Burly Coffee

Crema's Take

This espresso-focused Brooklyn gem treats coffee like an art form, with baristas who are genuinely passionate about bean selection and shot pulling—you'll taste the difference in every cup. Beyond their stellar traditional and specialty drinks, Burly creates a welcoming third space with ample natural light, dog-friendly vibes (complete with treats for your pup), and consistently good vegan pastry options that make it easy to linger over work or conversation.

Hands down the best espresso and coffee. You can tell they consider coffee to be an art and are very specific with the beans the use and how they pull a shot of espresso. My only complaint is their location closer to my apartment closed but I walk 30 minutes just to get a coffee here. They also have a frozen oat milk cold brew which is to die for.

Burly is the best!! We buy their beans all the time. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. It’s a great atmosphere to work. They allow dogs inside and even have little treats for them. I especially love that they print the NYT crossword for customers to take. Big fan!!

Such a great spot to get some work done. The cottage core latte with earl grey syrup was fantastic. Also love that they typically have a vegan pastry option or 2 (earlier in the morning).

Bad coffee and the worst service I’ve ever experienced in the city. I asked the female barista behind the register what she thought was the best latte and was recommended the pumpkin spice latte because the syrup is housemade. I then asked how many pumps or ounces of syrup they typically put and she said “i don’t know, a normal amount” ??? I told her I don’t like sugary drinks and requested it half sweet. When I tasted it all I could taste was syrupy milk so I asked again if it was made half sweet and the male barista who I believe made the drink looked right at me but did not answer, and the barista who took my order said yes. I responded that it’s very sweet and she ignored me. I went back in line to order an extra shot to try and salvage the drink and the barista rang it up as $3.99. I asked if this was the cost of adding a shot to the ($7.75) drink I had already ordered and at that point the male barista interrupted and said yes. I responded politely that I’ll pass and the male barista responded “well coffee costs money!” As a current bartender and former barista I was shocked by the lack of professionalism and care by both of them. Avoid this place because they’ll probably make your drink carelessly and not offer to remake it if it’s incorrect or bad!!!

Coffee oasis 👍👍 A terrific venue serving up mostly coffee, espresso, & a unique blend of drinks. A good spot to relax, gather your thoughts, reply emails, or chat. High ceilings with ample lighting & shrubs. PROS 1) good coffee 2) comfortable & relaxing 3) fast service 4) variety of drinks CONS 1) limited pastry options 2) regular 12 oz coffee is $4 plus tax
