So clean. So friendly. Quiet . Strong WiFi. Fresh pastries. I was driving and a client called so I had to pull over and find a place to draft a quick deck and send some emails. I had no idea what to expect when I walked in. They were closing in 20 min and they didn't rush me . They allowed me to get my work done while they cleaned up . Will definitely be back that was the best made matcha I've ever had read more

Specifically writing this review for the strawberry rhubarb thyme latte they have right now. It is absolutely spring in a cup. That's all there is to say about it. It's never too crowded around here, so if you're trying to work, this is a solid spot with ample natural light. read more

Nice selection of food. I order BLT and was delicious! Great ambiance too. Reasonable price.

As a matcha snob, I can confidently say that this spot has a great one! The veggie bowl was great and came out quickly. read more

Hala Coffee & Kitchen - Cold brew - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

An excellent place to go if you want to get some work done, as well as a latte and lunch. One of my favorite things to eat there is the farro bowl, it's very fresh, and has lots of different textures and flavors that really compliment each other. Unfortunately, you can only get eggs at Hala soft boiled or scrambled. I wish there was an option for hard boiled, but the kitchen doesn't do that. You also can't replace items or ingredients of any of the menu options, only can add on. Employees are friendly, some are better at making espresso drinks better than others, regardless, the service is still above average. read more

Hala is the cafe experience that anyone would want in the neighborhood. a large space with a good amount of seating serving menu of quality eats and drinks. stumbled in here on a sleepy Saturday and was in need of coffee. the Americano came out piping hot and full of that caffeinated flavor when the day has been too cold and you're running on fumes and it's only the early afternoon. the coffee was quite good and did its job. while it was a sleepy Saturday, Hala was full of people working / studying so it was pretty quiet. the vibe was definitely low key. the space is really clean, well-organized, soaked in light, and has a welcoming tone to it all. the service was chipper and the warm. wish i had taken advantage of the food options (they look good) but that's a good excuse to return. and only in Bushwick would a cafe bathroom key be named "Kevin"--do with that knowledge what you may. read more

We came here on a Saturday morning and were happy to see it wasn't completely packed like most cafes in the area during the weekend. We ordered at the bar and I decided on the chicken sandwich with a side salad. We sat ourselves close to the front windows and were given order numbers that the servers used to drop of out played when they were ready. The service here was fast and friendly as well. The vibe was very clean and modern, especially for the area! read more

Great cafe for food, coffee, and working. The environment is productive, clean, and the menu is great!

I've loved everything I've eaten so far and would like to try more things. I'm vegetarian so this is a great option to eat at and not have to settle for just fries. Always had nice costumer service. The place is cozy and cute. It can get a bit pricey but it's worth it. read more

This is my favorite kind of cafe - the kind where you can get a coffee/tea and a bite to eat and get some work done. The Hala Hash was tasty. The potatoes were crunchy and well seasoned, the eggs were perfectly runny, and the side of tomato confit reminded me of a good pasta sauce. The music is upbeat but relaxed and quiet enough that you can easily talk over it if you're eating with someone else. There's plenty of seating, wifi, enough writing to read or write, and a few outlets to charge your phone or laptop. read more

Best coffee in Bushwick. The barista was very nice and made me one of the best cappuccinos I've ever had. Skip the places with lines and horrible tasting $12 lattes. Just go here. read more

I used to work down the street from this establishment about three years ago and loved the coffee and vibe in here. Today I decided to order it on Uber Eats because why not, it's been a while. Not only is the coffee very expensive (which I am not particularly unhappy about because it's super yummy), but it arrived completely spilled out of the cup. The poor courier was apologizing and looked so disappointed in himself but I felt awful for him because this, to me was not his fault. The packaging was only masking tape over the lid and that's all. I called the establishment and was met with an unfriendly response and "well accidents happen" and "we don't have any other way to package it, it's not really our fault." Almost every time I've ordered coffee/drinks from other places before and even when I worked in service, packaging of to go drinks was heavily prioritized to avoid this issue. Idk maybe I'm being a karen but saran wrap exists??! anywho this bad review is more so about the service aspect and maybe just to suggest that they change the way they package to go orders. All in all it's still good coffee and the food is good as well! read more

