The breakfast burrito was so scalding hot, I’m pretty sure the eggs were cooked in a microwave. The texture of the eggs also indicated that was likely the case. It was similar to a burrito you could get in the frozen section of a grocery store for a couple bucks, filled with just eggs, cheese and beans. Not worth $9.50, IMO. This place has good coffee and pastries, so best for a quick grab and go.Edit: Even if the cafe says the eggs weren’t microwaved, the point remains that the texture tasted like they were. There are plenty of other places that can make a fresh tasting breakfast burrito filled generously with fresh ingredients for the same price.
Such a wonderful cafe; I come here all the time! They have delicious coffees among other drinks and food too. I really love how attentive and friendly the owners and baristas are. Its a beautiful cafe with comfortable seating, tables outside, and a great vibe.
Love the casual, laid-back atmosphere and the numerous Vegan options, including the chickpea salad sandwich melt I had, along with a delicious soy green tea latte.Service was also very good. Very nice staff.
Having been there a number of times, I am happy to recommend Cafe Beit. Good coffee, pastries and a terrific person at the window who engages you and makes going there fun. I see people stopping by to say hello. Nice quiet open courtyard in the back with socially distanced tables and quiet after the intensity of Bedford Street. I have not used it but there is an enclosed section in the back for inclement weather. In one visit I had excellent latte and a very good ham and cheese croissant ($10). On another had a good Earl Grey tea with steamed milk and quiche (a little over $10).Definitely looking forward to coming back to try more of their offerings.
The chocolate sauce is amazing!!! I got an iced coffee with half and half and chocolate syrup and it was phenomenal. ❤️ The staff was sweet as well
Love this place. Real neighborhood coffee shop. Great food (try the soup!) in addition to the expected great coffee. Relaxed atmosphere. Outdoor patio.
Coffee’s good (enjoyed both their cold brew and a latte) but their breakfast burrito is one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever tried.Edit: Hi Jon, thanks for responding. Tbh I’m not sure how to describe the issue. It tasted like everything inside of the burrito wrap came out of a lukewarm blender.
Good god, that egg on brioche is good. Fluffy, soufflé style egg- I got the version with spinach and mushroom. Brioche had some crunchy onions on top a la onion rolls. Drip coffee is strong in the best way. Ultimate hangover helper.Also, both of the people who took care of me there were very, very nice. This visit turned my morning around.
This is my 2nd home. It’s simply the best black coffee and cold brew I’ve ever had. It’s fruity and chocolatey and strong and I drink it almost daily and don’t regret it. The baristas have kept me sane during the pandemic- they’re all lovely and work hard to make this place a special small business. Please don’t go to St@rb^ck$.
This is that hip coffee shop you see in the movies where the diverse staff actually wants to be there, knows their coffee, plays great music, befriends their regulars, and have all been working there for YEARS! Reminds me of Seattle.
Local here! We stopped by Café Beit on a morning walk to McCarren. It stood out as one of the best lattes we have had in Williamsburg.. and there is some heavy competition. I ordered a delicious matcha latte that was done perfectly. My boyfriend ordered a small hazelnut latte for himself.There’s also some light food options and plant based menu items as well!
Loved, loved, loved their iced almond milk latte. The back patio is a great place to relax on a nice day as well!
Enjoyed the matcha latte with almond milk (perfect ratio of matcha to milk! and thoroughly whisked), and the eggy breakfast sandwich.
I miss this place so much. Used to come here every weekend - the best cold brew in Brooklyn hands down. These guys know how to make coffee, and all the owners are super chill. Always good music playing, good vibes all around. They didn’t get mad when i would sit there for 4 hours reading in a corner with one coffee. WiFi is also blazing fast which is sick
Great atmosphere, amazing coffee and superb customer service.check out their backyard!
Amazing private backyard garden for a relaxing cup of coffee or matcha lattes! They make their own coconut and almond milk too! (And have a soy milk option as well :) )
Very friendly staff, coffee was yummy , would definitely return. Thank youuu
Best pickles ever along with their breakfast wraps that are fulfilling and delicious there Coffee is amazing.
