    The service is exceptional. You are greeted and not rushed. The food is always freshly made with love. The ambiance is always open and inviting. Bring a group or a laptop. Love the space.

    Jerk Chicken Wrap
    Heidi M.

    Wraps were really great, especially the jerk chicken one. I did have to wait about 20 min for them but they came out piping hot and so good. A few years ago I also got to try some of their catering at my old office and remember loving the food. Very cozy and chill ambiance. Will need to return to try the rest of their pretty extensive menu, which is pleasantly surprising to see for a cafe.

    No one here to take my order.

    Here i am standing at the counter waiting. Its been about 3 minutes. Its 1:15 on a thursday and no one is here to take orders. No employee in site. Pretty bad business. Worker just finally strolled in with lunch and just said hi no apology lmao. Got my drink, it was pretty good !

    Back again for a quick lunch. The food took way longer this time but I was given another drink for my troubles. Lips cafe drinks and food is consistently good-- hence why I always come back! Was about to get a seat and get a little work done too. As always the music was good and the staff were friendly.

    The Lips Cafe looked so cute from across the street. I was enticed to go inside. The server was cool and the space gave good vibes. I ordered a matcha with a splash of coconut syrup. Each sip was absolutely delightful. If I lived near, l'd be a regular.

    My lattes are always 10/10 and I love how if you ask them to surprise you with a drink they do and it tasted delicious. Customer service 10/10 and the space is a vibe . I haven't tried the food but it always looks really good.

    Bake and Saltfish
    Lisette C.

    This was a very tasty meal. My only issue is I thought it was a sandwich. I didn't appreciate having to do work and put my sandwich together myself. I ordered through ubereats and so I cannot comment on ambiance. I will say my food arrived steaming hot. I also ordered an americano coffee and that was also tasty. I live a few blocks away and definitely will stop by soon.

    Book Release Event
    Devin T.

    The atmosphere of the place was cool. There were different books around the place for decor. Sweaters and shirts hung up for sale. Pastries, multi flavored lemon-aid and cocktails for purchase. I came to this place from the Bronx for a book release event. AMAZING TURNOUT KIANA ST. LOUIS. Get The Book "Love Trauma Healing" If You Haven't Already! The cons were the people working at the place, didn't seem to have knowledge of their merchandise prices. Someone asked how much a sweater was, and they didn't know. They also didn't seem too enthusiastic about being there that night, with the amount of people making purchases and the crowd in the café.

    Chicken and Waffles
    Kara P.

    We had a decent visit to this black-owned establishment that came recommended by someone from the neighborhood. The person who took our order was moderately personable, but answered all of our questions. The vibe was quaint, but cool. The restroom was clean with black toilet. Random, but cool. It took almost 30 minutes to get my order and I suppose it was worth the wait. I had the chicken and waffles. The waffles were the star. The chicken was cooked well, but covered in sweet Thai chili sauce which was a surprise. Still tasty. My sister had the avocado toast with salt fish. She was just middle of the road on it. We ordered a side of plantain to share. Those were cooked to perfection. She loved her ginger pineapple sorrel and my OJ was fresh and delicious. I want to give this close to 3.75 stars. Overall it was a decent breakfast to start our Brooklyn morning.

    I've come to this cafe on several occasions to get some work done, or unwind. Lips Cafe always hits the mark! Things I love: - Calm atmosphere - Friendly staff - There's a wide variety of food options. My favorite things to get here are the Lemon Loaf, Bake & Saltfish, Salmon Wrap, and Sorrel. Things to Note: - The food is made fresh, so the wait time for your order will vary depending on your meal. - They have reusable utensils, so be sure to note if you're dining in. - This spot is always a vibe on the weekends, so keep an eye out for different social events.

The burger was fresh, juicy, and not greasy at all just really well made. The tater tots were crispy and delicious without feeling oily, which I really appreciated. The atmosphere was just as good as the food comfy, relaxed, and full of a really nice vibe that makes you want to stay and enjoy your time. On top of that, the service was amazing. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot I'd go back to!

And I gotta say, the bartender is doing work. He's the only one working and the whole place is filled up and he manages it very well. They have food and drinks, mocktails included. I love it here. It's very cozy and homey. But just remember to be courteous, that this is a business so it's okay to do work here but if you're gonna be chilling for a while make sure you're getting some drinks every hour or tipping the 'tender. Also careful with some of the hot drinks they can be really.... hot. I burnt the roof of my tongue on my hot cider drink.

    Came here for a fusion/jazz show on a saturday night. The place was packed for the show but…read moreeveryone seemed really friendly and excited to be there. The staff were super friendly as well. Loved the ambiance, very eclectic, and the record player was a nice touch. The band, Zamra, was beautiful and moving. I ordered the zaatar man'oushe with hummus with a chai, all made fresh, and it was very delicious. The chai was pretty light but had a nice fragrance.

    The faded white and pastel colors of the storefronts on Utica Avenue, especially on a hot summer…read moreday, are not dissimilar to what you see on the Metro Léger heading out of Tunis Centre towards the northern or western suburbs. It provides the perfect setting for Barzakh Cafe, a social club/gathering spot of sorts for the pan-Maghreb community across New York. We came for the couscous celebration on July 4th. The owner is Mauritanian, and the couscous reminded me of the ones I've eaten in the northern reaches of Senegal, with tender potatoes, carrots, and cabbage. I had been hoping for something closer to kosksi, but the dish was enjoyable nonetheless. We sat outside in the casually-laid out backyard while hearing songs blending French and Maghrebian Arabic emanating from inside. Barzakh also hosts events from outside the region, including qawwali nights and the like. It is a rare unique space in the neighborhood.
