I freaking love this place. If only it was closer…
Tucked away in East Williamsburg, Mountain Province is the rare cafe that gets five stars from me.
The coffee is imported from the Philippines and if you're a coffee addict, you'll taste the beans in the cup. It has a earthy, smoky flavor and the first I had a sip, was surprised by how prominent it was. Their espresso-based drinks are carefully made.
For the pastries, you can try the cassava cake, taro brioche, or the coconut bibinka (muffin). You can't go wrong with any of them because they're all lightly sweet (my kind of pastry!) but my favorite is the coconut bibinka.
It is a quaint little cafe with island themed wallpaper to make it feel like you are in the Phlippines. That combined with the service, coffee, and food selection make it rise to the top. Happy eating and remember: don't deny, satisfy!
Excellent lattes and coffee, and I've heard nothing but high praise for the baked goods. Cozy spot on a cold day. For New York standards, there's a ton of seating space (though it can fill up on busies days).
My go-to here is an almond milk latte. I don't think one can really go wrong regardless.
It really does feel like you've hit the jackpot when you step outside your place, walk across the street, and try out what would soon to be your new favorite flat white. Hands down my current love and I will be sad when I have to go back home and deal with a lack of Mountain Province coffee. So the other reviews ring true and I am so glad they led me here. The service is quick and the shop is quiet and cozy for you to get substantial work done as it it's not by any means suitable for large groups. This bodes well for someone who wants alone time in any form of work or leisure.
It's a cute little neighborhood place, the cafe is not that big but they produce a quality coffee. They offer free wifi, most of the tables are 2 seater tables with a large table in the back corner.
The food:
Mocha- The coffee art here is pretty on point. The milk foam was pretty cool, the mocha was nice and soothing. It was really relaxing to drink and it was not overly sweet. yelp.com/user_local_phot…
Iced Coffee- The ice coffee here is a popular item and I liked it. I am not the biggest coffee person but I enjoyed it.
Holy cow the reviews are so real. This place is freaking amazing I ordered a Jasmine ice tea that was brewed to perfection which did not have a bitter after taste. My girlfriend had the coconut latte with almond milk…a must try for vegans. What else did we indulge in a coconut muffin which was moist and delicious. The mystery desert was the yuca muffin that had me doing back flips……freaking mouth watering flavors on the desert. Oh a big plus was the staff was super chill and made you feel welcomed……………I can't wait for my next cup of Joe.
Omg this is my favorite cafe in Brooklyn. I'm in love with everything here from the coffee and taro / matcha lattes to the pork kimchi sandwiches and cassava cake. The sweets (drinks and food) are delicate and the pork sandwich is so crispy and packs a peppery zing.
The interior is cute, reminds me of a small cabin in a one street town. The front of the cafe lets in a lot of natural light which is nice for reading or studying but the back can be a bit dark. I don't mind it so much though. Music is also not too loud so it's not distracting when you're trying to get work done.
Pineapple Scone. This is what I was here for. I love scones and I love pineapples even more. Who knew you could marry the two?!
Pineapple Scone was so fluffy soft on the inside. Sweet pieces of pineapple here and there throughout the scone. It was a light snack and really wished that I got another one!
Iced coffee was aromatic and refreshing for my taste.
Quite a relaxing cafe spot for its tiki island decor and air conditioning blowing upon arrival. I love the wooden chairs and tables. Everything is very well spaced out and have many comfortable seating spots for patrons.
I'll be back!
The thing about this place is that it is family owned and not at all pretentious. Yet, without all the "artisanal" fuss they bake all of their goodies in house. You can smell the baking aroma. I go for the cold brew, or almond milk latte. Service is efficient, New York style. I love this place. Plenty of room if you need to get some work done. Can't resist the CASSAVA CAKE.
