Crema's Take

VEX El Cafe wins you over with genuinely warm staff and creative signature drinks like their standout Nutella latte that taste as good as the baristas are friendly. The quaint space has a cozy, nautical-inspired vibe that's perfect for a slow afternoon with a pastry, though fair warning—the acoustics mean conversation carries, so come ready to chat or bring headphones. If you're hunting for a quiet laptop spot in Brooklyn that actually has personality and doesn't feel like a chain, this is worth the detour.

What to expect

Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu.

The atmosphere was relaxing, and everything appeared clean. I think the decor and nautical style was interesting. I ordered a whole wheat bagel with cream cheese and pumpkin butter and a large coffee, but I do think they were a little over priced for what I received. The coffee…
