Espresso Me - Brooklyn

The interior of the restaurant is charming, but unfortunately, everything else falls short. I would give one star for the decor, but deduct three stars for the quality of the food and coffee. The pastry we ordered was stale and unappealing, and the coffee was served lukewarm. Overall, I would rate the food as 1 out of 5 stars.

Located off the beaten path, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit. The espresso here is top-notch, and the espresso tonic is a special treat that you don't find everywhere. The atmosphere has a unique, local charm. Although the staff can be a bit short-handed at times, the wait times are not overly long.

This would be a phenomenal coffee shop if there was just any consistency to when their kitchen is open. Have had an unusual number of experiences when I walk in and they aren't serving food for one reason or another. I asked if there was any kind of pattern to when they do and don't serve food and they said no on this particular day *both* baristas were new and hadn't been trained. I heard that exact reason before earlier this year from a different barista. This is a bummer! The food is really good!

Grabbed a coffee while on a Saturday morning walk. I enjoyed the flavor of their iced coffee and decent prices make it a worthwhile stop. Quality: Went with a Cold Brew Iced Coffee and was very happy with the flavor. A little bit of bitterness, but not so much to overwhelm the drink. Mixed with some cream and sugar it was very good.Quantity: Standard size drinks.Value: $5.00 for a Medium Cold Brew.Ambiance: Espresso Me is located on the edge of Cobble Hill. It is easy to pass as it is the only business in a deserted strip and right next to a construction site. It looks like they had an outdoor street area, but there were no tables or chairs set up. Inside they had some seating both in the front and alongside the ordering area. Music was quiet and it seemed like a nice place to read or do some work.Crowd: One person set up with a computer and two other guests on line.Service: Quick and friendly service.Parking: With construction, tough street parking.

I LOVE this place. The drinks are delicious and none of the employees are ever ornery.
