Terrific local coffee shop with excellent coffee, good hot and cold options, and a decent breakfast and lunch menu. Local staff with friendly vibe and great music. Caters to all. Lots of co-working during the day in the back. Fast WiFi.

Awesome food, good portion, little natural light and bass-heavy playlist (so not ideal for hardcore studying). I'll come back again. They have free condoms in the bathroom, in case you are interested. Take care!

I am not from the neighborhood, so I found this place through google. I don't get how this place gets 300 sth reviews and 4.5 star. This is how my cappuccino looks like. No latte art (and this still ok). The drink was way too hot n it burnt my tongue. Wont come back again.

Good music, good atmosphere to do work and let’s not forget that it’s black-owned 🙌🏾

Great coffee spot. Good vibes on the inside with lots of space and good music. Seating can be pretty limited as it's usually busy. The grits-kale-egg cup is fantastic, but keep in mind that food stops at 2PM.

We ordered a bunch of dishes: Samosa, Gobi Manchurian, chicken tika masala, lamb saagwala, garlic naan, mixed pickle, and mango juice. My partner ate everything and I only had the lamb saagwala..she enjoyed everything and particularly complemented the flavors of this dishes above other Indian restaurants we have tried. I specifically enjoyed the lamb saagwala..it was done to perfection and balanced the flavor of the meat with the spices and the creamy spinach. We will definitely try other dishes in the future!

The decore, the warm ambiance, the wonderful host/server… The Food… OMG the food was amazing! So tasty and wonderful! Some of the best Indian food I’ve ever eaten and I was a front end manager of an Indian Restaurant in my past! Pearl truly is an excellent Indian restaurant! If you are visiting or live in Crown Heights, this is definitely worth the stop!!

I normally order delivery from this spot but I went there for the first time to eat at the restaurant. Everything was yummy per usual. The interior is cozy, intimate, and the music was very relaxing.
Anthony Hill - 8 months ago

We were the only dine in customers. They brought us water immediately. The appetizers were excellent, though I feel the staff is not good at explaining the dishes. The Lamb saagwala is good. I wanted to try new things, so the only known thing I ordered was garlic naan. I can't handle hot spicy food, so I deliberately asked before choosing my food choices.

I came with 2 other people on a Friday night and had an excellent experience. The food was fantastic and prices were really reasonable, especially with generous portions so we were happy to have some leftovers to take home. All around great service too! It’s BYOB, so stop into Mr. Kale a couple doors down to grab beer first if you’re dining in.

Pretty tasty burgers and decently priced considering the area. The retro atmosphere is cute but could be a lot more appealing if the restaurant itself was better taken care of (cleaned). This is an order at the counter restaurant and not a sit down service restaurant however the counter service could be somewhat more customer oriented. Other than that the food itself is this restaurant’s saving grace. A delicious and well seasoned burger paired with crisp salty fries can never disappoint. The bacon and fried egg was a stellar addition. 😋

Franklin Park is a spacious and welcoming green space offering something for everyone. With walking trails, open fields, and recreational areas, it’s perfect for exercise, picnics, or relaxing outdoors. The park is well maintained and provides a peaceful escape from city life while still feeling active and lively.

Came here for the first time on Sunday evening with my friend and her dog. We sat outside, it wasn't too loud so we were able to chit chat without issue. The staff were lovely and the food was delicious. There was no wait for a table and the food came out quickly as well. Will definitely be back.

I went here with friends. There is a large selection of beers and cider on tap. They can also make cocktails here. It’s relatively quiet and has a nice open/spacious vibe. It’s close to the subway so I’d definitely return.

It is definitely a top pick for me.

Best part of the restaurant is the atmosphere, the negroni was a 10 but the labios rojos is a regular mezcalita, a basic drink just a beautiful presentation. The food was real basic mexican food, because of the fame I was expecting a little more. I give the food a 5. We had chilaquiles, tostadas, huarache, esquites and Plato don. Dont have any of them maybe other plates are better. We also had bread pudding it was a 4. Music was good and our server great!

