Cosy neighborhood coffee shop with attentive barista. We stopped in on a rainy Sunday while waiting for our reservation at the red hook tavern. I had a cortado made to perfection and a my fiance ordered a vanilla cappuccino that he felt was well balanced. They offer fresh breads, sandwiches and pastries as well. It's certainly a neighborhood gem and worth stopping by. read more

Came here and got a quiche which I honestly found pretty bland but the crust was good. I also ordered an iced pineapple green tea which was fine but nothing special. The staff was really nice and the place is cool, quite a few people working and a cute back porch. read more

Sweet little cafe I stopped at on the way to IKEA. Admittedly, Red Hook is still not that built-up of a neighborhood, but this is one of the cuter spots, and it's got a deliciously refreshing hibiscus peace black tea (their seasonal special) and a gorgeous backyard to relax in. Great indoor seating too and very nice staff. read more

Cute coffee shop with lots of character! The cappuccino was one of the best I've had in a while. A perfect crema on top! The spinach and broccoli quiche was great too. A perfect bite before exploring all the other wonderful shops and eateries in the Red Hook neighborhood. I'd imagine the back patio is wonderful in the spring and summertime! Looked to be a mix of locals and visitors. read more

What an amazing hidden gem in Red Hook! Fantastic all around--they embody a full 5 stars. I was on the hunt for a solid breakfast spot to help cater a film set I was coordinating while also supporting a local business and could not have been happier to have landed here. Jonell is the absolute best and helped me put together my order. They have 96oz coffee carafes (~$30) filled to the brim with their hot drip coffee. Jonell was so kind and provided a selection of milks, sugar/sweeteners, and stirrers for a minimal additional fee. The coffee was phenomenal! Such amazing depth of flavor and great value. There were no leftovers there!! They also have a selection of yummy pastries (including some that are Gluten Free!), of which I tried many. My favorites were the cheese danishes and gluten free lemon loaf--so delicious and not too sweet. Service was consistently kind, professional, and welcoming. The ambience is lovely, chill, and quiet. It's one of those places that you immediately feel good vibes when you walk through the door. If you're in the Red Hook area, I highly recommend you check this spot out! I'll be back 100%. read more

Super cute cafe with some delicious drinks. The service overall was super friendly, and there were quite a few tables inside and out - people chatting over coffee, reading, working on laptops.. overall, it seemed like an established neighborhood spot. Would return next time I'd like my caffeine fix in the area! read more

The Black Flamingo - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I took a walk here to grab some coffee after running a few errands in the area & a quick Google search. This place is really a hidden gem because I've frequented this area numerous times and can actually say that I've never noticed it. I visited on a weekday during the morning & it was fairly empty. There were a few people working on their laptops or conversing with one another. For the most part, it was fairly quiet. I ordered an iced coffee & a bacon & egg quiche. I intended to just get a coffee & leave but I couldn't leave without trying the quiche because it looked entirely too good to pass on & I have to say that it was delicious! It was my first time having quiche & I was definitely not disappointed. read more

Nice people, delicious latte and comfortable seating. They tolerated my request for a paper cup. Thank you!

I wonder how many collective hours of my life I've spent here? I love Red Hook deeply, and some of my favorite days living in New York have started here. Two different types of roasts of espresso (light or dark), plenty of seating, and usually a copy or two of the Times to share with neighbors. They also have a bunch of pastries and sandwiches, and really good freshly squeezed orange juice. read more

I did a quick search for cafes in red hook because I don't trek there often (note: at all)) I was going to red hook lobster pound and wanted a place afterward to wait out the rain and to do some work. Luckily, black flamingo is only 1 minute walk away across the street Decor wise, I wouldn't have been surprised if it was a former speakeasy bar. It looks from the outside and the photos inside remind me of 1910s-1920s. But unlike those times, this place has wifi available inside and in their garden (I didn't go because #rain) but it looked cool through the window Menu wise, they have all the expected options for coffee (espresso, latte, etc.). But I appreciated that on their board they listed the tea options they had which was more than 4. I took a London fog because it is my go to. It was decent and they also had different types of sweeteners for me to use. They had some pastries on display including sandwiches from court street grocers and quiches. But I was pleased by the fact that since they had some pastries left over, they asked if we wanted any to take home for free (since it was close to closing at 4pm). I gladly took a croissant home. The cafe is right in front of the B61 bus stop to downtown Brooklyn so if you need the bus and is taking a while, this could be a place to wait read more

