What a gem of a place! There is no other coffeeshop in this neighborhood to hang out in (part of the charm of this seaside community)and this cafe is such a wonderful part of it. I love it here.

There are not many places to enjoy a coffee in this charming bucolic little seaside town. This cafe was a welcome little stop with lovely treats and a warm and welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff. I love it here!

This is a great little place with the best food and atmosphere. We use it when on the Queen Mary 2 and doing a round trip. We are forced to get off the ship for immigration formalities and not allowed back on for a couple of hours so get lunch here. The garden at the back is a great place to eat and has good WiFi Internet access.

As a girl from a small town in Ontario, Canada, I feel we need more small cafés like this one. Food 10/10, Coffee 10/10, Atmosphere 10/10, staff 10/10. I definitely recommend this coffee shop for anyone visiting Red Hook area in Brooklyn!

What a delicious treat for a brunch spot in Redhook, Brooklyn. My kids and I were coming into Brooklyn searching for a brunch spot, coming out of the battery tunnel and this wonderful restaurant popped out on my Google search. Thankfully it did because it was a treasure to have been found in such an industrial area. The restaurant itself is so historic and brings the 1920s vibe with old photos, bar counter and table setting. The beautiful outdoor space is a hidden gem in itself, a must see in the spring and summer months. Their quiche- we had the spinach mushroom and spinach artichoke were phenomenal. We also had the square croissants- spinach artichoke and ratatouille and goat cheese. I am def making this my summer hang out with the kids to enjoy the hidden gem in Redhook, Bk.

Darling Neighborhood Coffee Shop with a little vintage/art deco vibe. A seemingly neighborhood fixture with a selection of sandwiches, pastries and quiche. They are serving Stone Street Coffee.

A Cozy Brooklyn coffee shop that transports you back to simpler times. Staff, food, and coffee are great. An added bonus is the hidden garden in the back. A must visit in the area.

Pretty cute, small cafe. They offer different beans for espresso. Staff were knowledgeable about coffee. Deeply appreciate. They use beans from stone street. Cappuccino was creamy, my choice of coffee bean was fruity.

A cute local spot for coffee. Seems to be a popular place for meet up, work or a quiet morning routine. No GF good options, but the coffee was great.

Great place to have a coffee, sandwich, and get some work done! There’s protected wifi that does reach out into the garden seating but few outlets so come fully charged.

Nice boutique cafe. Great cappuccino, mini cupcakes, Quiche. Interesting 20th Century design created by old family pictures and wall installation.

Stopped in here to have a quick bite before continuing my day in Red Hook. I had the Cheddar, Chive Scone, which was good. (Didn't really seem like a Scone or a Biscuit, more like a combo, either way the taste was good). The guys working their were nice. I liked the space. It had family portraits on the walls and some seating. I ate my Scone out in the backyard, which is not big but it is very pleasant. The prices are good. The atmosphere is laid back and friendly.

Great Red Hook coffee spot, wide food and sandwich selection. The waffle is surprisingly delicious even without syrup. The baristas are very nice and the coffee is decent! Plenty of spots indoors and outdoors as well as an abundance of outlets.

Cute cafe with an old time look, including a massive brass coffee machine. Place is pretty popular as it is the only decent coffee shop in the area. There's a selection of savory and sweet pastries and free WiFi.

I really want to love it here, I’ve been in the area enough times over the past couple years and always give this spot the benefit of the doubt that maybe the cappuccino will be ok this time, but truly I’ve been underwhelmed with milk that has been frothed for way too long that it takes 5-10 minutes before you can drink your coffee without burning your tongue… It’s a nice place with nice people, but I’d recommend to the shop folks to stop putting the milk under the steam wand for more than a minute 🫠

Meh. The lemon pound cake was meh. The artichoke croissant square was doughy, a little dense and somewhat greasy. Not horrible but not worth the 12 bucks for those 2 items. Didn’t get the coffee so maybe that’s the winner here and not the food.