Oh talk about staples in the neighborhood, Chavelas is definitely one of them. A great place for brunch, lunch or dinner they have been serving great Mexican Food from their corner on Franklin for years now. I had the pleasure to dine in for lunch recently. Our server (Oscar I believe) was incredible. Knew the menu in and out and provided impeccable service. The staff overall were kind and made you feel welcomed. The food was good as usual. Chilaquiles, smoked ribeye quesadillas and a few other items were order. The smoked Ribeye Quesadilla was a major hit! Keep that as a staple guys. If you happen to be around the Brooklyn museum and looking for a place with great value, go support Chavelas Apologies! Food was so good couldn't take pics!

Great tacos and really lovely service at an affordable price. The space itself is really gorgeous and the staff was attentive and kind. Loved the food, especially their guacamole- it was citrusy, chunky, and packing a good punch. Loved the vegetarian options, though choices were a bit limited. The nopales con frijoles taco was great. Definitely would go back!

Bartenders are very professional and friendly. Food is fantastic .The drinks are on point and not pricey .Djs are always great Karaoke Thursdays is an added bonus.

95 south is definitely a spot for vibes AND good food. My husband and I each had a half rack of ribs and it was a huge portion. The food was all very great quality and the bbq was actually finger lickin’ good as we say in the south. I’ve tried all the hipster bbq spots (Morgan’s, Pig Beach, Dinosaur, etc.) none of them were as good as this, like not even comparable. The music was a little too loud for a Monday night and service was kinda slow but it is somewhere we would come back to for sure.

We were there on Tuesday, July 29th for my man 64th birthday party! We had an absolute blast!! The place was beautiful inside! The service, the food and the drinks were excellent!! The DJ was the absolute best!! A friendly atmosphere! My man had the time of his life!! This is definitely a “Happy Place”! Thanks to all staff in this fine establishment!

Went here with some friends for brunch and was a bit disappointed. For starters upon arrival the restaurant looks closed for the outside , luckily one of the staff members were outside and invited me in. Upon entering, the restaurant is very spacious and clean.( I can easily see this as the perfect venue to throw an event) . I ended up getting there way ahead of my two friends and the bartender took pity on me and offered me a mimosa on the house, which tasted amazing. Once my friends arrived, we ordered a plethora of food ranging from chicken and waffles, steak and eggs, fish and grits along with a picture of mimosas. my friend seem to enjoy their food. However, I thought the food was a bit underwhelming (I had the chicken and waffles). please know this is personal preference and also know that I’ve brunched quite a bit, and this was very underwhelming to me simply on taste. My friends seem to have enjoyed their food and didn’t make any complaints. The service was great and not too long after my friends arrived, so did the DJ. Pros: Very nice vibey atmosphere, especially once the music is going. The staff are very nice and accommodating as they needed to be a few changes made to one of my friends order because she is vegetarian. Although I did not like my food, the portion sizes were really good, especially for the price and they have vegetarian options. CONS: when they have brunch, that is the only thing available to order which sucks because the brunch menu is very limited in comparison to their dinner menu. I do think I’ll return as I do think they’re done the menu is much more appealing to me. It seems like the night scene is where it’s at up in there lololol. So for now until next time as I’ll definitely be back..

This place survived the closing of many Starbucks around nyc, but it needs to step it up. They at least need an order screen. No matter how long in advance I order via the app, they lose track of the ticket or it takes forever or both and I think it would help everyone - customers and staff - to have the big flat screen orders on the wall.
Nathan Noland - 2 months ago

You have one of the cleanest and nicest Starbucks locations I’ve been to. I asked for a small favor at the order desk — an iced Americano with ice to the top, the shot over the ice, then water to fill — and while waiting, I watched Mel prepare it. She read the order sheet perfectly and made the drink with such care and precision. I honestly thought, “She must be the manager, or at least someone who would make an excellent one.” Great job, Mel.

