Everything I had here is good so I can only imagine everything else here being top-notch. At quick glance the menu is typical for all serious coffee shops using La Marzocco machines that offered avocado toasts and pastries. The latter are sourced from Balthazar and Bibble & Sip. What I really appreciated was the addition of a non-tea/coffee alternative such as smoothies and slushies which are perfect on a hot summer day and a great way to add some fruits/veggies to a child's diet. You can basically customize your smoothie with a preferred base (almond milk, coconut water, or OJ for example) and then add whichever fruits or greens you're in the mood for.
They also have a fridge stocked with Health-Aid Kombucha (Ginger Lemon is the bomb) and Gatorade as it is close to all the parks and piers. In short, they did the perfect job keeping their menu and offerings expansive without feeling overwhelming. There are also a number of small tables that were nicely spaced apart (rare in NYC) so you can actually sit, relax, and enjoy the amazing view of the water and city skyline.
I enjoyed a La Columbe Black & Tan with a white chocolate matcha dessert which had a lovely raspberry jam on the bottom and topped with a green tea macaron. My husband got a mango smoothie with a coconut water base so it was light, refreshing, and not too sweet. I got a spinach, mango, pineapple, banana smoothie with almond milk and added flax seeds that was delicious and even better than the ones I got from Gregorys or Juice Press recently. After hitting the piers and playgrounds we stopped by for a quick refresher and opted for the mango slushie for the kids and an iced green tea from teapigs for myself. I am also a tea fanatic so was thrilled to see them offering teapigs.
I look forward to coming back and trying the avocado toast, their other desserts, and of...
Read moreOne of the few businesses on the Atlantic Avenue side of Brooklyn Bridge Park, I couldn't be more thankful for the existence of Kaigo. I've always been surprised that there aren't more restaurants, bars, coffee places on this side of brooklyn bridge park considering its adjacent to the ferry terminal and the popularity of the park in general. However, Kaigo is here and they're absolutely worth a visit.
My go to at this spot is their La Colombe Draft Latte. Frothy and delicious, it is the perfect complement to a sunny day. Even if its not sunny, you can still sit in the lovely cafe and enjoy a cup. The staff are friendly and polite to a fault. They already have lines where the park is crowded and the weather is nice, for good reason. They also offer and array of smoothies which look inviting but I haven't tried yet owing to my preoccupation with the draft latte. A variety of pour over coffees, baked good and some sandwiches round up the menu. There is enough space to comfortably seat around 25 people so its not a hole in the wall.
A wonderful addition to Brooklyn Bridge Park, Kaigo hits all the...