I ordered a cold brew and it was just too strong! Went back (embarrassed) and explained and they were nice enough to replace my drink on them. Ordered the caramel iced latte and it was amazing !! Thank you !
Beit is the best on Bedford and likely all of Williamsburg too. They’ve seen em come and go even cafes that popped up right next door aren’t around to compare to. Barista owned and operated these guys know how to pull a strong shot. Skip the franchises and sip with a local or who’s left of em!
This place was cute and the coffee/tea and pastries were awesome. The bathrooms are impeccably clean too. The only disappointing aspect was the naked plate. When you say veggies and chips with hummus, it shouldnt just be tomatoes and cucumbers... Was expecting more of a variety.
It’s my go-to coffee spot now. Great coffee and service! If you have the time, take a seat in their wonderful backyard
Since moving to Williamsburg, I had been to this coffee shop a couple of times but recently I have been working here a lot more and have consistently had a great experience. The baristas are all friendly and personable, which isnt the case everywhere around here so it makes a huge difference! The coffee and food is all delicious as well.
Literally the best cafe in all of Williamsburg! Amazing coffee and the staff is very awesome! The biggest part of why I think Cafe Beit is amazing is the vibe. Its so chill and comfortable that I literally want to stay all day! If you are in need of some amazing coffee or just want a place to hang with some friends I highly recommend Cafe Beit!
Happen to be passing by and there was a free comedy show so my friend and I went in to watch. It was a funny show, A lot of of good talent. As for the restaurant it was cool, the front window opens up so its nice when its good weather. They have coffee, wine, beer and a small selection of food and pastries. The reason I am giving the place 3 stars is because the waitress was rude. I called her over to ask about the wine selection . She acted like I was bothering her, was talking to me from half way down the counter instead of coming to where I was. She was not friendly and thats not good customer service.
Both El Beit and the sister cafe, Modca, are really great cafes for getting work done, and enjoying good food. The pastries are great, and they have plenty of drink options for non-coffee drinkers and people who cant have caffeine, like me! The Lavender Earl Grey tea is phenomenal, in my opinion. I find the staff friendly, not at all obnoxious as other reviewers have mentioned. If you dont like the environment, dont hang out in Brooklyn.Best part, though, is the artwork. They rotate local artists pieces through the two cafes, and it really adds something to the atmosphere. Great cafe, great neighborhood, great cookies.
I was a little bit sad cause they don’t have pour over coffee (tried their drip coffee but I’m not a dark-roasted person lol) at this point but the Chaga latte I got is delicious! The taste is balanced and smooth. In addition, the staff is really really nice.
Cafe Beit (not to be confused with the former business Cafe EL Beit) is my go to cafe whenever Im in the area. The owners are great and the atmosphere is very friendly and is very much a neighborhood place. You can have your big time coffee stores, Ill take the local joint with much better coffee.
Love these guys/gals. Ive been coming here since (I think) literally day one, when I noticed that after months of vacancy El Beit had respond under a new name, now owned by the former baristas of the previously closed business.They are a much more established shop than they were however many years ago that was, but the owners still work the bar, the coffee is still good, the bakery treats are tasty and they make their own almond milk / CBD infused simple syrup. Whats not to love?
This has been my morning and weekend coffee spot for years. The coffee here is excellent. They brew French Press and its delicious. The only downside is that there arent that many tables and it gets crowded on the weekends, so its not the best place to go and work for a while.
Love this place! Theyre friendly and helpful with a great selection of food and coffee. Also the Baristas are great and extremely welcoming
Wonderful coffee shop with friendly staff. They had great homemade almond milk. Will be looking forward to the warmer weather to be able to sit in the garden in the back.
My favorite place to stop for a cup of coffee on my way to the subway. When I was sick, they suggested a special tea that actually gave me some relief! Baristas are personable and friendly.
We had a great breakfast here hiding out of the rain. Hot chocolate was excellent and also had a great pourover coffee from their single origin coffee of the week. A real coffee lovers place!
Spent a few hours relaxing here in the sanctuary of their outside garden - a lovely sunny Sunday. Good iced coffee, tasty avocado toast, chilled friendly vibe. Perfect.
