Devocion always has the cool interior design! I am a big fan of the inside vegetation, as it definitely adds to the aesthetic. Been to this location a few times now and it has always been consistent. Good espresso and americanos, and staff have been pretty chill. They also have some fancy pastries that are worth checking out; I had the guava and cheese croissant which was quite tasty! One fyi: they are cashless. Hope you get to enjoy it. read more

Beware: CASHLESS I came here with my friend around 1830 today, almost closing time. There weren't any pastries left so we only got to try their drinks. We had Iced Latte & Iced Espresso, and oh-oh-oooh they were great! And I loved their eco vibes interior! Toilet was clean too. read more

Devoción - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Found a cafe that brought me to another country! The place is filled with plants and trees, which gives such a relaxing atmosphere. Stopped by a Monday morning around 10:15am and this place was packed! The place is medium sized, there's enough seats for maybe 10-15 people. I waited a little bit before I ordered because there was only one barista who was busy making drinks for the previous order. She saw that I was waiting awhile so she greeted me first and asked what I wanted before ringing me up at the register. She was friendly and knowledgeable. I had the latte, which was made to the perfect temperature and taste. Also, beautiful latte art! I honestly wasn't sure what to expect but I'm a strong coffee drinker and it didn't disappoint me. If you like Colombian coffee, this is a place you have to visit! The prices are your average nyc cafe prices. They only take card (cashless establishment)! Also, free WiFi! read more

Devoción - Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is definitely five star quality but taking off a star for how pricy it is. Cold brew 5 dollars is crazy. I usually get their unfused apple tea that is delicious and not a rip off at 3.5. It's also a good place to do work but no WiFi on weekends. They also have pastries and plants and places to sit. Quiet too. read more

Cool interior vibe with lots of plants, decent coffee and bakery treat. Friendly and efficient service.

Love, love, love this coffee shop with lots of beverage options and guava croissants! The line moves quickly so don't be put off.

Stars are for technically good coffee and fabulous atmosphere, but it's too expensive for its own good. We're talking more than Starbucks prices for a normal drip coffee. I tried to get a tea once, but all they have are infusions: basically fruit chunks in water. No flavor, and like $4. And no caffeine. Bad choice on my part maybe? I'd rather have a normal tea. Again the coffee is delicious - you're gonna love it. The place looks like a jungle inside and it's very cool. read more

My notes say, "No... just no." I agree with my notes. We had a very bad cappuccino here. No... just no.

Devocion is one of my new favorite neighborhood coffee shops. It's beautiful, with an oasis of leafy plants standing tall in the middle in the high-ceiling room. I love sitting in the leather chairs by the plants; it transports me to some kind of magical garden. This is a great cafe to read and work. There are plenty of outlets, fast wifi (although apparently not available on the weekends), a decent amount of seating, and great natural light. The menu is on the higher end compared to other local coffee shops. My benchmark is the price of a drip coffee--here it's $3.00 (compared to, say, $2.50 at Absolute Coffee). read more

Excellent coffee, lovely staff, great atmosphere. The decor is gorgeous inside- beautiful place to sit down, relax and have a pastry.

Solid coffee shop in Brooklyn. I've been to one of their Manhattan locations too. The one closer to NYU has a cooler vibe and build out. The one in Brooklyn is a bit more corporate feeling. That's ok. They both deliver good coffee with good service. I'd come back. read more

This coffee shop is so cute. Had a good latte and enjoyed all the greenery. Will use this space to work in the future

This place is very aesthetic and has a good environment for working. Coffee is very solid as well!

Great coffee. Usually so busy & full of laptop/desk-users but I usually manage to find a spot if I have the time and patience. The guava pastry is to die for. read more

Great place to sit and study. The plants are such a nice touch and its very trendy and clean inside. I got an iced latte with oat milk and a chocolate croissant. The latte was alright but the croissant was amazing! Its not too loud that you cant concentrate on your work. I will be going again to study and get some work done. read more

Super overpriced, I paid 6.5$ for this tiny cup of coffee in a cheap paper cup. The price includes tip and non-dairy milk. Very disappointing. read more

Devoción - Cortado - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Cool decor - a genuinely tropical feel to the place with lots of plants in it! I had a delicious cappuccino and enjoyed sitting in one of the window seats. There are relatively few seats in this place - 30 tops, most of which are in pairs at tables, but some of which have cooler more living-room-esque feels to them. The music was underwhelming to me, but not offensive to the ears...just not my style and kind of loud. Cashless place, which I kind of like, but only if you've got your card with you. read more

