I felt like I was in the funky energy of Austin, TX. It was eclectic in the decors and vibes of its customers which seem to be largely regulars. There's a kid play room in the lower level but it's kind of dark down there. There's plenty of WiFi that even reaches to the outside tables. The staff was very friendly and social. The coffee and matcha were great. The bagel was sooo good the cheese felt like good quality and tasty. read more

Postmark Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Was desperate to find a place to work from for most of my work day, and was consistently struggling to find a spot in Park Slope that had any room for me at a table, but finally stumbled upon this place and was so grateful I did. Fast internet, friendly staff, great drinks, and tasty croissants! I also really enjoyed the music playlist they had going on a Monday morning. It was a lot of hip hop, R&B, and then eventually phased into rock in the afternoon. Great diverse playlist! They also have a walk up window to order from the outside and even patio seating! Bathroom was clean as well! read more

Adorable little coffee shop. It was hyper local and everyone seemed to know someone who walked in. The staff were friendly and the cappuccino was good. There was also ample seating. read more

Stopped by on a weekday to get some work done. There were still a few seats available when I arrived. I got a maple latte. The coffee was okay. It was a bit sweeter than I would've liked. There are plenty of tables. There's free wifi, and there is a restroom that is clean. Not a lot of outlets though, so if you plan to work on your laptop, make sure it's fully charged before you go. Staff are nice. They brought the drink to me. Prices are fair. read more

Postmark Cafe - Maple Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Awesome place. Chill place. Nice vibe inside and nice service outside. They're actually glad you're there which is so refreshing in NY! Coffee is delicious, the scones are my favorite. Definitely a park slope staple must try. The patio is nice and shaded and they have a food pantry for you to leave food for those in need. read more

THE spot. A cool take-out window with a small indoor seating area. Great people working here. Always seem to be in a good mood which is crazy to see in 2024. Great bagels too. Hope this place thrives for many more years. read more

I used to live by this place and it was my go-to for morning coffee. Quick service, super friendly staff (I'm talking like, they will listen to your life story like you're in a sitcom). But what I love most is how community oriented they are. They have a community pantry and fridge where people leave food. read more

I love Postmark. Friendly staff, charming vibes, nice owner. It would be a shame if their coffee was bad...but it's not! My personal go-to (when I'm not getting a large drip with oat) is an oat cortado. read more

Adorable spot with warm community vibe, delicious mochas, tasty breakfast sandwiches, and outstanding service. Love this place!!

They have a small hole in the wall kinda feel with their stand/cafe entrance. I got a medium iced mocha latte subbed with oat milk this past weekend. It was a dreamy blend of bittersweet and just the right amount of caffeine to kick off the day. This was around noon time and there was no wait at all, but other people lounged around or lined up after us. They donate all their tips to charity, so they're folks who think about the community. They are very open to personalizing and customizing drinks to your tastes too. They're living up to their good ratings, and I'll definitely stop by to try other drinks when I'm back in Brooklyn next. read more

Postmark Cafe - a hand holding a cup of coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The slowest coffee shop around. No system for managing clients waiting inside and coming up to the window outside. Only one person working. I waited 15 minutes for a terrible, falling apart muffin (tasted gluten free but I was not warned). Ack! read more

Started a lazy autumn Saturday drinking a fresh latte on the sidewalk, watching the dogs go by from the outdoor seating. Coffee was prepared quickly and even had a quick cute foam art. I will definitely have to add this to the top of my weekend coffee options in the neighborhood. read more

Something about Brooklyn always brings back nostalgia. Maybe it's because I grew up there but I always enjoy the tingling sensation of being back in good ol' BK. And of course, one of my fav neighborhoods is Carroll Gardens. Last summer, I stumbled upon Postmark Cafe after having brunch with a friend. I'm so glad we ended up going there because their dirty chai oat lattes are DA BOMB DOT COM. Every time I order one, I gingerly hold the cup in my hand. And every cup has all the right notes - rich without being overly sweet; frothy, yet silky smooth at the same time. It's like having all the joys of Christmas in a cup. Who doesn't want that?! Postmark Cafe is a great place to get some work done or catch up with a friend. I did the latter & my only regret was not spending more time there since we both had plans later on in the day! read more

Cute lil semi-hidden cafe just off 5th (& 6th I think) Park Slope! Adding it to my spots! Owner, Brad seems very nice! Sidewalk seating.

