"I went to Corto, which is a coffee shop in Bed-Stuy, and I had an oat-milk latte, decaf. I was already back on the oat milk — couldn’t stay away."

This review is about sustainability only! By 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. Over 95% of the plastic that we produce and consume does not actually get recycled, but rather ends up in landfills, incinerators, in our oceans, and in our bodies as microplastics. While I am happy to see that your shop offers for-here, reusable mugs and plate ware and cutlery to customers, it seems that no one knows to ask for them. Not one person in your coffee shop the other day was drinking out of a multi-use, real cup. Instead, those who were there to work, meet a friend, or read a book, were drinking out of cups made from fossil fuels. Even when ordering a drink in a mug for here, I still got my drink in a throwaway plastic cup. I think there would be some simple fixes like being clear with your customers to see if they are staying for their beverage. And then making sure they get the reusable. Or perhaps, at least you can promote the availability of real mugs, or incentivize people to bring their own, on your socials. Because I see that you offer real plates for people eating a snack here, I can assume that you would have the capacity to offer and clean real mugs. But we can’t continue to normalize such a rampant and reckless use of plastic every single day. Especially here in this waterfront city. Thank you for listening to my concerns, and thinking about how both the customer and the purveyor can work together toward a healthier Brooklyn. The plastic waste crisis will not solve itself, and we need businesses and customers on board to mitigate it.

Among our clients on Supp, Corto is probably one of my favorites, and not just because I am Italian lol The vibes are super chill. This is an awesome spot to have a small bite, do some remote work, and, most importantly, get your mid-afternoon caffeine boost with a nice, good espresso. They also have a small garden in the back with more seating and a wine bar that I haven't had the pleasure of trying yet. I have to come back on a Friday afternoon, so I don't feel guilty about having a drink while working. Ciao a presto :)

Corto on Halsey Street is incredible! Cristiano, the owner, genuinely cares about every guest, and the staff is so friendly and welcoming. The food is phenomenal, and the espresso is smooth and perfectly balanced. By night, Corto transforms into a vibrant bar with great energy and atmosphere. It’s the kind of place you’ll keep coming back to—highly recommend!

Wonderful smaller coffee shop who sell surprisingly great Italian style sandwiches. NOW for the fun part...Its not a hot chocolate so best to say mocha style drink, out of this world truely. Never have I, ever have I, had a more out of this world chocolately- velvetity- espresso- with cream than the "Bicerin". Come from anywhere and try the bicerin, it's 100% one of the best coffee drinks I've ever had!

Stepped in around early afternoon. Really chill spot for a light meal and coffee. Stylish and cool ppl. The only thing was that the air indoor was smelly since they make sandwiches. I recommend seats at their yard, warm and bright! 🍯🍰Honey spiced cake recommended by the staff was delightful. Moist texture but crumbly. Light flavor but rich spiced! Can’t remember the name of my coffee but was neat! Taste was great. Like an espresso shot but with some foamed milk.

One of my absolute favorite coffee shops! Not only is the coffee delicious and the cafe super cute with plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors, but also the food they sell is absolutely delicious! Their sandwiches are SO GOOD. Pro tip- add truffle honey to the sandwich :) very kind employees as well! Couldn’t recommend more :)

Do NOT visit if you are looking for good coffee, friendly staff, or a nice place to work. After paying $8 for a watery shot of espresso with some whipped cream on top, staff yelled at me for using a laptop (per a very small sign on the exterior window). Staff were not at all apologetic or understanding what seems like a reasonable mistake for a New York coffee shop...where people pay for a place to work.

Such a great neighborhood spot! Whenever I feel homesick for Italian coffee and focaccia, this is where I come. Don't miss out on the bicerin, the typical coffee-chocolate drink of Torino! All ingredients are fresh and that focaccia is incredible.
