Good coffee, nice decor, but they need a shade on that massive window. I was sweating and blinded the whole time I was in there.

Awesome flat whites and iced teas but there was no AC (at least not today, when the weather was over 90)! Also, there are tons of people with laptops who stay for several hours so be prepared to be aggressive in order to get a seat/table. No outlets so don't expect to charge anything. Other than that, great staff and their chocolate chip cookie was super good! The three stars are solely for service and coffee/food! read more

Ahhh, Toby's Estate. I first enjoyed Toby's coffee at their Flatiron location so once I moved to Williamsburg and heard one of their best stores were in town, I was excited to try it out. The ambience is unmatched at this spot - the high ceiling floor to window set up is simply wonderful on a beautiful spring day. I highly suggest a Black & White on tap if available, but my favorites are the espresso variations. I'm not sure what training the team goes through, but each barista I've had conversations with while making their pour always comes with a crisp result. I've seen some negative reviews in general about their coffee, but it seems that these might just be one time instances and believe me as someone who has a base level knowledge of espresso pouring it's not the easiest! I've personally had Toby's baristas unsatisfied with themselves and ask me if they can try again and it's much appreciated as they know some people that come here want the best of the best which is what they're known for. For anyone in town (and in the NYC area) I strongly recommend trying it out!! read more

One of the prettiest Cafés I visited in NYC. The interior is gorgeous and the place is quite spacious but the place is usually quite packed with people/tourists. It is in good neighborhood of Williamsburg and the coffee is above par. I enjoyed their cold brewed coffee. read more

Huge coffee shop that of course Is inside of a garage space in Williamsburg. Toby's roasts some of the best beans that many other places use, but here you can get a drink straight from the source. Excellent espresso and iced coffee beverages served by skilled and friendly baristas. Not incredibly high prices either considering the premium brand. read more

This place huge and looks beautiful. The coffee was just average and nothing special. Nice place to come if you're looking for a spot to catch up with some friends, grab a bite. Not a good studying spot though since I didn't see any outlets. Didn't find a wifi connected to this place so I had to use the wifi from the madewell next door. read more

Really cool coffee shop. Interior is super nice and it definitely fits in with the neighborhood. Lots of space to get work done and I'd say about 75% of the people drinking their coffee in-house had a laptop in front of them. I got a simple cold brew but my friend swears by this place and comes basically everyday. Being that it is it little bit more pricey than your standard Dunkin or Starbucks, grab yourself a punch card, 10 for 1 free. Not sure if this is everyday of the week but they were still serving breakfast at around 3pm on Sunday. Looks like they bring it to you as well which is always a nice touch. Definitely recommend! read more

Yum - really nice cappuccinos, cool lofty space. Feels like you're amongst a slew of architecture students for some unbeknownst reasons. Great sandwich with "coffee lacquer" bacon and cheese with eggs - kinda like, sublime. read more

Good coffee and plenty of seating, but limited seating. Came here on a Saturday and it was PACKED. The baristas were pretty fast and nice. I will def come back, maybe at a less busier time. read more

It's always packed, and there is nothing to hate about it, but I hate it. I hate the same type of people sitting there with their macbooks, all perfectly dressed. I probably look more or less like them, but as Woody Allen says, I don't always want to join the club that would have me as their member. read more

A $12 omelet was maybe 2 eggs & the side salad was 4 leaves of some sort of fancy lettuce. I do not suggest anyone over 100 lbs come here for anything other than overpriced coffee, which at this point is out of my budget for lunch. Would not reccomend. Go to the bean nearby unless your okay with ordering twice to be moderately satiated Super unhappy. Empty belly. Not even a side of toast for $12 read more

Kudos to Toby's Estate for doing something at least a bit different from other coffee shops in the neighborhood. The space is rather large and bright, with large windows and ample seating. I've noticed a couple friends and other yelpers mentioning something about attitude, but honestly, when I went to Toby's, I was carrying a bag of Grady's Cold Brew from the Brooklyn Flea and the girl at the register asked if we had ever tried Toby's iced coffee. She willingly gave us two free iced coffees as well as the americano's we ordered, and I have to say, they were both quite good. read more

Nice coffee shop vibes. Staff is really friendly and good amount of seating available. The big windows are great because a lot of natural light comes in! read more

The large open windows beckoned me in, and after the first whiff of espresso beans as I walked in the door, I was sold. The boy opted for a cup of their English Breakfast tea, while I started out with a cappuccino. Forewarning - Toby's roasts some strong beans, and this ain't no Starbucks wuss cappuccino - it will have you bouncing off the walls in no time. To accompany our beverages, we split a delicious chocolate biscuit and pistachio biscotti - both of which appear to be made onsite, and were fresh, crisp and flavorful. I wanted a drink to keep me cool on the walk back home, so I grabbed an iced coffee for the road, and don't regret it one bit. Their beans are perfection, and have the perfect, almost fruity aroma to balance out their strength. While it isn't the cheapest cup to be had in the burg ($3.95 for a capp, $4.95 for a tea), the fact that it's a mom n' pop operation, and their friendly demeanor sold me. Australian accents and iPad cashiers? I can't wait to go back. read more