Wonderful service! The people here know how to serve their community not only with a great cup of coffee but with an act of kindness and love. I recommend stopping by and being apart of their community and feeling apart of their family. read more

Maple latte was delicious as was the breakfast sandwich in a croissant! The croissant is flaky and perfectly buttery and eggs are freshly made! The only complaint was I feel like the cheese wasn't melted enough because it wasn't giving that nice stretch when you eat it. All in all tho, I'd come back here! The workers are sweet as well and there's a Gowanus Community Fridge there too which I thought was pretty great! read more

BEST COFFEE SHOP FOR WORK! Fast WiFi, wall outlets for over half of the tables, excellent coffee and pastries are all you need to get your work done. The owners clearly put a lot of attention to details. Coffee and pastries are fresh and very tasty. You won't find much more beyond that except for some water or juice (There's no kitchen) but it's great. If you can't find a seat when you come in, there is an area below for about 12 people, where they have some board games and books in case you want to have some fun with your children. Speaking of children, although I didn't see any during my visit, I did notice that the bathroom has a little station for changing diapers. This speaks volumes of the focus they have on serving their customers and ensuring a pleasant experience. Since I just had breakfast I could only order a MOCHA ($4.75)... Twice though. It was SO GOOD! My buddy ordered the Flat White ($3.25) and he said it was good. We paid $1 USD for bottles of water, which tells me "This is the minimum we could charge!". Top this with an AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE with BIG SMILES and it made it really hard for us to leave the place, but we had to. Great experience overall, definitely will come back! read more

This place has great coffee. The espresso is so good. And the quaint spot is perfectly nyc. The beans are roasted in Nicaragua so they tell me. Very different than the usual intelligentsia-stumptown-counter culture you see everywhere else. Also great back room for kiddos. Service could be better. read more

I stumbled upon this place last week when I was taking a stroll after leaving NYP. It's a simple and cozy coffee shop. There were a decent amount of people when I went in around 10:30am. They had light music playing in the background. The hot chocolate was perfect and the grilled cheese was delicious. I will definitely be back. read more

Postmark Cafe - Hot chocolate and grilled cheese on an everything bagel - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

A good example of a quality neighborhood coffee shop is Postmark Cafe, situated in the heart of Park Slope. Like many others it is a tiny place, but packed full of great options in both drinks and ambiance. It is a crowded spot most of the time, so unless one is going in for take out, the actual time spent in the joint will really vary. Coffee wise, their offerings are pretty standard for a cafe. From espressos to lattes, they've got a lot of the basic drinks covered. They've got a number non-coffee options as well such as smoothies, hot chocolate, and teas. There is also some limited food like croissants, bagels, baked goods, as well as sandwiches such as grilled cheeses and egg and cheese. They have done a good job in maximizing the space for all sorts of situations. While I'd never recommend for a group outing to this spot, they do have a communal table that can fit up to 6 at a time. Coffee dates and casual meetings aside, I'd reserve this spot for a solo journey and perhaps some quiet time for work. The WiFi is decently fast, but nothing mind blowing here. Decor wise, it is a mix of homey and hipster'y (#1) but comfortable enough to enjoy a casual caffeinated drink. There are a decent number of outlets throughout the place (along the wall, on the legs of the tables) and even outdoor seating to boot. The ventilation is a bit of a challenge with a lack of AC, but they do have ceiling fans and standing fans to get the air flowing. I give the service a thumbs up and the prices are standard for the area. One thing that I appreciate that they do is they donate tips to different non-profit organizations every month. A little nobility and compassion, even from a small coffee shop in Brooklyn can go a long way. __________ (#1) At this point, it's the borough's default option. read more

Visited Postmark Cafe for coffee on Friday morning. A solid choice for an iced coffee, and I place I think will only get better once you can sit down inside again and enjoy your beverage as you read or do some work. Quality: Being new to the area, Postmark Cafe was recommended as a top coffee shop, and after a couple visits it is easy to understand why. The combination of friendly staff and delicious drinks is exactly what you hope for. While I was not crazy about the Latte I tried, the Iced Coffee, my standard, is fantastic. Rich, flavorful, and something I will continue to order even when it is below freezing. They also have some food items, but that will have to wait until we can return inside, sit down and truly enjoy the shop. Quantity: Standard size cups for both hot and cold drinks. Value: $4.00 for a large Iced Coffee. $5.00 for a large Latte. Ambiance: Postmark Cafe is located on the border of Park Slope and Gowanus in Brooklyn. As a result of COVID, they are operating out of a window, but from peering inside, it seems like a cozy space awaits the reopening of indoor dining. They did set up a quaint little outdoor area, which will be nice when the weather warms up, but for now it really is about grab and go. Crowd: Too cold for folks to hang out, but each visit I have a found a small line waiting for coffee. Service: Extremely friendly staff, who truly care about their customers and the neighborhood. Love how they support the Gowanus Community Fridge. Parking: Street parking can be found throughout the area. read more

quiet little coffee shop on a side street in park slope. The staff was attentive and apparently they donate their tips to a new charity every month. I respect that a lot. The place is cool. I didnt realize until later that it has another room to the left of the front counter. I am not a coffee drinker but the green tea was solid. I come to these shops to get some work done and this checked all the boxes. Wifi worked great as well. I would come back. read more

