Muse Cafe and Tea

“No frills local cafe with surprisingly large menu and drinks selection including smoothies. The pastries are homemade and delicious. A few outside tables and decent inside seating options. Very Brooklyn. Pleasant and friendly service. Very kids friendly. Not very laptop friendly.”

“Muse Cafe & Tea might be one of the only spots in NYC that actually understands the early-morning remote worker. I came in just before 8am on a weekday, most cafes around here don't even open until 10 and not only were they open, but they were fully staffed, welcoming, and ready to go. Super rare. The food was surprisingly great for a cafe: I had a pressed sandwich with egg, turkey, greens, and tomato--fresh, warm, and not overly greasy. Their espresso was bold and well-pulled, no burnt taste. Even the little salad on the side was fresh and colorful. What really makes this place stand out is the vibe. It's quiet, spacious enough to get work done, and you're not battling techno music or crammed into a corner. If you're looking for a calm, early open cafe with real food and space to think, Muse nails it. Bonus: tons of menu options, friendly service, and they're open from 7am on weekdays. This place is a go-to for anyone who starts their day early and wants to avoid the chaotic brunch crowd.”

“Great tucked away corner cafe to meet for a morning breakfast meeting with good coffee. They have a large selection of your traditional pastries but also the savory specials of the day like the spinach turnover is amazing. If you don't see anything then they also offer made to order breakfast items like breakfast burritos / wraps which are great. The space is low key and quiet. Highly recommend this cafe ”
