An incredible café and bakery. Oprah actually voted their chocolate chip cookie one of her favorite things and it is certainly one of mine too. Aside from the pastries, they have a great brunch menu too. This is my favorite location because of the hanging tables!

All-day Lebanese café with amazing food. Love the mezze plates, pitas and falafel. They also have a backyard with tons of greenery that makes you feel like you’re in another city!

Bright Side is not just an Australian café to brunch at and sip on coffee, but it’s ALSO a wine and cocktail bar with happy hour. It’s a great place to meet up with friends or work out of — there’s outlets! The food is excellent too and it’s always very lively.

The Kyoto-based specialty coffee chain has made its way to New York and I could not be more excited. They pride themselves on coffee and design and it’s clear. You can’t beat the views of the Brooklyn Bridge either!

Women-owned, great pastries and one of my favorite avocado toasts. Not to mention, this amazing wallpaper that makes the space so unique. They also have another location in Williamsburg.

An award-winning café and bakery. It’s small and quaint but the cookies are mighty. They also sell amazing cakes and cupcakes, with the Brooklyn Blackout Cake being the most popular.

In addition to coffee, they have great smoothies, cold-pressed juices and healthy foods. I love the design here and pillows.
