I’m visiting from Florida and Variety is the only coffee shop open on Christmas morning (which I really appreciate!) got a cold brew, dirty chai, cardamom croissant, ham and cheese croissant and a blueberry muffin. Everything was fantastic!

Definitively a good and peace place to go. For me, I found this place from my Airbnb host’s recommendation during my week stay around NYC and Brooklyn. Pretty busy during the morning on weekdays. And if you need to stay for work, be prepared to arrive early even though there are enough spots for people.

LOCATION ✔️ AMBIANCE✔️ STAFF ✔️ COFFEE ✔️ RESTROOM ✔️ TABLES ✔️ VEGAN CHOICES ✔️ Excellent cafe in central Bushwick location, with excellent staff, great coffee, and nice big space, with plenty of tables and lovely clientele. My friend and I were there VERY early And table was easy to find! Nice service counter with available water fountain and glasses provided. Nice spot.

Variety Coffee is one of the best local roasters out of Brooklyn. Im usually grabbing my beverage "to go", but decided to soak up the chill atmosphere the day after Christmas. The cafe is usually bustling and there is rarely never a place to sit. But on this day, I sat next to their lovely tree and took in the subtle pine scent. Their coffee is super flavorful, which makes a delicious oat milk latte. Their pastries are by far some of the best in the area, especially the muffins. My fav is the blueberry, pumpkin, cranberry -- super moist and tasty. The space is reminiscent of what I'd imagine an old apothecary shop to be -- warm wood bar and brick walls give the space a cozy, welcoming feel. Staff is friendly and ready to make you the best drink! Glad I took a moment to sit and take it all in today.

Amazing! We went every day during our stay in Brooklyn and the coffee was great every time. I had cappuccinos and flat whites, both of which were great and the pastries too are very good, coupled with friendly baristas making this a fabulous coffee stop. I highly recommend coming here!

Cute spot to work at, drinks are decent and staff is always pleasant. I enjoy the outdoor seating, hate that people who don’t order from here sit there sometimes but that’s not the stores fault. Gluten free cookie available that was practically inedible but I appreciate it being an option (maybe it was stale cause I came later in the day, might try it again on a morning). Regular pastries are really good according to my non celiac friends

I really liked this old cozy cafe. Here you can drink a glass of delicious latte and sit at a laptop at a small table. There was no tea on the menu😳. Sometimes you want to drink tea with milk🙂. 4 stars. I recommend!

Really cool place with good coffee and good Pastries! Can definitely recommend the pumpkin vegan cake, so good. We were staying in the area and as we really enjoyed the place, we came back 3 days in a row. Would have give 5 stars if staff was more friendly

This place is amazing, and the staff is always so nice. But the music they play can sometimes be *SO* weird and random and such a vibe killer sometimes. It can also get a bit too loud as well, making it harder to have conversations with friends. I wish they'd play something more mellow that enhances its already chill vibe, like LoFi music or some dream pop like Cigarettes After Sex, The Marias, Slow Joy, Humbe, or Conan Gray. Besides the music, it's a solid spot and always my go-to.

Good location, spacious store, and nice staff. I appreciate Variety coffee still keeps the decent price for coffee. Generally the music is bit too loud. Often times, tables are occupied by people with their laptops so it’s hard to have a seat in the afternoon.

The decaf espresso I ordered was extremely bitter and the chocolate chip cookie was average at best but overall the atmosphere here is on point with a vibe of a laid back cafe, one where you'd go to to study or handle some work.

So, I love supporting local shops and what not, but I came to order a toasted croissant, and the chick behind the counter waited until after I paid to let me know they dont have a toaster or microwave or anything. The croissant tasted stale and is not soft whatsoever. I noticed they sell ham and cheese croissants as well and wondered how they warm them up meat and dairy products with no warming device. Definitely will not be coming back. I'd rather sell my soul to Starbucks then support this amateur coffee shop.
