Neighborhood coffee shop always busy with a line and people working/chatting inside this small 400 sf place. Nice place to sit outside to watch the sunset in fort Greene. Lovely staff. The new beans come in every Thursday so best to pick up your bag on Thursday/Friday. It comes with a free cup of coffee. I go for the iced coffee and they charge me 50 cents to a dollar to make it a large. read more

The coffee is still good but I still feel like the staff hates me for existing. The drinks remain overpriced by about 50 cents.

Excellent espresso drinks for reasonable prices, 75c extra for soy/almond/oat milk. Gender neutral restroom. Great place to sit outside in the summer and watch the world go by. Sandwiches and pastries galore, with enough to keep vegetarians satisfied. read more

A perfect cappuccino, (4.50)our barista was pleasant and they have a loyalty card they stamp eventually you can get a cup for free! Conveniently next to Boqueria which we stopped for tapas but I wanted coffee from an actual cafe, relaxed atmosphere would return! read more

Hungry Ghost - Cappuccinos - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I wish I could tell you about how excellent their cold brew/espresso/lattes are, but I don't drink any of those things. What I do, is I eat cookies. When my friends dragged me in here for a coffee break, an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie caught my eye. I'm a grown-ass man that can eat a cookie if he wants to, so I bought it.* And it was good. It won't change your life or anything, but if cookies are changing your life, you need to re-think everything that's going on with you. _____________ *OK, I may have thrown a tantrum until someone else bought me the cookie. read more

I have to say I'm surprised by some of the negative reviews. It's a cute small coffee shop/cafe that serves great coffee, good food, beer & wine. The service was fine. The prices I thought were reasonable and in line with other places of it's kind. Very clean, quiet relaxing atmosphere. The coffee was just how I like it strong & rich. I have nothing but good things to say. read more

Hungry Ghost - cappuccino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I got a cold brew and scone for breakfast. Service was fast and food was good. I also got to sit on the outside bench for a few minutes and people watched. No hassle place. Would definitely stop by next time I'm in Fort Greene again read more

I normally go to coffee shops to work. This is one of those "we don't have wifi because we want you to just sit and enjoy each other's company" coffee shops. Ugh, fine. I get it. But I want to do work. Pros: + As with all of the HG locations, it is beautifully designed and decorated. + In particular, the FLOORS could be stared at all day. You don't even need to bring a friend here to chat with. You can just buy a drink and stare at the floor. It's that beautiful. + Kombucha on tap. YAHHHHH + They have the super trendy cold brew with nitro. I don't know why I'm listing this as a pro since I've never had it (anywhere), but I appreciate it for some reason. + Espresso is delicious. + Just STEPS away from the Lafayette station (C train) or the Fulton St. stop (B52 bus). How convenient. Cons: - NO WIFI :( - Lots of food and pastries--none of them vegan. - Staff is a little "too cool." Some of them barely crack a smile. :( BUT DEM FLOORS! :) read more

I order an espresso with a little cream and guy at counter repeats my order then charges me for a macchiato. He gets more clarification from the barista that I only ordered an espresso and tells me he still charged me for an macchiato and makes no attempt to correct the overcharge. Since when are things like this ok? Arrogant and dishonest. read more

Nice little coffee place close to downtown Brooklyn. It's looks nice and there's seating inside as well as outside. I got an oat milk latte for about $5. It's priced about the same as any other coffee shop in the area. The latte was good. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area! read more

Hungry Ghost - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Came into the cafe on Saturday, I had just missed the rush hour which I thought was great just. Had a great experience with the person at the counter but the barista on bar was so beyond rude. ( note he was wearing a red/ maroon mask) I had order a extra dry cap and an Iced americano with little ice. He starts complaining that he can't make the americano because it needs more ice and then fills it to the very top. The milk for the cap wasn't even close to being dry or foamy it was so watery that even the counter person told him that I wanted it dry and instead of resteaming the milk he just pours this watery milk into the cup and called it a cappuccino. read more

Serves Stumptown Coffee and their pastries and goods are baked in house. I went first to the Hungry Ghost at the corner of Flatbush and 6th Avenue, this new location Fulton is just as amazing! I had an amazing caffe latte to stay (they also do lovely Latte art). check it out if your in the area :) read more

Hungry Ghost - cafe latte to stay - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

$5 dollar cold brew. You'd need to have a brew mighty enough to keep me wide eyed for at least 8 hours to get me to fish over that cash. Hungry Ghost has just that, and even though that little voice in my head says "Sam, nooooo" every time I hand over my card to the counter I refuse to listen to reason, and only my jittery heart that screams "IM READY TO GET JACKED UP." In all seriousness, Hungry Ghost has a great brew. Yes, its pricey - but the neighborhood is, too. This is superior to coffees youd get at Starbucks or Dunkin, so the extra bucks usually always ends up being worth it. The vegan cookies they offer have always been a nice treat to my day, especially the salted chocolate chip. Staff is typically very nice, some more chipper than others but in all honesty I don't know how many fake smiles I could pull off on a Sunday morning in the middle of morning caffeine rush hour. 4 instead of 5 strictly because they recently upped the prices (but who am I kidding - I'll be back, like, tomorrow). read more

