Salter House

I had the most delightful coffee break at this new local spot! It felt almost like stepping into someones home. If you are going to stay for a coffee, make sure to ask for a proper cup. You’ll enjoy sipping from a delicate coffee cup and saucer worthy of an IG photo! With so many windows, the shop feels light and airy, which will be very welcome this winter when I starved for sunlight. I’m happy to be able to bring my vegan friends here for a coffee date as all their pastries are vegan. The woman who owns this spot also owns a shop next door and clearly has impeccable taste. All the items have been thoughtfully sourced for usefulness, beauty, sustainability, and simplicity. I was so happy to see some of my favorite brands in her shop. It’s the perfect place to grab a coffee and a hostess gift.

Just walked by this place on my way to work— it’s so cute! Beautifully curated Japanese and French housewares and delicious coffee. Also they have Baby Cakes (vegan gluten free but passing as neither). Very nice staff, big windows. What’s not to love?

Wonderful shop with a thoughtfully curated collection of home goods ranging from enamelware and pottery, to antique brass candlesticks, to brushes and spoons for your various domestic tasks. There's also a small section of children's toys. If you need a pick-me-up, score a seat at one of there three small tables and order a pastry and coffee (from La Colombe) from the counter.

Really cute place. The sweets were too sweet. The tea and coffee were amazing. Lovely store with lovely things, especially if you are into old fashioned toys.

A friend took me to Salter House today in my hunt for a last minute courthouse wedding outfit. I’d been promised simple, elegant pieces with that effortless, nonchalant vibe. And the clothes delivered. The person working the shop… also embodied “nonchalant,” maybe a little too literally. She was sweet, adorable and practically vapor. After a couple easy questions about sizing, she vanished. We tried on clothes, wandered the store, basically worked our own shift while she floated somewhere in the ether. Maybe it’s the Gen Z allergy to eye contact sans screen, maybe it’s a no commission retail malaise, maybe it’s just trust fund zen. Who knows. Beautiful products either way, but you might have to shoplift them, because no one’s around to ring you up. Who doesn’t love a freebie? Possible solution: teach the basics of customer service, pay staff enough to survive NYC, maybe toss in a little commission so grabbing a size from the back doesn’t feel like an existential threat.

beautiful store, delicious matcha and the nicest employees ever! i have to visit every time i’m in nyc

Beautiful Cafe with special gifts for sale. Great Brunch spot.

The most loveliest of lovely spaces. Cafe, shop and cafe shop 🫖 I was able to purchase some unique imported and Brooklyn bars treats as well as tea pot service for one. Quality Earl grey tea and the lady behind the bar was exquisite. Kind, helpful, and just LOVELY! There’s a clean restroom with a Japanese sliding door, beautiful music perfect for the ambiance but that’s just personal opinion and the best part of many best parts. Spacious, corner space I will think of it fondly till I able to return if ever.

Such a wonderful place to get a coffee with two walls of windows lining the cafe. The vibe is really wonderful and the staff super helpful and chill. I’m especially thankful for the thoughtfully merchandised shop. The sustainable home goods are not only (& most importantly) in harmony with nature, they’re also extremely great looking as items themselves. Can’t wait to go back again and again. Bless this intelligent place.

This place is the sweetest refuge of the neighborhood. I love the desserts, so moist! The people that work there are literally the chicest beings I've ever seen. One of the baristas, Yves, remembers my order every time without fail and like actually asks about my life. I sometimes bring the kids I babysit for in and she always gives a little treat. They adore her. This place is so special.

I ordered an iced latte made with oat milk, and it was absolutely delicious! I also love that the simple syrup is homemade; it adds a unique touch of sweetness that enhances the overall flavor. This drink is definitely one of my new favorites!

An authentically beautiful place, not bad coffee, not a great selection of baked goods

Lovely decorated Café, what you see is what you can buy. I love the Ambiente and idea, it's a pleasure to sit by the window, enjoy a Cappuccino and look at what's around you or watch busy Atlantic Avenue.. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Only thing I missed was something other to eat than cookies & cake, BUT the cookie was sooo delicious! Highly recommended!

A cute and cozy store with cafe inside. Employees are always friendly and it’s a great spot for home goods and gifts (a bit pricey, but all thoughtfully curated)

They don't have WiFi and the coffee is not the best, but is a nice spot to sit and enjoy the morning light.
