The 3 bean chili is delicious: stewed veggies rich with hearty beans and cumin spice. Can be vegan, but I love it with melted cheese and buttery croutons.
Benjamin HealyAugust 18, 2014Tarragon Chicken Salad on a Pretzel Croissant was delicious, as was the blueberry muffin and iced coffee. Wifi password "buycoffee," which you should. Nice spot for breakfast or lunch near the park.
Gabriel HayesMarch 13, 2016The Avocado BLT weekend special with chipotle mayo, scrambled eggs and mac n cheese is awesome. Such an awesome breakfast dish.
Project Latte: a NYC cafe culture guideJune 16, 2013Tip of the Tongue takes over the old K-Dog & Dune Buggy space, bringing a badly needed cafe to Prospect Lefferts Gardens. Wonderful baked goods from this catering company's brick & mortar outgrowth.
- Gabriel HayesMarch 28, 2015The Cold Stare is great. Cold brew coffee with a shot of espresso. Basically an iced red eye.
ShonaOctober 23, 2015Welcoming staff but a little pricey for the neighborhood. Loved the coffee and the chocolate chip cookies. Skip the cinnamon roll. $10 minimum to use a debit or credit card, no ATM onsite.
They're soy lattes are really good as is their food. Try the bacon scone. Also the dog window is great for if you're on your way to the park :-)
Tip well. These guys deserve it. The service is awesome and this place adds much needed charm to this nicely changing neighborhood
KarinaJuly 5, 2015The lavender soy latte is a little cup of heaven! And the bacon Gruyere scone is the perfect accompaniment!
Erin NoelNovember 21, 2013The walk-up window is the clutch when taking a stroll with your pups. Also, happily part with your $$ for the ginger and bacon gruyere scones. Do it.
Wayne BennettNovember 8, 2014They use good coffee for their drinks. Owner knowledgeable and friendly. Monthly supper club. Worth checking out.
Samantha ShaoJuly 21, 2014The wifi password is buycoffee, which you definitely do. ;) it's a lovely place to work or read!- Thomas GlendinningJanuary 19, 2015The salmon, cucumber and cream cheese bagel was great! The Rolling Stones playing in the background was a gas too.
- Gabriel HayesMarch 13, 2016Best place to grab a coffee and a tasty breakfast in the Prospect Lefferts Gardens area.
- Wayne BennettNovember 10, 2014Went back today and had two cappuccinos to check, if they tasted as good as day 1. The answer is yes. They use a coffee called 40 weight. Yum.
Ashley GammieMarch 10, 2015Great coffee place right by the park. Iced coffees, pour overs, and the like.
I really like their vegetarian chili but that little pretzel roll was the best thing about my breakfast this morning.
Their bacon gruyère scone is like crack. I want one everytime I pass by. also great service.
Yummy baked goods, made on-site, and great breads from an outside baker. Bacon Gruyere scones!
Jeanna LaquindanumJune 29, 2013Bacon gruyere scone is like a better southern biscuit with bacon bits inside.
Judy LuoSeptember 18, 2015awesome coffee, breakfast food, and pastries. good place to get work done.
Ham, egg and cheese on a croissant for breakfast, stop by the sidewalk window for a quick coffee.
Scrumptious breakfast sandwiches, great coffee and they are super dog-friendly!
William HubaMay 3, 2015Pretty good cold brew, and it smells like yeast from all of the baking which is awesome.
- Jeanna LaquindanumJune 29, 2013Red velvet cake slice is everything. Better than Cake Man Raven... I swear!
Only place in the 'hood to but fresh bread, but $4 per baguette is pretty steep.

"super cute brand new spot in the neighborhood. It's a tea/coffee house slash event/art space. Order the banana milk coffee 👌🇯🇵"

"The all day cafe NYC needs. Elevated, adventurous takes on seasonal “sandwiches” and “salads”. The pan bagnat is like the best tuna Niçoise salad on a pillowy soft roll. Bright farmhouse in BK vibes."

"Chai is so good and fun late night spot to hang out!"