This is one of the few cafes in Downtown Brooklyn that's actually both a) decently sized with outlets for use and b) has a cozy atmosphere with windows. You won't believe how hard it is to find both in a cafe or workspace downtown - nearly impossible actually. For that reason, Devocion is almost always packed. They have just enough tables to accommodate 15 or so people, and any more than that is a squeeze. You know that feeling when you enter a cafe and immediately begin eyeing the people already sitting, laptops out, to determine who is going to get up soon? Who has an extra chair they don't mind sharing? That's when the crowded cafe panic seeps in, usually at the same time that you begin to notice how comfortable the cafe feels and how soft the music is. Devocion is nearly perfect, from the food they offer (the mini carrot cake is AMAZING!), the service (everyone who works here deserves a damn raise, appreciate you all), and the decor, which is both playful and vibrant thanks to all the plants and wood tables and chairs paired tastefully with stone accents. I would date this cafe if that were a thing, but she's unavailable most of the time. Come early and try to get a seat if you can, it's worth the effort. read more

Ordered an oat milk mocha and the dulce de leche Kouign Amann. Both were delicious and I honestly considered going back for another mocha. The decoration and ambiance is nice and both the person at the register and behind the bar were extremely kind. There was a steady line of 4-5 people while I was there, so I think I waited maybe 3-4 minutes for my drink, which is a very fair turnaround. The barista cut no corners and properly weighed and tamped every single shot which I want to shoutout! read more

The 2 star review is not in the beautiful appeal within the coffee shop. I've encountered this place a few times already. The inner decor is absolutely beautiful. Theirs wifi. They're card only. They roast their coffee in house. Which is AMAZING. Working so closely with the farmers is such a huge appeal of mine when getting caffeinated at new places. However, I am disappointed. The few times I've been here, the service has been underwhelming. Considering how much the company focuses on their aesthetics and appeal, I would expect their staff to be a bit more trained with service. It is unfortunate. I will not be back. read more

I love this coffee shop! Great coffee and ambiance. I'm knocking off a star because this business is cashless. I get that it's efficient, but this policy discriminates against the poor. It also means less cash tips for the hardworking baristas! I hope Devocion will consider reversing this policy. read more

So pretty inside! Coffee is good and the natural lighting is calming. Great for working. read more

Devoción - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Perhaps the rudest customer service I've ever had in a coffee shop. When asked if I wanted take-out or eat-in I looked around for a spare seat and said "eat-in if there's a spare seat" to which the female assistant just looked blankly and said "we don't control the seating". I couldn't believe how rude she was being and the conversation went downhill from there. I said she'd lost a customer and she replied "that's fine". So astonishingly bad. I asked for her name so I could raise it with her manager but she refused to give it. What can you do but walk out. read more

This was number one on the list of coffee shops to visit in Brooklyn based on raves from online blogs/forums and it absolutely did not disappoint. The atmosphere is clean and full of life. The seating arrangement are out of the ordinary and inspire socializing but still offer some areas to get work done. They had a great menu and super clean bathrooms. 100% would come back here again if I'm ever in the area. read more

Wanted to love this place as I had it saved in my list of places to go. The barista asked if was staying or dining in and even tho I said staying in and showed my vax card they gave me my drink in a tiny to go cup (maybe for Covid). The first sip of coffee also tasted burnt. Honestly not worth what I paid for it. Stars only for the ambiance read more

I have been buying my beans here for years even when my budget didn't really allow it because I respect excellent coffee beans. But after being treated rudely by the large human with the turquoise hair and the long raggedy, dirty fingernails the last two times, I will be buying my expensive coffee beans from another roaster. Please do not tell me that I am being picky when I ask if you have any fresher beans and do not look at me like I am a nutcase when I comment on recently raised prices. I was not complaining about either situation, merely asking if you have anything fresher and was caught off guard that $17 beans are now $19. This is pricey stuff and I want to be treated nicely. Not like I am being a jerk, when I am not. Also those nails are a hygiene disaster. read more

Lovely ambiance, I had one of their aromaticas with a croissant and it was absolutely tasty.

Pricey but delicious with a sexy ambience. Cashless! Be aware. The aromatica with gooseberries and andean lime is excellent. read more

We wonder about love and devotion, Lauren and I, and what it means. What makes what worth what... We think we're on the same page drinking stupidly expensive coffee in the chic spot that is Devocion. Lauren says she's not ready to settle down. She says she wants to stay with me. She likes this life of coffee shops and art musings, she likes posing for me in front of the mural of succulents and whatever greenery is framed against the dramatic exposed brick of Devocion. I tell her, I'm tired. No amount of caffeine can rid my fatigue. She asks of what? And I look around and say, "This. I'm tired of spending so much money on lattes and pretending to work." People of our generation tell me about their jobs and I can't figure out what anyone's actually doing or how they afford seven dollar croissants. I don't know anyone for instance that can lay brick. I do know a bunch of baristas though... And for their survival we shall heed the call to tip, for they depend on the generosity of artist Williamsburg. The economics of oppressed hipsters is simple. It's a great thing I'm one of the few that sells painting. I always tip, making my 4.50 cold brew 5.50... and where does it end? I want to cry, always. "We think we're living unique lives but we're all just drinking expensive lattes," I say, and she's getting sick of my cynicism. It's the beginning of our end. "And then we'll leave [Devocion] to eat the same burrito as everyone else, and vacation in the same places, etc, etc." This is not my New York dream. My dream is lost in the plant wall. My eyes cross. The coffee is good, but I wonder how sustainable, and about how long Lauren's Brooklyn dream will survive alongside rats, before it crumbles under the pressure of needing a savings account. read more

