I genuinely love this place, the baristas are always super friendly with us, the first time I came in here I didn't really know what to order, both of the baristas were super nice and fully engaging when I asked them a few questions about the menu, I even got a tiny sample of the coffee, which I know not many coffee shops would even bother to do!! it's been such a welcoming and cozy place ever since I first came in!! 10\10 this place should be your usual spot !! read more

A hidden gem, and I hope it stays that way! I was surprised to see that there were still seats available on rainy day around finals season. Of course they've got coffee, but that's not the star here. They donate their tips to charity, have open and free wifi and they have two floors. On top of all that, the place feels very homey and they have a lot of comfortable seating all around. read more

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

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

My friend and I came on a Friday afternoon and were the only ones here. We appreciated that it wasn't one of the many cafes in the area that closes at 7pm. In fact, on Fridays, it closes at 10pm. Go for the oatmeal cookies. They're scrumptious. $1.75 for a medium tea. Served in a mug. The place is otherwise nice and homey - there's a shower in the bathroom - and postcards from people's travels are on one way. Additional seating downstairs. Lots of seating options: comfy chairs, lounge chairs, and regular table-chairs. read more

It's a funky basement type coffee shop that doesn't prioritize excellent beans or barista skills. The cappuccinos are mostly milk. The staff is nice but the service is slovenly. Oddly all the bright colors don't help the somewhat depressing vibe of the place. Lots of folks call it homey but it just kind of seems dirty to me. The outdoor seating is a highlight. The computer crowd seems to love it. read more

Absolutely LOVE this neighborhood coffee shop! The entire staff is friendly and welcoming. The space is warm and cozy. And the coffee is ALWAYS delicious! A true local gem! read more

Such a cozy, friendly neighborhood cafe - I've been looking for the perfect place to relax and work on weekends and I think this is it. The cafe space itself really stands out, with a variety of little tables and barstools for working, a sofa for chatting with friends, outdoor seating so you can share coffee with Fido, and even an additional seating room with toys and books for kids. There's a comfy spot for everyone. The entire front wall of the cafe opens up, so the atmosphere is incredible on a sunny summer day, with a breeze blowing in from the quiet street. The coffee was pretty good, pleasantly tangy. They have super thick mugs that keep your drink nice and hot for ages. Postmark isn't the place to go for a full meal, but they do have pastries, bagels, and sandwiches, which is fine for a light breakfast or study snack. read more

I think this is one of the hidden gems of Park Slope -- I frequent coffee shops to study and do work all the time and I have to say this is probably one of the most pleasant ones to work out of. When I say "hidden" -- like really, hidden. It's off to the side of 6th street so it could be easily missed. (The entrance is on the side of the building down 6th street) The inside has a very "homey" feel, warm, plenty of seats to choose from -- whether you like to sit on a bench top with stools, standard tables, benches, or sofas with a coffee table. The staff here was very friendly as well. read more

Nice chill and cozy on a rainy day. It's quiet and the people are very focused on working, chatting quietly and minding their own business. It's a good place to write too. Small space though so if it's crowded, you won't find a seat to settle in. read more

I am so glad to see Postmark making it work! They continue to deliver excellent service and great coffee.

How is this place NOT open on Sundays? It's cute, cozy, and has a small nook with board games (most are junior versions for kids), a wooden chess/checkers set, and random children's books. Great way to spend a random afternoon. ....Though it gets loud around the time school lets out - fills up with hip looking kids in colored skinny jeans & iphones comparing how many "likes" they get on their FB statuses. read more

I really enjoy this place. The atmosphere is relaxed, and you can pretty much make yourself at home in this cozy two-layered cafe. There's eclectic, comfy furniture and plenty of outlets so you can get work done with their free wifi, or just read a book. Personally, I wouldn't mind camping out all day here! Coffee/tea is on the cheaper side, and they do accept cards. They also have bagels and some pastries in case you're hungry. Staff are friendly and have a laid back, yet professional attitude. They definitely care that their customers are comfortable in the space and are open to customer feedback Overall, I love it here. A nice little getaway. read more

Postmark Cafe - Maple latte, hipster aesthetic. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I love Postmark Cafe and simply cannot shut up about it. Overall, I think Postmark Cafe is a great, fun spot. Every single thing was very flavorful and tasty. The staff was very courteous and service is terrific. I'll go there again for sure. read more

Solid little neighborhood cafe in Park Slope. Friendly staff, indoor and outdoor seating, standard menu of food and drink options, and free wifi. If you're in the area and need a quiet and cosy place to have a cup of coffee and get some work done, this is definitely worth checking out. Plus the egg and cheese croissant is pretty scrumptious :) I'm a total sucker for a warm, buttery croissandwich, and this place has got that on lock. Yummm! read more

