My first experience here was pretty awful. They only take cash. It's 2015. There's no excuse not to take credit cards. There are startups that have figured this out for low-dollar transactions like coffee purchases. One example is Square. This is why Starbucks dominates: they get the basics right. They don't make it a hassle to buy their shit.
So, I ran to the surcharge-free credit union at McDonald's (ironic location).
When I came back the attitude had changed, and they were surprised to have me back. They let me know they they actually have a benefactor (?!?! don't ask me…) who provides free drinks. I said I didn't want charity but apparently it's just for people who don't have cash.
They donate their tips to charity. I'm inclined to view this in a highly positive way. There are too many cynics in Brokelyn and I believe in these sorts of dollar-at-a-time efforts.
The coffee is good, but very expensive. $3.25 for a small iced latte.
Staff aren't warm or friendly. The second time I came the barista seemed distinctly disinterested; annoyed at providing service. It frustrates me when people working in service industries do this. So many people hate their jobs but they act with dignity anyways.
Their Wi-Fi is open and free — no password required. What a relief from the hassle of pretty much any other Wi-Fi, which requires a password (independent cafés) or constant authentication and even giving up your email address (see Starbucks). It's average speed for an independent café (no Google Starbucks).
Music is 2010-era dope. Lots of Vampire Weekend. It's better than the bland jazz of a much better-known chain.
There's a distinctly loungey feel to the place, with plentiful couches and tons of seating. Great hangout spot, for relaxation (I've been playing games) and maybe some work too.
What stops cute places like this from excelling is a number of tiny mistakes. They'd become a big deal if they got the basics down; it's how Starbucks wins.
super sweet service. laid back, quiet and cozy. i came here a couple of times while in my time in ny to get some work done. reliable internet connection and plenty of peace. i like tea and usually go for peppermint. the first time i was there one of their employees (perhaps a manager or owner?) was giving away chocolate and come on, that in my yelp book equals an extra star. solid!
This is the place you are in the mood for I guarantee it.
Super laid back coffee spot in the park slope area with a cozy homey feel. Grab a cup of coffee and sink into there couch. This is a great place to hang out and enjoy. I ordered an americano which was enjoyable but nothing special. This place stands out because of the friendly service and chill environment.
If your looking to just grab a quick cup of caffeine and be on your way I would point you else ware, but if you have a couple of minutes to enjoy life you found the right place. Wifi is free and easily accessible which is a huge plus in my book.
I didn't purchase anything here, and I plan to come back and get a beverage. The review is for their free Friday night comedy shows, starting at 8. They serve wine and beer during these events, and it's a great way to kick off your Friday.
I think this is one of the hidden gems of Park Slope — I frequent coffee shops to study and do work all the time and I have to say this is probably one of the most pleasant ones to work out of. When I say "hidden" — like really, hidden. It's off to the side of 6th street so it could be easily missed. (The entrance is on the side of the building down 6th street)
The inside has a very "homey" feel, warm, plenty of seats to choose from — whether you like to sit on a bench top with stools, standard tables, benches, or sofas with a coffee table. The staff here was very friendly as well.
100th review! I LOVE this place. Not only is the coffee amazing, this establishment is everything Brooklyn claims to be about, without falling short like so many other places. Postmark is a cozy, warm, friendly space that effectively acts as a community gathering space. Lots of seating and even a nice little outdoor patio. Very diverse clientele and no elite hipster douchbaggery.
They even have free stand-up comedy every Friday and welcome comics of all colors and orientations, and often have semi well known comics drop in to do a set. Also, it's wonderful that the comics are welcome to be controversial, but that cursing is frowned upon. I also love that the cafe donates their tips to African charities. So wonderful to encounter a place like this.
A hidden gem, and I hope it stays that way! I was surprised to see that there were still seats available on rainy day around finals season.
Of course they've got coffee, but that's not the star here. They donate their tips to charity, have open and free wifi and they have two floors. On top of all that, the place feels very homey and they have a lot of comfortable seating all around.
Another great coffee place in the slope to chill, do some work or even have a business meeting. Excellent service, good amount of room (more space downstairs), some basic food options and great coffee. And of course, wifi and outlets to round out the study/work experience. Hard to find issues with this place in my experience so far.
