Miss Barb’s Bk
1038 Nostrand Ave, Brooklyn, NY
Crema's Take
“Miss Barb's is a chameleon of a Brooklyn café that earns its cozy reputation by day as a laptop-friendly workspace with excellent chai tea lattes and attentive service, then transforms into an intimate evening wine bar with a rotating list that keeps regulars coming back. The shop's soul comes through in its welcoming family energy—literally run by Miss Barb and her son—creating the kind of place where you feel equally comfortable settling in for a four-hour work session or lingering over a carefully chosen glass of wine and live events.”

I’ve been to Miss Barb’s twice now and it’s such a cute, cozy spot. It’s perfect for co-working or getting out of the house for a few hours. Both times I ordered the chai tea latte and it was great. They also have a small selection of desserts and will warm them up for you. I tried the oatmeal raisin cookie and it was really good. In the mornings it isn’t too busy, which I love. I can see it getting busier later with people looking for a comfortable place to work without being stuck at home. It is also a great spot for a coffee date. The tables are small and intimate, and although the space itself is not large, it feels warm and inviting. After a certain time it transitions into a bar serving wine, beer, and other drinks. I have not experienced that side yet, but I am definitely curious. They will definitely be seeing me again.
Great little spot…cozy atmosphere and friendly and welcoming bar tender (Miss Barb’s son). It’s a coffee shop by day that transforms into a bar in the evening, which was a pleasant surprise. I wish they had beer on tap, but the selection of canned beers is solid. I’ll definitely be coming back. Also great vibes and music.
Overall rating: 4.6 This place popped up on my FYP for a good night out in the neighborhood. Rather than a late night I activity, I went for an after work drink spot. I didn’t realize it was also a coffee spot. Def want to come back during the day. The spot is nice but it wasn’t what I was expecting. I did go early. But it was very surprised there wasn’t any happy hour. It was a lot more mellow than I was expecting and with the very little people there, the music was so loud. Tried the beef patty too & it was alright. Def needed an accompanying sauce. The staff was very friendly but not sure if I’d go again. Doesn’t seem like the place for me.
Amazing owners and a great vibe. The wine list is rotating so you can always expect to try something new and tasty. I love that they are always hosting different type of events. Definitely the go to wine bar/cafe in Crown Heights!!
Good vibes. There’s plenty of people sitting and working, even taking video calls. There’s some outlets in the back. The barista sets the tone and runs the shop. There was only one staff member when I was there on a Thursday morning and she held it down. At first, I didn’t like my Matcha latte because I thought it was too much Matcha powder, but I stirred it up and I was like ‘you know what that’s actually pretty good.’ I drank my drink on the couch, people watched for a bit and went on about my day. great little spot. Only con, there’s no food, just pastries.
