Little Zelda

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!

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 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

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.
