. It was perfectly delicious and refreshing. The cookie was delicious as well and I'm a baker so I should know. With all that being said, it's definitely the perfect spot to stop in for a cup of coffee, tea, juice and pair it with the amazing pastries they have for the day. Eat, drink and enjoy!

    Such a cute, quiet, and clean café just off the busy-ness of Flatbush Ave. During my first and only visit, I ordered a cinnamon toast chai and a spinach patty. Both were delightful, the spinach pastry so much in fact, that I ordered a second one to share with my Mom. Today, my Mom decided to buy a couple of the same patties for me, but they didn't taste as good as the first time! i was a bit disappointed at the decline in tastiness, but i may give them another try this week. My chai was wonderful, and i feel instantly more peaceful walking in. Overall, Café Lakay is a nice little gem in the neighborhood. i also love the décor!

I've been to both locations--the Times Square one is much smaller, but the Brooklyn location is amazing with a nice sit-down area. I always go back to my favorite, the tres leches cupcakes. I've also tried the lobster tail--it's delicious. Definitely loved it!

I had no problem finding parking. They had a few people ordering at the front, and a few people eating in the back. I perused the available cake (and pie) slices and other smaller baked goods, but did not see the Blackout Cake Slice! When I asked the staff, they regretfully informed me that they did not have slices that day, so I went with the next best option... an 8" cake! I didn't get any writing on the cake, as I already had a Happy Birthday candle, and I didn't want to add extra icing to the cake. I liked how well they package the cake. The box was large enough, and they line the bag with a thin piece of cardboard to stabilize the box. I'm not a big sweets person, but I enjoyed the chocolate-y richness of the cake. The cake itself was moist and the pudding held everything together well. I would be back to try their Strawberry Shortcake and other desserts.

    I've been coming here since I was younger, so I was excited to try it again! I love the decor and…read moredesign of the shop--it's absolutely adorable. I usually go for the banana pudding, but this time I decided to mix it up and try cupcakes. I ordered the vanilla cupcake with chocolate frosting and the it was with gluten-free or vegan banana chocolate chip cupcake with frosting. The cupcakes looked beautiful! The vanilla cupcake was okay--the cake was a bit dry and slightly overbaked on top, so overall it was just average, especially for the price. The banana chocolate chip cupcake was much better, and I really enjoyed it. The frosting was good, though personally I didn't think it paired perfectly with the cupcake. One small thing: they put the cupcakes in a bag instead of a box, which I prefer. Overall, this place is worth a visit! I'd recommend trying a cupcake (maybe a different flavor next time) and the banana pudding.

Got the strawberry shortcake ($80) 2 layers which was very moist and delicious. Had leftovers for several more portions. Like other reviews, I would recommend getting a slice of cake over the cupcake. Had the pumpkin spice latte $7 which was A-OK. Mild flavor. Service is quick. Cutely decorated, a couple of tables. For large groups, may be better to get your items to-go. Street parking can be challenging due to a busy area.
