    This place has the most delicious pastries in the area. I believe they bake their goods onsite! I got the morning bun - swirly cinnamon bun and it was so crispy and soft on the inside. Also topped it off with a small ice coffee with a splash of half and half. I highly recommend this place to people. There is even an back area to sit and do some work. The space has a lot light and so cheerful and a spot to work remotely. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the menu!

    It's a gem in Windsor Terrace neighborhood. Nice staff, plenty of food choices for a veganese like me. Cozy seating area too, inside and out.

    Poetica Coffee opens up its first Park Slope (well, border of Park Slope / Windsor Terrace) output, strategically right by the F train! Now, if you had asked me what this neighborhood needs more of I sincerely doubt I ever would've said "another cafe / coffee joint" and yet here I am, kinda excited about Poetica. It's in a great location and, as of opening during pandemic, it has a buncha outdoor seating in the front and, I presume, seating in the back as well (knowing the layout of the restaurant that used to be here at least....) What's nicest about Poetica, to me, is their unique coffee blends and their under $10 price points. You can get a really solid prosciutto croissant sandwich for roughly $8, a little baked pastry with chicken (they call 'pierogi'?) for under $5, or a small quiche for $6. They also have tempting looking dessert-y things, like scones and muffins and macarons and little fruit tarts. Their coffee is similarly reasonably priced, under $3 for a flavorful (and strong!) drip coffee feels like a breath of fresh air 'round these parts. They also seem to offer your fav coffee bar extras, from matcha to earl grey lattes. No complaints! I'm looking forward to coming back and tasting everything on the menu. Even having only been once, I'm already eyeing this as a potential workday lunch go-to, especially useful once offices resume and I can grab and go!

    Great coffee, kind staff, FREE wifi, and lots of seating. Phone booth for rent $5/30 minutes. Other coffee shops should replicate this one. There's actually seating, electrical plugs, and a phone booth to work in peace.

    Amazing breakfast/ snack. Eggs mixed cheeses made to order

    Such a cool new coffee shop with good eats. I've visited another of their locations which is as great all from the drip coffee, matcha lattes and freshly baked croissants on the premises. Le's not Forget the pierogies and quiches so excited they've opened in an area I visit often.

    My friend and I came here last weekend as she had stumbled upon it a few weeks back and we both thought we should check it out. They have a very cute and albeit Instagram worthy set up in the front and then a very cute back garden area (that we sat in). They have a good selection of coffee and tea drinks, along with pastries and sandwiches. I would definitely come back here again!

    Yay, another location for this great cafe! They made the front really cute, with a recognizable color scheme, and a few small tables and chairs. It's loud! I mean really loud. For a quieter experience, go through the cafe to the back patio. There are three small tables truly outside back there, and a larger enclosed area equivalent to the enclosed outdoor space at the Windsor Terrace location. The wifi is strong enough to attract the working on a project on your laptop crowd (yes I've been that person here). Espresso coffees are expertly made, and they have all of the non dairy milk options. Definitely order a pastry; the quiches are delicious, as are the pierogi (really piroshki, the fried dough things not the dumplings), and sometimes they have other Central Asian specialities (Uzbek? Don't want to get it wrong, but for example there's baklava that is totally different to what you get in Turkey). Also, you know, everything you'd want in Park Slope like macaron, croissants, etc. one gender neutral restroom and they encourage graffiti :) Great service but the indoor space is so narrow, they might have to rearrange the counter at some point...

    I stopped by this place on a Saturday afternoon. The cafe's decor is so beautiful -- it's painted bright blue and adorned with artificial flowers. There are a few outdoor tables as well as seating indoors. I didn't really see the indoor seating since it's past the register, but it was decorated with a huge variety live plants which was lovely. I got an iced latte with oat milk. The coffee was pretty strong but still delicious! I would love to come here again since this place is so beautiful but it's so far ;_;