This is the kind of late-night coffee place Brooklyn needs more of. At 10 pm you can get a latte or cortado made with care, with perfectly foamed milk. The barista was cool and helpful. The ambiance is always very chill at night, for working or studying. The fact they have beer options as well just takes the cake.
Cute shop, supreme location for Marathon watching. Cold brew was ok, bagels were delicious. Flat white was cute and well executed. Staff was fun and friendly.
In a sea of millions of coffee shops in Willi this one stands out. Coffee is incredible, staff is friendly and the baked goods are dangerous. I cant start my work day with out getting a cup from here .
Cafe Beit is my go-to coffee shop; Im there everyday. The coffee is amazing (taste the rainbow of Spectrum), the music is always good, theres a garden in the back, and if youre into people-watching snag a barstool at the huge windows (often open when its nice out). All great things...but what makes Beit stand apart from the rest and earns it that 5th star are the good people who own the shop and work there, too. In the ever-changing landscape of corporate, branded Brooklyn, its wonderful to find that sense of family at Beit. And great coffee. :)
Chill spot, good coldbrew ☕.They have a nice backyard seating area real comfy, some indoor seating (gets a bit crowded sometimes) great vibes tho.Nice open windowfront that opens up with a barn to soak in the flow of Bedford Ave while zippin..Non dairy options available, oat + almond milk.
Nice coffee shop on Bedford, especially if you want to escape the crowds at some of the other Williamsburg shops. You can usually find a seat here. Has a very charming garden as well.
Fav coffee spot in Williamsburg. Its how they do the milk. I dont know why the milk is so damn good in their cappuccinos, but its the best steamed milk Ive ever had. Im a repeat customer and I plan on continuing to be one.
Every time I come here I have the best experience! The baristas are all so nice and helpful. They always put in maximum effort to make all drinks and food come out correct and everyone is also very polite.
Cafe Beit is a gem! I am addicted to their matcha latte and golden milk made with their delicious homemade almond milk! You can taste the love they put into everything they serve!
This place has a rustic feel to it, with a brick wall, and dingy floor. The lighting inside isnt great, but it has free wifi and outlets. Theres also an outdoor patio in the back, but they leave the door open if its not too cold, so it could get chilly inside. Theres only one bathroom.
Cute coffee shop that we stopped in while waiting for our restaurant reservations. Free WiFi and the coffee was good. The only con was that the space was small, but thats typical for New York.
Nice little find, good coffee, not a bad patio, great service
Nice place, good people, decent coffee. The outdoor space at the back is very pleasant on a summers day as well. Recommended!
Thank you, John, for your wonderful recommendation of an iced oat milk latte on this glorious spring day. The porch in the back garden was the perfect place for Mike D and me to catch up and learn from each other.
Good start into my tourist day in Brooklyn. Cappuccino with distinct but pleasant acidity. Soothing singer songwriter music (e.g. Neil Young). Minimalist decor, but well chosen pieces of art.
Stopped in for a quick drip coffee and a bagel. Both were OK not great, no veggie cream cheese, coffee had an odd really acidic flavor, not my favorite at all.
One of my favourite coffee shops. Everyone is so nice, the food is great and the coffee is some of the best I’ve had in New York!
Free attitude with every cup! My wife wanted 2 shots of espresso to go (as-in 2 shots in one cup). The My-Life-Is-Awesome-Bow-Down-To-Me guy at the counter said we dont do shots of espresso to go but offered Americano. Well, he gave her 2 Americanos to go. Last time I checked, espresso isnt that hard to pour into any container, and THIS WAS ONE DRINK ORDER, not 2. Youre not the be-all-end-all of coffee servers in the world, buddy, and if you have a gut, dont wear skinny jeans. PS the Jack Johnson hat is so 3 years ago. I am giving them 2 stars (instead of 1) for quality of bean and a free, no-hassle restroom. Would not go back to order coffee, but would go for a bathroom break.
Ordered an ice coffee with almond milk and chocolate syrup but it doesn’t taste like there’s much of either in there. So bitter 😩
6 out of 5 stars ;) awesome team, delicious food and coffee
The coffee is pretty decent, the music tends to be acceptable, I really love the minimalistic interior design, but I have only been to few places where the service was that indifferent, if not rude. I tend to come back though...
