My friends recommended coffee here, it was so good. But I am satisfied with Matcha latte. Is was good.

Fantastic place to meet, work and get a coffee. Fantastic backyard .

The most neighborly cafe I've ever experienced. A great place to get both a caffeine fix and dog fix.

This has been my local caffeine fix for almost 15 years, and like in ‘Cheers’ everyone knows your name. Slammin’ Colombe coffee, vintage 90s decor (Steve Keene, garage sale kitsch 👍🏻), pastries from Colson Patisserie and sandwiches made here, big backyard and a musician owner who plays great jams. I’m sitting here now, enjoying a coffee in the backyard with the Funky Meters wafting through the door. Extra credit: My kid felt so welcome here that when she once had to run in on her way home from elementary school to use the bathroom they made sure she was OK. This is what neighborhood looks like 💖

This is the happiest, most community feeling place in the neighborhood. Jaden and Brittany are always a pleasure to interact with and they make the best playlists 🎵!

Such a hidden gem in Brooklyn! I stopped in for a quick caffeine fix and ended up with one of the best lattes I’ve ever had—shoutout to Jaden for absolutely nailing it. Super friendly and clearly knows her coffee game. The latte was creamy, flavorful, and just hit the spot! Great vibes, cozy atmosphere, and awesome service. Highly recommend!

This is my go to place for a great start to the morning. The customer service is spectacular especially the barista Jaden. She always provides service with a smile and sometimes a song.

This is THE best coffee shop of all time. It makes this neighborhood feel like home and brightens my mood every time I stop by. The staff is wonderful and kind - Johnny, Jaden, Brittany, and Mitro are my absolute favorites - and they make the best cappuccino I've had in the city.

The single greatest coffee shop in my little corner of the world. Barista’s so angelic that the heavens do blush. Great coffee, eats and banter. A joy to my heart, a light in the darkness , a fine spot to sit and wonder.

This is our favorite coffee shop in the neighborhood! Great coffee and pastries (I'm partial to the maple lattes and teddy bear financiers). All of the staff is wonderful and the place is very kid friendly. My daughter loves to go in and say hi to the baristas who have become her friends.

I came here cos there was a half an hour wait at little egg. They were pretty empty at 11am on a Sunday and it was a lovely day outside. They took my order immediately and the coffee took about 5 mins to make. They have a long bar at the batista counter I love the colors of the space and the bathroom was super clean. they have a large patio seating area in the back as well, It would be lovely in the summer time! I sat out front in the sunshine- the coffee was the perfect touch :)

Nice little cafe with some pastries. Coffee is decent and there’s a nice backyard that you can sit and really wonder!!

Near Brooklyn Museum. Lovely ambience and delicious flat white coffee. Great location and has a counter with stools facing sidewalk to watch the prettiest people and dogs go by. It seems like there is a restroom in the back however I did not verify this. If they have one I will definitely be going back to do some writing.

Super cute little shop, my first time here. The espresso was delicious, next time I’ll have to check out their back yard and house made pastries.

What a lovely little spot! The iced lattes are perfect and the spiced hibiscus iced tea is phenomenal. Great little backyard with strong wifi, kind clientele and even kinder service. Felt very much like my favorite coffee shops when I was a kid growing up in the south, but with better coffee - welcoming, homey, and fun.

I recently moved to the neighborhood and this has become my favorite coffee shop. The Owner and staff are extremely friendly and the coffee and pastries are delicious. The corn muffin with cheddar and sage is delicious! I highly recommend supporting this amazing local business!

Very clean, friendly and professional barista. Espresso quality is average (in a good way) and has notes of baked goods, a pleasant aroma and aftertaste. Great location, love the decor and accessibility of the condiments area, nice to see a self serve water station that’s obviously iced and refilled often. Good to see straws offered to those in need and a friendly note that invites interpersonal reflection on straw use for those who tend to take a straw out of habit. Overall satisfied and would revisit 👍

Sit & Wonder is a great place to work or relax! The drinks are strong, the pastries are tasty, and the outdoor patio is peaceful! The friendly staff is also notable, but the prices are a tad high.

The coffee is decent and had a slice of the lemon poppy seed cake which was moist but lacked a bit of flavor. I was hoping to have my coffee in a proper cup rather than a paper one, but I wasn’t asked whether it was to stay or to go.

No latte art. The espresso tasted over extracted. Very bitter and disappointing. The ratio for the latte was off and half of the cup was foam.