Yummy iced late, egg-tomato-browned cheese breakfast sandwich, WiFi, outlets, plenty of comfy seating - couldn't ask for more out of a Saturday morning café to get a bit of work done! Thanks also to the friendly staff & opportunity to support a great charity - I highly recommend! read more

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

I walked into this café the first time on a cold winter day and became one of the frequent visitors. It is warm, cozy, quiet and comfortable, not something you normally find in the big Apple. Plus they donate their tips to charity, there is no reason not to come back again and again and again. It is a perfect place to read and study. I could totally spend the whole afternoon here. Price is reasonable too. This is my type of café. read more

This place is the definition of cozy. Super cute, quirky cafe with lots of original art. Lovely place to wake up in the morning, get work done, or chat. AND they donate tips to nonprofits and charities! read more

I love the look and feel of this tiny place. It's like you walked into a friends' kitchen and said, "Oh, wow, you'll make me a latte? That rocks!" and then they make you a latte and it is really good. So, yeah friends, I'll keep coming back, and I sure hope they will keep making me lattes while I hang out in the living room. read more

Incredibly warm community vibes here from the staff and customers. Often see folks working on homework, tutors tutoring, neighbors catching up. Great coffee in an unpretentious scene. read more

love love love! great dirty chai! affordable and cute outside seating area best coffee place in park slope in my opinion!!

Local coffee house, decent coffee and nice ambience for working on a laptop. All tips go to a monthly-selected charity, so it's nice you don't feel like it's a popularity contest as with most tips. The gluten-free brownies and lemon cake are tasty, don't know where they get them. Also they have a loyalty punchcard, it's a small thing but definitely sways me to go there rather than down the block. Oh, and there's an old phone booth inside that I saw someone FaceTiming in once, you don't see that everywhere! read more

An ideal little community perch with perks. We popped in for an hour or so on a bright Monday morning, and plunked ourselves at the window shelf to get a quick few things done while our apartment lacked internet. A bagel + cream cheese and a dirty chai ran me approximately $6, plus $1 tip for the kind barrista. *It's not TOO comfortable, which doesn't facilitate long bouts making sweet virtual love to your laptop. You won't want to, the chairs are hard and the tables a tad wobbly. This isn't necessarily a bad thing because the space is small, and laptop warblers are a dime a dozen. Move along with your battery life! *Midweek lunch hour brings in droves of preteens clamoring for smoothies, soups and sandwiches. For approximately 30-40 minutes, the place is overrun with the distinct air of awkward teenagers, counting of dollar bills and change, and an underlying sense of "ah, remember when...?" I suggest moving your operation before the hurricane of hormones rushes the place. FWIW, the staff deals with them quite nicely. In fact, I do not begrudge this rush at all, as they collectively probably spend more money than all of the adults combined, all day...nursing one latte for 4 hours of wifi. Uh-huh. Can you tell I'm a tad fed up with "coffee squatters?" A good option for a cuppa joe, light bite and to sit for a bit in a pretty chill setting. Great for meeting a friend, as people are in and out and it's not "too quiet" to feel like you can converse at appropriate levels. Not necessarily the best place in Park Slope to park for hours on end to work, but then again....where is? I need to design a space that fits this need and still drives profits. If you can think of any ideas, do let me know! For now though, Postmark will certainly be on my coffee route in the Slope. Minus lunchtime. Send it in. read more

