    Pup cup.
    Toshonie W.

    Food :I haven't tried the food yet. But I did get a drink the butterfly pea latte with oatmilk which was delicious. Service: nice , the cashier was pleasant They made me feel welcomed which is always a plus. Ambiance : very minimal , artsy Spacious appeared to be cool for working from home if need be and or reading a book. The music selection was pretty nice I believe Lauryn hill was playing in the background. I'll be returning again to grab a latte and bite to eat and enjoy the space again full as I was out walking in my neighborhood with my dog.

    Super cute seating!

    Just popped into this super cute and brand new cafe in the heart of Bed-stuy. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by the friendly vibes of the staff, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, and the warm decor. I love the combination of exposed brick, natural wood and lively plants. I ordered a cortado with "mylk". It was served in a super cute cup, made at the perfect temperature and was soo good. In fact, I immediately ordered another to-go! I learned this business is women-owned and run by three best friends, whom all hail from New Mexico. You can tell they put a ton of love into the cafe and it shows in every detail. It's so amazing to see new local gems like this popping up again across New York. Thank you to the team at Early Yves for such great service and delicious coffee. I'll be back for sure and will definitely try their food next time!

    Vanilla latte and Pea flower latte

    Iced vanilla latte (9/10) very good and strong not overly sweet! Pea flower latte (7/10) it's good but very different tasting it's a little earthy, raspberry lemonade (9/10) very good and fresh if your looking for a sweet drink

    How cute is this?!

    This place is precious. To the interior design . To the little details on the walls . The seats the interesting tables . It's a perfect spot to catch up on work or catch up with a friend or just to enjoy your own company . I feel it's such a community spot . The adorable cashier was super sweet and kind . I found all of the workers here to be warm and kind . I had the chai and it was lovely . Not too sweet , and perfect temperature . I haven't tried anything on their menu yet but when I come back I want to grab some things . But it's a really nice spot so welcome to the neighborhood Early Yves !

    Spacious spot to work or chill

    Delightful coffee shop with plenty of room to work or relax. Service is extraordinarily friendly and food and drinks are top notch. Avocado toast is the best I have had in Brooklyn. Coffee is fresh and packs a punch! Must check this one out.

    I had such a lovely time at Early Yves, came in for a coffee on a day off. Staff was very friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere of the whole shop is just so lovely and calm. & the Campfire Cap was so delicious!! Definitely my new favorite neighborhood spot :)

    The baristas were kind and helpful and I love that they have a little collection of children's books by BIPOC authors for sale.

The burger was fresh, juicy, and not greasy at all just really well made. The tater tots were crispy and delicious without feeling oily, which I really appreciated. The atmosphere was just as good as the food comfy, relaxed, and full of a really nice vibe that makes you want to stay and enjoy your time. On top of that, the service was amazing. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot I'd go back to!

And I gotta say, the bartender is doing work. He's the only one working and the whole place is filled up and he manages it very well. They have food and drinks, mocktails included. I love it here. It's very cozy and homey. But just remember to be courteous, that this is a business so it's okay to do work here but if you're gonna be chilling for a while make sure you're getting some drinks every hour or tipping the 'tender. Also careful with some of the hot drinks they can be really.... hot. I burnt the roof of my tongue on my hot cider drink.

    Got brunch here on a Sunday with a friend. We split the Hot Honey Gem Salad and Hottokeki (Japanese…read moresoufflé pancake). The pancake is gigantic and is absolutely meant to be shared. It was really fluffy and smelled soooo good (reminiscent of the HK street cart waffles). But because it's so big, by the time we ate half of it, we were getting a little tired of the same taste. The salad was good but nothing to rave about. For drinks, we tried the Lebowski-San and Kettl Hojicha Kombucha. It was my first time trying a clarified cocktail and it was really unique. I thought there would be more ice cream honestly but I still loved it. The kombucha though was shockingly tasty. I loved it so much that I bought a bottle online once I got home (they're from Kettl, a local distillery in Brooklyn). The venue is really spacious and I actually planned a wedding here in the past. They host a lot of events and there was even a birthday party happening when I ate there. The only downside is the location. The only train that goes there is the G so it's a bit hard to get to. Food: Hot Honey Gem Salad (radish, buckwheat, fennel, yuzu vinaigrette) 9/10 Hottokeki / Japanese Soufflé Pancake (fluffy hotcake, honey maple butter, sesame) 9/10 Add Mini White Sesame Soft Serve (soy milk, sesame oil) 10/10 - I would recommend just getting this on its own instead of the Hottokeki if you're craving just a little dessert. Drinks: Lebowski-San (green tea shochu, pisco, sakura leaf, clarified matcha ice cream, cold brew coffee floater) 9/10 - This is a clarified cocktail which I didn't expect. I thought I was ordering a matcha ice cream-like drink so although the drink was good, all the ingredients are very subtle in flavor. Kettl x Unified Ferments 'Hojicha' Kombucha (jou yanagi hojicha) 10/10 - This is an absolute must-try!

Last I was here was for brunch and we sat in the outdoor patio area. We got a two things to share and a main each. Shared plates were the soufflé pancake and silken tofu. Both were a miss for me. The pancake had a baking soda aftertaste and also they brought it out right away instead of after we finished our mains so it sat around in the table for a while until we were ready to eat it. Silken tofu had a mediocre flavor palette. There was no variation in texture either, just one plate of mushy items. We didn't finish either one of those. For a main, I ordered a a Wagyu beef bowl. It was really good but on the smaller side. The service was attentive aside from a spillage when the order came. Then they started placing plates on top of the spill instead of wiping the table. Eventually they cleaned it but overall there was lack of training in this case. I am not dying to come back here but would consider if I'm in the area again. I really like the actual space but food/service can improve.

It's not giving community coffee shop, it's giving gtfo as quick as you can. The decor and vibe just felt so off. Giving coffee shop art studio museum but in the worst way possible? Went with a friend and we both immediately felt a bad energy. The person taking our order was just a little stand off ish. We just wanted to get our drinks and get out as quick as possible. We got the blackberry matcha and a latte. You're not going for the matcha, because the matcha flavor isn't really there ~ the blackberry was fine, super sweet though. Had 3 espresso shots in the latte yet it was still somehow so watered down and had an odd aftertaste. Big yikes overall, we could've dealt with the weird pretentious vibes if the coffee was actually good. Only upside is TakuSando is a block away. EDIT: For Bri Can totally understand if people have off days, maybe the baristas were having a bad day, it happens. Either way, the review reflects what we experienced. We had heard great things but unfortunately felt unwelcome from the moment we ordered, whether intentional or not ~ the energy felt cold to us and that changed the experience. & we just didn't love the drinks. You're def right, Rhythm Zero just isn't our cup of tea and that's totally fine. Hope yall continue to do your best and serve the fan base you have :) Love small businesses, don't love a weird Yelp guilt trip (which seems like a pattern for you across all 3 locations...)