This is my go-to coffee place at the moment. It has nice big windows that let in a ton of natural light. The decor is really summery and tasteful. I much prefer it over Sweetleaf down the street, which was...pretty obnoxious tbh. It was Toby's that truly converted me into being a coffee person. read more

Living in Seattle, WA, a place which is world renowned for having some of the best coffee in the world, it also attracts certain coffee snobs that will tell you that a cappuccino should not be more than an 8oz. Still, the coffee is excellent and the experience is part of the city and their pride in having such a recognized coffee and coffee shops. I have been coming to NYC a lot in the past few months for work. My friend told me that we should go to Toby's Estate, she heard it was good. There is a lot of bad coffee in NYC so I am always up to heard peoples recommendations. We headed out there. We got there and I thought we were in an apple store, everyone had a mac book pro, the place was sterile, all white with wood (typical of places like that, I wonder how many magazines they had looked at to copy that look). It is fine though, I am not coming here to hang out, unlike all those "bloggers" with their MBPs so that is fine. I ordered a non fat cappuccino, I do not like whole milk and have been ordering non fat cappuccinos for years now with no problem. The Barrista said, I cannot make you that but I will make you a skim Latte. I did not want to argue with her, she was being super pretentious. She acted like she was the coffee police and I was commuting a huge crime. It was paying time and the girl behind the ipad, yes they use an ipad for you to pay, was actually really nice, and there are suggested tip buttons (like on a cab) which is a bit ridiculous since this is a coffee shop. As always I gave a tip because I understand that one pretentious hipster barrista should not screw it up for everybody. The coffee was good, I have had better, I have had worst but I would go to stump town or even vita any time over this place. read more

I'm sticking with my four star review as its a nice place to hang out and get some quality coffee. However, I would say its an average place to work/study in my view - not as bullish as I was before. Its very busy and can be pretty difficult to grab a seat, which wasn't a problem a couple times i've been the past but starting to see it as an issue. Other than the fact that I would be hesitant to work here, I do think its a nice atmosphere and offers good coffee and tea. read more

Good coffee, nice neighborhood. The only bad thing is too many people here, lol, bathroom line is long.

I heard Toby was the person who taught the founder of the bucks how to make coffee... Welcome to capitalism 101. The coffee was delicious and the decore is quirky. The store grinds the coffee bean on premises and you can see it in action toward the back of the store. The store is spacious and the fixtures are from recycle brooklyn.com. I suggest everyone give Toby's a try, because the coffee is worth a try! read more

Had a chance to go here a few months back and I really enjoyed this place.The seating area is very big and has a good mix of work areas as well as regular bar stools and lounge chairs. I had a macchiato which was very good. Didn't get a chance to eat anything here. The staff was very fast and friendly. The place is a bit loud though and because of the heavy customer traffic it was hard to hear my friend talk. This is a problem that Blue Bottle faces as well. read more

i had a feeling this place was going to suck the second i saw the sign that said "our coffee's iced iced, baby." i shook my head and walked in anyway. so, half the cafe looks like a general store, and the other half has a "espresso lab" that looked like it was filled with people eating lunch. after you plod through a bunch of hipsters and parents with strollers, you might find a crappy plastic chair to sit in, and drink a really gross cup of coffee. but it's not worth it. this place sucks. there's better coffee shops within walking distance. read more

In the hip Williamsburg neighborhood. Apparently the Flat White is well known, it was pretty good!

Let me start with the only negatives about the Estate. To begin, it's almost always quite busy and you may not find a seat. You also will wait ten minutes if you order a sandwich during a busy period. Only come here if you have the time. Also, it is pricey (their sandwiches run $9-12). However, if you have the time and the willingness to spend money for quality, this is the best coffeehouse in Brooklyn. To begin, the design is absolutely beautiful -- it's sleek and minimal with all sorts of cool artifacts, giant mirrors, and bags of coffee decorating the walls. One of the most pleasant decors you can imagine for a café. The service is friendly, even in a rush. I've ordered before and taken a bit of a long time deciding what I wanted and asking some questions, and the person at the counter never looked irritated and helped me decide. I've only had their espresso-soaked bacon egg and cheese sandwich (pictured below), but it is an absolute treat. The bacon is crispy and bursting with espresso flavor and it's worth the $8 to energize your morning with. Their pastries and delectable are full of flavor and they have plenty of chocolaty nibbles for those with a sweet tooth. The true reason for the five stars, though, is the coffee. I've had cappuccinos all over the city, and I have declared the cappuccinos here to be the best I've ever enjoyed. Despite being only 8oz, they have the kick of a drink twice the size -- I've had it multiple times and each times the shots have been perfectly pulled and the foam has been velvety and encompassing. You'll wake right up after drinking shots here, and the pour-over cups are stupendous -- I've only had the Kenya, but it was great. Everyone close to Toby's Estate needs to stop in for the beautiful décor and the perfect coffee. There's not much better a café in all of the city. read more

