Alita Cafe
797 Grand St, Brooklyn, NY
Crema's Take
“Alita Cafe is a Brooklyn spot where the espresso really shines and the pastries (that almond croissant!) are genuinely worth the trip, but what keeps people coming back is the warmth—staff that actually cares, a cozy atmosphere that welcomes everyone including service dogs, and thoughtfully crafted breakfast sandwiches that locals rave about. It's the kind of place that feels like a genuine alternative to the chains, where your cappuccino arrives perfectly foamy and your weekend brisket or gluten-free egg sandwich arrives messy and delightful.”

Okay people, stop going to Starbucks. Come here instead. These folks actually care about you. Seriously though, the brisket sandwich we had was amazing. The coffee is great and reasonably priced. They support other small businesses in the city as well and told us about this awesome stamp shop in Manhattan. The people that run this place are soooo nice!
Walked by on my way to drop something off and stopped by right after as needed a morning coffee. Listen - I think this was the best almond croissant I have ever had that I'm writing about it! Was so good I was sad to finish it. Also the guy with the whiskey hat - so kind and joyous - he threw like little cheese(?) balls to a dog for fun treats which was so cute. Anyway, i will find a reason to make my package returns there if it means a cappuccino and a yummy almond croissant! Thanks!
What a wonderful place! The staff was so fun and the atmosphere extremely warm and inviting. The cappuccino was foamy and so smooth. They were even nice to my service pup and had no issues with us inside. Seems like the perfect place to be a regular. Will be back 110% also the in house baked goods where 🤌
Weekend breakfast sandwich on a gluten free scone was YUM!!!! Thick bacon. A delicious caramelized sauce. Big big egg. Hugely messy lol but delightful. My friend & I split it, I enjoyed the portion size of the half! Tbh gluten free scone didn’t even taste GF in the sandwich. Cute little spot too and friendly staff ❤️
Great great grand breakfast sandwich. And they have a gluten free biscuit, which makes the perfect base for a gluten free breakfast sandwich !! I think the breakfast sandwich is only available weekends. Super nice people. Sandwich was greasy but not too greasy. They cook the bacon in honey which makes it SO yummy. They use Canadian bacon which is such a fun surprise and so delish. A small area to sit. Will be returning 100%
