Swallow Cafe - Brooklyn

Literally the most acidic bitter espresso I’ve ever tasted if you like it like that haha. But the baristas are always 11/10 and the vibes in here for chatting/doing some online work are so cozy : they have lots of outlets for charging a ton of great drink options. love this place

Just an honest rating. Bushwick staple for a long time, but the staff is always stressed out of their mind regardless of the number of people there. I’d imagine this is a management issue and not a staff issue since this has spanned generations. Coffee is mid. Sey is literally half a block away.

If you're looking for a great place to get good coffee, great bagels, and work remotely, highly recommend.

Love the vibe and selections: great service, fantastic coffee and kickass bagels

Pros: The music is QUIET and not top 40 songs. Every person there is quietly working on their laptop. I feel like it’s a place I can actually concentrate and get work done. The cold brew is very good. Coffee in general is good. There are outlets. Prices are as they say they are on the menu board with tax included. Cons: By the time I get there in the afternoon they have minimal pastries or bagels left. They have a bathroom but I have to say it’s pretty gross.
