Great place, but dirty.

Delicious coffee and delectable pastries!

Super cute and enjoyed the coffee

Just the best. Been around for ages!

The best

So lovely.

The absolute best

The best coffee shop in Brooklyn since 2011! :)

I love this place! The best!!

Such a beautiful place & authentic coffee - loved the cardamom rose latte! Lovely friendly service and brilliantly unique way of keeping customer loyalty cards

I love little Zelda! Lovely drinks, with friendly folks. Olivia is my favorite barista! She’s charismatic, makes fabulous drinks, and creates great conversation. I always enjoy it here! 100 percent recommend. Make sure to tip well here. The service is worth the recognition.

Olivia and aloe are the most amazing baristas in all of New York, this cafe is genuinely one of the best! The vibe is so warm and welcoming, the coffee and matcha are quality.

Really love the coffee. You can tell the barista really cares!

Such a cute spot. And the coffee barista made such a good cappuccino for me.

The best local spot! little Zelda has incredible Hojicha macadamia latte, super friendly baristas, and the perfect cozy atmosphere for working or catching up with friends.

We have been amazed by the beauty of Little Zelda, and everything from the coffee itself, the pastries and the kindness of the people there ! Thanks to the team ! We’ll definitely be back ! We are from Paris and we felt at home in 2 seconds ! :)

cutest cafe in the neighborhood :0

Best baristas, best coffee, best vibes

Just had the best dry milk cappuccino. Literally best in crown heights/prospect heights/bed stuy. Woman with the glasses who made it- protect your hands at all costs.

Amazing coffee shop in Brooklyn, will be my new spot! Highly recommend!

Great coffee and service. However, they need to implement a policy against dogs. It is simply too small in there for dogs.

Really enjoyed the mocha and my son loved the cookie. The female worker (sorry forgot her name) was very excellent and warm

Favorite neighborhood coffee spot!

Best coffee in Crown Heights

I'm biased but a must visit if you're in the neighborhood. Great coffee, great people, great vibes.

My vanilla oat milk latte was sooo yummy today and the vibes were good and barista was so kind!

Best coffee around the area, great vibes and friendly baristas.

Great coffee ☕️ The barista was so friendly and beautiful

Super pleasant ownership.

One of my favorite coffee shops in Brooklyn ☕ #cafecito

Wonderful coffee shop on a vibrant street. Love the coffee and vibe. You feel the good energy right when you walk in from the staff, decor on the walls, and the folks writing, chatting, working, and of course drinking coffee here. Special place.

Cute and cozy with the best baristas. I could sit here for hours chatting with friends - especially when it’s such a vibe in the weekends!

Cuteness herself! This place is awesome and best chewy cookie ever. Shout out to Katie! Thanks for the excellent service :)

I had the best croissant of my life here. Great place for a regular spot to work, chill, or just grab a coffee and go. Dog friendly, and people friendly too.

Been going here almost daily as I found this spot to be my fave coffee shop in the area. Super friendly employees & quality coffee. It absolutely deserves a visit

Love this gem. My go to cafe in the neighborhood. The staff are always very nice though the quality of coffee depends on who the barista is. It's small but the vibe is great, full of creativity and community engagement in a limited space. They have the most variety of milk that I've known of. I am a bit sad they are no longer open at night since I used to enjoy a late night coffee.

I love the atmosphere, the food and, most of all, the service. Reminds me of a little café I visited while in Paris with my wife, but with a very charming Brooklyn touch. If you’re lucky, Zelda herself might be manning the register. Be sure to say hi; one day, when you see her accepting a Tony, you’ll be able to say that you met her before she became famous.

I like how they have all of the punch cards on the wall. And the barista was wearing a purple Santa hat

This place is a neighborhood institution for a reason. Great coffee, friendly baristas, and a cute charming vibe. Iced cortado is always on point and the punchcard system is very cool. Support your local coffee shops and not the chains.

