    a woman sitting at a table in a coffee shop
    Kaya E.

    Sit & Wonder is located right on Washington ave near the Brooklyn museum. The coffee shop felt very homey once I entered and was instantly greeted. I ordered a small coffee (wish it was a bit hotter, especially since it was such a cold day) and found a spot to do some work inside. There were lots of plugs and I liked that the seats are high to the countertop. There's beautiful art all throughout the cafe including the bathroom. Check it out the next time you're in crown heights!

    Muffaletta (vegan)... It's far better than you could ever imagine
    Ayanna F.

    It's a cruel joke to promise a muffaletta to a girl missing NOLA, only to turn around and serve a VEGAN VERSION that's SO GOOD that it's making me sit in this cafe and question my life choices. Clearly I've done something right if life brought me on the path to stumble upon this little gem. And it was only $8. At first I questioned if I should take it home and add meat to it. But NAY! Such perfection should not be tampered with. This sandwich tastes like what one would expect from a chef who worked in a Michelin star restaurant and then decided to rage against the machine and serve affordable food that has no business being this good... A la The Bear. This food tastes like God created it on the 7th day because he wanted a Heavenly snack to enjoy while he appreciated his creations. This food tastes like the hidden treasure at the end of an epic hero's quest. I apologize for ever doubting you, Sit and Wonder. I am no longer that same woman who wandered in, foolishly seeking what would doubtfully have been a lesser experience. Light and love

    Covered back garden

    Such a cute and cozy spot to sit and have a hot drink, meet a friend, read, etc. Delicious coffee and pastries, excellent service and the house made almond milk is a must try -- super creamy and smooth! If you like sweet drinks, go for the maple latte which has a delicious house made maple mix + the house made almond milk! Seating on the street or in their back garden. Alanna is an absolute gem who makes Sit & Wonder extra warm and welcoming. Love this spot!

    Mocha

    Really delicious mocha at Sit&Wonder. Inside space has minimal seating, but the backyard is delightful if it's not too chilly. They make a really lovely mocha that's not too sweet (and of course the lovely latte art). I've been once before nearly a decade ago and it's only gotten better. Side note - the hours have changed. They're only open until 3/4p depending on the day.

    Really a place to...well sit & wonder! Come here to catch up with a friend or alone with a book or just your thoughts, it'll be a good time. Came here on a very rainy and gloomy Sunday morn. No indoor seating as of now but they have a small covered outdoor backyard with 2-3 small tables and a larger table in the middle, so I snagged a smaller one with two friends. The folks working behind the counter were friendly and chill, making the experience a pretty relaxed affair (as coffeeshop lounging should be). Pretty standard menu featuring your usual espresso drinks + some specialty lattes including the maple and almond latte. And bonus: they make their own almond milk! They have a few breakfast sandwiches and fresh baked pastries on their menu (muffins, croissants, pain au chocolate, etc). I tried the chocolate croissant and it was tasty & fresh. The menu and bev items are all pretty standard in variety and taste but this little coffeeshop is there for you to offer a little escape when you need it.

    This was the second time I've been to Sit & Wonder, and just like my first time, my experience was great! I first stumbled on this coffee shop on my way back from a dentist appointment. I was looking for a cute place to quickly grab a cup of coffee before I headed back to work. The inside of the coffee shop is super cute and cozy. There isn't a ton of indoor seating, but I've never had too much of an issue finding a seat. The staff is friendly and quick to make orders. When I came in with friends they noticed us starting to sit down and asked if we wanted our drinks in mugs instead of paper cups - which was so nice of them! The cafe also has a very cute backyard area. It being winter right now, I didn't want to sit outside, but I can't wait to come back in the summer and try out the back patio area! Also prices for coffee are pretty good here. My oat cappuccino was $4.50 before tip and had I gotten regular milk I believe it would be been $4

    Cute and spacious place. Nice and informative staff. Had a cafe latte with almond milk. Almond milk tasted burnt. I guess they need to change their almond milk.

    Stumptown latte
    Joi B.

    I first tried Stumptown Coffee when I was in Seattle and was pretty impressed. It seems, however, that although I heard rumour about two years ago that this or that coffee shop carried Stumptown, it wasn't that easy to find, though I could be wrong. Then, I move out of New York and came back to find that it's been distributed fairly well to coffee shops and even restaurants. You'd think it's not so special anymore, but screw that! Them folks know how to roast a bean. That said, even when you start with the right beans, you're not necessarily going to have a cup of the same quality as you will find at a Stumptown coffee house. I'm happy to report that at Sit and Wonder, you do! The baristas prepare each cup with care and the result is a perfectly smooth latté. I normally don't order lattés, but when trying a place for the first time, I find that it's a good test and less of a risk than my usual Americano. Besides the coffee, Sit & Wonder has the perfect environment to...you guessed it...sit & wonder, or sip & wonder, or sit & sip, or sip & read or sip & be on your laptop (plenty of outlets, too). Or be on your lap top & wonder. Wow, the possibilities sure are endless with a good cup of coffee and a decent place to sit, aren't they? Delish scones, too. And holyfuckomg lemon ginger muffins.

    So simple but yet it added a smile to my face!

    Had a perfect macchiato here. Loved the back patio/outdoor area. Stumptown beans. Definitely a winner.

    Radio Bakery... is perfection. I completely understand the line…read more I first ordered the heirloom tomato & feta sandwich, which was unbelievable. It is so clear that they use incredibly high-quality ingredients and carefully curate each component, which is exactly why everything comes together in such an elevated way. The tomatoes reminded me of the ones I grew in my garden during California summers as a teenager. Perfectly salted, layered over soft, not-too-tart feta. The focaccia was made with beautiful olive oil and, while a bit chewier than I usually prefer, gave the sandwich a satisfying bite. I had to close my eyes while eating it just to savor it. The chocolate cherry almond croissant... wow. Such a creative combination, and it did not disappoint. Soft, buttery, and filled with a sour cherry compote that reminded me of a cherry cordial from a box of chocolates. 5/5. Hainsley, who helped me, was exceptionally lovely. Everyone even in line was very nice, the vibes were awesome. I'll definitely be back to try the spicy tofu sandwich and the heirloom tomato tart!

    Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon and noticed the line was surprisingly short, so we decided to…read morehop in. We only waited about 10 minutes before it was our turn to order. While they didn't have their full selection available, there were still plenty of pastries to choose from. We ended up getting the vanilla kouign amann and the chocolate PB&J croissant. The kouign amann was flaky, buttery, and beautifully caramelized. The chocolate PB&J croissant was easily our favorite. It was filled with rich, decadent chocolate and a layer of jelly that balanced everything out without making it overly sweet. My significant other hasn't stopped talking about it since! We're already looking forward to coming back to try more.
