Lips Cafe
1412 Nostrand Ave, Brooklyn, NY
Crema's Take
“Lips Cafe is a Brooklyn gem that opens late and welcomes you in with genuinely kind service and a carefully curated vibe complete with thoughtful music and vintage books to browse. Beyond solid traditional coffee, they've earned their reputation for creative signature drinks like their standout ginger lemonade and a surprisingly excellent food menu that spans from fresh salads to surprising hits like their Rasta pasta. It's the kind of unhurried neighborhood spot where you can actually settle in for hours, whether you're working on your laptop or meeting a friend, without feeling rushed.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Open late.
