Botani Cafe

devocion is the coffee so it’s automatic five star. the hot coffee cups leak pretty badly so be careful. all the pastries are absolutely bussin. and the staff is very nice and attentive. don’t expect to have a nice coffee with your mom and just chat like you could fifteen years ago, this is a workspace for aspiring locals that refuse to go work at a library. just a bunch of fake locals.

Nice, clean cafe with a sleek ambiance and some light plant decorations. Super friendly staff. Dog friendly. Nice design coffee cups. And the coffee itself is quite good, slightly more mature than others I've had. It's like a medium- dark roast on the decaf. I ordered a decaf americano with some pistachio milk. Wish there was more seating and places to work and spicy chai but other than that it's great.

I LOVE this coffee shop! The concept is obviously wonderful, but the layout and design is beautiful. The shop owner was meticulous about making this space feel open and peaceful and the perfect place to sit and enjoy coffee before getting your day started. Speaking of coffee?! Its so good here, high quality and the price point isnt too bad. The baristas here are all so very sweet and knowledgeable and are detailed about making sure your order is as you like it. If you’re looking for great coffee and lovely design…BOTANI is it.

Super friendly staff with a green and airy atmosphere. I like their deco choices, too. Their iced chai latte was really good; I’m less of a fan of the croissant but I would visit here again. Good place to read or get work done.

I waited to visit this place 3 times before writing a review. The first time we dined in and the last two times we took the coffee to go. The place is small and quaint with seating which can pose as a great place to have your morning coffee. However, the customer service is terrible. When you enter, no one even looks in your direction to greet you with a good morning or even so much as a friendly gaze. Everyone sits around awkwardly waiting for their coffee order to be called because the staff doesn’t say much nor do they tell you to have a seat while you wait or encourage you explore the small items around the shop. The energy is just not inviting, the coffee is decent (which is why we tried 3 times, hoping to feel differently) but it’s a no go moving forward.

I live a few blocks from Botani and it’s easily my favorite coffee shop in Brooklyn/ my favorite neighborhood haunt. Don’t be intimidated by the aesthetically sleek minimalist decor and stylish staff- the vibe is very laid back and the people are very warm/ it’s actually the sort place where you make friends with the barristas, with other regulars, and (most importantly) with other regulars’ dogs. The coffee is delicious, the flowers the owner brings in are always beautiful, and it’s a good place to go to work or hang alone or with friends. Also- outlets all over, love that.

New cafe and plant store in Bed Stuy. Good quality refreshments and inclusive community vibes. The owner and staff go above and beyond to take care of customers and lovingly prepared my iced matcha latte with pistachio milk…yum! Highly recommend for the neighborhood and will be back!

Fabulous little neighborhood cafe. Coffee and drinks and vibe always wonderful. My favorites are americano(always strong enough), charcoal tea, iced matcha latte. My only minor notes- gluten free snacks are limited, and seats inside fill up early. That said, they just got umbrellas for outdoor seating, and I’m happy they’re busy :) Wifi for working too! Definitely stop by if you’re nearby!

I had the best hot chocolate I've had in a long time! Friendly staff and overall great service. I love the environment of the coffee shop. Definitely recommend!

Food: 3.5/5 *I tried the matcha latte twice and I enjoy it pretty standard matcha not the strongest but it's okay. I do love that they have the rose syrup which add a very sweet floral taste to my matcha. *I haven't tried any of the food items. But I will say I noticed they had croissants and light pastries nothing heavy. Service: 3/5 service is average nothing to rave about. Be try standard. They do greet you and are pleasant. Ambiance: Standard coffee shop vibe very trendy and minimal. Great space for WFH candidates , or people who just want to get out of the house chit chats and catch up with friends or just have a place to go to get away. It's pretty spacious and they do have outdoor seating.

