Postmark Café has become one of my go-to spots in Brooklyn, and it's not just for the coffee (which is solid, by the way). What really makes this place shine is the atmosphere. The exposed brick walls, wooden tables, and cozy seating make it feel like a little retreat from the outside world. There's something really authentic and personal about the space - you don't feel like just another customer; you feel welcomed into a neighborhood spot that truly cares.
The music here is always on point - a lively and fun playlist that sets a relaxing yet upbeat tone. Whether I'm popping in for a quick coffee or staying to enjoy the ambiance, the vibe always lifts my mood. The staff are friendly and seem genuinely passionate, which adds to that human touch that I think a lot of places are missing.
The café isn't huge, so it can fill up quickly, but that never feels like a downside - more like a testament to how beloved it is by locals. It's not just a place to grab a drink; it's a place to slow down, chat with friends, or get some work done. If you're in Park Slope, I highly recommend stopping by for the...
Read moreI'm a student at M.S. 51 middle school and since we are allowed to go out for lunch I am beginning to know the restaurants around here very well. This is one of the good ones. Since I'm not going to drink coffee before I have to focus in school, at lunch I usually get their delicious, creamy macaroni and cheese, and a hot chocolate. The hot chocolate is very rich, made with steamed milk. The atmosphere is relaxed and cozy, with easy chairs and lots of art on the walls. The staff are very friendly and funny. My only complaint is the downstairs seating area. There is a lot of room down there, but the only seats are a bench, a small table, and an easy chair. I understand that this café is not meant for so many kids, but since it's near a big school, there should be a couple more seats. Overall, it's not expensive, the food is original and tasty, the staff are nice, and the atmosphere is pleasant. Try Postmark, especially if you're looking for a quiet place to work. Just don't come between 11:40 and 12:20, you'll get mobbed with hungry...
Read moreThis place is lovely. I'm in NYC from Mexico City for a conference and I came here to work on my paper, and this is probably the most relaxed and comfortable I've been my entire time here. This middle aged guy, I think he might be the owner or manager, is super approachable and kind. He chats with the customers and employees and makes one feel welcomed. This place is very unpretentious, chill, cozy, and child-accommodating. There's good strong wifi and even a printer if you need. The coffee is great, the pastries are great and I was shocked by how inexpensive it seemed compared to everywhere else I've been in New York so far. Honestly I can't say enough good things about this place and the employees. If you're in Park Slope and wanting a coffee come support this place. Much...
