Crema's Take
“Hungry Ghost keeps things refreshingly analog with no wifi, which means you'll actually sit with your coffee rather than your laptop—a rare gift in Brooklyn. Their Stumptown espresso hits right with solid flavor and body, though they can be inconsistent with milk ratios on specialty drinks, and the pastry game is decent rather than destination-worthy. It's a genuine neighborhood spot for actual conversation, just go in knowing seating is tight and there's no bathroom.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, matcha and tea options too, good cold brew. Slow-sit spot. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Parking available.

We called in here for a flat white. The coffee actually had good flavour, (they used Stumptown beans) but the flat white had way too much foam to pass as a flat white. Also was presented in a takeaway cup when we were seated inside. Service was pleasant enough & liked the retro…
No wifi (this is a benefit!) and lovely people. Pastries are squarely ok. Avoid the scones if you like real scones, these are a bit "puffy".
Our first stop of the morning to grab coffee. No restrooms for clients. No wifi. The matcha was not the greatest. Coffee was good and strong. Seating options are limited and there was a high traffic of strollers and crying babies. If you’re just passing by and need a beverage…
I’ve been here a couple of times and their chocolate croissant is consistently fresh and yum, their coffee is also good, got a flat white. They have a side area for milk, sugar, for water which is by the way amazing, efficient. I love their interior, the staff were nice too.
