I'm basing this review solely on the fantastic donuts, sufganiyot, they had during Chanukah. Nothing sticks it to our Greek oppressors more than these works of art. They shouldn't even really be called donuts, as they're just in a league of their own. Not overly sweet, but well balanced in flavor, they had several varieties, including one filled with Irish Cream-infused chocolate ganache, topped with a dusting of cinnamon, and the one that took the cake, or the donut, I ought to say, (I know, I know, I'm just the funniest, no pun intended) was filled with a creme brulee custard filling and topped with a brulee caramelized crust. What really set these over the top was the mad science/slightly clinical touch of a plastic syringe inserted into the side of each confection, The syringes contained a variety of liquidy sweet flourishes, depending on the type of donut. The creme brulee had a liquid caramel injection, and as you make your way through the light, fried dough, you can inject each bite as you go along with sweet caramel goodness. The Irish creme had what tasted like more chocolate liqueur. I'd love it if they had these available throughout the year, but I don't think I could be so fortunate. The one thing that deeply troubled me was that as I sat at one of the groovy window-side seats and left my phone charging and my Judaica bag at my place, these rude, obnoxious Israeli women who were loudly chatting and gossiping in arz Hebrew and loudly munching on their salads moved my stuff out of the way and took over my seat while Ii went next door to use the sherutim (that's facilities for all you non-members of the tribe). As far as eating here, it seems too busy and cramped during the day, but at night, I bet it's a peaceful spot to study, learn, and grab a bite. And maybe while you're at it, you can inject your donut and play doctor.
This is a awesome little coffee place that you go to, when you're in the mood of grabbing a coffee and pastry or sit down for a quick breakfast with friend, family etc.
I was there one morning with my family and although there is not much seating, including the seating by the front window and the seating in the back by the museum, we still managed to get ourselves seated and had a real nice time.
The place has a nice décor and the staff is as helpful and friendly as it gets.
The food and drinks (Breakfast/Brunch style) are absolutely delicious (Although not the cheapest) and there is free Wi-Fi!
Bottom line: I'm a great fan of this place and look forward to go there again.
Best iced mocha in NYC. And I am a die hard Starbucks person, but this beats Starbucks on any day. Wish they had more locations.
The cutest and most adorable coffee sleeves.
They also have pastries and yummy wraps.
Seating is limited, but hey, in this neighborhood prime real estate goes fast.
Very nice and friendly customer service.
Also, very clean and modern decor, almost swanky for a kosher coffee shop.
I am a big fan!!
This is an accessible, pleasant coffee shop located inside the Jewish Children's Museum (and in the heart of the Jewish community of Crown Heights).
The space is bright and airy, decorated with Illy products and clocks showing the time in various cities around the world (Jerusalem, Milan, Paris, Rio…), a flatscreen showing nothing but nature scenes, and Hebrew pop music playing over the soundsystem.
They have every coffee drink anyone could ever want, and I appreciated the fresh mint they added to my tea. I have yet to try the more substantial food options (sandwiches, salads, etc.), but I can report that they have plenty of decent snacks available (pastries, Kind Bars, Naked Juices, and more). $3.75 is bit steep for a plain croissant, but perhaps kosher croissants cost more. I don't really know.
Chocolatte also boasts free wi-fi, but there is limited (but comfortable) seating and the counter is a bit higher than ideal for laptopping. Although, I can't blame them if it's purposeful, and they don't want the likes of me sitting there all day long.
Since I last came here the manager saw my Yelp review and wrote me a beautiful apology lettter. He explained to me that he was very sorry for my experience and said that they have made many improvements to the business including in the areas of customer service and price. And he was right. I took his invitation (he asked me to please come again) and I returned to the Cafe. The prices have been lowered significantly. The customer service was excellent. And no problems with the customers this time. It was a good experience and the Cappuccino was delicious and so was the cinnamon roll which was hot and fresh and smellled great. BTW they have free WiFi also. I would have given this business 5 stars but they don't have a bathroom. They share a bathroom with a business next door that isnt always open when they are. Kind of inconvenient for customers.
the staff is super friendly! the food is great… very much a fusion of american european israelian!? ok maybe I made up that last word but i was told that this place is way better than starbucks… i must agree! (and i am a die hard starbucks fan) 24 hrs, affordable, bright, friendly, and yummy!
i ordered the sachlav (warm rose milk latte drink) and the special jerusalem potato boureka! savory and sweet overtake my taste buds!
