Lovebirds
211 Nassau Ave, Brooklyn, NY
Crema's Take
“Lovebirds is a beloved Brooklyn gem that doubles as both a stellar coffee destination and an intimate event space, where hosts consistently rave about hosting everything from birthday parties to micro-wedding receptions. The kitchen shines with creative sandwiches like their signature ham and cheese with hot honey, alongside standout pastries and full breakfast options, while the espresso cheesecake and other house-made desserts suggest real culinary ambition beyond typical café fare. It's the kind of cozy, family-friendly spot where you can linger over a carefully made coffee or gather 50 people for something special, with the kind of warm service that makes you want to keep it to yourself but can't help spreading the word.”

Lovebirds was the perfect spot to have my son's first birthday party! We served hors d'oeuvres and dessert which were all amazing! The ceviche and the espresso cheesecake were my favorite! I loved that we didn't feel crowded in the space but it also felt cozy. I will definitely come back and would love to use the space again in the future for another event!
Came for my friend’s bday lunch. Such a cute spot, and the sandwiches were so yummy!! - Ham & cheese sando: 9/10, loved the hot honey - Egg & cheese sando: 8/10, also yummy but not as good as the ham & cheese sando - Wine: yum!
My best friend and I hosted our birthday party here and had the most amazing time! It fits about 50 people indoors, so it's the perfect intimate setting to bring together friends and family. They have a great wine list and delicious small plates. The staff is friendly and communicative - they made sure all of our guests felt right at home. They kindly let us bring our own decorations & play our own music. It was overall a lovely experience and I would definitely have another event here. Highly highly recommend booking Lovebirds for your next event!
My partner and I hosted our post city hall micro wedding reception and dinner at Lovebirds and had a wonderful experience. We are not Greenpoint natives, so we came across Lovebirds online, liked the look of the space, and decided to go have dinner to try their food. We were very impressed with our dinner and wine that night so we immediately emailed them to book. James and the team were great to work with- very easy going and responsive. They handled our party of 18 for dinner with many dietary restrictions with ease. Their menu has great vegetarian and celiac friendly options. We opted for a gluten free cake from @abalconyinbrooklyn (Kaitlyn Wong) and the Lovebirds team helped box up leftovers for us at the end of the night. After dinner, we had 20-30 additional guests join us to toast our nuptials which the space accommodated well and their charcuterie and hummus platters were perfect for cocktail mingling. The team also allowed us to add floral and decor elements to the space which was important to us as my partner is an events florist and designer and I used to be a wedding planner. The space looked great, we had so much fun, everyone loved the food and drinks. 10/10 would recommend! Photos by Kirra Cheers
