Project Latte: a NYC cafe culture guideApril 7, 2013Little Zelda is a small cafe in Crown Heights. With super friendly staff, this is the kind of place where you end up talking to nearby patrons. Lots of baked goods, good coffee, great atmosphere. Read more
Nate SSeptember 17, 2017LITTLE Zelda. It looks like the perfect little date spot from the street... but it's way too tiny. Coffee is good, so stop by and take one to go.
Good mocha, patrons and service. Delicious apple turnover. Superb atmosphere. Cushy narrow bench and petit tables at first blush seem silly, however, they are great. I love this cozy café comme boîte.
Jennie KimAugust 9, 2013Try their home made pop tarts (like the pear chipotle or strawberry balsamic)! Their almond chocolate croissants are great too!
The quintessential neighborhood cafe, super small, super cozy, pulling inconsistent-but-still-pretty-good shots of Toby's Estate. Get your loaf of Blue Duck Bakery bread here.
Gabby SMay 1, 2015For people who like their coffee many ways but can appreciate holding the cream and sugar for an amazing roast - drink this coffee black. SO good.
tiny hipster cafe that i actually like! very community focused, I’ve seen some great apartment postings and is a place to catch up quietly with friends, luvers, or none of the above
PeggyJanuary 20, 2018Latte and sea salt chocolate chip cookie were both great. Friendly baristas! Limited seating.
Julia QiuSeptember 15, 2013Gem of a spot with the sweetest staff and delicious baked goods and coffee! One of my favorite spots in the neighborhood
nikkiDecember 9, 2016so-so coffee, but an admirably courteous staff that gives the cozy spot a friendly, neighborhood feel that's even better than a warm hug on a winter's day
Peter BoyceSeptember 8, 2018Great coffee. Friendly baristas. Cozy indoor and outdoor seating with plants
Ishmael VasquezSeptember 27, 2015Great little coffee shop with daily baked bread. Seating can be difficult to find bit day hello and people are nice to accommodate.
Megan RileyJanuary 20, 2014Get a chocolate pop tart. And don't be intimidated if there's a line when you walk in--they get through the line pretty fast despite the location being so small.
Taryl EliseAugust 24, 2018So cozy, great coffee and the bagels next door are out of this world. Try the pumpernickle with scallion cream cheese.
Nikolas FlorosAugust 28, 2014Great coffee and baked goods. Perfect place to stop in the morning when nibbling on a breakfast sandwich from the shop next door; Wedge.
Ashley ChanMay 10, 2017This cafe has a cute store front but I was surprised by how TINY it is inside. The interior decor is quite retro. A good selection of drinks but when I went, the food was all gone. Wifi available!
Christine FeasterMarch 18, 2014You can open a tab with this place on Square to pay for a friend or date without having to wait at the counter to cover their order--perfect if you need to switch laundry across the street.
Damian BayonaJune 30, 2015Very cozy coffee shop with some outdoor seating as well. A good local alternative to the Starbucks down the road.
jonas sarachiMay 1, 2012OK A) this is the best bread in New York City B) you can take any loaf they sell an ask for it to be toasted (!) C) try the speculoos spread
Amazing bread and super nice owners. Best new business on Franklin Ave. Highly recommended.
Arika LarsonFebruary 26, 2016great coffee and pastries. almost no space to sit, but more in the summer. love this spot.- go on Mondays for the best poptart selection (have the brown sugar cinnamon flavor toasted!)....add an iced soy latte.
Sibel AkcekayaApril 20, 2017corner table is very comfortable to send some emails and read a good book
This is the greatest lil cafe in this solar system, and everyone who works here is a lovely human being.
Emily WilsonSeptember 6, 2016If you're not in the mood for coffee, they brew a mean hibiscus iced tea.
Marc MayerFebruary 21, 2015Solid brew, real nice staff. They use Toby's Estate beans, which are great.
Cheddar chive biscuit. Have an "Oh, yes, of course!" ready when the barista asks if you'd like it warmed.
In addition to the rest of the tips, take a moment to listen to the excellent soundtrack of 1920 music playing in the background.
- Get a fancy doughnut with your tasty coffee in this cozy spot.
If you want something sweet get the iced maple late with tons of maple :)
In my opinion, the cutest of the Crown Heights hipster coffee shops
Andrei KryssovNovember 28, 2015A big +1 for the peanut butter cookies. Like omg good. And I don't say omg.
- amazing 'burnt sugar espresso shortbread' and great lattes!
