Daytime

Kind staff at Daytime who greeted regulars with conversation. I had an iced cortado which was just the right size. Also, I had a breakfast sandwich and was delighted that you can pick and choose some extra add ons. Grabbed an everything croissant that was yummy too but wish I had asked for it to be warmed up because it was a little on the cold side.

Food and coffee are excellent. I had the egg sandwich with beer bacon, and it was absolutely delicious. The espresso was smooth, strong, and honestly one of the best I’ve had in the area. The space is beautiful, lots of plants, big windows, and a relaxed design. But the music was way too loud for the morning. Nonstop techno at full volume made it impossible to focus or take calls. I had to leave early to get work done somewhere else. Great place for a quick bite or casual hangout, but definitely not ideal for working remotely unless you’re bringing headphones and don’t mind the volume.

Get the grilled cheese & seasonal pumpkin soup!! The soup isn’t traditional, it’s more brothy which I liked. Was a really good flavor combo of cheesy/creamy & a little sweet 😍 affordable too

I love Daytime. Their food is so fresh and good— not sure what they do to their egg sandwiches but it’s amazing (get the pepper jam). Also, their biscuits are outta this world. My one gripe— 80% of the time I go there, there’s a ridiculously long line. This is on weekdays at random morning times (8:30am on a Wednesday?) and weekends are even worse. When I see it, I dip and go elsewhere. I’m sure the baristas enjoy making bank, but perhaps investing in a second person during regular times would be a good idea so more folks can be served (I think they do this on weekends)? At the very least, something is lacking on management’s part when it comes to optimizing the processes to allow quick service on the part of their staff. Daytime— I’m glad people love you, but it doesn’t need to be this way! Please fix your service time issue. Giving 5 stars regardless because I love you.

Super cute little cafe. Really interesting menu options + all of the fun drinks! There is a bar for seating + WiFi. Great place to perch and get some work done. Very friendly barista as well!

Their roasted mushroom Gruyère sandwich is so delicious and very filling. One of my fave sandwiches. Lattes are solid too. Around 4 window high top seats and 2 outdoor seats

I’m always been a lime-lemon fan of everything, so when I knew they were going to have a Lemon Lime Curd Sandwich Cake with Toasted Vanilla Meringue I had to try it, I would say it was really good and I’ll come back for this. It was my first time been here, the place is cute & the staff is friendly. They have plenty of options between food and drinks. I just wish they have more seating.

I randomly walked into this café after my yoga class, and now it’s saved on my list—I’ll definitely be back! The staff is very polite, and they have soy milk for coffee, which is important to me. Great spot!

I went into this capitalist business trying to grab a bite on a quiet Sunday morning and support a local establishment, and then I noticed the sign that warns me to speak in a way that gave me extreme anxiety, in worrying and fearing how I should speak in a way that I wouldn't untentionally trigger someone. Now I have anxiety and don't feel safe to order here. I just wanted to get something to eat. I don't want to go to a place where I have to worry about being misinterpreted, discriminated against or shamed for my speech. I felt unsafe and feared being served here. I have a disability and an accent and didn't want to risk being misinterpreted or judged, so I left. I never felt so uncomfortable in a place like this before. Thank goodness I left before trying to place an order. I don't want any potential conflict when trying to support a local business while spending my hard earned money

Great food and espresso, but way too loud to work Daytime looks like the kind of café you'd want to post up at for a few hours, plants in the window, sunlight across the counter, cozy wood interior. The menu's thoughtful, the service is quick, and the espresso is genuinely excellent. I had the egg sandwich with beer bacon and loved it. The flavor was there, the portion was right, and everything came out fast. The coffee was also fantastic: smooth, bold, no bitterness. But here's the dealbreaker: the music. It was loud, fast-paced techno, more suited for a nightclub than a morning café. I couldn't focus, couldn't take a call, and had to leave to get anything done. If you're looking for a great coffee and a spot to sit for a while without needing to concentrate, this place is a gem. Just don't expect to work or think clearly if the music's at the same level it was when I was there.

I got a grilled cheese but the cheese isn't all the way melted in the middle a bit sadd and the coffee was just ok but lots of pastries option and the sesame cookie was good. I ended up heating the grilled cheese at home and applied more heat so it melted all the way. Small interior but friendly barista.

