Iced mint CBD Latte is really good but pretty expensive. They also have pasties and cakes.
Small cafe with not much room to work. -

Swallow is a cool little coffee shop with a handful of bar stool seats inside. Outside is a small wooden bench that can sit 2 comfortably, 3 if you squeeze. I've only visited on a Saturday or Sunday.
I love the hot matcha oat milk latte here or cold latte (both around $5), a perfect weekend beverage treat for me. Eats are typically cookies, bagels, croissants, packaged granola bars, packaged energy bites, the usual suspects. I've tried a vegan peanut cookie (about $4). It was tiny for the price and not too memorable, but at least it was a solid vegan option. If would be great if Swallow had better nosh options.
This might've been a 4 star review before, but the cashier gal bumps it to 5 stars. Don't know her name, but she is petite with platinum-ish dyed hair, always warmly greets customers and smiles when anyone enters, yet is not overbearing. She's very patient, will happily answer any questions, is thoughtful, and rings customers up quickly. The barista guy who makes the drinks (wears glasses, is also not super duper tall, slightly stubbly chin) is cool too. They are not the snobby hipster coffee joint workers you usually deal with in Williamsburg. I'll be back! -

Excellent iced almond lattes. Staff takes the time to make it really well. Makes my day every time. Pastries not so good.

Small cafe with minimal seating (seems more of a pick up and go spot- just 6 or so stools against walls). Tried the cannabis iced latte - I'm such a sucker for gimmicks sometimes. The cbd oil isn't psychoactive (no thc) obvi but supposedly has health benefits anyways like pain relief / is anti-inflammatory. Fun to try once - felt like I was drinking a strangely flavored (almost minty?) milk...it's $8 too fyi - not worth the price.

Cute little cafe right across from some thrift stores. Came here after shopping cause I was so hungry. I got a plain bagel with garlic herb cream cheese, a chocolate donut, and a cold brew iced coffee. The bagel was a little burnt but tasted amazing with the cream cheese! I really didn't like the donut at all so I just threw it out and the ice coffee was good. I love the almond milk they use, very tasty.