Little Zelda Coffee in Brooklyn has a cute, laid-back vibe- like Paris in Brooklyn. They have great coffee and tasty pastries, it’s the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy a good cup of joe.

Wonderful little coffee shop! The coffee shop inside is pretty small, but the line moves generally pretty quickly, and all of the drinks I've had there have been excellent. Perfect ambiance for sitting outside and people watching, or catching up with a friend. Easily my favorite coffee shop in the area

Little Zelda has the coolest vibe—friendly, intimate, and effortlessly charming. Great coffee, lovely people, and a truly wonderful neighborhood feel.

this place is the best. the coffee is delicious, baristas are always lovely, vibe is cozy, great hours, clientele is always cool and kind, there a lot of sweet little touches, and the place has character. favorite coffee shop in my neighborhood.

David pulled me maybe the best shot of espresso I’ve had in NY the other day - so smooth!

Little Zelda has the best baristas, Chai, and coffee in Crown Heights. Grab a drink and enjoy!

Used to like it but they had so many recent issues with hygiene/health certifications

I was in line for coffee and left because I decided I didn't want coffee made by this person (a female who works here on 12/20 during morning hours). A customer in front of me asked something, and she said, "No problem, I trust you" (it was about a coupon or something like that). Then she turned, rolled her eyes, and made an ugly face. Don’t say it’s not a problem if it is, and don’t be so smallminded as to not realize there are people watching.

This place is constantly closed per the health dept for numerous violations. They keep reopening by hiding the DOH sign slapped on their door, which seems like a pretty awful way to conduct business. Been here a few times and the coffee and service are average… doesn’t seem worth it for food poisoning honestly.

Oh my God this used to be my little go to spot when I lived in Crown Heights and now anytime I’m in Brooklyn. I drive over. But now it’s always closed every time I get there. It’s either closed at crazy hours or it’s just not open most of the week. :-( I’m sure it’s on its way all the way out

This place has been closed by the health department 3 times!

Beware the health rating.

I used to be a regular but stopped going here after seeing them get shut down for repeated health code violations, actively ignoring the notices and trying to hide them from customers over the past year or two. I walked by last summer and there was a health violation notice. The next day they put up a "special menu" to cover it and were open for business.

They’ve been shut down by the health department numerous times and keep reopening illegally and taking the sign off. They framed it as “spring cleaning”

Came here in 2023 in the spring and I lived near by, it was around 4pm and I stopped by for a coffee. As I walked with my friend in the barista said “these people don’t live in New York, no one who lives in NY would ever buy coffee after 3pm” then he turned to us and said “welcome to New York” it was a bizarre experience as I had been living there for 5 years at the time. He was rude the entire time he took my friend’s order and making their drink, I opted not to get anything because of his off putting attitude and I never went there again.

I came to this establishment for a cup of coffee. I was staying at a friend's and they recommended this place. I waited patiently in line while the young man who was making the coffee, chatted up the two young woman in front of me, (one white one asian) made their coffee, and pleasantly completed the exchange. When I stepped up to the counter he abruptly and curtly said, I have to clean some things and get some ice. I can't get to you for 10 minutes. He said the ice had run out because of all the ice based drinks people were ordering. He never asked me if I was having a hot or cold drink. He just turned around, after telling me I had to wait 10 minutes, and began washing out a big bucket. I am a 63-uear-old Black American woman. I know racist behavior when I see it as I've sadly experienced it numerous times in my life I was absolutely discriminated against in this establishment. If this is something that you don't support, then don't buy your coffee at Little Zelda. My friend had also recommended Coffee Land which is a few doors down. I immediately left Little Zelda because of the racist energy. The experience at Coffee Land was a 360 degree difference. I was welcomed, along with several others who were clearly regulars. The barista greeted me with a big smile and was very accommodating and kind. I highly recommend this establishment as they treat all of their customers with respect.
