Crema's Take
“The staff at Tete-a-Tete actually cares whether you're happy—Vasil and the team have built a reputation for attentiveness that outshines most Brooklyn cafes, making even a casual coffee visit feel genuinely welcoming. Beyond the service, the Russian-leaning menu delivers serious comfort food (the steak omelette and syrniki are standouts) and reliable espresso, giving you real reasons to linger over breakfast or lunch. It's the rare cafe where regulars come for the people as much as the pastries.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

The food and ambiance were really good. But the service was completely terrible. Every time I came, the waiters were really rude. Everything was great except the service.
Amazing place with a Russian twist. The food was amazingly delicious and fresh. I came specifically from Staten Island to this place. DJ Daniel is awesome. The Borsch and Pelmeni were out of this world fresh and delicious. The drinks were made to perfection.…
Absolutely love this café! The food is always fresh and delicious, the staff are friendly and attentive, and the café club perks are awesome. The DJ at night is stunning and plays the best sets-great music, great vibes, every time.
