“ A real hidden gem! Super friendly and peaceful. Coffee is great and the food is good too! Can’t wait to go back for some matcha treats! ”
“ In any other city this would be a famous/renowned coffee shop on every tourist "must visit" list. Even for Brooklyn it stands out ahead of most others. The pastries and coffee are outstanding, and it's very kid-friendly. Best croissant I've had this side of the Atlantic. ”
“ Cotton Bean is an excellent place in that is a simple coffeeshop, without gimmicks , without expanding their offerings beyond what is reasonable. Its a reasonable place. A logical place. A small simple operation pumping out delicious coffees in a very nice clean shop with friendly staff. It’s wonderful. Its precisely what a coffeeshop should be. I’ve encountered 3 coffeeshops like this one, the other two being Gotham and Olas where the coffee is spectacular, the service wonderful and the shop simple. Could offering no wifi be the secret to the enchantment of these places. Perhaps. Id like to think so. Sit down, read a book, have a conversation, pretend its the 90’s... which for many was peak civilization. ”
“ Without a doubt, best coffee spot in the neighborhood. Staff is always very nice, food and pastries are delicious, and menu is generous for such a small cozy shop. Although, I come here for coffee — it is on the next level. They brew Parlor Coffee and definitely care about the quality of the drinks served. Never been unhappy here, and sometimes stop by few times a day. Much love 3 ”

“ Great cafe. Food was really good. Some may say a bit expensive but the taste made up for that. Coffee is really good. They take their time! Will recommend and be coming back ”
