LocallectualJune 25, 2012Fun Park Slope local coffee shop and roastery. Delicious, strong cold-brew on a hot summer day. Smooth and sweet, perfect mid-afternoon pick-me-up. Locally-made pastries too. Eat Local Brooklyn! Read more
Project Latte: a NYC cafe culture guideMay 14, 2013One of the first specialty roasters in NYC, this Park Slope, Brooklyn shop has been overshadowed by the flood of new coffee of late but will be coming back strong w/ a Gowanus roastery this year. Read more
Doraly PantaleonOctober 18, 2014Mocha latte with an extra shot is my fav! And maple latte available for the fall season! Really strong, great tasting coffee
Matthew HurstJanuary 22, 2013I usually prefer small cafes, but this coffeehouse has earned it's reputation among the best in NYC. I usually grab a bag of beans to take home when I visit Gorilla Coffee.
Find a CofficeApril 17, 2013Great coffee and plenty of space to set up shop. The vibe is lively, so if you are planning to stay for a while and get some work done, you should probably bring your headphones. Read more
DevartApril 21, 2013Nice crowd of people. Got their China Long Jing Green Tea, talk about hot... Tried their apple danish; which one of their many pastry selections. It was delicious. Would definitely go back again.
NearSay NYCJuly 26, 2011N-Sider Favorite: They have beans from all over the globe to choose from, ample seating, wi-fi,and a staff that really knows what they're doing; its a café that hits all the sweet spots.
Napua S-GNovember 26, 2012The coffee place for coffee drinkers, specially if you are visiting from Europe and are used to strong stuff. Punk music and ska, so not a real relaxed ambiance
Matthew LeWinterJanuary 16, 2012My favorite coffee in the world. My wife and I have actually considered taking it with us abroad. Been in PS 9 years and would drink no other. Take some beans home to try.
Royce WynnFebruary 10, 2016Coffee is good, nice comfortable set up. Lots of chairs and tables, you won't be crouched.
Natasha MoriniOctober 18, 2015My new neighbourhood coffee spot. The works are very nice and the coffee shop is every clean. Wifi password is at the register.
New York HabitatFebruary 27, 2014In the charming neighborhood of Park Slope, this coffee shop serves a strong espresso and fresh coffee beans to compliment your busy morning!
Megan GilbrideApril 29, 2016Great Latte, go for the large so you can have extra milk steamed to pillowy perfection
Ms HeleneDecember 17, 2012Strong coffee with robust flavor. No extra cost for soy milk so $3.50 for a small soy latte. Cosy seating and efficient but not super friendly service. Wifi.
Some of the baristas come off icy, but give it time. You'll break 'em in. The mocha, hot or iced is worth it.
Matthew AndersonMarch 9, 2013With the mass of people, it has the vibe of an airport waiting area, substitute CNN for loud indie rock. Strong coffee, as they all say. No outlets for laptops. Wifi pass "k!ngkong".
Marina Noelia CabaneMay 23, 2016Come here for work, coffee is great and wifi too. Not too sure about the snacks
Lori LuoNovember 16, 2014A good place to stop in for a quick coffee or latte. Note that it gets pretty packed on weekends.
Jen BallOctober 2, 2011Gorilla gets No.1 in my book for the taste of the espresso. The apathetic, too-hip-to-serve-you vibe almost landed it in second. Almost. The coffee's that good.
The Corcoran GroupOctober 1, 2010Holy crowds Bat Man! However, if you need a STRONG pick-me-up, get a house coffee or their awesome iced coffee.
Quintessential BK coffee place. Make sure you've eaten before drinking a tall black, or you'll get the shakes for sure.- Ms HeleneDecember 16, 2012Excellent coffee, dark, strong, well-foamed milk at the right temperature. No extra charge for soy milk either. $3.50 for a small soy latte.
rich masioJanuary 10, 2015I got a free cup of coffee for buying a bag of beans. A thick, tasty coffee.
Try to grab a seat on the outside red benches with a friend and a coffee of your choice to relax as Park Slope passes by.
Alex DamashekAugust 28, 2011One of the better spots in Park Slope for a good, strong coffee. You can't go wrong with the maple latte either.
rosie (siman) yakobNovember 2, 2012Their maple latte is the perfect fall drink. In the neighborhood bc of Sandy but sad this place isn't by my real apartment!
Nikolas FlorosMarch 22, 2015Great strong coffee of all varieties, but I was severely disappointed with the chai.
Often go here to pickup beans to use at home. The Sumatran ones are particularly good. Had a latte here twice and both were awful so I stay away from those now.
Jolie KuminJuly 2, 2011They've taken a lot of stuff off the menu since I've been here last :( but its still my favorite coffee place ever. Iced mocha is heaven in a cup.
Samuel OsorioApril 13, 2015Coffee is good, and staff is cool!, the only disadvantage is that you can't charge your laptop, they have locked outlets :(
- A large latte has the same amount of espresso as a small. So get a small or make sure to get an extra shot with your large.
Talk to and tip your baristas they really are sweet and friendly!! DON'T FORGET TO TIP!!
Elizabeth MitchellMay 16, 2010Best beans in the nabe as far as I can tell. Their house coffee will put hair on your chest. (that means it's strong) (but in a good way)
Switched to pre packaged cold brew, so if you order an iced coffee, you get a tetrapak juice box with a plastic cap and a cup full of ice.
the Capps here are to die for. well worth the line or the wait. go after 6pm, and you'll not wait long.
Mucous LavenderJune 7, 20128 lucky children will find a golden gorilla pubis hidden in their cup of gorilla coffee or tea!
The muffins in this place are just incredible. I sometimes come here just for them.
Delicious coffee, but $4 for an iced coffee is a little extreme.- I've never been given a bad recommendation by the staff when ordering whole beans for myself or as a gift.
Sara 🌈⚔🍾September 4, 2014The staff was closing up but they happily sold me coffee. Super sweet crew.

"Probably the best avocado toast that I’ve ever had. Well-picked, ripe avocado with a poached egg. Complemented by a traditional strong cappuccino with a spicy roast as you’d expect from NY. Excellent!"
