Good coffee, nice view of the water scapes. Near a touristy area so you’ll see a lot of people there. The coffee is a nice balance between strong and mildly sweet (for the Kyoto Latte). I’ve been to their other branches as well in the city and the quality doesn’t disappoint! For a sweeter option I suggest the Spanish Latte and for mild Sweet I suggest Kyoto.

Arabica hits different. The coffee’s amazing — you can taste the quality. The view of the Brooklyn Bridge from inside is insane, and the service is quick. Not sure if they do pour-overs, so I’ll have to come back and check (not complaining though 😄). Smooth, flavorful coffee — not your usual over-roasted NYC stuff.

I was in that neighborhood and saw this café, which I know is very popular, so I wanted to give it a try. Matcha is one of my fav drinks, I’ve tried many matcha lattes in cafés all over NY and in many places, they haven’t done it well. Here, I watched the barista make it, and he took his time to measure everything perfectly , not sloppy at all. The result was great :) !!! Perfectly balanced and creamy. *Plus, there are outdoor tables where you can see the gorgeous and romantic Brooklyn Bridge, I love it <3

Do yourself a favor — wake up a little earlier, start your walk around Manhattan Bridge, stroll peacefully along the waterfront, and treat yourself to a Kyoto latte to round out a perfect equation for a dopamine boost. The espresso quality was maybe the best I’ve ever had. One of the *extremely * rare coffee shops that is so good, you think “Nope, couldn’t ever achieve this at home” and feel justified spending $7 on a small cup of liquid. You can actually taste and appreciate the flavor profiles in their espresso — you can tell they’ve truly studied the science of this craft. Yep, this spot is worth it. But try to arrive right as they open to avoid lines.

I love the coffee here and the aesthetic. Right close by the Brooklyn Bridge. You can actually see the Bridge. Only thing they don't have matcha soft serve here like in Beijing.

Great place to get coffee. I got the Spanish and Kyoto coffee. Both were really good. It can get crowded on the weekend so don't expect much seats in the cafe.

I was fortunate enough to visit the original % location in Kyoto, Japan. To have another taste of their coffee during my visit to NYC was such a highlight. The Kyoto Latte is one of my favorite lattes, ever. It is NOT overly sweetened, which I love, and you can truly taste the rich espresso as it is not overpowered by the milk. This location is also right next to the Brooklyn bridge so there isn’t a single bad view from wherever you sit in the shop. Service was great too.

Very cool cafe with an amazing view and coffee. Their even basic espresso flavour is very deep and satisfying. One of the best coffee i tried in NYC. Highly recommend. Has a very nice view of Brooklyn Bridge also. If you are lucky to find a seat, sit and enjoy the coffee and the view. Next time, i’ll ask them for a coffee test from different type of beans selection. Also, spanish latte was not so sweet compared to chain coffee servers. Worth trying.

% Arabica situated in Brooklyn’s DUMBO neighborhood, offers a unique coffee experience with its minimalist design and stunning views of the Brooklyn Bridge and Lower Manhattan.  This Japanese-founded coffee shop is renowned for its smooth, flavorful brews. Signature drinks include the Spanish Latte, made with sweetened condensed milk, and the Kyoto Latte, known for its balanced sweetness. The café also offers a selection of pastries from Balthazar Bakery.   The interior features floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing you to enjoy the picturesque surroundings while sipping your coffee. It’s an ideal spot for both locals and tourists seeking a quality coffee experience in a serene setting.

Tried % Arabica for the first time at their Brooklyn, NY location, and it was an amazing experience! We were lucky—no lines, no rush, just a smooth visit. I ordered their famous Iced Spanish Latte to go, and while it was on the pricier side (around $17 USD for two smalls, approximately $25 CAD), it was absolutely worth it. The flavor was rich, smooth, and lived up to the hype! The cafe itself is stunning—the minimalist aesthetic is unique and gorgeous. Plus, the location is unbeatable! You get a perfect view of the Brooklyn Bridge and the skyline, making it an even better spot to enjoy coffee. There’s also outdoor seating, which I imagine is perfect during warmer months. Customer service was great—the staff were kind and welcoming. I’ll definitely be back to try more from their menu and explore other locations. Highly recommend!

We’ve visited % Arabica Dumbo several times, and it’s consistently a lovely place to enjoy coffee. The café is bright, spacious, and beautifully designed. The Kyoto Latte is excellent—smooth, well-balanced, and always a highlight. The Americano is also quite good. As a Japanese brand, the attention to detail and coffee quality really shows. One of the most special features of this location is the large window overlooking the world-famous Brooklyn Bridge. It’s a unique and memorable setting that many people come specifically to experience. There is a corner seating area with an especially nice view, and it naturally attracts a lot of interest. It’s completely understandable that guests want to take photos there. On occasion, we’ve noticed some visitors bringing professional photography equipment and wearing custom or cosplay outfits, using the space primarily for extended photo sessions. Everyone should feel welcome to enjoy the café, but in a shared seating environment like this, a little courtesy and awareness of others can help ensure that more guests have the opportunity to enjoy both the coffee and the view. Overall, this is a wonderful café with high-quality coffee and an iconic setting, and we’ll definitely continue coming back. With mutual consideration among customers, the experience can be even more enjoyable for everyone.

Arabica Brooklyn Bridge is one of the most photogenic coffee stops in NYC. Located right under the Manhattan Bridge in Dumbo, it’s surrounded by food carts, local vendors, and street musicians — perfect for a relaxed break or a photo walk. ☕ What I liked: • Their Spanish latte is smooth and slightly sweet. • Friendly baristas and clean, minimalist interior. 📷 Pro tip for travelers: If you’re into photography, come early in the morning to beat the crowd and get that iconic Manhattan Bridge background shot. The lighting is great around 8-10 AM. 🚇 How to get here: Take the F train to York Street and walk 5 mins. The area is busy on weekends, so weekdays are better for shooting.

Coffee: We got the Spanish Late, Kyoto iced, and an Espresso. The espresso shot was great and had good flavor/eroma. The Spanish latte was a bit sweeter than the Kyoto but both tasted quite watered down unfortunately. I'm sure these would taste much better as hot coffees but for cold coffees, they would not be my go-to. Service: The service here is excellent and staff is very friendly. Atmosphere: Very open and spacious. They also have a great selection of the blends of beans they have (pre-roasted) and do it in store. Atmosphere here was great. Overall, I would maybe come back again but for their hot coffees only.

Spanish latte is literally a cup of milk - watered down with no coffee flavor. Wish this was in the description when it was asked. Glad I only got one drink or would’ve wasted more money. Servers had a lot of attitude / not friendly or welcoming whatsoever. Noticed eye rolls at customers and visible annoyance. Limited seating. Waste of $7. Avoid this place at all costs - it’s overhyped and tasteless. You’re better off supporting a small local coffee shop with better engagement from its staff. Truly disappointed