Lovely, bright atmosphere perfect for brunch, coffee or working from a cafe. We got the Acai Bowl (one of the biggest for the price I've seen), biscuit and gravy (comes with an omelette and mushroom gravy), grilled sandwich, and breakfast Pita. All wonderful ingredients and well portioned. The staff were also lovely and helpful. read more

I didn't expect to head to another cafe lmao because I'm currently waiting for my friends to head to brunch haha. This comfortable industrial vibe-ish vegan friendly cafe is definitely another recommended place I would visit on the regular. For example imagine heading to work and you're rushing to grab something quick and you really don't know where to go.. (although they're many options to choose from, I'm pretty sure you'll be satisfied with what you'll order from this cafe). Friendly comfortable environment. You will definitely get some work done with the seating arrangements inside... (PLUS YOU CAN CHARGE YOUR PHONE AND WAIT FOR YOUR RIDE TO HEAD HOME SAFE SINCE THEYRE OUTLETS everywhere). Just make sure to order something first because of you don't....welp it's on you The staff are great and professional! Love it! Gonna continue drinking my espresso now. They serve it in these tiny blue cute mugs and spoon. Please support the locals! read more

Great coffee and really nice people working there! Definitely worth a visit if you're in Bushwick!!

Love this cafe and everyone working there! The ambiance is on point. The lattes are my favorite but their speciality drinks never disappoint! Always a pleasure read more

This is the best coffee in the area. Hands down. And the food is great as well. Especially the Biscuits and Gravy.

I really liked this cafe. As a home visiting social worker, I like to come here for a debrief every time I visited a homeless shelter nearby. The Coffee (Halo) they a brewing is always delightful for me. Although it is just a hot brew coffee, it offers me clear layers of fruitiness with mild kick of attack and after taste. It is great to have whether in a hot summer afternoon or a windy snowing winter. The environment provided me a moment of still and quietness and relaxed me all time. Come check it out and you will know what I mean. Today, I visited the homeless shelter for the last time, which I don't know if I will have any chances to come over for work. This is so far my last cup of Halo that I know. read more

came to this place to get some work done. such a nice reprieve from this hot weather out, and there's so much space to get work done. the coffee is spectacular and they offer lavender syrup AND soy milk! staff is also very friendly :) besides the great coffee, they offer - free wi-fi - bathrooms - quiet space - not a cramped space read more

Top tier. Quality coffee, comfortable, bright space with fast WiFi, and an amazing variety of fresh and healthy food.

Loved my counter culture specific cortado faster than I could take a picture. Good prices for milk subs too, only $1 up. Spacious, good music, calm, plenty of seating, approachable staff. read more

Nice spacious and clean cafe. I had the Hala Hash, which was wholesome and delicious. The egg was cooked perfectly runny and the toast nicely browned. The hash was extremely flavorful tiny pieces but they only give you about three tablespoons worth. The tomato confit comes chilled and tastes like high quality sauce with cilantro. You won't be full from this meal, more like a snack but the quality is good. I would come again and try other items. read more

food was to die for...I got the biscuit and gravy and it was the best I've had! service was very nice and quick. loved the vibe!

