Tiny place with friendly staff and excellent service. We had the prosciutto omelette, an acai bowl, and a waffle. Everything was excellent. You have to get lucky in order to get a seat inside, but good weather means sidewalk seating will also be available. I had severe order envy when I saw the Turkish eggs delivered to the patron next to us and hope to be able to try that on a future visit.

The avocado toast and bagel with cream cheese were delicious. The cappuccino and English breakfast tea were fantastic as well. The staff was friendly, very accommodating, and the atmosphere was pleasant. They also had great vegan options.

Delicious acai bowl and avocado toast. Both are rather large for me, so I felt too full after eating them. The white coffee was pretty good, but the Americano was neither here nor there in terms of flavor. Nice sidewalk seating on a quieter street just off Smith Street.

A charming coffee shop with a cozy interior. Note the seats are somewhat limited indoors. I particularly enjoyed the nutty-flavored Turkish Coffee, which also came with a piece of Turkish delight. The cranberry oat scone was very good too.

Found this gem on a recent trip to Brooklyn. Looking around for breakfast/brunch places and we're so glad that we picked this one. Had the buratta avocado toast and the truffle grilled cheese sandwich. Both were knockouts! Vibe is cozy as well. Definitely recommend.

Lovely coffee and food! Limited seating but would recommend outside if the weather is nice!

Café Volkan is a charming little spot with fantastic hot chocolate and perfectly flaky croissants. The outdoor seating area is just as tiny as the café itself, but it somehow works and adds to the coziness. A great place to stop by for a quick bite — and definitely grab a latte while you’re there.

Quaint coffee shop serving Devocion beans with the regular assortment of espresso-based drinks and drip. They also have kitchen serving pastries alongside several brunch dishes like açaí bowls and bagels. Great cafe for chatting with friends or reading but not for working!

Food was tasty. Seating area inside was tight, but at least they have indoor seating (unlike a lot of eateries in the area).

Very cute cafe in the neighborhood. The food looks amazing and the vibe is cozy. However, do NOT order matcha latte. It’s too watery and no flavor at all and overpriced. Paying $8 for a tasteless matcha latte, I’d just buy a matcha flavor boba tea from Heytea or Debutea. Other than this, recommend this cute cafe.

I ordered an iced Nutella latte with oat milk, and it was honestly terrible. First off, it was $8 (NYC prices, sure but the drink SUCKED). I’ve worked in coffee shops for six years, and now that I’m a retired barista, I still enjoy the occasional specialty latte. I saw that Café Volkan had great reviews and some interesting drinks, so I figured I’d give it a try. The barista partly steamed the milk for my iced drink, I’m guessing to mix the flavorings, but that can easily be done with a spoon. As a result, when they poured the warm milk and espresso over the ice, it melted almost immediately. What I ended up with was a watery, room-temp $8 drink that tasted like nothing. I couldn’t taste any Nutella, and overall it was just super disappointing. I’m always happy to support small businesses and don’t mind paying higher prices when the quality matches the cost but in this case, it really didn’t.
