I've been to The Lost Draft a few times and it has never disappointed! As a self professed coffee…read moresnob I'm not always easy to please but they have yet to miss. It's a chill environment playing all the "bops" as they called them, and it's never loud or overwhelming. I also was just there for a Bible Study event hosted by Epiphany Church Brooklyn. The space was so peaceful and open, and the staff was so accommodating and welcoming. Can't wait to pop back in.

Today's cafe - The Lost Draft. I was looking for a cafe with wifi while meeting up with my sister…read moresince she had an online meeting. Saw this place on Yelp w/ pictures of people on their laptop and glad I visited! The vibes in here are good. It's peaceful, with music playing pretty loudly that it drowns out the noise of people talking. There's a lot of seating and basically everyone that comes in here comes in to work on their laptop. Perfect for a hot day since they got the air conditioner blasting at a perfect temperature. I ordered a matcha latte with oat milk. It was okay. I think it could use more matcha as it mostly tasted like oat milk. I also ordered a carrot cake muffin which was good, not too sweet. Service was quick. I could see myself coming here again to do work as there's not many cafes in the area that allow laptop work. I'll try the coffee drinks next time.

Great smoked salmon toast and matcha! Would like a little more dill on toast but the ration of…read moresalmon to cream cheese is great and you get a good bit of salmon! Prices were reasonable, place is very clean and vibey, and baristas were really nice. Didn't want to wait over an hour for golden diner and are so glad we came here!

We stumbled on this cafe after deciding not to wait 2 hours for Golden Diner , which was only a couple minutes away by foot . The stone interior and big windows were so aesthetic. We got hot matcha lattes that were a bit grainy but otherwise not bad. We didn't do any work this time but it seems like a chill place to get some stuff done. There's a big table and a couple smaller tables that may be a little small depending on your set up. We think we might have seen some outlets(?) Overall, we loved the vibes of this little cafe and we might come back during our next NY trip

If you are in this area I highly recommend stoping in.

Literally THE CUTEST place…read more I was very intrigued by the unusual caffeinated offerings of this place so this won our patronage the Sunday morning of our stay in the LES. I saw somewhere that the pandan vanilla latte was worth getting even though I have no idea what that is. That was my plan until GF made that her plan and I had to pivot. Black sesame latte seemed interesting so I attempted to order that but they were out. Whomp whomp. I pivoted again and ordered the banana bread latte. They serve them in those famous ny-affiliated coffee cups I've seen so much but have never had before so I can check that off the box. The banana bread latte was absolutely incredible. Idk how they do it but it tastes exactly like banana bread in coffee form. The pandan vanilla latte was disappointing, I should probably look up what that actually is before complaining. I will say that it was not aggressively sweetened like probably every other flavored latte sold. Such a cute little place I would love to try their matcha shit also.

I can really taste the strong Matcha mixed with the bold coffee flavor. The bold, roasted coffee shine and the texture is silky while the condensed milk adds richness without overpowering it. If you're judging a café by the quality of its coffee rather than just the aesthetics, this one is worth the visit. They also sell pastries which are delightful like Cheddar Scallion Scone, Chili Cheese Palmier. Drink selections are : Flan Vietnamese Iced Coffee, Banana Cream Vietnamese Iced Coffee, Matcha Cloud Coconut Water, Banana Cream Matcha

FANTASTIC coffee spot with top-tier coffee and vibes…read more the coffee: they are so knowledgable about their coffee here, and the notes are divine especially the ones roasted with fruit. they let you smell the beans to pick your favorite one for the pourover, and it was absolutely delicious!! espresso tonic is also carefully crafted with a soft foam and citrus notes, 10/10 the service: super kind, attentive, and involved the space: small so be prepared to sit at the bar or wait for a spot.

Now I understand why this coffee lab has a perfect 5-star rating!…read more From the moment we walked in, Meech, the owner, made us feel welcome. Her warm, genuine personality spills over to her baristas, creating a cozy atmosphere that instantly feels like home. We stopped by on a Monday just before closing (they're open until 2 PM), and even as a non-coffee drinker, I had plenty of options. I ordered the Beet Latte, made with beet, oat milk, and turmeric. It was incredibly smooth, beautifully vibrant, and surprisingly didn't have an overpowering beet flavor. My husband, a coffee enthusiast, loved his strong iced latte, and they even served it with a side of sparkling water--a thoughtful touch on a hot summer day. Moon Lab has only been open for six months, and I truly hope they thrive. What stood out most wasn't just the drinks--it was the sense of community. Because Meech is so personable, we naturally struck up conversations with another customer, making the café feel welcoming from the very beginning. I also admire how she supports emerging artists and coffee entrepreneurs by opening her space for pop-ups and collaborations. If you're interested in partnering with them, you can fill out the collaboration form in the Network section of their website. Moon Lab brings the soul back to what a neighborhood café should be: a place that feels homey, brings people together, and fosters genuine human connection. They're passionate about crafting excellent coffee, but even more passionate about creating a space where people can connect. That's something worth supporting. IG: Jubes111