Four stars only because there is no place to charge your battery! The coffee is excellent -- this is one of those spots where you go just to try their coffee. I like the cups and the way the tables are laid out too. This is an excellent place to work. Lovely people and nice couches; I've met some cool people here too! Check this place out. read more

I love this place. Great atmosphere, great food, and great coffee!! They inly have wifi on the weekdays, not on the weekend. And I only give four stars because they don't have ANY outlets to plug in your laptop. So bring an external battery. Maybe it's to keep people moving, but if I could plug in my laptop and stay longer, I'd be buying more stuff while hanging out! read more

It's perfection. It's also hard to find a seat so be on the scout when you enter. The food items are incredible although most come in for coffee. read more

Wow. Happened upon Toby's Estate today after visiting the Brooklyn Flea with my sister. The long bench outside filled with people with cups of coffee and drinks instantly caught our eye. Then we noticed the large garage window that made up the entire wall for the storefront the large space inside - at least for a cafe. We decided to talk a look inside and try our luck at finding a table. There was a sizable line for orders but two seats by the door soon opened up. The interior is impressive: high ceiling, warm-urban contemporary decor and an instant cool vibe. Place was packed but it the noise - even with the random euro playlist - didn't make table conversation, laptop-working and magazine reading impossible. Will definitely come back. They offer free cupping classes on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Definite coffee culture here with standard brews to flat-whites and drip filter coffee. They only opened early this year and seeing the crowd and efficient staff they're running a great business that will rival - if not beat - those on Bedford. read more

This place has really good coffee, and it's cheaper than blue bottle and just as good. The interior is modern, service friendly and the seating is ample, but it gets crowded. The seating situation is what would get me back in here- they have some, unlike most coffee spots in Williamsburg. read more

Great coffee, but really really loud and annoying music. Can't hear each other, can't do work. A lot of seats but usually very crowded.

Cool spot with a great atmosphere, but the coffee is so-so. I got their Ethiopian pour-over, and found it to be a bit bland. Ethiopian coffees tend to be bright and citrusy, and this was too mild for my taste. Seems like a cool place to hang out, though. read more

Loved the vibe of the space and am a huge fan of their egg sandwiches!

The decor is quite nice because of the glass windows. The sunlight pours in. The coffee was ok, definitely on the expensive side. The people were mostly pretentious hipsters and tourists looking for/observing pretentious hipsters. I think laptops should be banned from cafes - they ruin the atmosphere and prevent people from socializing. You get what you pay for. Ten dollar fair trade, eco-friendly, genocide-preventing, cancer-curing chocolate bar sold separately (at the register). read more

Always a hit! Service is good, coffee is great and the overpriced pastries are sometimes worth it.

One of those places that wants you to buy something and get out the quicker the better. I stopped by for morning coffee and croissant to check my emails. The place DOESNT HAVE A SINGLE PLUG! So we had to quickly drink the coffee and find a good place around to enjoy the coffee again. Will never come here again. read more

I'm sure I could find some other problems with this place, but the glaring one is that there are no outlets, so you have to charge your computer to 100% before going there. read more

Nice interior, good coffee, way too many computers.

A trendy place to work, which means it's always packed - but the food is only so-so and the wifi is super spotty...

One of my pet peeves about this new hipster coffee movement is the snobbiness that comes with it. The hipster baristas at this place were the worse that i have encountered to date. It seems like this place is the spot to be seen pretendeing to work on your computer. I was quite put off by the horrible customer service. You make coffee for a living you are not better than anyone else! read more

This is fancy thing which has nothing to do with anything spectacular. The coffee is basic as well as the croissants. No service provided by the staff, as for example no possibility to warm up the croissants. Much better to go to Caprice just in front of this shop, much more better quality and service ! read more

Really good iced coffee and interesting muffins if you can snag one before they are all out for the day. Met a friend for coffee last Sunday and indulged in their Scallion Feta muffin - so delish. Setting is great too - I just wish it wasn't so busy/loud! I guess it's great for the business but would come here more often if it was more of a quiet place to read/work/etc. read more
