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.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. Slow-sit spot. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

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…
