Solid slot for pastries and treats, esp like that they are open late and have a nice seating area inside. Service was fast and I really liked the plum and almond flavors inside, would enjoy again!

Great café! The food is awesome, the prices are very fair, there is a wide variety of selections and the staff is very helpful. The interior is comfortable but not cramped, warm but not boiling, and they serve very fresh meals and treats. I have been going there for. along time and have not had a bad experience. It is busy in that you will definitely not be the only person there, but since it is a large space you will have a place to sit inside or outside. You can seat yourself which is nice, it is a very efficient experience (but you are not rushed), and everything is very clean. Smells great inside and outside, too!

I had an amazing experience at Cousin John’s Café & Bakery in Brooklyn. We ordered the pancetta eggs Benedict, and it was outstanding. the pancetta was perfectly cooked and wonderfully savory. We also tried the fresh squeezed orange juice, which was refreshing, and the ideal compliment to the meal. The service was surprisingly impressive. The staff was attentive and kind, bringing water right away and offering complimentary chocolate raisin bread with cranberry jam (available only on Sat/Sun 9am–3pm), which was such a thoughtful and delicious fall touch. The bakery section is incredible. They offer everything from cakes and tarts to cannolis made to order, crème brûlée, crumb cake, mini key lime pies, lobster-tail pastries and everything looked absolutely amazing and high quality. All in all, Cousin John’s delivers excellent food, exceptional service, and an impressive bakery selection. Highly recommended I’ll definitely be back!

I ordered my birthday cake here this year and wow it didn’t disappoint!! The staff is so friendly, the people who come here are lovely, and my favorite item for a treat is their fruit tarts- I could eat a million!!!! Thank you Cousin John’s!!!!

Less a bakery and more a factory of olfactory sensation — every morning i walk past and am bathed in good good sugary cinnamon smell, and every once in a while i stop to taste it too. Croissants and lemon merengue in particular. Careful with the lattes - like the best of my friends - at first, a little too hot! Then tasty!

Quite possibly the best waffle I’ve ever had? More a waffle-croissant. A Croisffle? idk. So light, flaky, nice crunchy edges, the right amount of sweetness, and they gave me fruit for free. Good, friendly service, in a lively environment —a great impression for my first visit.

We were looking for a new place to try in the neighborhood and we find this small cute bakery! We tried a few things but definitely my favorite was the lemon meringue pie, so for those lemon lovers (like me) please tried it, because it was delicious! I’ll go back just for that! Update: Happy to see they move into a bigger space. You can see all the choices they have & the Lemon Meringue Pie is good as always. Our new favorite thing is the Cream Puff! There is plenty of indoor seating & few outdoor seating.

I was visiting a friend in Brooklyn and, as we were out, he suggested we stop by here for a quick bite and I am SO GLAD he did!! Wow!! It was INCREDIBLE!! I had such difficulty deciding as about two dozen things in the cases looked great. I settled on a Linzer cookie, hot chocolate, and a croissant. While the hot chocolate and croissant were excellent, the Linzer cookie was unbelievable!! I have been to Austria and the Linzer cookie I had today is probably the best I’ve ever had. Also, all three people behind the counter were incredibly friendly and made me feel so happy and comfortable here. I wish this place was where I lived but, this will be a must visit place on my annual trip here. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Please come here as it must survive forever so I can try all the other things that tempted me today on future trips.

My family and I found this place while on vacation. We had only planned on going into Brooklyn once this trip, but ended up going once more specifically so we could eat here again. The food is fantastic! I especially like the Avocado Salad and their croissants. Their baked goods are also phenomenal. The prices are very reasonable and the service is great, too. They do not disappoint!

They moved!!! New location is beautiful- just a couple doors down. Starting with the surprising things- their coffee is incredible. We also got the apple crumb cake bc it looks delicious and it didn’t disappoint! We really came for their strawberry shortcake- it was sold out by 1pm on sat so we got the mixed berry cake- which was fine bc we aren’t particular, but def order ahead of you want an 8inch cake with an afternoon pickup. I dream on the strawberry shortcake btw. Best one in NYC!
