My friend and I were looking for a place to have breakfast after walking miles. We were so tired and happy to have found this spot with an interesting aesthetic/ seating. They had some comfortable couches but also rocking chairs and it was not too busy so plenty of seating options. Their food menu, at first I thought was a bit limited with only bagel options however I noticed they also had sandwiches so I picked the turkey and cheese sandwich which was so filling and delicious! they had lots of juice options but my friend and I decided to get carrot and orange and it was perfectly made! read more

Used to come here every single day and everything is good. My personal favorite was the bagel with lox add cucumber and tomato. But you truly can't go wrong here. The smoothies are delicious. The pastries are good. The matcha is good. The coffee is good. The service is also consistent everyone here is so friendly and fast. Make sure to tip. They're always doing a great job. And it's really clean inside, it's always cool. The back patio is really lovely and usually not crowded at all. I definitely miss this little spot! read more

It's about average for a cafe. Not too bad, but nothing I'd really remember. The Brazilian Sunrise was sloggy and thick, even for a smoothie; it was slightly colder than room temperature but not necessarily sweet nor refreshing. Overall, I liked the size and price of the drinks, but probably wouldn't return again. read more

I have had pretty good experiences here both times I've gone, but I do also understand why it's been somewhat empty and quiet both those times. On the whole, to me, there's something off about the ambiance. It's loud inside (not from customer conversations) and the music is more of a bumping 2010s pop mix than a chill-cafe mix. All of the drinks are tasty, but also very sugary and have given me stomach aches. read more

Lovely neighborhood coffee shop! I've gotten a Nutella latte every time I visit and it never lets me down! The smoked salmon bagel is fresh and feeling. The blueberry scone is great for people partaking in a gluten free diet. My boyfriend really liked the tuna sandwich. Of note, IC Brooklyn is usually pretty clean but small and the prices are a bit higher than other coffee spots in the neighborhood. read more

I ordered The Green Bowl, a spinach/kale/mango/banana/vanilla yogurt base, topped with granola, kale, blueberries, flax, and coconut flakes. I requested to sub the kale topping for strawberries, which they did! I've had this bowl twice from here and it is a favorite breakfast order for sure. I also had a vanilla iced latte, which had a great balance of sweetness vs. espresso. I also ordered a sesame bagel with veggie cream cheese. The bagel was a bit stale, and the veggie cream cheese was a large amount of shredded carrot and chunks of cucumber in a cream cheese that was very, wet? Almost like the texture of mayo in a coleslaw type salad. It didn't taste bad per say, but I didn't enjoy it. Perhaps an off instance, I will still be back at least for other items! read more

Delicious! We got bagels and croissants and a smoothie and huge iced lattes with just the right amount of creamer. The staff is so friendly and accommodating (made the smoothie to my son's liking) and they have a lovely little back garden that we couldn't use because it had just rained, but it's the spot that counts. We brought our small dog in and it wasn't an issue...10/10 would recommend. read more

Like this place but the lady in the afternoon is extremely rude. I came twice already and she had the same energy. It's like she hates her job. FYI I'm a new customer so I never interacted with her before. I pay and I tip well so it has nothing to do with that. Lady also never by the cashier when you walk in. It's like you're inconveniencing her when you walk in. She had no customers on line, she was literally doing nothing. This is the second time this time I went with a friend and they felt the same. I use to love this place, a really nice guy use to work in the evenings. Coffee shop itself is nice, but do yourself a favor and go in the morning read more

Nice quaint cafe with plenty of cozy seats and good lighting. Would be a great place to work out of quietly. Good drinks and bagels as well. Iced Nutella Coffee: SO SO good. But too much espresso for me as I'm not a coffee drinker. Every sip came with a shot of Nutella as well. Loved it! Brooklyn Bagel (cream cheese, tomato, avocado, pesto): tasty but next time I'll go with another one due to personal preference. It was filling and the bagel to content ratio was good.

