Loud Baby Coffee Shop — Restaurant in New York

Is Loud Baby under new management?

I haven’t been in for a bit and the two young ladies who were twin???? We’re very rude and unfriendly. The tomatoes puff pasty was $5.00!!!!!! I was really hungry and begrudgingly forked over the $$$. After paying I’m waiting and waiting and waiting and finally I ask the girl so are you are you going to give me the pastry or not, to which she responded well you didn’t ask me for it. I ordered and I paid what else was I suppose to do to make it clear that I wanted the pastry????? She didn’t even ask if I wanted to heat it up and angrily handed me the pastry.

I don’t want to put Loud Baby on blast but honestly this shop is simply reselling pastry’s from Balthazar and Lloyds Carrot Cake (I told them about it when Parkside Creamery closed). They tell people that it’s baked at the shop this is simply not true… the only item actually baked by the two former? sister owners is the Lemon Cake everything else is reselling Balthazar baked goods as there own and charging ridiculous prices for it.

I had stopped in two previous times before this visit for there carrot cake and both times the carrot cake was stale and rock hard totally wasted my money and I stopped coming in here. I couldn’t believe that they knew the cake was stale and hard and still sold it to unsuspecting customers.

I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt and stopped in today but honestly Loud Baby it was good while it lasted best of luck but in the words of Taylor Swift “we are never ever ever getting back together”!

Previous review was 5 Stars!!!!

I love Loud Baby!!! The owners are super sweet and nice. The staff also is very friendly. I love love there hot chocolate and the carrot cake!!!! All the pastries are delicious but in my opinion you can’t beat the...

LoudBaby Cafe has taken up an unfair 3/4(!!) of a wide sidewalk for their outdoor seating in a Carribean neighborhood when no other business on this stretch of Flatbush, even those suffering from the Pandemic, have done so That includes many local cafes and juice bars and several coffee shops up and down these blocks. Furthermore, they are only open 8-3:30 pm most days, meaning the outdoor area is only used half the day.

It would seem fair if they had taken up 1/3 or perhaps even half, but 3/4 is an obvious intrusion that severely bottlenecks community foot traffic and demands that people walk through one at a time. Or, perhaps they could come up with a more moveable solution that could be stored in their restaurant during closing.

Rather than a fair and understandable attempt to save face in the pandemic, it comes across as a pretty tone-deaf gentrification play --- a White owned coffee shop serving mostly-white clientele in a generations-old Carribean-American neighborhood intruding greatly on a walking and outdoor-loving community's flow through the neighborhood.

I hear their coffee is pretty solid, so feel free to patronize them and help them not go bankrupt, but perhaps mention the community will probably appreciate them a lot more if they took down their outdoor seating and came up with a less glaringly...

A $5.50 cold brew coffee will hit $7.50 if you ask for a little oat milk n pay with a card. Really bad form. "We prefer cash" apparently is code for you will be charged a lot more than 3 percent. I doubt this is the owner's policy. But they should know that's happening. Adding oat milk to a basic coffee should not incur a charge. An oat milk latte sure. But not just a little in your coffee that was honestly, loaded w ice. That's the other thing. Everyone knows iced coffee is a scam but we all indulge anyway on occasion. Doubling down on price hikes with iced drinks is unfriendly. Good coffee though. Got that...
