I wander sometimes…
Mostly because of my schedule, in those early afternoons I have time to sit, relax, and let my mind wonder.
Without noise, or many people, or distractions.
You can only wonder where one's mind would wander…
Sit & Wonder is just a place for that. Cozy, simple, friendly and pretty quiet.
In summer, backyard is your own paradise. Mismatched chairs, benches, little garden, pots and plants – I am, in all seriousness, feel like home, on my own backyard. Comfortable.
And, to add to that, coffee is good, and croissants are wicked. Buttery, light, flaky and messy to eat – just the way best croissants are.
If your day need timeout, if you need to relax your mind, and if your taste buds appreciate good bites and sips – then come, Sit & Wonder.
It's here.
A friend recommended Sit and Wonder when I was looking for coffee shops that I could sit and work at on the weekends. This place is pretty adorable outside. For the most part the inside looks like any other coffee shop, but it's still cozy nonetheless. There's a bookshelf and a cute little back patio area, and little bar areas you can sit at with your coffee and laptop or a friend or a book — whatever you prefer.
Each time I've gone there I've gotten their cold brew, which is not a disappointment and is decently priced. I also have gotten a muffin and a sandwich there over the course of a few visits, and each have tasted great. 🙂
The bathrooms here are also really great. Like a clean yet vintage-y feel. Is that weird? I hope that's not weird. Bathrooms are important.
Thumbs up.
The Coffee Wars so no sign of abatement in the borough of Brooklyn. Throw a coffee bean and you're likely to hit another one. A mere two doors down from Sit & Wonder is Konditori, which offers cheaper coffee. At Sit & Wonder, you get what you pay for: great coffee! I like to splurge and get me an iced coffee here. There is a good amount of space for sitting and wondering too, up front and out back.
A cute little coffee shop that I wish existed on every corner of every street really. A nice sweet barista, stumptown coffee, and a take one bring one book stack in the back where there is seating and wifi.
We went in just for a quick cold drink to walk back to the train stop with, but decided to sit and read for a bit in the back. Since it was close to closing, the barista offered us some free baked goodies when we checked out. It was such a cute quiet space that we actually picked two books and just sat there reading for twenty minutes before they closed.
We walked out thinking how nice it would be to spend more time there.
If I lived in that neighborhood, I would probably be there daily, one of the many old but young looking people hanging out with the barista, who probably has a life like the ones they show on that show Girls (which I stopped watching after 8 episodes), and talk about how there are only mostly white people coming in even though the neighborhood is so diverse and there is an amazing braiding place down the street and…oh, did you know a bahn mi shop finally opened down the street?
This place is sweet and randomly slow paced and ironic with its existence so Brooklyn in all its ways. Oh well, just Sit and Wonder.
This place is an oasis in the concrete jungle!
Atmosphere: quiet, welcoming, warm, cozy. There is ample seating inside and in the backyard patio. The design is zen-inspired, which lends to a calming environment in which to work.
Staff: friendly and helpful, the staff seem to genuinely enjoy having conversations while taking and making orders. It's nice to have a chance to slow down and connect.
Good/drink: house-made (in their other location) almond milk is worth the extra $1. They definitely do not skimp on it either. The iced lattes are refreshing, smooth, and creamy. Muffins and crescent sandwiches are made in house. TIP- muffins are half price ($1.50) after 5p! Whattt? The lemon, polenta, almond (gluten-free) was a dense and grainy cake, moist in the center with a crunchy and sweet top. Too big for one sitting and definitely worth the full $3 price. But let's be real, I'm a girl after a graduate student also in search of a good deal!
Really friendly staff and I love the chill vibe. It is a great place to catch up with friends or do some work as there are tons of seating in the front and in the back.
I have to say I wasn't too thrilled about my coffee. I ordered a reg iced coffee with almond milk and my coffee tasted sour. I have tried sweet coffee and bitter but never sour… I'm not sure if the almond milk was bad or it was the coffee. It was also pricey. I ordered a small and my coffee was around $5
Quality local coffee shop offering Stumptown drinks, sandwiches, pastries, indoor/outdoor seating, a backyard, and free WiFi. $5 minimum on credit cards. Mix of Macbook users and people socially getting coffee. Vibe = local Brooklyn coffee place, not the super modern type.
Staff is nice. Half off pastries from 5pm-7pm, when they close. Chilling in the backyard is really nice.
Very cute place, but the seating is limited & the seats at the bars are uncomfortable. Feels cramped in the winter. Okay pastries, nice people, nice back area.