Super pretty ambience and I like their snacks especially the croissant treats. Their infusion water also takes really good too if you don't want coffee. A lot of people come here to do work but it's also a cool place to come and chill with friends over coffee and snacks. The trees/plants in the middle of the store really makes the ambience. read more

This place has everything you'd want out of a nice coffee shop where you'd want to sit and get some work done: great coffee, plenty of tables, fast WiFi, friendly staff, non-invasive background music and a really nice ambiance. As other reviewers have pointed out, it's plants galore in here, adding a unique vibe that I haven't seen in any other cafe in New York. Hands down, the best coffee shop in the area. read more

We were on our way into the city and desperately needed a coffee, so we popped in for a bit. Who knew our lives would be changed? Never have I ever tasted a more flakey, moist, and dense croissant in my life. And I have tasted many a croissant, my friends. The chocolate one is perfectly delicate and not too violently sweet. I've started to make a visit even out of my way just in order to get their croissants. read more

Super cute cafe in downtown Brooklyn! 5 stars for decor and a tasty latte. This cafe is very spacious, however, there isn't a ton a seating area. When you walk in there is this cute green oasis with 4 chairs, which is a perfect place to do some reading. There are also tables and chairs surrounding the greenery area. (hope that makes sense). The only negative thing I have to say about this place is the music is a little too loud. Aside from that it is a perfect spot to study/have a coffee. There is free wifi too! read more

Look, I'm lazy as hell. And Devocion is literally in my building. So I come here all the time. Yeah, it's expensive. But it's also real good. Coffee on point. Fresh in-house baked goods. The interior designer killed it with the plants. Great place to do work, get coffee, etc. Fav. read more

Love the coffee and guava croissant. Really cute atmosphere full of foliage and excellent service.

A couple of weeks after I published my original review of Devocion on Yelp!, I received the following note from one Ronny A.: Just a Note 8/11/2018 For your review of: Devocion Because of ppl like you this world is getting destroyed a day at a time a receipt at a time! Those 2 cons you put there is what makes that company great! You fool! Go give that bad review to your accounting department which are asking for printed receipt instead of an email confirmation which would do the same and stop critizing [sic] people who are actually helping the wold [sic]! Ronny A[full name shortened] Here is the original review that I wrote in late July: Cute room, comfortable, friendly staff, good coffee drinks, reasonably priced. BUT... 1) they don't take cash, only plastic, and 2) they don't produce paper receipts, only electronic ones via text or email Both of these are annoyances; the second is an invasion of privacy. Look, I'm just as environmentally conscious as the next person, but this is highly inconvenient for those of us who need to produce paper receipts for business accounting purposes. Therefore, my associates and I will need to take our meetings elsewhere. Too bad, because we otherwise liked the place. read more

Such a cute cafe, really great coffee with tropical surroundings. Great for a quick coffee and croissant breakfast read more

Devoción - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The decor and seating arrangement of this location (they have a few around NYC) is just really lovely. The center ring of plants really give the room an airy vibe, insulate conversations and neatly split the room in half. The barista who helped me answered all my questions about flavor notes and gave me a run-down on all their pastries. The first time I went I got the drip coffee and a savory scone. Coffee was good, on the fruitier acidic side, but great with cream. The scone had a good toasted texture, not to crumbly and perfect for a late breakfast. Lot's of seating options at around 11am in the morning on a weekday. The second time, I went in the afternoon and just got the drip coffee again. I found a spot by the window to work on my laptop. A lot of other laptop workers were there, but I noticed the seats closer to the center tend to be filled by people solo or talking. It is, mercifully, not too loud, almost quiet in there. Definitely a new favorite! FYI, they are cashless, card only! read more

Such a beautiful cafe. i loved being surrounded by so many plants. i ordered a mocha because they didn't make chai lattes, and my mocha was delicious. it had a cute design on top. i worked there while drinking my mocha latte, and found myself more productive than usual. the staff were very kind. i really love how green this cafe is. will definitely go again :) read more

Better in person yet still magazine worthy. I found out about Devocion because I saw it in a modern architecture magazine called Dwell, and put it on my short list of things to visit in Brooklyn. Lone and behold, I found myself in need of a work space, and I was a few blocks away from this fine establishment. I was so excited to check out the space. Even on a busy Friday, I was able to find a seat with a plug within 10 minutes of walking in. The space is open with beautifully worn yellow tile, a central seating nook that is between garden and patio with tons of natural light. You have a selection of fine columbian coffees to choose from that will keep you caffeinated for your entire experience and stimulated with a vibrant yellow mug. That's exactly what I wanted, and these details make it feel like a future home rather than a crammed coffee shop. I'll be back whenever I'm in the neighborhood. read more
