This has been my local caffeine fix for almost 15 years, and like in ‘Cheers’ everyone knows your name. Slammin’ Colombe coffee, vintage 90s decor (Steve Keene, garage sale kitsch 👍🏻), pastries from Colson Patisserie and sandwiches made here, big backyard and a musician owner who plays great jams. I’m sitting here now, enjoying a coffee in the backyard with the Funky Meters wafting through the door. Extra credit: My kid felt so welcome here that when she once had to run in on her way home from elementary school to use the bathroom they made sure she was OK. This is what neighborhood looks like 💖

Such a hidden gem in Brooklyn! I stopped in for a quick caffeine fix and ended up with one of the best lattes I’ve ever had—shoutout to Jaden for absolutely nailing it. Super friendly and clearly knows her coffee game. The latte was creamy, flavorful, and just hit the spot! Great vibes, cozy atmosphere, and awesome service. Highly recommend!

The single greatest coffee shop in my little corner of the world. Barista’s so angelic that the heavens do blush. Great coffee, eats and banter. A joy to my heart, a light in the darkness , a fine spot to sit and wonder.
