Amy Wang: Coffee, arepa dish is our fav, also delicious sweet treats. Everything is flavorful, fresh and yum
Jacqui Wheelie: Very nice and friendly owners. Great paninis and coffee 😍
Taiowa Waner: A nice coffee shop on Vanderbilt Avenue. I had the owner whip up a iced mocha which was made with a cocoa powder and was not as sweet as normal and more enjoyable. Definitely worth checking out.

Polish Bar Brooklyn Polish Bar: Yummy breads and sweet treats. Can't get enough of these goodies.
Michael Tyznik: All of the baked goods are amazing, including the vegan and gluten-free cookies (and I say that as someone who is neither). The honey sea salt biscuits are easy to overlook but don't!
Kevin Skobac: The rice crispy ice cream sandwich is one of the worlds great desserts
Walt Walker: My go-to for fresh produce, fishes, herbs, sauces, and sweet treats every Saturday. Right next to the library and Prospect Park. So much to choose from!
James Clark: you have to try the fresh apple donuts! I like the sugar-coated ones (shock!) but the cake ones are great, too
City of New York: Did you know? Located on the intersection of Flatbush Ave and Eastern Parkway, the Central Library has an entryway 50-feet tall, and has over a million books, magazines, and multimedia materials.
