Crema's Take
“Nili punches way above typical Brooklyn cafe weight with standout Israeli-inflected food—their falafel and shawarma are legitimately craveable, executed with care that most coffee shops don't bother with. The space itself is generous with both indoor and outdoor seating, making it equally good for a solo coffee session or lingering over brunch with friends and dogs. Fair warning: food quality can be inconsistent, but when they're on, they're really on.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly. Parking available.

Unfortunately the food is inconsistent. It can be good and then all of a sudden it can be really bad. One day I got the Sabich dish with the egg undercooked and heavily burnt eggplant that made me really sick.
Amazing cafe. The food is stellar and it is located conveniently next to the train. We have lunch from this place every time we’re in Brooklyn. We order the cauliflower shawarma hummus bowl every time (vegan). It’s a perfect lunch portion, delicious and flavorful. Comes with…