Great coffee, food and service! It has definitely become my favorite spot and is also a great place to get some work done. Get wild, try the food, it's just as good as the coffee! read more

Best pancakes in Brooklyn. Their acai bowl, which I ventured to try is also bomb. Seriously. Coffee is good but the pancakes!! I've ordered via uber and picked up and both versions tasted great. read more

Amazing coffee and food! I had a mocha w/ oat milk, egg and hash sandwich, and a blueberry scone. The mocha was perfect and I was actually surprised to find how good the food was. The service was fast as well, considering there was one person making the coffee and a good number of people taking orders. I'm only taking one star off because the scone was good, but seemed like it had gotten a little stale. read more

Found this place during the pandemic- they're offering to-go food and drinks. Coffee is great (they serve Counter Culture which I really like), and food is outstanding. I've been coming at least once a week for breakfast for the past month. Breakfast pita is a hit! Staff is very friendly, food is reasonably priced (on par with most food in the area). It's quickly become a go-to for me. read more

One of the best breakfasts I have ever had delivered! The breakfast pita was absolutely delicious. And so was the cold brew!

Exemplary cafe in a neighborhood full of subpar ones. Best coffee in Bushwick, period. Incredible baked goods and delicious, healthy, thoughtfully designed/prepared bowls and sandwiches -- way better than the food you normally get at a coffee place. The guys who work at Hala are friendly and efficient, almost like good local bartenders -- you're happy to see them when you walk in. Music is great -- not the expected stuff -- eclectic and cool, perfect for working, on the mellow side but not always. I have spent many an hour with my laptop here -- it's a good place to hunker down for a morning or afternoon, doesn't get crazy loud or busy. My one small reservation is that it's a bit too brightly lit, particularly in the early evening. Not sure whether they're fluorescent lights or what but dialing them down just a bit would add to the vibe and also make it easier to work. Otherwise, perfect. I feel lucky to have this place nearby. read more

I've been here quite a few times in the past few weeks and, apart from really good and well-priced coffee, it has some of the warmest, nicest staff you'll find on this big blue marble called planet earth! read more

This place was great! The food was amazing and service was terrific. Highly recommended

This restaurant has been the biggest blessing while I've been locked down in Crown Heights. I only wish I discovered it sooner. Try the shepherd's salad, the chicken sandwich, the vegetable sandwich, the breakfast pita, and don't forget the iced coffee! Everything is fresh and flavorful and priced just right. read more

Hala coffee & kitchen you are really fantastic, I had an incredible experience here yesterday. Excellent place and the rates are reasonable. Every single thing I've tried thus far is very good. Team is very pleasant and will help you with anything. We had such a good time. read more

Hala has all the makings of a great local coffee shop. Unfortunately the staff if not the best mannered. They were slow and unresponsive after a drink spill and when asked for a clean up rag began unrolling bits of paper rolls which was not enough for a big spill. And, the shop itself did not seem to have any napkins available. It's probably fine for a grab & go visit, but not as welcoming if you wanted to sit and sip. read more

When did it become okay to sell a $9 coffee? It's absurd and something I'm seriously reflecting on after this trip. Unfortunately, I got a seasonal coffee which lacked seasonal flavor which was maple bourbon. The staffed felt inattentive although it was not busy whatsoever -- I said good morning and got no response, said thank you for the coffee and got no response. Customer service matters especially with how much your spending. The environment was open and airy but I won't be returning. read more

This place is cute, cozy and hip! The shop is clean and chick with plenty of tables and benches that allow for 6 feet distance for patrons to enjoy their meal. I just so happened to find this place out of "luck." I wanted to start the New Years eating healthy. I ordered the breakfast pita and and was blown away at the flavors in my mouth!!!! The tomato confit added a nice flavor to the lightly scrambled eggs. This is my new favorite place. read more

I was feeling sleepy and stopped here for a quick coffee, but instead I spent $5 to have someone treat me like I walked into their living room uninvited. It was too much to even ask for some simple syrup, or a napkin. The employee literally scoffed and put the quickest, smallest splash of simple in my coffee, left coffee spilling off of the top, rushed me out, and ran back to sit down and be on their laptop. The drink wasn't what I wanted but their was no way I was walking back in there. Never again. read more

Great healthy options for breakfast and lunch! I got the veggie bowl and was surprised at how good it was.
