ISLAND JAVA BK | BROOKLYN COFFEE SHOP — Restaurant in New York

I stopped in one Saturday afternoon and was greeted by the lady at the counter and another lady, who I will assume is the owner.

I ordered a large cinnamon roll latte and a cinnamon roll.

Cinnamon roll latte, 5 out of 5. It was excellent, just the way I liked it. The overall flavor was very, very good. Keep in mind if you’re getting the large, the straw will be too short. I would love the option of a longer straw.

Cinnamon roll, 4.5 out of 5. I think I should’ve asked for it to be warmed. It was good, but that was a mistake on my part.

They also offer breakfast sandwiches and other pastries to go along with your drink. Inquire about it, I know the guava and cheese danish isn’t available (but I was told that they would order it if enough customers asked for it).

There’s a seating area in the back if you’re working from home and would like somewhere to drink your coffee at.

Overall, great experience and I...

Plants were pleasantly placed around-given an earthy/nature feel. As a plant girl, I couldn’t resist. IslandJava was a home away from home. Whenever I work remotely, or just want to vibe out with girls…this will be my spot. I love this place. My second...

I stumbled upon Island Java when rushing to an appointment nearby, and I’m so happy I ran in to grab a quick bite. Celine and her family were super welcoming, responded positively to my harried vibe and, in an effort to get me something good and on my way quickly, suggested a yummy pastry that they warmed up for me. After my appointment, I stopped in for a tasty lychee lemonade, which Celine made for me, even though the shop was closed and she was headed to an event she was catering.

They are such warm, welcoming people. Their drinks and pastries are delicious, and the environment is light, airy, cozy, and relaxing. I certainly...