I love Starbucks, but whoever is making the sandwiches for GrubHub clearly hates their job. It’s always very sloppy, the bread is never on evenly, consistently lopsided and I just wish they would hire someone that likes their job enough to take the time and care to put a piece of bread on evenly lol. The food, snacks, drinks, and everything in between is always really good except for last week when they sent me a completely different sandwich than what I ordered lol)

The atmosphere both inside and outside is welcoming, and gives a very at-home ambiance. The backyard is vibrant with its art and various couch setups, and was the perfect place to enjoy vegan food and good music. Can't wait to try more from the menu!

Walking in with low expectations made the good food even better. I was delighted by the experience. This place deserves praise specifically for customer attention. This place respects quality and your wallet. We've already decided to return.
Ignace Manoury - 4 months ago

I thought I came over to my family's house to have dinner the way the service was so homely. Even the customers who came in after us I thought were friends with the owner due to the comfortable conversation they were having. Amazing place to have something healthy to eat late in the evening. Intimate, warm, cozy, and full with love and gorgeous plants. Mix max colorful caribbean-style decorated spot. We were going to take it to go, but decided to stay and enjoy the lovely atmosphere. It's not a place for large groups, but a romantic date or hanging out with a couple of friends would be fitting. We can't wait to return and try other dishes on the menu.

This place has quickly become my go-to neighborhood slice, and I genuinely look forward to stopping in every time. The pizza is consistently amazing — Thin, crispy, hot, & so satisfying. It honestly reminds me of the pizza I grew up eating back home in Jersey, which makes it extra special for me What I love most is the variety; They always have such a great selection of slices, and sometimes I secretly hope they’re a little low on plain cheese so I can try something new — Bc every time I do, I end up loving it. The Caprese slice is especially delicious (and somehow feels lighter + fresher if you’re trying to get some greens in) Beyond the food, the staff here is incredible. Everyone is so kind, welcoming, & clearly works really well as a team. On one visit, one of the guys working there noticed me and casually asked what I wanted to drink & brought me a water :’) Such a small gesture, but it really meant a lot & made me feel so taken care of The space itself is cozy and inviting, and they recently renovated, which makes it feel even more open & comfortable. I love sitting in the back and looking at all the photos, decor, & little mementos while waiting — It gives the place so much character & warmth Overall, this spot never misses; Amazing pizza, great energy, & genuinely kind people — If you’re craving a solid slice, this place delivers every single time

A true hidden gem. Best pizza in NY. We love dropping in for a slice and we ended up ordering Joe and Sal’s for our casual rehearsal welcome party before our wedding. Everything was amazing and they even threw in extras. Their communication, kindness and of course the food, was above and beyond. Thank you Joe, Sal and your team for being the best!

Really tasty slices!! Loved the service, there was abundant seating on a weekday night, and the Italian music was a great touch to the atmosphere, highly recommend and I will be back to try their full pies
Evon Shay - 4 months ago

Really friendly people & the flavorful pepperoni had an excellent crispetycrunchety bottom (a perfectly cromulent word and I’m talking NO sagging) with still a nice bready end crust. I’ll be happy to pay 4.50 a slice again! Oh and a good amount of indoor seating.

