    Shakshuka Toast, Egg & Cheese Sandwich
    Varsha T.

    Little Roy Coffee is such a cute coffee shop. There's a few tables inside and I love stopping by for a quick meal or to study for a few hours. The shakshuka toast is my favorite on the menu. It's freshly prepared with eggs, cherry tomatoes, and topped with arugula. The bread was toasted to perfection and paired well with the Drip coffee. The latte art is absolutely stunning! The cappuccino had an adorable heart on it. This was one of the best cappuccinos I've had.

    I was in the area to participate in a Yelp Elite Event and sadly the establishment was closed. What to do on a 3H day: hot, humid and hellish? Grab an iced coffee! Luckily Little Roy was next to Elite Event thus a little gem was waiting for me. Little Roy is perfect for any stop in your day: pre or post work, meeting friends, working from home or you can rename that working from Little Roy's! Lol! The menu is short and sweet which I sometimes prefer when it come to coffee selection. They offer usual coffee selection: lattes, cappuccinos, cortado, etc. For food there are tasty options from yogurt with granola to avocado toast and pastries. The employee was very sweet and prepared a delicious iced latte with oat milk.. hit the spot on a 3H day. The cafe is quaint, small and cozy.. I prefer window seating, which was comfy, to look out and people watch. Although I do not live near Nostrand Avenue, thus the trek is s bit long, I can highly recommend this to the locals.

    Loved coming here, it was so serene and calm! The avocado toast was herb flavor forward and I really enjoyed it with my matcha latte! I later had the iced chai and it became my favorite drink there, haha! It was a pleasant surprise to see the Free Palestine poster, I just don't see that a lot since I live in Arizona. Would come here again for sure!

    This place is right next to my new Pilates studio so after an early morning class, I needed something to drink while I had work/meetings. I have been to lips cafe before across the street so I wanted to try something new. This place is relatively small and light with seating for a pair of friends or a small group. They also had wifi which helped me to do my tasks before I had to boogie on home. The person there was generally nice and did my order efficiently. Though the space had a couple of people, it was quite on the quiet side which is fun especially on Nostrand Avenue. I only ordered a chai latte with oat milk because I wasn't in the mood for a toast, a granola bowl or a sandwich at the moment and I didn't want to be too caffeinated which looking back it is a shame because they are very coffee bean orientated. The chai latte was fine. I can come back here in the future and would try a pastry and a cappuccino.

    Alter the corner from my house is little Roy, it's been there about 2 yrs now. This is the perfect spot for having your morning coffee with family or friends. There's indoor and outdoor seating (once it's warm) there's a community board, ppl in the neighborhood used the space as their office. My go to is a iced vanilla oat milk latte no matter the weather, my kid loves their hot chocolate and their ice teas. The best thing I love about little Roy's is that their beans are freshly roasted when walking through neighborhood you can smell it in the air.

    I love Little Roy. Delicious coffee and espresso. Bomb pastries and consistently tasty avocado toast. They also have a great selection of teas. You can't go wrong! The space is open, full of light and extremely inviting. Great staff and service. Unpretentious and down to earth, which is sometimes hard to find in a coffee shop in Brooklyn. I always enjoy my time at Little Roy and highly recommend!

    Cute spot that is a great addition to the neighborhood! The first thing I noticed, beyond the outdoor seating, was the interesting wall design. I inquired about it and was told that it was what was found under the wall paper and they decided to keep it. Very cool. The coffee is good and it's nice that they also have real food. I tried the goat cheese and fig toast. It was delicious! Though how can fig and goat cheese together be bad? But it's also covered in za'atar and a little olive oil. Yum. I also tried a cinnamon bun/sticky bun pastry. Really delicious.

    Swung by here before work to grab a coffee and some beans before a week of work. Was a pleasant environment in the morning with peaceful jazz music playing and the smell of fresh coffee. I didn't spend a ton of time here but think it would be a great place to spend some time relaxing. Space wise there was small tables and would be good for small groups 2-3. The staff was polite and helpful and they have some outdoor space as well. I had the drip which was standard and flavorful. Bought a bag of beans which were not my favorite but not bad by any means. Lacked some complexities I expect from smaller roasters. Overall; chill place with decent coffee.

    No indoor dining at this cafe due to covid but you can go order and pickup. One of my favorites in my neighborhood. Do check them out.

