Crema's Take
“Nostrand's sleek, modern storefront and inviting patio make it an ideal Brooklyn spot to linger over espresso drinks and pastries, though execution can be inconsistent—some visitors rave about solid drip coffee and friendly service, while others report lukewarm specialty drinks and bitter matcha. It's best suited for leisurely mornings and laptop work rather than a quick caffeine fix, drawing a friendly crowd that appreciates the pleasant atmosphere over cutting-edge coffee craft.”