Neighborhood gem ✨️ I have been coming to this place almost every week. Sometimes multiple times a week. It's my go-to pizza spot. I have introduced 3 people to this place and they are all hooked so it is a tried, tested, and proven best pizza spot in Crown Heights. My #1 go-to is the La-Burrata pie. Thin crust, fresh burrata cheese, fresh basil, and tomato... it all just melts in your mouth. Next, is the Nonna pizza if you're into Sicilian style. Yum! My tip is to get a full pie instead of slices because A) it will be freshly baked. B) much cheaper that way. Their pasta is also really good. The penne alla pesto and fettuccine alfredo are what I have tried so far. I will update when I try more. This place has history and a reputation as a solid pizza joint. Dave Portnoy, the pizza guru, gave this place an 8.1. But I round that up and give it a solid 9. There's enough seating area and Tiffany lamps for added aesthetics and a vintage feel. They also have a memory wall with pictures and notes of people who have made memories in this place. And of course, the Godfather references and an Al Pacino portrait 😉

This bagel shop is fantastic. The bagels are fresh and flavorful, the bagel sandwiches are excellent, and the cream cheese is amazing. The smoothies are also very good. The line can be long at times, but it moves fairly fast. The quality makes it worth the wait and I would definitely recommend checking it out if you are in the area.
Kyle B - 3 months ago

Went at 3pm on a weekday so it was pretty dead and easy to order. The menu is massive so I needed time to decide anyway lol. They have so many varieties of cream cheese, much less sandwich combos! For my gluten-free friends, they offer a plain and everything gf bagel. I ordered the everything gf bagel and it was delicious! Would definitely go back for another bite and to try another sandwich!
Marissa Terranova - 2 months ago

Your typical neighborhood bagel shop — offering a huge variety of freshly baked bagels, spreads, and toppings. Fast and friendly service. The space is a bit cramped with minimal indoor seating, but there are sidewalk dining options. Overall, an affordable and satisfying stop for a quick bite
MOE JARADAT - 4 months ago

I only gave you guys a 2 because I found a long piece of hair in my drink. That's not hygienic. I don't know how to feel about this or what are the laws and regulations on this but i just wanted you guys to know. Other than that the bagel with bacon and egg was delicious and the tea was good until towards the end when this extra long piece of hair was in my cup stuck to the inside of the lid, It's not mine because I have kinky curly hair that's dyed ginger. Anyways be more careful next time guys. Mistakes do happen but this was my first time eating here and maybe my last I dont know. The customer service was outstanding and everyone was orderly and friendly. Everything looked fresh and the place eas extremely clean. Thanks 😊

I recently visited this place and it absolutely exceeded my expectations! Everything—from the food to the atmosphere—was genuinely impressive. If you’re looking for fresh, clean, and high-quality dishes, this spot should be at the top of your list. I tried the Mama J O and the Dug Roti, and both were outstanding. • Mama J O: The noodles were perfectly cooked—soft, springy, and full of flavor. Every ingredient tasted incredibly fresh, and you can tell the kitchen puts real care into selecting high-quality produce. The flavors are bold but well-balanced, making every bite comforting and satisfying. • Dug Roti: This was a total highlight. The roti was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a wonderfully fragrant aroma. Paired with the rich, flavorful sauce, it was absolutely addictive. I would go back just for this! The overall atmosphere of the restaurant is warm, clean, and welcoming. The place is well-organized, and you can feel the attention to detail as soon as you walk in. It’s the kind of spot where you instantly feel comfortable and confident about the food you’re about to enjoy. In short: Great food ✔️ Fresh ingredients ✔️ Clean environment ✔️ Friendly vibe ✔️ Totally worth the visit ✔️ I highly recommend coming here—once you try it, you’ll definitely want to return.

I had such a great experience at MISC, and the Mama J’O dish was absolutely outstanding. The flavors were bold, comforting, and perfectly balanced — you can really tell how much care and thought went into this dish. If you’re visiting MISC, Mama J’O is a must-order. I’ll definitely be coming back just for this dish alone! ❤️❤️❤️ Service is really good too!!!!!!

Had a wonderful dining experience at MISC. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared with great attention to detail. The flavors were well-balanced, the ingredients were fresh and high quality, and you can truly tell the chef’s passion in each plate. The food is unique yet approachable, with a clear identity that sets MISC apart. Combined with a lovely atmosphere, it’s a perfect spot for both casual meals and special occasions. Highly recommend!
