Crema's Take

Muse opens at 7am on weekdays, making it genuinely rare among Brooklyn cafes for early morning remote workers who need reliable wifi and a patient vibe. The homemade pastries and surprisingly ambitious menu—including daily savory specials—punch well above what you'd expect from the casual corner location, though portions and prices skew toward the premium side. It's the kind of neighborhood spot where regulars camp for hours and actually want to linger, not just grab and go.

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

No frills local cafe with surprisingly large menu and drinks selection including smoothies. The pastries are homemade and delicious. A few outside tables and decent inside seating options. Very Brooklyn. Pleasant and friendly service. Very kids friendly. Not very laptop friendly.

Great tucked away corner cafe to meet for a morning breakfast meeting with good coffee. They have a large selection of your traditional pastries but also the savory specials of the day like the spinach turnover is amazing. If you don’t see anything then they also offer made to…

Very nice local cafe with a cozy outdoor seating area. The offerings are surprisingly varied for such a small place, and the food is excellent with good sized portions. Their iced herbal tea was terrific and refreshing. I would only eat outdoors here since the indoor space is…
