    This little sweet cafe took my breath away. Intimate, cozy, hidden gem, a delight, warm -- all these words fit. My daughter had spotted this cafe previously and brought me here on my recent Brooklyn visit. We brought melancholy vibes with us on a cold, cloudy day but this sweet little cafe helped smooth the way to rest of our day. We shared a salmon crepe and poppyseed muffin. I had a creamy London Fog tea. All were delicious! We managed to snag a tiny table, and were served by an efficient server. Only a few tables and a tight fit, but you feel like you have escaped to a secret hideaway. Definitely on my list to visit again when I am next in Brooklyn.

    I've frequented coffee shops all over the world; my favorite to date was Alelier September in Copenhagen,Denmark. Today in Downtown Brooklyn I had coffee at The Little Sweet Shop and it was as good as Alelier or maybe a tiny bit better? My coffee latte was about as perfect as any latte I've ever had. And their assortments of bakery goods was excellent. I don't know the name of the pastry we bought, but it went perfectly with our coffee. The girls working here were the hardest workers I've witnessed. As jammed packed as this cafe was, these two foot soldiers got everyone served and happy in record time. I will definitely come back to this unique shop!

    I loved the decor and vibe of this cafe. The crepe was delicious, just a little pricey. Service was courteous and didn't take long at all! The pumpkin spice chai is delightful, also heavier on the milk than the pumpkin. What a treat.

    Food/drinks: first time trying shakshuka! Hearty and light Atmosphere: very tiny but soo cute & unassuming from outside Service: okay, kinda rude but they were busy! Price: $$ pricey

    Such a cute and aesthetic spot! I love how the cafe is tucked away among vining leaves and the cozy decor. It is a very small and tight space, though, so it can be hard to find seating. There is also a 45-minute period to eat and leave, and a no computer policy. The brunch menu is somewhat small and definitely pricey for what you get. I tried the savory roasted chicken crepe ($23), which had chicken, goat cheese, and spinach. The chicken was dry and not super flavorful, though the goat cheese added a lot! I also unfortunately didn't taste the Persian saffron. I did really enjoy the crepe wrap, which was flavorful. I was a bit hungry after finishing the crepe. The service was friendly and fast. There's a water dispenser which is self-serve, and you order at the counter / take a number placard back to your seat. I would come back in the future to get a coffee and catch up with a friend in a lovely ambient space, but wouldn't necessarily come for the food.

    wow this place was such a cute cafe and the food was really good!! got the roasted chicken sandwich and sweet lemon crepe. the chicken sandwich was soooo good!! the chicken was so tender and flavorful and had a hint of saffron. the crepe was also a great balance of lemon and sweet!!! super yum and a very cute cafe, esp in the summer!! quite small though and popular on weekends but for a good reason!

    Menu

    Menu on this website out of date. Note price increases. Okay sandwich. A bit expensive. Cute spot.

    I took my fellow Yelpers advice and skipped the chain coffee to try "The Little Sweet Cafe," and boy am I glad that I did. The Crepe was one of the best if not the best crepe I've ever had. It was perfect. The Cappuccino was excellent as well. The staff was very friendly and very efficient. The place is tiny but I sat outside which was really cool. Highly recommend this spot!

    People have left some odd reviews of this place, including a one-star review for the restaurant…read moreapparently being highly politicized--a vibe I neither felt nor could visually identify within or without the establishment. I ordered a single burger and a Sudan spiced peanut butter latte, for ~$15! That's pretty inexpensive for New York City. I note this as some consider it overpriced. I suppose the food is fairly inexpensive, the lattes slightly higher than average. The "burger" comes wrapped in a homemade pita with diced cucumber, onion, and tomato, plus a few crispy, thick-cut fries and a yummy house sauce. It was a cool twist of the traditional burger and had a nice flavor. The sauce was like a slightly Mediterranean version of Big Mac sauce. The girl working as the barista and cashier was very nice and friendly. She had a nice presence and warm smile, made suggestions, and even gave a stranger free utensils when they popped on to ask. I think it's definitely worth checking out, and it's a good place for a cheap & simple meal that's still quirky and fun.

    I have wanted to try this spot for some time, and wound up a bit disappointed with what I tried…read more They feature a tahini cold brew, which features two things I love dearly, but instead of a rich cold brew it was overly sweet and icy--more like a slushie. Perhaps I should have anticipated that, or my mistake in ordering. I also ordered a Moroccan egg salad sandwich which was substantive but surprisingly bland--sparse with the advertised capers and pickled red onions to give it more punch. I've always loved the look of the spot and the vibe--funky decor, outside and indoor facing counters to order, with some outdoor seating for people watching on Dekalb or heading nearby Ft. Greene Park. I see they are renovating and rebranding a bit and adding some burger component. While I didn't love it, I'd definitely give it another shot.
