Crema's Take

“Onderdonk serves an unexpectedly sophisticated Kopi Bajigur—coffee spiked with pandan, ginger, and palm sugar—that signals this isn't your standard Brooklyn cafe, backed up by pillowy coconut buns that regulars are already obsessed with. The bare-bones, Southeast Asian-influenced space feels intentionally sparse rather than underdeveloped, creating an intimate spot where the coffee and pastries are genuinely the main event. If you want to disappear into a cozy neighborhood gem without the laptop crowd, this Ridgewood spot is worth hunting down.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused, good cold brew. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

I came to Onderonk Coffee in Ridgewood at the recommendation of a friend who spoke highly of their pastries. Unfortunately, my experience here was nothing short of appalling. It was a Saturday afternoon, near closing time, and the shop was completely empty except for our group.…

Hidden gem! It's a small cafe that you would miss if you're not looking for it. I was looking for it and drove right past it. I got a latte and coconut bun. The coffee was good but the coconut bun was AMAZING! If you are anywhere near this place you need to come and check it…

Came by for the first time and immediately liked the ambiance. A subtle mix between historical and foreign aesthetic Iced Americano was solid but the Bun w/ Turkey Ham & Cheese is Incredible! Place speaks for it self. Good place to write or an intimate conversation.

Can't wait for this to be open during the week so it can be my new home away from home. Cozy, friendly, great coffee and delicious coconut buns.
