Willoughby General
518A Willoughby Ave, Brooklyn, NY
Crema's Take
“Willoughby General feels less like a coffee shop and more like a beloved neighborhood living room, where baristas like Lauren and Brian remember regulars and dog-friendly patio vibes encourage lingering over excellent matcha lattes and quality breakfast sandwiches. Beyond the carefully crafted drinks and pastries, it's genuinely a multi-purpose spot—part café, part gift shop with candles and treats, part community anchor where locals pop in daily like it's their front porch.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Dog friendly.