Nice happy hour and a large chocolate drink selection I was at this unique Guatemalan (ish) restaurant a while back with one of my groups. I said "ish" because the menu has dishes from all over, ranging from sandwiches to BBQ ribs to Guatemalan and Mexican soups. It's out there, and even though not everything works that well, it's fun, and if you can't find something you want to order here, you probably shouldn't go out to restaurants. There was also live jazz music that night, which was loud but nice to listen to. Since it was happy hour, a bunch of us got drinks. I went with a maracuya margarita, which was decent; someone else had a jalapeño margarita, someone had a beer, and someone had a mojito. There were a few nice hot sauces on the table, with the red one reminding me of salsa macha as it had a smoky kick and a spicier green sauce reminiscent of ají verde. They gave us some complimentary blue corn chips and a very mild black bean dip, which was tasty enough and hard to complain about, as it was free. From the appetizers, we got the Hot Figs for $15.95, consisting of honey goat cheese, corn tortilla chips, and plum + pumpkin seeds. This was a unique and fun blend and reminded me more of something you would find in a wine bar. The mix of sweet and salty, with a bit of crunch from the seeds, was nice. This was good, and I would recommend it for a table rather than for a solo diner. There was also The Zingy Salad for $21.95, featuring zucchini spirals, yuzu, tomato, onion, cilantro, pumpkin seeds, and a jalapeño infusion. $18.95. The salad was fine with a bit of crunch and a mild spiciness. It was fine, though a bit wet, for lack of a better word. The best dishes of the night were the soups, which each had its own distinct flavor profile. My sight presence went to the Pepián for $21.95, consisting of chicken, pumpkin/sesame seeds, green tomatillo, cinnamon, cumin, black pepper, carrots, chili coban/pasta/guaque, and potato + rice. There was plenty of tender chicken inside, with the soup having a nice roasted flavor with some spice and a bit of sourness. The potatoes and rice on the bottom added more sustenance to this dish. Almost equally delicious was the Caldo Tlalpeño Rojo for a dollar more with shredded chicken, tomato, black pepper, garlic, onions, peas, chickpeas, corn, achiote, chipotle, Monterey jack cheese, and crunchy blue corn tortilla chips. By comparison, this was a bit heartier, with the melted cheese and shredded tortilla chips inside, similar to soups found in Mexican cuisine. While I also liked the mix of veggies a bit more in this one, as it added a bit more texture, I still slightly preferred the flavor of the other soup, as I usually prefer a bit more spice. The rest of the food was fine. The TPC sandwich for $19.95 with chicken, peanut butter, coconut cream, ginger, cilantro, pickled carrots, and lime was fine. For the number of ingredients, I found it a bit sweet, likely from the cream and the peanut butter mix. The bread was nice, but it also fell apart. It came with a nice side salad with a good vinaigrette. The most expensive at $24.95 were the Slow Cooked BBQ Ribs, consisting of baby back ribs with rice and beans. The ribs were almost a bit too tender as they lacked any bite, which was nice, but the sauce was a bit too generic tasting, reminding me of Sweet Baby Ray's or something similar. The rice and beans were standard. This was also OK. Next came some dessert. There was first the $12.95 Rosemary Churros served with dulce de leche & chocolate dips. While I'm not sure if it worked, the rosemary did add a unique smell and a bit of flavor, and at least it wasn't generic. The churros themselves were hot, and the sauces were standard, with my preference being the dulce de leche. I also ordered a Champurrado for $7.95, which was fine. It wasn't as thick as I expected, though perhaps the style is a bit different than the champurrados I rarely buy from Mexican street carts. The chocolate flavor was very nice, though, and I like that it wasn't too sweet. Another person got a $4 Alfajor, which I got a bite of, which was standard. This place is a bit hard to rate. The two soups were wonderful, I liked the appetizers, and I found a couple of the other dishes just OK. Overall, it was a good meal, but I'm not craving to go back. This would be the perfect 3.5, but I'll round up as that doesn't exist.

Every table has a placemat with crayons which is such a fun way to keep kids and adults entertained. The food was delicious and tasted fresh, living up to their messaging on sourcing local food. We ordered the egg katsu sandwich and the eggs rothko. The sandwich was very well made with a nice crisp panko crusting that didnt feel heavy on the oil, and yet still managed to have a light airy egg inside. The eggs rothko was buttery and flavorful but still managed to not feel too heavy. The broiled tomatos on the side were a nice touch to contrast the egg and toast from the main dish. Overall I enjoyed this place and would love to come back to try more dishes. The vibe was friendly and welcoming, making it the perfect weekend brunch spot.

If I were to do again, no sausage, I don't believe you need it for this sandwich. The chocolate milk is regular. - 4/5 Value (1-5): For what I got, I believe it is overpriced, even though it tasted really good, I don't know how many eggs are used to create the egg katsu, but $17 seems like a reach. There are other items on the menu that cost the same price but will make you feel more full. 3/5 Customer Service (1-5): The customer service was attentive and nice. 5/5
