Literally the best place I have ever eaten. I come from Italy, so I have been lucky enough to taste some of the best food in the world, but this place is something else: an explosion of nectar, flavor, colors, and pure goodness. The presentation is outstanding. I couldn't stop eating and relishing this sumptuous food. Honestly, I can't even write a proper review because there are only 5 stars available. This place deserves at least 15 out of 5. read more

What a fun find for someone who loves eating beautiful food that is also healthy! Some of the fare is vegan, otherwise they're all vegetarian. They're known for their beautiful acai bowls, but they also serve flatbreads, a tikki burger, tofu salads, smoothies, and matchas. The Kadamba Bowl was a happy mix of miso maple tofu (yum, great flavor combo with slightly sweet and savory!), tapioca chips that tasted great alone. Sweet potato, green peas and herb hummus, broccolini, avocado, and purple rice. Everything was delicious, and the colors and presentation were so pretty! Even the purple rice was seasoned; I didn't use the dipping sauce for anything since each element was so flavorful. There was also a pastry case with tempting choices like banana toffee cake, black sesame passion fruit tart, and I ended up trying the rhubarb pistachio tart. It had a ton of cooked down rhubarb atop a nutty layer of pistachio filling.l and tart crust. Nicely done and sweet but without being overly so! The vibe is a little more "hippie," than the average cafe, as the music sounded like chanting and some of the staff had face paint (maybe spiritual markings?), but everyone and the atmosphere was very pleasant and calming. You have to go on a little journey down the stairs and through another restaurant but they're clean. Overall, the food was great and it was nice eating food that made my eyes and heart (and hopefully my body) happy! If you're in the area, definitely check them out :D read more

Delicious food, friendly service, calm vibes. I've been waiting to go there for a while, but it is only open thursday- sunday which is a pity. I had some sort of bowl - that was so filling and so flavorful. you walk out feeling like you did something good for your body instead of stuffing it with empty calories. The food and drinks are so nicely placed. (instagrammable). you won't only enjoy your own plate of food - you'll find yourself peering at the next tables over to check out what everyone is having. read more

This is a 4.5 star review Alas, the influencers got me and I found myself at Kadamba Kafe today. This place is really well documented online. Lots of influencer partnerships. But that would really only be a problem if the food wasn't good. Thankfully, it is! Kadamba Kafe is adorned outside with some happy yellow furniture and beautiful sidewalk chalk. It's quite a bit more unassuming when you walk in, but the staff were incredibly soft and I felt instantly calm upon entering. It was pretty slow when I got there around 12:15 on a Friday, but picked up as time went on. They have a great selection of vegan and plant centric dishes, with, what seemed like multiple cultures of food represented. I was initially inspired to come here because of the drinks and I was not disappointed. I'm a matcha hater, but I had to try this strawberry matcha ($9) and I really liked it! I also got a cheese and tomato toastie ($10) that I could not stop taking bites of. I was pleasantly surprised by everything, even if I was simultaneously wishing there was a little more style to the decor. One thing I noticed is the that the building is connected to a cultural dance center nextdoor. Certainly not a problem, but you'll likely hear loud rumbling consistently throughout your time here (dancers I think), so keep that in mind if you're trying to work here. read more

I have been influenced (and I'm so happy about it). I saw an unreal looking Tik Tok of this place a while ago and thought that it all couldn't possibly look that beautiful and taste as good as people are saying. BUT, I was proven so wrong. The outside is very cute with yellow tables and chalk on the ground and the inside is just as colorful and adorable. This is one of those menus where I could have closed my eyes and chosen and I would've been happy with what I got. We ended up getting two smoothies and two plates. I was wowed. The plates were filled with hearty food and dips. Surprisingly, nothing on the plate was just for show and it was all very very good. It was healthy but still very filling and satisfying. I'll be coming back here for sure. read more

Grabbed the acai bowl as a light dessert after having dinner in the area. The cafe was pretty empty at that time, and had a nice and cozy ambiance. The bowl was loaded, and had so many fresh and tasty ingredients! Would definitely come back for the bowl (and doesn't hurt that it was so beautifully presented) read more

This was maddeningly delicious. I feel like it's rare nowadays that i call food beautiful but like look at this acai bowl what other word could you use to describe it. Also never had an acai bowl so unique and truly flavorful with so many diff components. Spiced granola and a crazy butter of sorts idek what it was but it was so good i was scraping the bowl. The tofu sandwich was also INCREDIBLE and the potato wedges were some of the best fried potato derivative i've had in my life. U must come!!!! read more

Kadamba Kafe - Acai bowl, tofu sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

My friend and I had a really odd experience and it's sad because we were so excited to try this place out. The smoothie I got was actually pretty good, but the service was off. For starters, we were told the kitchen was closed for food but that wasn't the case. My friend asked multiple times about what's in the food because she has a nut allergy and the person up front didn't seem knowledgeable about the ingredients. It also seemed like they were more interested in servicing/helping other patrons in the restaurant. Overall I think it impacted our experience. read more

The food and pressed drinks were soooo good! The staff was nice and the location was in a seemingly safe and clean area. However, i do have a nut allergy and they weren't very knowledgeable about what had nuts in it and what didn't, also nothing was labeled which made it the experience a little underwhelming read more

A standout in the Brooklyn downtown near Hoyt schermerhorn subway stop. Really fresh menu with lots of food styling and attention to detail . They have your health in mind but the flavours are nothing short of brilliant . They have to go food a full a la carte menu and smoothies, fresh juices, latte's and it's all vegan and vegetarian and their desserts are on some other level read more