Cute spot with delicious coffee. Iced coffees usually taste watered down, but not here. The iced latte I ordered was strong and flavorful. The service was also great; I asked for recommendations in the neighborhood, and they provided an entire book of great local spots. Will be returning! read more

I really enjoyed coming to this nice little place. The coffee is smooth and enjoyable and the service is speedy and attentive. If the weather is nice, try sitting out on the patio. There you will enjoy warm morning sun, fresh air and chipping birds. The Black Flamingo is the perfect place to start your morning in Red Hook. read more

Red hook has a few nice spots to hit if you're ever on Van Brunt and the Black Flamingo falls into that category. Cute little cafe, pretty small but enough tables for you to drink a brew, work or just relax. We sat in the adorable little patio in the back. Drinks: iced almond milk latte was okay - wife said nothing amazing but good. Almond milk cortado was on point. I got it with the medium roast. Like how they offer the selection of medium or dark. Overall drink was smooth and hit the spot. Food: ordered the cheddar chive jalapeño scone/ biscuit and it was fantastic. More of a biscuit than a scone but despite me not knowing how to name it, I can say it was yummy. Loved the heat from the jalapeño and the creaminess from the cheddar. Overall I liked this place and would go back. The staff was very friendly and the patio is worth hanging out in. read more

I love this place. They have the best employees and the coffee is the best in the neighborhood. It can get quite crowded especially when a cruise ship comes in, but otherwise it's a charming place to visit. read more

Easily one of the cutest coffee shops in NYC, it's like a coffee shop you'd find in a movie set, or TV sitcom, stylish, excellent pastries and small bites, super stylish crowd too. I'm 35 minutes away in Manhattan, but we don't have any shops as cute as this one in my neighborhood. read more

Such a cute coffee shop with delicious pastries and grab and go sandwiches. We got the ham and brie and it was sooooo good. I'm craving it. Good proportions on cheese and ham. They also have a nice outdoor patio where pups are allowed, and a comfy bench along the wall inside with cafe tables. The baristas were also very friendly and welcoming! read more

Pretty good drip. But man there's something in the water with the staff here. High turnover based on 3 visits in the past couple of months, but also just the staff seems grumpy and confused and resentful... of, who knows? Covid is rough on all, and a mask hides a smile, so maybe we (I) shouldn't be as critical of customer service as I was in the younger days. .. read more

Gorgeous cafe in the heart of Redhook. Their oat milk lattes are dreamy, and the black flamingo takes serious pride in their craft. You can choose your preferred roast and the coffee quality is overall outstanding. the atmosphere is very cozy and laid back. There are a lot of small tables for getting work done; a very cool vibe. Also a nice selection of yummy baked goods and small sandwiches. Excellent coffee option if you're in the area. they also recently added matcha to their menu if you fancy that! --As of 4/24/20, they are open for take out from 8 am-1 pm daily! read more

An absolute gem! Excellent coffee, delicious baked goods and a really darling garden (with heat lamps!) NY Times to share as well.

My favorite coffee shop in Red Hook. Not very usual coffee shop, besides regular cookies and croissants you can also have some gazpacho here and delicious pies baked in-house daily. The atmosphere is very calm and good for work. And I love the garden. read more

Cute interior, and it's great that they have gluten-free scones, but that's where my positive experiences ended. As others have noted, the service is indifferent, and the espresso drinks are terrible. Subtracting an additional star for the $8 card minimum. read more

Very cute and cozy shop, I came in and instantly felt the warm energy from this cute little cafe. I ordered a Jasmine tea with a salami & cheese sandwich, and it is worth it. You can dine in which is perfect, and you get a cute antique tea pot that comes with your tea order as well.

An imperfect coffee shop (orig. I had 3 stars) but a cool place to spend some time, get decent coffee and ok food. I'd give them more business if they had a phone number #covidtimes. read more

I was in Red Hook for work and needed a place with wifi and caffeine, I yelped local coffee shops with wifi near me (I'm not very familiar with Red Hook) and this came up like 0.3 miles away from where I was so I decided to give it a try and I'm happy I did! After finding a parking spot I headed inside to get some work done. It's a very small narrow space inside, very cozy, however if the weather is nice, which it was, there's an awesome patio out back that also has wifi, that's where I sat. I ordered a large iced latte which I believe was $5 and a yogurt parfait because they have a credit card minimum of $8 and I didn't have cash on me. Anyway, it was all delicious and the barista was super chill. I would definitely go back should I find myself in the neighborhood again. read more

Love this place! Staff was great and nice. Came here to work and get out of the home for some different scenery. Wifi here is good and the dark roast coffee is the best.