I've been twice the last two days and it's just terrible vibes all around. Like a previous reviewer said, it's disgustingly hot and humid in the space and NO fans for anyone, employees included, unless that's what they're going for as a "greenhouse" or whatever despite there being little to no plants inside. The employees are rude as all hell who make it obvious they'd like to be anywhere else than being the slightest hint of friendly towards anyone (I get it, we all hate our jobs and there's no ac, but jesus, dude) and I hate places that only have their menus RIGHT at the register so you have to make a split decision on what you want or risk holding up the line. In previous review photos their menu was on the wall so idk why they decided to put it on a single sheet that you don't see until you're ordering. Stupid decision. The first day I visited I was next in line for a solid 5 minutes because both baristas were talking to their friends that were currently ordering and I sweat through my shirt just standing there (see previous comment on how hot and humid this tiny space is). Just take their order and talk to them while making their drinks - hopefully people know how to multitask especially when there's a line that's almost out the door during that moment. Unfortunately, the coffee was mediocre at best. Got a vanilla latte then a chai on different days, both honestly tasted like mud after 3 sips and spent close to $10 on each which is insane because the chai is just a premade concentrate that you add milk to. I would give one star, but the almond croissant I had was actually pretty good and the outdoor seating in the shade is nice, but that's it. There's less mediocre places in Bed-Stuy to get coffee, go there.

Had a great caramel cold brew coffee here. The cashier was very friendly and helpful with assisting me on my order. The vibes are really cute inside, all of the greenery. Gets a bit crowed with everyone sitting on their laptops. But I will definitely come back to treat myself to a ice coffee and perhaps try something else on the menu

7$ for premade rishi chai concentrate mix with milk -photo of full bottle of concentrate for reference

This is a great new spot in Bed Stuy. It's super cute and sleek. Very minimalist except for some plants, but the design is cool. It reminds of of the place that used to be a few blocks away, Domicile. The staff are great and even with their large audience they still sometimes remember your drink order. They have outdoor seating and some indoor tables both a community table and some private ones. They always have the alternative milks for those of us "alternative" people and they even allow doggies to be parked up outside. It's a nice vibe there every time even when I'm just rushing to get a drink and get out. They frequently have something like a candle making the place feel and smell warm too. They also have matcha they do well and some pastries and other local products that match their aesthetic. Definitely go and get your morning coffee and vibe reset here.

The vibes here are terrible. It is always too hot, too humid, like walking into a greenhouse. No breeze, stale air, terrible customer vibes. Cashier had no change, no lids, no vibes.

Beautiful new coffee shop in bedstuy . It's so good to just walk down the block and have a nice coffee shop. It's bright and beautiful and modern . It also has loads of plants , you can purchase . They have coffee and matcha and other drinks . They also have pastries vegan and non vegan . I got the chocolate loaf cake which was pretty tasty and matcha which was delicious and strong . I came here just to journal and just chill and relax and I loved the space the energy was very chill . It seems like a nice place for people to work and read and hang with their friends and talk over a nice cup of coffee . Come through y'all !

My friend's boyfriend works here and it's owned by a Filipino person so love that! Bright lighting and cute plants. I got a chai latte with whole milk and it had a really lovely hint of spice I enjoyed with a nicely textured foamy milk throughout! The barista had on cute pants today.

I've come here quite a bit because I live around the corner and just liked it because it was super spacious and decent coffee + pastries ... but today I felt god here. I spilled my matcha latte all over my MacBook and was freaking out and immediately the baristas swooped in and helped me clean up ... I was swearing like crazy and they were so nice... they even made me another drink without me asking which I wasn't even expecting...thank you

Used to like this spot a lot but these days they play the loudest yassified house top 40 mixes like Beyoncé, SZA, insert 150bpm female pop princess here, bumped up to 10. Have no problem with these artists it's just 11am on Tuesday and I'm trying to do some work. Maybe it's to keep foot traffic up and prevent people from parking up for too long. If so, it's working.

Good coffee. Great people. Nicely done minimalist vibe. Music is on point. Just an all around excellent neighborhood cafe.

@cafeandbotani nice coffee or matcha place on a quiet Bed-Stuy corner. Sit outside, take a break, sip on an oat matcha and enjoy life in Brooklyn.

Walking around The neighborhood in need of a warm fall beverage, this Cafè is definitely a go-to for me. I was greeted at the door with a compliment and stayed for awhile to work. The people there are dope as well as the employees. If you're looking for a chill spot to write, read, or work in the area. This one should do the trick

My new favorite place! Sadly I'm not in the neighborhood, but it's worth the trip for the lovely atmosphere and great coffee. I also got to try their overnight oats, and they're delicious! Thanks y'all!

Awesome cafe in Bed Stuy . Great coffee from Devocion. Great place to get work done. Great staff who are super friendly. And to top it off great local artisan items for sale. Awesome addition to the hood
