Caffe Cafe truly embodies the essence of Bay Ridge—charming, principled, family-oriented, and welcoming. It serves as a beautiful cultural hub for the community. It’s heartening to see it thrive in the face of the terrible illegal pot shops that tarnish our neighborhood. This cafe is inclusive and embraces people of all races, genders, and sexual identities. The quality of the coffee and food is exceptional, and the prices are incredibly reasonable. Thank you for being authentically you. Caffe Cafe exemplifies the best of capitalism by providing value, culture, and employment for the community. Keep being who you are! XO.

Very cute coffee shop. I come here a lot for the atmosphere and their coffee is incredible I love the variety of flavors they offer as well. And great macarons. A bit overpriced

I've ordered coffee here several times, and each time it's been worse than what you'd get at Starbucks, which is quite disappointing. I hesitated to leave a negative review before because the cakes were acceptable. However, today I purchased a chocolate cake that tasted like it had been sitting out for at least two days, leaving me very dissatisfied and disappointed.

As a person of color who used to frequent this place and lives around the block from here, I am incredibly appalled by their lack of consistency in customer service. I usually don 't write reviews but this place deserves one based on two recent experiences I have had here. Today, I ordered a muffin and ice tea while I was working. I was there for about 60 to 70 minutes. I know there is a 90 minute limit and I usually head out at that mark. Cafe cafe needed to seat 4 people. I still had half of my muffin and a quarter of my ice tea left. However, instead of asking me to move to another empty table they served me the check. I would have appreciated them leading with We have a table of 4, would you mind moving? When I did not put my card in with the bill the owner says to me We have a limit of 90 minutes . I understand that places have a turnaround time but I found this dishonest and discriminatory because there was a white female patron who was there before I arrived, yet she was never served a check. I wish it was an isolated incident but a few days ago I went here and the owner/manager made me wait 5 minutes while she counted up the cash register. I missed a work meeting because I was waiting on her. What infuriates me is that I still tipped them for service when they did not deserve it. I came today hoping for a different experience but it was worse. I believe in supporting our local businesses but this place does not deserve my patronage anymore. If this is how they treat frequent patrons they don 't deserve any loyalty.
