Had a hot latte with lavender, it was so good, my friend had a iced mocha wish he said was amazing. Staff was amazing. Even when there was a snow storm outside they still had the coffee shop open. Inside is so cozy and relaxing. Def recommend going if around the area

Total local hangout with great unique taste to simply good things in very romantic college cafe feel of comfort where the old meet the young, interchanging energy and generations in such pleasant way. ^&^ I can come back to this good feeling corner cafe.

Sweet service and a the coffee was solid. The owner is such a nice guy- Ran into him at the Bedford location and enjoyed our chat so will support his shops

Decent coffee and really cute seating set up with a loft area. FYI if you’re looking for a free public restroom in the area there is one in the same building! Go all the way downstairs when you enter- follow the murals. The staff will direct you. Came here all the time when I was nannying & we needed to go potty after the park.

very decent cafe with high ceilings and lots of seating, had the iced matcha latte with oat along with the iced chai latte and both were pretty decent and I was surprised that the matcha was done with a real chasen whisk, chilled reading upstairs for a while with the lattes

First time in Brooklyn, had a flight cancellation until the next day so while visiting my cousin here, I stopped in for some much needed caffeine. Service was stellar, being greeted & served upon entering. The ambiance of this old building is wonderful, the coffee had a great blend of flavors, the staff was friendly & chill, good vibes all around. My order was iced cold brew with a double shot on top, no cream no sugar. This definitely packed a lunch & is usually my go to order at any coffee shop. They did not disappoint what so ever. They have enough seats to accommodate a decent size crowd, with additional spots on a loft like area, which adds to the cool factor of this place. It was definitely a great choice.

Y’all I’m losing it, this is THE spot for cozy coffee shop that feels like hometown (insert late 90’s/early 2000’s tv show vibes here). We’ve got Clinking of ceramic plates and mugs, low key barista who’s chatting in a way that feels familiar, coffee absolutely on point, wooden tables that feel clean and lived in, journey downstairs to the bathroom that feels like it could be a mini golf course. I want nothing more than this.

AMAZING CAFE AMAZING ATMOSPHERE ☕️ Swallow Cafe is an absolute 💎 in this Cobble Hill / Brooklyn Heights neighborhood. It feels very warm and the spacious layout / high ceilings feel extremely inviting. It’s a great place to just relax with morning coffee and perch yourself at one of the many seating areas inside (or outside). Large windows allow you to people watch. The pastries are very good and the drinks are as well. But what really sets this place far above other cafes is the atmosphere. If you’re going to pay NY prices for a coffee and a pastry, best to have it in a setting that allows you to enjoy it! Find your happy place at Swallow Cafe! Highly recommended 👍🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’ve been to quite a lot of cafes, and this one takes the cake! The many times I’ve dined in and took the time to enjoy its ambience, food and decadent coffee I’m left feeling brighter about my day and the state of our world. The baristas, especially the sweet strawberry blonde one, are always too kind! A must try cafe!

What a amazing unique cafe in Brooklyn, the coffee tastes really good and the vibe there is peaceful and astonishing. The Baristas were super nice and friendly and and the latte art is on point!

This is a cute café, right on Atlantic Avenue. The customer service is very polite. They have a nice variety of coffee offerings. The coffee itself is delicious. They also seem to have a lot of seats. Lots of people here are also ordering food so that’s good thing. I’ll go back one day.

Literally the best and one of my favorite cafes to work, dine, and play. And by play I mean a coffee date! The cafe is so warm and the staff is amazing. Oh and the food is next level! The chef should open a brunch location! The baked egg with cheese and mushrooms is so tasty and flavorful. I usually order a side of tomato spread for my toast, thank me later!

Love! While many other local cafes were closed at 7am, they were just opening. Got some fresh hot coffee and a delicious pastry. Excellent customer service and a great atmosphere. They also offer some goodies to take with you along the way if you’re just grabbing to go😊

Small yet fairly frequented neighborhood cafe with duplex seating. Interior has a old time tavern-like charm to it. As a street location, the cafe receives plenty of natural light from the large north and east facing windows. A great place to hang out and chill on a weekend afternoon.

Beautiful cozy cafe. Very high ceiling. A few extra seatings on the gallery above. Very nice & helpful baristas. Could be very crowded at times. Some outlets do not work. They kosher soy milk.

Decent coffee shop. The decor is nice but the coffee is average. Not bad but not crazy good. Give them a try if you’re in the area!

Lovely little coffe shop, small sized but cool interior. Had the hot chocolate with oat milk which was good but a little under sweetened. Definitely a popular spot and I have some friends who really like the coffee here. Worth a stop in. They also have a decent sized food menu of salads, smoothies, wraps and such. if you're looking for that along with your coffee.

Overpriced, bland drinks…but the space looked nice inside. We got both of the fall special items (pumpkin latte and apple cider) and both were disappointing. At $7 each (for a size small), you go in with expectations of flavor but both tasted watered down…with the pumpkin not having a hint of pumpkin. Imo, to charge $7 for small fall drinks is already steep, so they better be incredible. Not going back.

Very rude owner. Place seems like it’s more of a working cafe. Pretty much no place to sit because everyone is working on their laptops on a weekend
