I really love the vibe of this place and appreciate a coffee space that is light and airy for a change. I have always found the people who work here quite pleasant. I love their maple lattes! I really love that they have some books and games here for my child to enjoy while the adults enjoy coffee and conversation.

A lovely local coffee spot. Friendly servers. A treasure trove of old books to read.Fun artisanal drinks made with organic tasty ingredients. I've had their hot chocolate (awesome), a maple latte (perfectly sweet), and your basic coffee (which tasted like coffee is supposed to). I especially like that some tables are specifically labelled 'no laptops please', so it's designed to be social establishment to enjoy coffee and conversation, and not just a den for frustrated screenwriters. They need more places like this one.

A lovely neighbourhood cafe with a selection of organic gelatos. Reasonably priced - two scoops for five dollars. Had the milk chocolate and pistachio - quite fresh and delicious. Service is excellent. Definitely coming back to try other things on their menu.

Cute café, I thought it was nice they have a section with books and for some reason VHS. Ordered a latte and it wasn't great, I could taste the milk more than the coffee. We wanted to sit down and drink it there on a regular mug but they only provide to-go cups, which I see as wasteful. Ambience was nice and quiet, good for conversation. Anyway, it was just an ok experience.

Go here if you like the old school cappuccino/coffee that was the standard 10 years ago. They serve different kind of coffee than the 2021 barista ones like Devoción and Brooklyn Roasting company, but that might be your thing. IMO it doesn't have the depth, the lovely smell or sour tones that other coffee shops have. It looks cute inside, kind baristas. Only take out.

Good service, nice interior, tasty hot chocolate. Update: gave five stars after my first visit. Since then, I’ve been back a few times and have had mixed (including a few negative) experiences. They sell a certain type of coffee mug with an awesome logo (1st photo). After first visit I returned to try to purchase one. The clerk brusquely told me they were not for sale, even though it seemed pretty clear they were. Fast forward to two weeks ago, I stopped back in and tried to purchase the mug. This time, success! After taking the mug home, I then realized it has text on it (2nd photo) that I’m not a fan of. So, I went back to the store today to try to return it in original condition with original packaging, but was told by staffmember that Clever Blend doesn’t do returns. Was disappointed by this. Was probably my last time in there. If anyone in NYC likes the mug and wants it please feel free to DM me 🙃

The people working there were nice and the pastries looked fine. But the coffee is really bad… as if the latte was made with the cheapest ground coffee (think nespresso machine level) mixed with warm milk. Edit (for the owner): I live in the area. I'm not an expert so I can't explain what's wrong, but it tasted like a standard generic drip coffee with milk, again the place is very nice but it would benefit having a real, solid, good coffee. Also I don't choose Google's Local Guide label, that appears after leaving only a few reviews.

It's a nice little place, but the coffee is just above passable, and the service is just as bad. It would be tolerable for convinience but it's also expensive. They dont seem to want to make coffee to order. Like I ask for a specific order, and it's not that.

Cute coffee shop nestled in Park Slope, however the quality and price for food and drinks is not adding up. The chai I had was tasteless and mostly foam. I also said hello to the folks working and they looked at me like I was a leopard.

Americano was bad. Laptop rule is annoying but I get it, makes for a better vibe, but then only paper cups available? The one thing that was great was the service, really friendly and helpful staff working there. To the cafe owners: I know you think the laptop rules are made very clear but they still are not. I only found out after I ordered a coffee and sat down. If you see someone walk in alone with a backpack, it’s probably worth reminding them when they order it’s a no-laptop time. [Edit] Initially left a three star review, but after the defensive and passive aggressive response from the owner, changing it to a one star. The laptop thing is obviously not clear or people would not be mentioning it in the reviews. I think it's a good policy, just make it more clear. For the record, I did get a refund and appreciate that.

Stopped in because my little guy wanted some ice cream. I used my card to pay and did not enter a tip amount because I was going to put cash in the tip jar. An elderly man when I was checking out literally started yelling at me, “No tip, Where’s the tip?” Extremely rude. I put $2. in the tip jar did not say thank you or acknowledge. I will not be returning. Thank you for your reply. I apologize for the miscommunication about the man not being an employee and I have updated my review. I believe you were serving the ice cream and it would have been nice if you had said something while I was getting yelled at. A simple quiet, sorry about that, you’re fine. When I put the $2. in the jar you could have said thank you or even that it wasn’t necessary.
