Crema's Take
“The "Island Breeze" cold brew is worth the trip alone—a perfectly balanced specialty drink that actually delivers both flavor and caffeine without feeling gimmicky. Sweetbee's tiny Dean Street location moves with impressive speed despite constant lines, and their matcha rivals some of the city's dedicated tea specialists. Fair warning: this is a premium-priced spot where a large drip costs like a small elsewhere, but the attentive baristas and genuinely good pastries justify it if you're not counting pennies.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit spot, quick-grab. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Dog friendly.

See all on Google →Such a sweet tiny cafe, stopped by this morning while walking my dog and the team was so attentive and fast even though they had a line out the door, literally. The male barista suggested their fall drink menu, Hawthorne Harvest, which was so good! Defintely coming back.
I can’t get over how much they charge at this place. The large drip coffee would be considered a small at most places. Pastries looked good but at $6 for a coffee house croissant? Coffee is not bad, and it’s pretty chill inside. Just hard to enjoy when a drip coffee and small…
I stopped by this morning (10/10) around 11am and its such a cute little cafe with a simple menu. The barista was really sweet. One of the best matcha’s Ive had in a while! Only thing is that they dont show up on apple maps when you type in cafe so it might be a miss for apple…
I stopped by Sweetbee a few weeks ago, and really enjoyed their "Island Breeze" cold brew drink! It was the perfect balance between a yummy summer drink and that much needed cold brew kick to get through the day. Great atmosphere, great music, cool staff, and will be a staple…
A visit to Brooklyn will never be complete without having coffee at Sweetbee. Apart from the classy yet casual interiors, their coffee always tastes amazing and their baristas are always friendly and accommodating. I honestly think this is the coolest cafe in BK! Highly…
