So I’ve been here for the last like 3.5 hours. It’s the plants that drew me in of course. So many beautiful plants means genuine relaxing and healing vibes to me. Then the friendly, welcoming barista with a lovely smile and genuine kindness offered recommendations and a history of the Why behind the name of this cafe. Turns out it’s connected to a farm upstate, where the owner is also involved in reforestation efforts Which is super good vibes. Then she made an awesome herbal tea that she created herself called neural garden, and I went into the music and meditation room, the walls draped in moss and ivy. I lied down on comfortable yoga blankets with small pillows perfectly shaped for my head, and got real relaxation for the first time since returning to nyc a week ago. To my surprise, a breathwork class was happening in the room, which I joined, further relaxing and opening the flows in my body, welcoming light connection with others through this wholesome communal activity. I continued to relax in there. Now I’ve just sampled the brownies which are delicious and will be having the frittata soon. I’m very very very grateful I’ve found this place and it is no doubt my favorite nyc discovery. Sincerest warmest gratitude and hope whoever reads this review gets to experience whatever they most need from the cafe, just like I did. Update: The frittata was also delicious and satisfying 🙌

Lovely space and ambiance, I always come here after my doctors’ appointment to chill and relax. The service is always great and the meditation / sound clinic is a true gem in the chaos of the city! Highly recommend coming here to try the Cuddle Muffin and Immortality Cookie. It’s great for people watching or journaling and enjoying the weather, 1000/10 :)

First of all, NO LAPTOP place. They ask people to relax here. I am so glad that I found this place accidentally.. it was gold! Great coffee with healthy treats.. and the most important part: place for sound therapy. 🥛☕️✨Cappuccino was creamy and smooth with balanced flavor. Chocolate chip cookie was a classic with healthy ingredients.

Very serene spot. Loved the atmosphere and how calm it was. There is a restroom and wifi.

Such a beautiful space! It’s only just opened and you can tell there is something special brewing. Nice to see such unique offerings as far as snacks and herbal teas go. The staff were all super sweet and knowledgeable and shared about the sound clinic and their intentions with the space. Really excited to have access to something like this in the neighborhood. What a beautiful concept, Reforesters :)

Reforesters Laboratory is a true sanctuary. Thoughtfully designed with natural materials, lush greenery, and a calming energy you can feel the moment you walk in, it’s more than just a café—it’s a deeply intentional space that invites you to slow down and breathe. In a neighborhood that never stops moving, this little oasis stands out for its warmth, stillness, and beauty. The coffee? Devoción—hands down the best. The teas and treats are just as divine, clearly made with care and creativity.

I’ve been here only once for an event, and I loved it! It’s a beautiful space with an exceptional sound system. Adoptagen Cafe offers amazing teas as well as coffee. Make sure to check out their website for the event calendar and to learn more about them. Can’t wait to come back.

Reforesters is such a hidden gem in Williamsburg — a cozy coffee shop that feels more like a calm retreat than a café. It’s not your typical spot at all. Their breakfast menu is full of creative dishes like moon cakes and earth balls, each made with natural, thoughtful ingredients that taste as good as they sound. The flavors are unique but comforting, and their maple syrup is honestly to die for. Beyond the food, what really makes Reforesters special is the atmosphere. They offer deep listening and self-meditation sessions that make you want to slow down, breathe, and just enjoy the moment. The space has this grounding energy, with natural herbs and earthy touches everywhere. It’s a place where wellness, creativity, and good coffee come together — perfect for anyone looking for something refreshing and different in the middle of Brooklyn.

Absolutely love this place!!! If I were to open a business it would be exactly like this. Wish I lived in this neighborhood just to spend my mornings here and recharge in the meditation room. I also never purchase books, but I left this shop with two amazing ones. Just a fantastic spot I’m so grateful to have found ⭐️

Attended sound and stillness guided meditation here; had an absolutely amazing experience. The space itself is very inviting/intimate and the sound system is outstanding. Before attending the meditation, I had a latte and a cacao sweet treat from the cafe.....both were delicious. Planning to return for more events...highly recommended.

In the heart of Williamsburg, The Reforesters Laboratory is a hidden gem in Brooklyn — a place that helps you disconnect, reconnect, and restore. In the morning, it’s a cozy coffee shop; later in the day, it becomes a space for meditation, journaling, or simply unwinding. Occasionally, it transforms into a vibrant venue for DJ sets and community gatherings. As its name suggests, The Reforesters is a true oasis in the middle of the city — a place to pause from the chaos, breathe, and reconnect with nature. Through meditation sessions, sound experiences, and comforting teas or sweet treats (all mushroom and gluten-free!), you can truly find a moment of calm. The atmosphere is serene and welcoming — it smells like peace itself. Take a seat, take a breath, and just be present.

Truly favorite place in the world. The elixirs, coffee, teas, and power balls are incredible, fresh, and soothing. So calm and staff is so sweet. Obsessedd

This establishment is a combination of café in the front — and yoga and acoustics studio in the back. The “suround sound” acoustics are absolutely incredible. I went to one of their sound healing workshops — and can’t wait to return. I felt rested and refreshed. Their facilitators are amazingly talented — and create environments where busy New Yorkers can experience physical, spiritual, and somatic healing. Most incredibly, in a city where paying $40 for yoga classes is the new normal — and where “wellness” has become a commercialized commodity — Reforesters Laboratory makes their offerings affordable and accessible. The café has a great selection of coffees, teas, and healthy snacks.

One of the best cafés in Williamsburg, especially in terms of ambiance and tea selections. The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and they have the a wide and great selection of decaf teas (which is rare). They also have some great snacks to go with the beverages -- I’m obsessed with their forest truffle ball. The space feels so cozy and welcoming, and they’re always incredibly accommodating. It even smells amazing in there, it feels like a home away from home.

Funky little space, drip coffee was alright.

The backroom is 2 dollars and so beautiful and meditative. they put a lot of time and thought in creating a sanctuary and the sound/music is amazing

Genuinely confused why this place has such good reviews. It’s super overpriced and there was a hair in my extremely bland food I did not even finish it. Do not get the harvest forest slice
