Crema's Take
“The Black Flamingo's hidden garden in the back is a rare slice of tranquility in Red Hook, making it worth the detour even if you're just passing through on your way elsewhere in Brooklyn. They nail the neighborhood coffee shop formula with Stone Street Coffee, genuinely good pastries and sandwiches, and a vintage art deco atmosphere that feels authentically lived-in rather than designed. This is the kind of place where locals linger over breakfast and laptop work thrives, so expect a warm welcome but plan to stick around longer than you thought.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

See all on Google →There are not many places to enjoy a coffee in this charming bucolic little seaside town. This cafe was a welcome little stop with lovely treats and a warm and welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff. I love it here!
Darling Neighborhood Coffee Shop with a little vintage/art deco vibe. A seemingly neighborhood fixture with a selection of sandwiches, pastries and quiche. They are serving Stone Street Coffee.
A Cozy Brooklyn coffee shop that transports you back to simpler times. Staff, food, and coffee are great. An added bonus is the hidden garden in the back. A must visit in the area.
Stopped in here to have a quick bite before continuing my day in Red Hook. I had the Cheddar, Chive Scone, which was good. (Didn't really seem like a Scone or a Biscuit, more like a combo, either way the taste was good). The guys working their were nice. I liked the space. …
Great Red Hook coffee spot, wide food and sandwich selection. The waffle is surprisingly delicious even without syrup. The baristas are very nice and the coffee is decent! Plenty of spots indoors and outdoors as well as an abundance of outlets.
