    The staff here are always so lovely! Great cold brew and if you're lucky enough to grab a spot by a power outlet, a great place to work for a while.

    Cozy, laid-back café with a great music selection and even greater coffee!! Baristas are super chill, and they have a yard and outdoor seating in the back!

    This Bedford strip cafe has cornered the market on lush macchiatos, prepared brevé style as per the smart choice of their roaster—49th Parallel Coffee Roasters from Vancouver, BC.

    Vegan options! The Bruce is wonderful and the espresso always delicious. The ambiance is also great. 10/10

    Has been & remains my favorite coffee shop in Williamsburg. Small, chill, with great music and they make their iced teas to order. Never feels cramped unlike other ones nearby.

    Nice place to get some work done with a great cup of joe. Only, they kinda dislike you for doing it (the work thing, that is). You're not allowed to have your laptop out for more than one hour.

    There are cozy outdoor seats in the backyard. One of few cafes that are open after 7 pm on weekdays, which most of cafes close at 7 pm.

    The Espresso selection has switched from 49th Parallel's amazing "epic" blend to their "old school" The new blend is substantially inferior! Please switch back to Epic. So flat, no acid not sweet.

    Great, strong coffee. I enjoy their events - open mics, tarot readings, etc. A very cool place. Not pretentious, which is rare for WB.

    The bench right outside is possibly the best place to people watch the fashionable hordes of hipsters and Europeans that constantly roam Bedford Ave.

    They use 49th Parallel beans, which is a big deal up in Vancouver. Get the banana bread and check out the backyard.

    Great backyard patio, and really solid macchiatos. Not the most knowledgeable staff and no "10 cups, 1 free" type of deal. But def a part of my morning routine.

    Awesome hot drinks will chase away the fall & winter cold. The wifi is fast (weekdays only). The people watching is better on Bedford but their sister location Modca is a less crowded option.

    The previous cafes foursquare was mixed with the new cafes foursquare. Cafe Beit has a much higher rating. Foursquare needs to fix this.

    After two stops during a mid-day bar crawl you'll need some coffee and the fresh Java roast coffee is the right pick me up.

    It can be a little claustrophobic when it's busy, but the internet is speedy and reliable, the coffees and teas are solid, and the staff is friendly.
