Nerd Be Cool Coffee Shop Espresso & Matcha Lab Juice & Smoothies Bar — Restaurant in New York

After going to their other location on Lincoln first, to learn they do not serve smoothies? I walked over to this Flatbush location. It was an extremely confusing visitor experience. Signs plastered absolutely everywhere about various drinks they sell in hard to read text. There was no greeting upon entry. After several minutes looking around confused, I asked where the coffee drinks menu was, the barista rudely pointed to 4 different signs (so…okay…then it’s not obvious….).

The smoothie was basically just water with an unnatural blue tint to it and ZERO fruit. Not sure what they put in it, but I couldn’t finish it.

To boot, they were serving their ice out of a literal igloo cooler from WalMart that I am pretty sure is a health code violation… will not...

Had an extremely uncool experience. There are a bunch of seats around the bar but no bathroom and no warning about it - I even asked about seating and the barista invited me to sit but didn’t mention the lack of bathrooms. Coffee is fine, a little on the bitter side as others have said. Service was very polite. Atmosphere is, given the lack of facilities and sparse interior, not particularly humane. They need to embrace what they are - takeout only - and not pretend to be a place you can sit...

Found this gem almost by accident. It was just right there when I needed an afternoon iced coffee. An awesome array of food items is very impressive in a setting that's funky casual. There are many sweet and savory choices. Making yourself comfortable isn't hard to do. And the engaging, friendly staff will help you with the flavorful coffee served simply. This well-traveled Ukrainian American was versed in the features of several US cities! Will be back anytime on North...