Passed by this charming cafe on my way to a music production session. I told myself I would go afterwards on my way back to Manhattan. The aesthetics and the atmosphere were really great and inviting. They even had outdoor seating and a downstairs area. It really felt like a home and the service was friendly and warm. Great space to chill, work from your laptop or go on a first date. I ordered an iced maple latte with almond milk and light on the ice. It was delicious and reasonably priced. Loved that they had a punch card for every visit. I will definitely be going back to try something else from the menu and perhaps a food item. Cheers! read more

This is probably my favorite cafe in Brooklyn, and also appreciate it for nostalgia since I used to go to the middle school nearby (ages ago!). I come here frequently throughout my school semester, staying for long periods of time doing schoolwork on my laptop. It does get busy for about half an hour periods when the middle school kids come for lunch or after school, but it's not that rowdy and I manage to focus on work nonetheless. The Internet is great and there are outlets around (took me awhile to realize they're on the legs of the table). I always come here for the ice maple lattes, they taste DELISH and I never really find maple lattes made elsewhere. The pesto sandwich is also very good, isn't too expensive, and fills me up despite how small it looks. If you are in the area, definitely stop by! read more

First time in & I would give it another try if in the area. Nice staff and small but quiet interior. Ordered a dirty chai and was surprised at how remarkably sweet it was. Next time I'll be sure to ask about the level of sugar in the mix used. It was hard to taste the coffee! read more

Delicious coffee, and very nice friendly people working here. Just stopped back after moving a little further away, and I really miss this place! I usually go for drip coffee which can be hit or miss other places, but always good here. And they actually give me the amount of milk I asked for which is much appreciated :) read more

The place is a cute hole in the wall. I ordered a large coffee and I was slow in drinking it because I was doing work; I asked if they had a microwave they could re-heat it in and they didn't- which was unfortunate. They had a second room where I sat down to do work, but got up within the hour because it was way too cold in there and they only had a little space heater to heat up the room. Don't think I'll be returning read more

A great place I've infrequently frequented over the 20 years I've lived in Park Slope. I was just asking if they still had the piano downstairs but they didn't know anything about it. I'm sure it's been gone at least ten years. Anyway the coffee is good and the atmosphere is incredible with the door and windows open. And Spotify set on Jazz singers makes me not want to leave. And I see they have a philanthropy aspect to them too! Using the tip money to give to charity is great. Ok it's time to get myself to the pool for my laps. Another mile swim maybe? read more

Really loved this coffee! I didn't stay and sit inside, but the walk up window is so cute and convenient, and the coffee is STRONG. It tastes so good and is cheaper than other options in the area. Also their bagels are SO good - thick and soft on the inside just like they should be! Would absolutely come back to hang out, work, or just pick up a coffee. read more

Came here to get a coffee and read and was able to do so here. It was beautiful out and they had the the front door opened which I loved. Coffee was really good, price was not super inflated, vibe inside was cool and they had tables both outside and inside. I think it was my favorite spot in the neighborhood. read more

Good quality coffee. Vegan Muffins! I had the strawberry ginger and I was a bit skeptical but it was perfect with my cawfee. CHEAP. Checks and chess in the extra room downstairs. Took a date and they loved it. Great vibe. read more

Great place to grab quality coffee and delicious pastries and hang in their cute outdoor space. Workers and owner are warm and friendly. They are community minded and have a fridge for anyone to place fresh food for others in need to take. They do coat drives and other wonderful activities to serve their neighbors. Doesn't get better than this! Proud to be a part of this neighborhood knowing their are places/business owners like these. read more

Amazing little cafe with a cause in Park slope. The coffee is delicious and they get their pastries from Colson's (drool). They also have a cute little outdoor area. What really sets this cafe apart from other hood Brooklyn coffee shops is what they do for the community. Since covid, they created an area outside for a community fridge where you can drop off food/essentials. read more

Wonderful neighborhood cafe! The coffee is delicious and affordable and everyone who works here is kind, personable, and community-oriented. The space is conducive for laptop working or having a conversation, indoors or outdoors. They also have a community fridge outside. read more

i came here to escape the rain and also use the bathroom lol. while the overall feel of the cafe is great I do have to say that the overall selection of items could use some work and that the friendliness of the barista could be better but I also think it was busier than she'd hoped so maybe that's the excuse? I ordered the white hot chocolate and the egg and cheese with Canadian bacon (against my better judgement. a personal mistake on my part. I don't enjoy pork, I assumed it could be turkey ) but I enjoyed the sandwich. It was okay. Maybe it's due to her rushing for the quality. and the white hot chocolate was a great surprise treat for myself cause it tastes just like a white choclate candy bar. It's much too quiet I felt so rude speaking anything above a whisper but it's a great spot nonetheless if you're into these types of cafes read more