Love this place! Excellent coffee, delicious but simple food with gluten free and vegan options and a big back patio!
I’ve been here a lot recently and I have always had a good experience, the coffee is quite delicious and the folks that work here are always kind and friendly. Thank you!
Cute little cafe in Brooklyn. Great window seating and back patio area. But they want to limit the internet to 30 minutes and the chai tea latte was average on flavor.
I use el beit primarily as a work space so can only comment on how well it serves as my office.... The WIFI is good and almost never down, there are 3 sets of outlets that cover pretty much all of the tables but BEWARE the outlets are loose and macbook cords without their extensions will fall out and not stay in the wall, so bring your extension cord! The front of the house has a few two person tables that I generally leave to non-computer customers while the back of the cafe has a large worktable that can fit up to 6. It is almost always filled with 6 people with computers and actually makes for quite a nice peer-pressure fueled workspace. There is also a comfortable, and very very worn armchair which is a comfortable place to sit with a computer all day. WATCH OUT when you go to el biet in the winter-- there is a backyard garden (which I am sure is very nice in the summer) but in the winter, people go out there to smoke and almost never close the door. So, it makes for a frustrating work environment when you have to get up every 5 minutes and close the door after some hipster too lazy to close it themselves to stop the winter air from freezing the whole place. FOOD: nothing special. The coffee expensive and small. I really just buy it for the right to use their wifi and workspace.
Fantastic avocado toast and super good latte.
Incredible breakfast burrito and coffee!
After reopening this all barista ran Cafe has blossomed into its own. Same great coffee and the guys always remember my order.
The ONLY café on Bedford Ave. as far as Im concerned. im happy a few of the baristas from the previous ownership bought the place and have turned the cafe into what Is becoming a true N. Brooklyn institution.
Absolutely wonderful cafe! The owners are wonderful, the place is adorable and the food and drink delicious! Best cortado Ive ever had.
Best breakfast burrito in town hands down. They should add a little more eggs to it to make it perfect.
My regular laptop working cafe. Always nice and quiet. Plus they have an amazing hot chocolate :)
I love this place. Very friendly stuff and good quality matcha!! It’s not easy to found a good matcha in Brooklyn. Thank you guys!
They make a killer flat white and I love their overnight oats! Support local coffee shops by giving this place a try.
Good coffee, decent pastries, and some truly weird other drink options. Often crowded and they discourage long laptop camping.
With excellent coffee (both hot and cold brew) and a beautiful outdoor patio in the back, this is an excellent Cafe to visit when in Williamsburg, Brooklyn!
My favorite coffee shop in Williamsburg. All local only the best. Check it out early and often!
Love this coffe shop. I visit each and every time Im in town. Best coffee on Bedford!
Stopped by for a cortado, it was my first time. The coffe was nice . The service was on point ,friendly and timely.
Customer service here is non existent. I called to ask a simple question and instead of answering me the woman on the phone said hop on that google. How about she googles manners and downloads some. Never purchasing from here.
Cosy café with great vegan options. I very much appreciate the patio the back and if course the friendly service.
Incredibly awesome cafe - I love the cortado I got with the almond milk they make themselves!
I think they have the best coffee in the neighborhood. Plus the people that work there are the nicest
An excellent spot- friendly staff, wonderful garden and awesome food. Youll have a good time!
Fantastic coffee shop. Best in Williamsburg for a nice day when you want to sit outside.
Great espresso drinks, coffee and treats! Super friendly service and great vibes.
Nice staff, good coffee.little pricey, but so are most things in the area.
Not so good. You have to wait about 15 minutes for one cappuccino and only if they not forget about you. Very disappointed.
Sandwich was fairly good. Not a huge portion but adequate. I didn’t even mind that they were playing Billy Joel!
Great frech press coffee, a little bit of attitude but its hard to get a great cup without in this town
Great bagel
Cool coffee shop. Way better than Starbucks. Please preserve these coffee shops.
Superb coffee, great atmosphere and very friendly staff.
