Crema's Take

“Bittersweet pulls off that rare trick of nailing both espresso drinks and pastries without compromise—reviewers consistently praise the cappuccinos and flat whites as the best in the neighborhood, while the croissants and scones justify a detour on their own. It's a no-frills counter operation where you grab and go (or take your coffee across the street), but the owner's genuine local presence and genuinely friendly staff make it feel like an actual neighborhood fixture rather than another generic spot. Hit this place for exceptional coffee and pastries at honest prices, especially if you want to skip the pretension and just get something really good.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused. A quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly.

Best cappuccino and flat white in the neighborhood. All the pastries are great. A+ ham sandwich. Staff is very friendly and the owner is local! No seating inside, just take your stuff across the street to the park and enjoy the day

Great cold brew for really good price (under $5) especially compare to other coffee shop in Brooklyn. Long line but the line move quickly. The cashier was not the friendliest but would come back again just for the coffee.

Craved for some fresh pastries on a cold winter morning, so popped in after walking my dog and got a scone. It was great - sizable and baked with fresh berries. Would come back again and again!