Met a friend here for a meeting yesterday and was happy to make yet another awesome Brooklyn discovery. Ft. Greene is one my absolute favorite areas in Brooklyn, so whenever I come across a noteworthy establishment it's always a plus! My friend selected this spot and we thought, being that it's a coffee shop, that it would be an environment where we could be productive. You can imagine my surprise when I walked in and saw a beer in front of him. Almost counter-intuitive like walking into a Starbuck's and smelling French-fries. Yes, not only does this coffee shop/bakery have beer on tap, they have HAPPY HOUR on Sunday! Needless to say, I indulged so my friend would not be drinking alone. I ordered a Blue Moon and had one of their Oven Toasted Sandwiches which had chicken, fontina cheese, arugula, and pesto mayo. The sandwich was not spectacular but also was not horrible. It tasted what it looked like so there was no real "wow" factor. To be fair, I can safely say it was between decent and good. I was probably more wowed by the novelty of the space and the friendly staff. If this review was solely on food I would have given it a 3.75 stars. However, the quaintness, novelty, and energy of the place pushed it into the 4-star range. The only other challenge here is that there's not a whole lot of seating. Overall, will definitely be coming back and trying other items on the menu. read more

Good but kind of pricey and small. "do you want that for here or to go?" **me: looking around at the tiny yet adorable coffee shop with all seats filled and then out at the drizzling rain on the street.** "I, ah, guess to go." I came for the Dough donuts which were good but I noticed the grease from my donut completely saturating the paper bag it was in as I walked. I had a large iced coffee to go with it and wish I had tried something called "nitro iced" (similar to nitro beer) they had. Total for donut and coffee? $8 and change. Much like the grease at the bottom of my bag, I felt like it was all too rich for my blood, both literally and figuratively. It's a cute shop though, service was very good and the donut was pretty tasty. read more

I'm often at this location but after today's interaction with the barista in charge of the espresso machine I no longer wish to visit the Fort Greene HG. I know not all the baristas there are jerks but this guy (dark blond/ginger beard, glasses, anger issues, working the 5pm shift on Saturday) sure yelled at me because I simply asked him about my coffee. Excuse me!!! A simple "it's coming up" would've done the trick but no he had to yell that he had two lattes coming up and made me feel super uncomfortable & stupid for tipping. Other clients (you know those people that give their $$ to the coffee shop & TIP too BTW) looked at me just as shocked as I was with his reply. Someone with such poor anger management ability should not be working with the public! read more

Hungry Ghost NY BK Fort Greene 6pm Tuesday 28th June 2016 Four Stars Hungry Ghost is a coffee shop, bar, and eatery rolled into one sleek space. The chalk board menu, Cow skull, and other decorations give it a hipster French cafe look. They have one high top communal table and 5 two-top tables, and a bench seating outside. I had a Large draft Kombucha using my Cups App. Use promo code 25pn5 for a $10 credit and ability to drink discounted coffee. The Kombucha was effervescent, citrusy, and really refreshing. This is definitely place that I will continue me back to. read more

In town from Seattle for a quick visit, one of the best Mochas I have ever had. Great chocolate to milk ratio, latte art was done well. Croissant was great, (they don't have an oven to warm anything up FYI) read more

:Stopped in here on a Whim, and ordered a Cafe Au lait. So beautifully made by the barrista there...The Place is a quaint little NY coffee shop/internet cafe. Very typical of any other Artsy New York cafe....but i was really impressed with the friendly atmosphere. The architecture of the building is quite the eye catcher if you can picture horse drawn carriages, and cobblestone streets back in its hay day... The history is all around you and if you close your eyes for just a short moment, it feels like you're back to the Era of the 1800s. Its just a Very Special Area of Brooklyn... As New Yorkers, We all forget to stop and breathe in the beauty and history of our great city...moving so fast all the time that we feel if we stopped, we might miss something. When in truth you are missing everything... read more

Serviceable coffee shop. Decent selection of baked goods and breakfast tacos in the am.

