Crema's Take
“Headrest's flat whites are legitimately some of the best in Brooklyn—perfectly balanced and creamy every single time—and their rotating menu of specialty drinks (matcha, chai, creative espresso concoctions) proves they're not resting on that reputation. The tiny, cozy space fills up quickly with regulars who come for the consistency as much as the coffee, and the generous breakfast sandwiches and pastries make it easy to linger over a second cup. If you're willing to fight for a seat, this is worth the detour.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too, good cold brew. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Cute place with a neat breakfast menu. The service is nice and the helpings are generous and their desserts are good. Unfortunately the food I had was not that tasty. The manager offered me a full refund backing their standards and offered me a chance to try it again. I will…
Went in with my GF and got an iced vanilla latte, an iced mocha and a couple of Carmelo’s sandwiches. The coffee is the best in Brooklyn. As a coffee snob this is a serious statement. The sandwiches were also ridiculously delicious. If you like great coffee/food/service this…
Their flat white is honestly unmatched. It’s perfectly balanced, creamy, and consistently excellent. They also offer great specialty drinks that feel thoughtful, not gimmicky. The vibe is exactly what you want from a neighborhood café: cozy, inviting, and always pleasant to…
