Nostrand Coffee Roasters

By far the best coffee I've had in the U.S.! I've been around for a month and have tried most cafes on multiple 'top ten' lists, yet this has been my favourite. It is also conveniently located across from Bagel World, which is a plus!

This place has a beautiful backyard. When I've been there, people have been respectful of each other and there hasn't been overly boisterous conversation, so it's a great place to work while enjoying the open air and trees. It's so great to have access to an outdoor space with wifi since I don't have yard. Quick service and delicious teas.

I love the quiet back patio and the coffee is always rich and fresh. Lucky to have this spot near home!

Outside you see the fun drip coffee. Step inside to this alluring architecture of a space. It’s unique feel is exactly complimentary to the outstanding robust coffee. Definitely wakes me up and has me alert. Tasty too. Do not come here if you want weak coffee. You will be given a real caffeine fix. And I should know I can drink coffee before I go to bed. This one I would only reserve for the mornings. I’m impressed will be my go to spot when in fort Greene 💜

Great break from the other overcrowdness that is dekalb ave. If you don’t want to wait in a line for a coffee at Bittersweet, come here. Great quiet outdoor seating away from the street. Cute decor! They are super kind and let me bring my dog in to get coffee with me.

Nice little coffee shop with solid coffee, quiet and inviting atmosphere. Clean, tidy, and pleasant!

Conceptually, I’m in love with this place. Sleek, modern interior. Store front is terrific — worth it just to walk by. Service good; drip coffee good.

I had a basic latte. Nothing special. I’ve made a better latte at home. I was charged 15% just to add ice?? There are a few tables to sit inside if you want to work or meet with some one.

The place is fine. Backyard needs some love (noisy A/C, keeping tables/chairs clean in the summer, back door that doesn’t open without a kick) … and the music is the radio. Cups do not fit saucers. Coffee is good though.

Jesus this is the most bitter latte I’ve had in a long time, and I drink a lot of coffee. Pastries and service are great, very cute spot otherwise

my favorite coffee shop near my home is the other location on Nostrand. so, I thought I'd enjoy this spot. I told the guy when I returned today that the coffee wasn't good the last time I came and got an iced mocha. I always get an iced mocha. this time I got it with oat milk to eliminate any variations and it tasted more like a chocolate milk. the other locations' mocha has a rich and bold coffee flavor, what you imagine smelling first thing in the morning and getting a boost of energy. I can barely taste the coffee in this. I could see that the guy paid attention to making it, but something is not right. he asked on my way out and I described it to him, because I still had a half full cup, but he's never offered to remake it or try it with an extra shot. I've gotten it with decaf and regular and it has no oomph in the flavor. So, I've wasted my money here again.

Espresso is only second-wave quality (bitter and burnt tasting) but atmosphere is nice. Patio is beautiful, staff is friendly.

Saw the line at Bittersweet and decided to come here instead. Ordered an iced vanilla latte and requested light ice. What I received was a regular latte with no vanilla, chock-full of ice. It also tasted bitter and burnt :( Pretty annoying that I paid for extras like vanilla syrup and didn't get what I ordered. It is a really cute and clean space though!

I ordered a hot matcha latte and it was not hot at all. I would say it was room temp at best and the matcha itself was pretty bitter. Then I ordered banana bread which I thought was something you couldn’t mess up, but boy was I wrong. For whatever reason it had fake banana flavoring so it tasted like banana Laffy Taffy pretty much. It went straight in the trash 🗑️

Ordered iced coffee at 3:30pm on a Saturday and walked easy with a $4.50 ice water.

Never met such a rude cashier… Response to the owner: I used “cashier” to refer to the person who took my order — title aside, the issue was how rudely I was treated. I'm attaching my receipt at your shop as you seem to be in denial that this happened at your establishment. Your unnecessarily unprofessional and hostile response only reinforces my impression. Thankfully that says more than my review ever could for everyone here