    This is a small cafe with a great deal of character. Good things and places come in small packages and this Cafe is one of them. The music is very soothing and relaxing. I would recommend this cafe to anyone looking to get away from the normal hustle and bustle of New York. I would definitely come back to this Cafe. The coffee was so good I had to have another cup. The muffins are to die for and my egg sandwich with cheese was really good and fresh.

    While I only had the chai latte (tasted very little of the traditional chai spices and more like coffee) it was enough to know a few things. One, clean the machine more often to reduce flavor profiles from bleeding from cup to cup. Two, be sure tip the very kind batista. This place is lovely and low key. Would come again for the coffee since it seemed to taste just like chai tea.

    This is a great cafe in the flatbush Brooklyn area. It's a small space but not cramped. Here are my reasons for the score. 1. The hot chocolate is awesome. So rich. Gotta love it 2. I tried the bagel(cinnamon) egg and cheese which had a mild peppery flavor 3. Quick service One downside to cafe is space. May not be the best for large groups.

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.

    Got brunch here on a Sunday with a friend. We split the Hot Honey Gem Salad and Hottokeki (Japanese…read moresoufflé pancake). The pancake is gigantic and is absolutely meant to be shared. It was really fluffy and smelled soooo good (reminiscent of the HK street cart waffles). But because it's so big, by the time we ate half of it, we were getting a little tired of the same taste. The salad was good but nothing to rave about. For drinks, we tried the Lebowski-San and Kettl Hojicha Kombucha. It was my first time trying a clarified cocktail and it was really unique. I thought there would be more ice cream honestly but I still loved it. The kombucha though was shockingly tasty. I loved it so much that I bought a bottle online once I got home (they're from Kettl, a local distillery in Brooklyn). The venue is really spacious and I actually planned a wedding here in the past. They host a lot of events and there was even a birthday party happening when I ate there. The only downside is the location. The only train that goes there is the G so it's a bit hard to get to. Food: Hot Honey Gem Salad (radish, buckwheat, fennel, yuzu vinaigrette) 9/10 Hottokeki / Japanese Soufflé Pancake (fluffy hotcake, honey maple butter, sesame) 9/10 Add Mini White Sesame Soft Serve (soy milk, sesame oil) 10/10 - I would recommend just getting this on its own instead of the Hottokeki if you're craving just a little dessert. Drinks: Lebowski-San (green tea shochu, pisco, sakura leaf, clarified matcha ice cream, cold brew coffee floater) 9/10 - This is a clarified cocktail which I didn't expect. I thought I was ordering a matcha ice cream-like drink so although the drink was good, all the ingredients are very subtle in flavor. Kettl x Unified Ferments 'Hojicha' Kombucha (jou yanagi hojicha) 10/10 - This is an absolute must-try!

Last I was here was for brunch and we sat in the outdoor patio area. We got a two things to share and a main each. Shared plates were the soufflé pancake and silken tofu. Both were a miss for me. The pancake had a baking soda aftertaste and also they brought it out right away instead of after we finished our mains so it sat around in the table for a while until we were ready to eat it. Silken tofu had a mediocre flavor palette. There was no variation in texture either, just one plate of mushy items. We didn't finish either one of those. For a main, I ordered a a Wagyu beef bowl. It was really good but on the smaller side. The service was attentive aside from a spillage when the order came. Then they started placing plates on top of the spill instead of wiping the table. Eventually they cleaned it but overall there was lack of training in this case. I am not dying to come back here but would consider if I'm in the area again. I really like the actual space but food/service can improve.

Went with a friend and we both immediately felt a bad energy. The person taking our order was just a little stand off ish. We just wanted to get our drinks and get out as quick as possible. We got the blackberry matcha and a latte. You're not going for the matcha, because the matcha flavor isn't really there ~ the blackberry was fine, super sweet though. Had 3 espresso shots in the latte yet it was still somehow so watered down and had an odd aftertaste. Big yikes overall, we could've dealt with the weird pretentious vibes if the coffee was actually good. Only upside is TakuSando is a block away. EDIT: For Bri Can totally understand if people have off days, maybe the baristas were having a bad day, it happens. Either way, the review reflects what we experienced. We had heard great things but unfortunately felt unwelcome from the moment we ordered, whether intentional or not ~ the energy felt cold to us and that changed the experience. & we just didn't love the drinks. You're def right, Rhythm Zero just isn't our cup of tea and that's totally fine. Hope yall continue to do your best and serve the fan base you have :) Love small businesses, don't love a weird Yelp guilt trip (which seems like a pattern for you across all 3 locations...)
