Ciao Bella Coffee
284 Clarkson Ave, Brooklyn, NY
Crema's Take
“Tucked into Brooklyn, this espresso-focused café pulls shots so smooth and balanced they'll have you coming back for the ritual alone, whether you're meditating over your first cup or settling in with your pup for hours. Beyond the stellar coffee, Ciao Bella has cultivated a genuinely cozy neighborhood vibe where regulars become family and pastries like their legendary ham croissants (which sell out by afternoon) pair perfectly with their impressive matcha program. It's the kind of place where the experience—warm service, great music, and a space that welcomes everyone from laptop workers to Bernedoodles—feels as carefully crafted as the drinks themselves.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Dog friendly.

The cutest little cafe with the coziest vibes and best matcha I’ve had in a minute. I also tried the pumpkin loaf, which was a bit too dense but had a great flavor. From what I’ve seen, their coffee looks great too and I’ll definitely be back to try other items. A must visit…
Overall rating: 4.8 THE HAM CROISSANTS ARE WORTH IT. Everyone knows it. That’s why they sell out by the afternoon 🥲😭 the doughnut plant donuts are not. You can get the same ones a dollar cheaper at Ideal Market. I’m still trying to go during their night activities. If you…
Stopped in for a hot chocolate on a cold day. While the hot chocolate was okay, the experience was excellent. Service was great, and inside the music, decorations, and company was a source of great contentment. There is a disco ball on the high ceiling. A great stereo whose…