In so many Yelping words, I've posited myself as a person full of pride when it comes to "having heart." Here's my chance to put my money where my mouth is. New York and Brooklyn are becoming increasingly inundated with deprived coffee snobs...immigrants from greater coffee cities that demand more than "coffee regular" or "coffee black." Postmark Cafe is not the new arrival that will convert this New York coffee culture from stumptown-abstaining Vestal Virgins into Pseudo-Bohemian Blue Bottle Addicts. And perhaps this is just why I love it. You see, Postmark isn't part of a fleeting trend...the "hipsterfy" everything from Ice Cream to Toothpicks generation of multifarious 20-somethings new breed capitalists. On the contrary, it's not a coffee shop for New Yorkers either...a safe house where degenerative attitudes roam freely like an airborne pandemic viruses. In this sense, it's not Liberal, nor Conservative...not Black or White...not Lennon or McCartney. It just is. A better message to give the world I cannot think of. Just be...make no excuse for yourself and do not glaze over the obvious battle with your struggles and insecurities, but instead find love in other s and the simple transaction of a coffee and a smile without stardom for stardom is out of it's mind in 2010 with everyone obsessing over it. The owner, Brad is a genuinely nice individual with (there's that word again) HEART. He gets by because he cares about every customer that walks through the door and supports him. There's no agenda in his daily routine. There's only his life and your life as the customer...and the societal relationship that goes unspoken in this scenario. Sadly, I find the acceptance of this realization or even the acknowledgement of this realization fading from view in our society. Postmark has good coffee. Not being a coffee snob or even someone that has arrived at a deep appreciation of the subtle nuances of the world of coffee, perhaps I am able to take a more objective view of the coffee, but I'm a person that is constantly thinking and remaining open minded. So if it's not the coffee's molecular composition or the subtle artistry that garners my attention just yet, you can bet I'm paying attention to other aspects of this establishment. And let me tell you, Postmark is on the mark. Dollar bagels...$1.50 with Cream Cheese. Daily deals like 'add brownie to any coffee drink for $1 x-tra'. Extensive Teas and Italian Soda flavors. Wonderful smoothies. I don't have to tell you what Baby Steps (Postmark Cafe) has done to me...I'm walking (reviewing) proof of that... But it's the "compassion of the man...it's the horse-sense that gets ya" Baby Steps to Postmark Cafe! Dr. Marvin. Bob. read more

A simple, inexpensive coffee shop where anyone is welcome to come hang out and enjoy the wi fi for free. The bakery goods are actually pretty tasty considering that they aren't baked on the premises and they'll always make whatever drink you order, whether or not it's on the menu. (I've walked in many an evening and told them "I don't know what I want- just make me something yummy") Not sure where the poster below gets her "facts"- the coffee shop is managed and staffed by members/friends of Church! of Park Slope, not The Orchard Group; and no one in the cafe tries to "hide" the fact that it's run by a church. (Maybe she is scared that they secretly brew the coffee with holy water!) The most "religious" activity that goes on at this establishment seems to be the staff's willingness to donate their tips to buy livestock for Heifer international or to build wells in drought-prone areas of Africa. I wish other businesses in the area would donate a portion of their profits to charitable causes. (And for the record, I'm a queer, atheist, pro-choice liberal and everyone at this shop has embraced me and my viewpoints without preaching or evangelizing. I can't say I've ever encountered such open-minded, liberal christians anywhere. ) read more

I must be getting old. Since when did gaggles of preteens start frequenting coffee shops and drinking coffee?! I was trying to get some work done at this coffee shop one midday and a ton of Junior high school students flock in and disrupted my entire work flow. Oh well. I guess they were glad to have there business. This is a cute out of the way coffee shop with free wi-fi. Outside of the midday rush of teens this is great place for coffee, a snack, reading a book, or catching up on work. read more

This is the place you are in the mood for I guarantee it. Super laid back coffee spot in the park slope area with a cozy homey feel. Grab a cup of coffee and sink into there couch. This is a great place to hang out and enjoy. I ordered an americano which was enjoyable but nothing special. This place stands out because of the friendly service and chill environment. If your looking to just grab a quick cup of caffeine and be on your way I would point you else ware, but if you have a couple of minutes to enjoy life you found the right place. Wifi is free and easily accessible which is a huge plus in my book. read more

Awesome little cafe in Park Slope. Small, but decent amount of seating. Lots of laptops, so get there early if that's what you want to do. Coffee is good and snack items are very well priced. Probably the best value in the area. And all tips go to a different charity every month! read more

The best description I can think for Postmark Cafe is if somehow the campus coffee shop of an upscale university snuck into Park Slope. There's the requisite: Pretty meh coffee/tea inexpertly but painstakingly concocted by the youngish baristas Enormous supporting cast of snacks like pizza bagels and cookies Some fun games like trivial pursuit and a few shelves of misfit books Comfy furniture where you can lounge and enjoy the free wifi Overall, not a bad place to crash for an hour with a friend. read more

I love love love this place, welcome to Postmark Cafe in Park Slope. This is my number 1 place to work when I don't have time to go into the city.

