Crema's Take
“IXV runs one of Brooklyn's most genuinely committed zero-waste operations, where you're encouraged to bring your own cup or mug and every to-go container is compostable—it's the kind of place that actually walks the walk instead of just talking about sustainability. The espresso is smooth and well-executed, the staff radiates real enthusiasm, and the reclaimed wood interior creates a genuinely pleasant space to linger, though the drip coffee is just okay and you'll want to budget for that almond milk upcharge. Go here if you care about environmental impact and want a friendly neighborhood spot; go elsewhere if you're just after the best coffee in the city.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit spot, outdoor seating. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu.

The staff here are easily the friendliest in Brooklyn. I love how energetic they are in encouraging reusable plate ware and mugs and their to-go products can all be composted! Only show up here with good Vibes!

Drip coffee’s just above average. Nice seating area outside with planters. You have to pay 40 cents extra for a to go cup. If you get a large coffee to stay in the shop, it’s maybe 60% the size of the actual large to go — bring your own mug if you want the proper amount of…
The espresso is very smooth and delicious. The 2 dollar up charge for Almond milk is a little much. But over all, worth it.
