Boyfriend Co-Op
1157 Myrtle Ave, Brooklyn, NY
Crema's Take
“Boyfriend Co-Op is a cooperatively-run cafe, bar, and event space that feels like stepping into a friend's eclectic living room, with moody lighting, vintage furniture, and every corner begging for a photo. Beyond excellent coffee and pastries from local bakers, they pour creative cocktails and host live music, making it equally perfect for a solo work session, date night, or hosting an event with community-minded folks. With queer ownership, affordable pricing, and a genuinely welcoming vibe, it's become a beloved third space for Brooklyn's creative and LGBTQ+ communities.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Open late. Wifi.