Great place. Cool atmosphere. My iced americano was perfect. Nice outdoor space out back.
One of my local favorites BY FAR. amazing homemade nut milks and cosy vibe.
Great coffee, great food, great location! And sexy as hell staff ;)
Best coffee ever. Lovely place to sit and just have a chat ♡
Love Cafe Beit! Solid space, good coffee and great staff
Excellent spot! Great coffee, awesome staff, love the atmosphere
Worst matcha of all time - coffee is okay... don’t order the matcha.
I love the golden boys & their golden milk. Srsly though best cafe of all time.
A cozy cafe. I ordered a chai latte with almond milk (which they do their own).
Small, hip, with excellent small plates. Very expensive, but if you know that going in, its a very nice place.
Esspresso bean us subparStaff were nice. Good barista too bad bean was bitter
Lovely staff, nice outdoor space, good selection of vegan items. :-)
Great coffee and snacks, like vegan chocolate chip cookies!!
Great coffee and friendly staff. Back patio when I gets warm.
Sweet little coffee place. Great for a drink and chat. :)

Nice little place with a courtyard
Great service, busy.
Great place. Great atmosphere.
Best lattes EVER
Yummy muffins!
Almond Croissants!!!
Great coffee
Great cappuccino
I hate this guy.
Goood coffee
I had the almond latte and it was delicious. I thought it would be warm almond milk because it was an almond latte, but its a latte that comes with coffee. I also ate a vegan lemon pound, and its delicious. Please visit
The price of coffee is not so good, but it seems to be the best for my taste among the junk, jordan art, mud and blue bucket. It is not unique compared to other coffees, but it is soft and very mild. To list the sourness and bitter taste, Jordan Art> Blue Bartlet> = Sukk> Mud> El Beat in order ~ ~
Cozy cafeteria on Bedford Avenue. They have free wifi and it is usually full of people working, so when it is cold it is not always easy to get a table. But, in summer, it is a great place to have a drink because it has a very spacious and quiet back terrace. In the heart of Williamsburg but with a slow pace.
Very nice and cozy. Rich toast and coffee. affordable price for NY and very correct attention.
Good breakfast but I expected better on the quality of desserts, recommended anyway.
Good choice of coffees. Inner courtyard perfect for sunny days.

2022-03-02Absolutely love this location! The staff is super friendly and social, the vibe is wonderful, and this is a great spot to get work done. I really enjoyed my hibiscus iced tea and croissant.
Review №2
2022-05-03My ratings is lower because I had much higher expectations. The coffee was pretty good. The food , not so. The service was good, although if you want to sit in, you still have to order from the street. Might be due to covid related changes, but common, nobody is keeping this now.The backyard is nice but the competition around seems to me like having much better Choi
Review №3
2022-05-21Great coffee, but dine-in experience could be better - you have to order from the street window and there is no table service. Cool backyard though!
Review №4
2022-06-21Lovely people, but food is premade and kept warm in a…. thingy. really dry. everything is served in disposable packaging even if you’re staying. sandwiches wrapped in foil, drinks in paper cups. no plates or silverware. just gets handed to you as you walk through. actually kind of reminded me of a cantina on an army base! could also be much nicer inside but feels like little care has been made. I like a raggedy backyard, but it’s just really dirty. very much what you would expect from a shop off bedford unfortunately.

2022-07-22Very mushy breakfast burrito that was too hot and fell apart. beans in the burrito made the tortilla soggy. would not go there again

2017-03-16Cute café in the heart of Brooklyn. Great coffee and talented baristas. Dont miss the back patio when its nice out! Homemade almond milk is amazing!

2021-09-02The breakfast burrito was incredible! Great flavors, nice fluffy eggs, and a soft tortilla.My cappuccino was a little too foamy (which could just be my personal preference) but the espresso they used for it is great. Perfect time of year to enjoy the back patio.

2019-11-05Our favourite breakfast cafe when weve stayed in a hotel nearby for a vacation. Tasty bagels, sandwiches, great coffee selection. I definitely recommend the breakfast burrito. They have a garden in the back which I liked very much, its quiet and relaxed.