I come here for breakfast sometimes, I said sometimes because it can be a tad bit pricey for me. The decaf americano is very good but my favorite thing to get is the cardomon bread ( from Ovenly) and the egg and cheese sandwich on a french roll. The cardomon bread is moist, has the right amount of sweet and has this crunch on top and that reminds of the 7 up cake my mom used to make back in the day. The egg tastes like how eggs used to taste with a little salt and pepper; the cheese tastes like gourmet cheddar, the bread is super fresh. Mohammed and other guy he works with (the guy who works in the mornings with the long braids, I didn't catch his name, thus the description), is very nice. read more

Cute and hip coffee shop. They do serve beer, wine, sandwiches, pastries, and coffee/tea. I ordered an iced coffee with vanilla. It was pretty refreshing, but it isn't the greatest iced coffee I had. There's no wifi offered here which is why I docked off a star. They also offer an outside sitting area which is nice. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE. Staff is friendly Coffee is AMAZING Line can get long which is a pain when your in a rush. But I highly recommend trying any of the locations read more

The vibe here is very relaxed and invites you to sit and spend time inside, or, enjoy your beverage on the go. They serve Stumptown coffee here, one of my favorites, in addition to a variety of specialty teas, handmade Italian sodas and even Kombucha on tap. They also have a lunch menu and some pretty amazing looking baked goods (which I definitely need to try next time). I got a cappuccino, one of my favorite coffee drinks, complete with it's little Florette. read more

Team is the best! Helped make my life so easy for an event I was organizing - responded immediately to my inquiry, offered to deliver pot of coffee to my building, brought all the coffee accessories I hadn't even thought of - even thought of the almond milk - and picked-up after it was over. Thank you Hungry Ghost In terms of food/drink, the cold brew and chocolate chip cookie are fantastic read more

This place is great for a Monday morning coffee drop in. It's cozy, has the right amount of buzz and the coffee is yummy. It's a nice place to study if you need to get a bit of work done, it's well lit and has a cozy seating area. I ordered the cappuccino and an everything bagel with cream cheese. They also have stumpton coffee. I'd go again! read more

A cutesy meets industrial coffee shop with friendly baristas and a clean, big bathroom (bc we knows those are a rarity in NYC). The unique: Nitro It is their standard cold brew but infused with nitrogen to produce a foamy, rich almost slightly bubbly cold brew. It's less acidic than the regular cold brew and definitely doesn't need the addition of milk. It's the Guinness of cold brews. I'm obsessed. Cold brew: not as impressed. It was standard, but not outstanding. It was a little too acidic and watery for my taste read more

There was a hair in my bagel. Not ON but baked IN. Was into this place because it's a cute coffee shop and there's benches outside. My only qualm prior to today was that there's no wifi. Now things have changed.. It's a shame and I'm sure it was a one-off. At least here's hoping. read more

Made a quick drop here on a rainy Wednesday morning. I had a drip coffee, she had a latte, and we split a chocolate doughnut. Everything was great! Coffee was some of the best I had while visiting NYC, and the doughnut was perfect. The space was inviting and cozy. We'll be back next time we're in the area! read more

Awesome coffee shop with AWESOMER AC! Perfect for a mid summer day drink. They have nitro brew coffee on tap. They even have kombucha on tap!!! I need to get one of those in my future house. Great coffee and great vibes! read more

I love this spot. I have no idea how the baristas are so nice, even when it's insanely busy. The coffee is great, and I love the pastry offerings. There isn't much seating area, but I kind of like that -- keeps it a cozy neighborhood joint. read more

Great coffee, friendly service, and good vibes. It's a small place with only a few tables, so the scene is chill. No power outlets and no WiFi, unfortunately. read more

Cute coffee shop, love that they have Stumptown. Probably not good for working, this place is tiny. But good to stop in and grab something to go. I wish they were dog friendly - I get it but still. If I can take my dog into Starbucks to quickly order a coffee I don't know why I can't do that here. read more

I've been here a couple times, and really like this coffee shop. It's on the smaller side with a few tables inside and a bench outside to sit at when the weather is nice. They have a great selection of pastries along with stumptown coffee and other beverages. The staff are all very friendly, and they have a punch card so if you become a frequent visitor, the 10th purchase is free I believe. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the area! read more

Horrible attitude from the staff working at this location. I don't think the manager trains the staff well or at the very least have some simple basic customer service. Nasty nasty horrendous attitude. Been a customer for many years but this is the last straw. I'm done with the overpriced mediocre coffee with a huge dose of nasty attitude. read more

What a cute coffee shop! My friend and I were in the area and were hoping for some coffee and stumbled here. I love the seats outside of the place that resemble subway seats; on a sunny day, they are a great spot to people watch from. I ordered the matcha latte from here. Loved the taste, had a good deal of matcha powder at the bottom of my drink at the end though, meaning it never fully dissolved in. The drinks are a little pricey, but to be expected at a place like this. Bathroom is pretty clean, great location, and comfortable to be at for a little while. read more

HG is usually my go-to because I like their croissants, but I went to this location and was sorely disappointed. They don't have WiFi, so it's a good coffee shop for meeting up to chat or read a book, but not for working on a laptop. There are a few seats, one medium table that can seat about 4 people. But it isn't super comfortable. read more
