BOYFRIEND co-op

Boyfriend is already my new favorite café/bar in Brooklyn. The décor is absolutely adorable—every corner is photo-worthy. It’s super spacious, perfect for group hangouts, dates, and solo time working on a laptop or reading a book. Their coffee is top-notch-- the cardamom rose latte is a must yum!! Their cocktails are well-crafted and actually taste as good as they look. Drink and food prices are affordable.

First of all, the space is so openly inclusive and queer, I felt at home straight away. The space is massive with plenty of corners to get some quiet time to yourself while reading a book. The decor is to die for. I am drawn to the illustrations and art that is all over the place. The drinks are also very well thought out and gorgeous! I have yet to join any of their events, but everything seems to be fun and entertaining! They also carry my favourite beer brand, Back Home!

Such a cool spot - the first cooperatively run cafe, bar, and event space in NYC! Queer run, affordable, and witchy vibes. The cocktails were delicious and the decor creates an inviting atmosphere. I love it and can't wait to come back!

oooh obsessed with this spot!! it’s so gorgeous and witchy, and everyone was really friendly there. i had the soup which was delicious and boyfriend spritz was so refreshing and bold!

Such an amazing space to have. Boyfriend is one of those places that's more than just surface-level inclusion. They're actively participating in ways to bring the neighborhood, natives and transplants, together. Also, a co-op bar is an extremely impressive business model, and one that tells me that fairness and community are above all to the owners. I went in the evening for drinks and the atmosphere was so nice and welcoming. The drinks are also so delicious, such a well-thought-out cocktail menu.

First time here today. Love the space, and decor. Luci was an amazing barista. Got an iced coffee. It was just perfect. Def need to come back and check out their cocktails. Great vibes and amazing hospitality!

If you know, you know. During the day Boyfriend is a cute and casual coffee shop to get some work done or meet a date; at night it’s a laid-back lounge with lovely cocktails and lovelier lesbians. The space is large, clean, and wonderfully decorated in velvet and vintage ephemera; the events are always full of energy and flushed smiling faces. Plus it’s worker owned!

A spectacular Queer bar and cafe with cozy vibes and affordable drinks. I loved the mocktail offerings with fresh ingredients. It has an inclusive atmosphere for everybody, in true cooperative fashion. Looking forward to another visit!

Ok, I've found a new favorite work location. It's very new so it's not too crowded, the drinks are very tasty, service is kind and quick, and the vibes are impeccable. I ordered the "Lavender Marriage" which is a lavender iced coffee. Loved it! There are plenty of outlets and lots of table space. I'm excited to go at night when they're in bar form!

Everyone talks a big game about wanting a queer bar that's also a coffee shop - that's Boyfriend! I usually come for the coffee shop vibes but love that I can end a writing session with a cocktail (the boyfriend spritz is the elite choice for your money.) The folks who work here are kind and friendly and make the vibe so welcoming - this is exactly what you're looking for. I know a place, etc. My only complaint is that the outdoor space is better suited for smoking than for vibing but let's be real, under the JMZ that's just a fact of life lol.
