Techne Kafe
410 7th Ave, Brooklyn, NY
Crema's Take
“Sergio's genuine warmth behind the counter makes Techne Kafe feel like an actual neighborhood gathering spot rather than just another coffee shop, and regulars swear by his milk-steaming technique—a rare skill executed with real precision. The vibe is genuinely relaxed, perfect for lingering over a cup or settling in with a laptop, though quality can be inconsistent depending on who's pulling your shot. If you're in the area and value hospitality and solid espresso drinks over flashy roasting credentials, this is worth a visit.”

Mediocre coffee, mediocre pastries. Owner is unfriendly, kind of rude. Bland lo fi house music that sounds like it’s AI generated. There are much better coffee shops all around, go to one of those!
I adore this coffee shop! Sergio is incredible. It has become a morning staple for me and friends. A place to hang, chat, and enjoy the best cup of coffee in the hood
The coffee here is good, and the barista really knew how to steam milk, which I find is rarely the case in the US. And he was super nice :)
Fantastic Cafe off of 13th street and 7th Avenue. Relaxing environment great for studying, reading, and or laptop work. Techne Kafe has a wide range of hot & iced drinks as well as empanadas, quiches, croissant sandwiches, and lots of pastries like cookies, danishes, or tarts.…
Very friendly staff! I got a delicious chai latte with a shot of espresso and a cookie for my toddler. She loved the cookie and I loved the latte! Update: stopped in and grabbed an absolutely delicious iced pistachio rose latte and avocado hummus sandwich. Both were perfection!
