Crema's Take
“Fontainhas is a cozy Indian café in Brooklyn that's earned serious devotion for its cutting chai—reviewers can't stop raving about the perfectly balanced masalas and spices that keep them coming back. Beyond the exceptional tea, you'll find a charming, softly lit space with comfortable booth seating that's perfect for lingering over house sandwiches, cakes, and a full menu spanning breakfast through dinner, though arriving off-peak hours is wise since the intimate room fills up quickly. The warm service and relaxing ambiance make it an ideal neighborhood spot whether you're meeting friends, working on your laptop, or simply unwinding near Brooklyn Bridge Park.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

The house sandwhich was amazing, The bhel salad was a little bitter for my liking and the cutting chai was very well made. Service was extremely slow as it took over 35 mins to get our food but the place itself has a really cool vibe to it and is nicely decorated.
Very airy space with comfortable booth and cushion seating to work or chill. There’s a full cafe and bar menu, including beer, wine, daytime pastries and plated food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Best masala chai I’ve had. On the pricier side but worth it. Small shop with…