Neighborhood: Postmark Cafe, Park Slope Price: Low Wifi: Free Seating: Bar stool, communal table, tables, downstairs 'cave' , couches, outdoor/street tables Food: Muffins, bagels, pizza bagels, cookies Healthy Options: Yogurt Payment: Cash only Power sources: Yes Trains: R, F, G Instapportunity: 5th Ave Walk up to Prospect Park Great for: Working read more

Get a coffee and give back to the community? That's how Postmark cafe works. 100% of tips go to a monthly selected charity. I came in for the first time because they provided the space for a friend's non-profit to host a fundraising event to kick off their month of sponsorship. Wonderful community vibe, great coffee and free-wi. Definitely worth visiting and I will be back soon. read more

Adorable! I fell in love with Postmark cafe simply by peeking in through the window. I couldn't help myself from strolling in for a soy latte & chocolate chip cookie. Small, but a good amount of eclectic seating choices... including an extra room with games and (fortunately for me, unoccupied) child toys. The coffee and espresso is actually pretty cheap compared to other local coffee shops in the area. read more

This is a happy place with Wifi, outlets, couches, chess tables, good baristas and locally roasted coffee. And a bathroom (I actually have to specify this, because New York). And Bhakti Chai (from Colorado) YAY. It has all that I can ask of a cafe! :) read more

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

I think their coffee is terrific and the vibe there is friendly and warm. However, there's one girl who works there who's a total B-word! This icy broad had the balls to give me a 'tude after I asked for a case to hold 3 coffees in. Um ... I'm not afraid to dust off my dexterous, cabana-boy skills but why should I have to because some chick doesn't want to do her job? N.B. that this joint is POPPIN' around 11:00 - 12:30 when all these kids from the nearby school shitstorm the place. It's a veritable Park Slope Tween Freakout! Long lines and lotsa braces. Also, inexplicably, this place is closed on Sundays. Um ... Someone alert the Postmarker General that people also like to get their java on over the weekend. read more

I absolutely love this place!! Coffee is great & the free wifi is great!! Pros: free wifi, great food, nice seating, service Cons: none I come here for lunch sometimes and I love working on my laptop here!! read more

This place is just swell. Everyone is really friendly, staff and other patrons. There's a good mix of people. I've gone here in the evenings for live music when a friend's band was playing. It's a great set-up for small shows. They set up rows of chairs facing the stage area and there's a couch or two off to the side. Very low-key and comfortable. A small coffee or tea is $1-ish, which is kind of unheard of for most brick and mortar stores. This is a nice spot to hang out with friends (or make some new ones) and not break the bank doing so. read more

Fantastic, amazing, THE coffee. The space is great for people who come in alone and want to get some work or reading done. I came with a gf and we did not feel comfortable talking as it was so so quiet. No one was talking. At all. My new fav place to grab coffee to go. read more

As a newly unemployed 20-something looking for work and terrified of the insane price of my energy bill after sitting at home all day in 90+-degree heat with the AC running all day, I decided to venture to a local coffee shop to enjoy their AC and free WiFi. Postmark was air-conditioned (not an icebox, but cool enough!) and had a decent amount of plugs/outlets. It's not a huge place, probably about 10 tables all together, but it also wasn't super crowded while I was there. I stayed for a couple of hours and never felt pressured to leave. The iced coffee I had was standard...nothing life-changing, but pretty good. I also had a bagel and cream cheese which was only $1.50! So, with a large iced coffee and bagel/CC, my total was $4.50 and I gave the $0.50 to the tip jar which goes to charity. Also, the place had AWESOME music. I arrived realizing I left my earphones at home and was worried I wouldn't be able to work there without distraction, but the music was so good I was glad I didn't bring my earphones. As some have described, it does have the college vibe going on, which definitely was helped by the Pavement, Modest Mouse, Built to Spill, soundtrack along with some older and new bands. Altogether, it's a great place! I will definitely be back! read more

Great atmosphere very friendly service nice interior and great coffee. Easy to spend an hour sipping coffee and people watching or just relaxing. Love this place! read more

Currently at Postmark Cafe and taking a break from my studies, I decided to write a review for Postmark Cafe. For someone who is studying or needs to get work done, this is a great place to come and get things done for a few hours. Plenty of table space and very open feel to the cafe so you won't feel cramped at all. I've only been to Manhattan cafes, which were small, dim litted, loud music, and you can hardly get a seat. Came in around 10 am and there were plenty of space with some people already parked with their macs working away. The price for coffee is decently priced and pretty good. During my "stay" here, I got a cafe au lait (pretty good for the price), jasmine tea (free 1 refill of water), and this carrot oat muffin (yum). There is soft music playing in the background, people are mindful of each other and keep their voices down, the staff was always helpful and friendly. For the macs and laptops cafe go-ers out there, this place has plenty of outlets! read more

Everything about this place is warm, cozy, and adorable. Also, the tips go to charity. Can't go wrong with caffeine, comfort, and generosity. read more