Came here for the first time around noon on a weekday and there was plenty of seating including a large backyard area with seating. It's a spacious cafe with many styles of seating to choose from. The food as also delicious and affordably priced! I ordered the Bronx bagel which was very yummy and a juice that I didn't enjoy as much but it wasn't bad. I ended up staying for hours here working - quite a few people were there doing the same thing. Would definitely recommend this cafe and the cushioned window seat for an ideal experience. read more

This was our first bagel stop during our trip and wow were we immediately impressed. This was such a great introduction to NY bagels for two Californian girls. We got the premade bagel sandwiches, matcha latte, and an iced latte. The iced latte was strong beyond belief, easily the best iced latte. The matcha latte was lacking a bit but everything else was just so good it almost doesn't matter. The ambience of this place is also really cute and their patio is perfectly tucked away to make a quiet little reading corner. read more

As a native California acai-bowl-obsessed girl, I always find myself consumed with a craving for one when I'm in New York.. which is a struggle since I've realized how hard it is to find good acai outside of SoCal lol. luckily, I've found this place to be a solid option in Bushwick-- I've ordered bowls from this cafe when the craving gets particularly inescapable and they do the job. I particularly like the Matcha Bowl which is blended with spinach and almond milk and topped with fruit and gluten free granola. The consistency is a bit icey and melts fairly quickly but it's decently slushy enough to not be totally watery and tastes very healthy and refreshing, which I appreciate. A very good nutritious meal and also quite affordable ($10)! read more

Really nice spot, great for work or a coffee date! The coffee is pretty good, and the smoothies are good too! Everything is tasty, but nothing to necessarily write home about. The smoothies are a little watered down but still hit the spot if you're having a craving. Drinks are probably a 3/5 but the cute atmosphere and ample outdoor seating are what bumped this up to a 4 for me! Pretty rare to have a nice private back patio in the middle of Bushwick so I'll be back to hang for sure :) read more

Excellent place to study! It is very peaceful here with the white noise of occasional cafe sounds such as coffee machines. It usually runs from 8am to 7pm, so you can fuel a whole study/work day with their extensive menu of coffee, smoothies, bowls, bagels, etc. I accomplished much more studying here than I did at home. For the couch potatoes reading this, there are a few cozy sofas and chairs. The interior setup is a great mix of small tables, window seats, couches, and more. Outside there is a garden if you want to relax and enjoy the nature. I bought a dirty chai which had an excellent flavor. There have been too many times that I ordered chai from a place, and it ends up being weakly flavored or just made with some weird chai syrup. This had a great blend of spices and that shot of espresso to keep me going. Later on, I ordered a wheatgrass shot which made me feel a bit healthier (at least in my mind). It was a great green break between my caffeinated drinks. I definitely plan on coming here again when I go to Bushwick! read more

Cool cafe. The environment is a place where you can chat, lounge, and chill. Not busy at late afternoon hours. Customer service was good, barista was very friendly. Moving on to the food. I ordered spinach quiche and iced matcha green tea. Spinach quiche was already prepared, so it was just heated up, but it was good. The barista added some side salad, and I would say the dressing was good. I wouldve given this place a 5 star, but had to deduct a star for the iced matcha latte. The matcha taste wasn't strong enough that I could taste the soy milk more than the matcha. Apart from that, everything's good! Will come back some other time! read more

I ordered the peanut butter smoothie and I was impressed. So I decided to order a buttered bagel lightly toasted and they nailed it. I know you must be thinking how could anyone mess up a buttered bagel. Believe me it happens a lot. Usually the bagel is burned at the ends which scratches the top of my mouth which makes it a very unpleasant experience. This bagel was warm, with no dark toasted ends, soft and perfectly buttered. read more

It's a pretty spacious bagel spot with ample seating menu's with pricing for all items they sell which is helpful. Food: 3/5 I ordered a jalapeño bagel with turkey bacon, and scrambled eggs. The bagel was okay nothing to rave about your standard bagel. Nothing to make me fave about it. The texture was chewy and a bit doughy if you like your bagels that texture this may be the spot for you. Overall my bagel was about 10-12$ I believe. They charge extra for a rainbow bagel and other specialty bagels like jalapeño. Which is pretty expensive so make sure you're aware of that. Service: 3/5 The customer service was mediocre. The guy at the front wasn't the most pleasant. Very much get you in an out top of place. They weren't rude but not the most cheerful I'd say.

The shop was busy with morning commuters and school teens getting their morning fix before heading to their destinations. Once inside I did not wait long to place my order, although it took a little time to review the menu before finalizing my decision. I went with the Lox Deluxe on everything bagel toasted and boy it was delicious. The bagel was soft yet crispy on the outside and the combination of flavors from the red onion, capers, cream cheese and tomato was just right. The space is roomy enough with several tables to dine-in and it is also kept clean, which is optimal. Look forward to visiting again to try a different menu item, perhaps during lunch.

Good selection for breakfast

The Branzino was especially good. You could tell it was incredibly fresh because the flesh was so tender and flaky. I also liked how they served it over a bed of vegetables which soaked up all of the delicious sauce. The octopus was also very flavorful. Their focaccia is probably my favorite and the balsamic vinaigrette was so good that my husband and I had to ask for a couple of refills. We even asked our waitress where we could buy it, but unfortunately she wasn't sure. The seafood pasta was also delicious and loaded with seafood. You probably can't tell from the picture but it also came with plenty of little clams. The beef agnolotti looked a bit rich at first but it wasn't overly heavy at all and we ended up finishing just about everything. I'd definitely recommend this place. Just be sure to make a reservation, especially during peak meal times, because it gets pretty busy.

Be sure to make a reservation, as this spot is popular, especially on a nice weekend. We recently had a weekend brunch at one of the tables outside. Everything on the menu sounded good, but we decided on a couple of their specials. Started with the razor clams, which were cooked perfectly and topped with fresh herbs. We also had the fried soft shell crab sandwich with the side of Caesar salad. The sandwich was well balanced with the crunchy crab and herby aioli. The Caesar was light and refreshing. The fish and chips came with two fried filets of white fish and a basket of classic fries. The fish was lightly battered and flakey. The house made tartar sauce was a good complement to it. One of my top meals this year so far! Perfect summer meal!

Their HH deals are pretty solid -- $2 East Coast Oysters, $10 select wines and $6 beer special. Grabbed a glass of Sauvignon Blanc as I waited for my friend to arrive, which they were very patient and accommodating for. As soon as my friend arrived, we ordered a 1/2 dozen West Coast oysters, which were not on the happy hour menu, and several dozens of the HH East Coast oysters. Our server did an excellent job explaining the origin of the oysters as well as the specials of the day. The West Coast oysters were Kumamoto (California), while the East Coast selection were called Bad Boys (from Nova Scotia, Canada). Normally I'm a big fan of West coast oysters, but the Bad Boys were delicious! They were plump with a bold ocean brine & crisp finish. My friend also ordered a cup of clam chowder, which he thoroughly enjoyed. One of the best oyster HH spots I've come across, because it seems to be harder finding good ones lately. Would definitely come back to try the other seafood dishes.

Such a cute new find in my neighborhood! Right off Myrtle Ave. The look reminds me of a cozy living room or a quaint cafe. I am definitely coming back with friends/family. I came here looking for a quick bite, a smoothie, and a place to get some work done. (The work I am now procrastinating on to write this review.) The staff is friendly and efficient. I got the Berry Good smoothie and a Bronx bagel on poppyseed. They were kind enough to fill my request of toasting the bagel! The bagel sandwich was itself delicious and well put together. No filling slid out of the bagel goodness. The scallion cream cheese is not regular cream cheese with scallions thrown in, but instead a delightful blend with all the scallion flavor and none of it getting in my teeth. The bagels are ideal for sandwiches and on the flatter side. Standalone, I would not be so sure. Still, from the looks of the menu there is plenty to choose from---acai bowls, quinoa bowls, quiche, smoothies, juices, and a cafe selection of teas and coffees. I love green tea and I am always impressed when I see more than one green tea option. Sipping my smoothie now. It is delicious and a satisfyingly thick consistency. I have yet to find my smoothie spot and IC BK seems to be it. read more

This place is by far the BEST coffee shop I've been to in Brooklyn. The environment is super relaxing, plenty of tables to work at, nice outdoor area with couches, and the coffee / pastries and ridiculously good (specifically the almond chocolate croissant). The staff is also super personable and friendly! So excited to have such a great coffee shop near my apartment! read more

You've really went downhill. Everything is dreadfully smaller for the same price. You used to have a giant fluffy egg square on your breakfast sandwich and now I've gotten one lumpy small egg drenched in so much overly spicy sauce - that used to be more soft and palatable, I can't even taste anything else, to compensate for the lack of sandwich for over $12. Insane. The fries were the highlight of my meal and that's really saying a lot. $6.50 for one of the smallest iced coffees I've ever received... I think you're staying open on highway robbery alone. Or that the gentrifiers just don't give a damn. Honestly, I could've gotten something better at the Bodega for less than $35 after the Uber fees. I feel bad leaving this honestly, but... how you go from such a wonderfully established place to some dreadful experience is just sad. Do better, become yourself again, because unfortunately I won't be ordering anymore.