This used to be one of my favorite places for delicious food and a friendly neighborhood atmosphere. Sadly this all changed with one simple sign on the counter . The sign might seems innocent enough, but behind the words it conveys a passive aggressive and antagonistic tone which is quite off putting and dismissive.

Whoa, magical spot in my old 'hood with housemade pastries. Adorable, good value with a killer croissant they bake off with the dough from Colson. Lovely granola. Light, bright lovely and the most lovely staff makes me nostalgic for Windsor Terrace, always a lovely hamlet.

still a great spot for coffee and pastries. but i don't feel like staying long due to the lack of normal tables. they removed the tables for covid and made some bar seating. not conducive to a comfortable lunch. but i'll continue coming for my short coffee breaks.

I used to frequent this coffee shop often during my lunch hour. When you have time to wait, the sandwiches, coffee and snacks are pretty good. Unfortunately whenever I come in lately I find myself waiting for the baristas to finish an order, conversation or maybe they take too long to notice me when I'm rushing to get a decent lunch during school hours. This happens often and makes me leave and not want to come back or stay

Get to the Chase: Pros: 1) Fast Service 2) Cute place to chill and take a leg rest with variety of eats (sandwiches, salads, coffee, and snacks) 3) Has a bathroom 4) Kid friendly Cons: 1) The price for sandwiches were a bit high 2) Food was decent, but wouldn't say anything special 3) Coffee was ok

This seems like a pretty popular spot! There was line spilling out of their small cafe at around 12:30-1 on a weekend. I got the prosciutto and fig sandwich with herb-whipped ricotta and preserved lemon, which was really tasty and light, and came with dressed greens and pickles. I also couldn't resist getting something from their bevy of baked goods on display, and the maple banana bread was great, so moist and flavorful. They had a few different latte flavors and I opted for the vanilla maple latte, which was fine but just tasted like a regular latte to me. I didn't see any indoor seating, just a few benches and seats outside, but luckily I was planning to bring my lunch to the park anyway. They offer a few other intriguing sandwiches and toasts (I'm looking at you, mushroom toast), so I'd be down to return on another beautiful day and stock up on some muffins and cake slices while I'm at it.

Easy to miss from the outside and fairly small inside. The day I visited, the line was out the door. It seems there's one cook so there was a bit of a wait. I was in the mood to try something different so I ordered the prosciutto & fig sandwich. It was well prepared and interesting. The toasted brioche bun was really good. I'm a fan of figs and preserved lemon so the pairing with ricotta and prosciutto was... interesting. I ate the entire sandwich before I knew what was happening. The side salad was a nice dash of acid and cappuccino was really good. If I were to order it again, I'd ask for a little less prosciutto. Otherwise, when trying something different goes well.

Came in to pick up a mobile order, but was told that they never received the order and had nothing for us. The situation was a bit annoying, but things happen; however, it was mostly just the attitude of the barista that made the experience terrible. She didn't apologize or say anything reassuring-- in fact, she seemed angry that we had asked for a refund or to make us what we ordered. Very disappointing experience.

Cute neighborhood spot with good cold brew. I can't speak to any of the other drinks. The egg sandwiches are small but come on a brioche bun and are pretty good too if you want a small bite. They have a nice selection of pastries as well. Not really a sit down place as they only have stool seating along the windows and wall. There also seems to be a line whenever I go, even if there are only a few people inside.

Great spot for a quick breakfast! Got their white bean dip sandwich and the ham and cheese sandwich and both were delicious. The white bean dip is flavorful and light and the sandwich is loaded with tons of fresh veggies; couple with the brioche bun it was delish. Same with the ham n cheese as well.. very generous with the meat and they use a really good pungent mustard to make the sandwich yummy. Both sandwiches came with dresses greens and gherkins. Also got a croissant on a friends recommendation - it was so buttery and flaky. Do note that they don't have any indoor seating and have a couple of small benches outside on a first come first serve basis. Glad to have discovered another breakfast spot close by..will be dropping in soon to try the rest of their menu soon!

Message to the cooks here at Daydream. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. The least you can do is turn the heat up enough to melt the cheese on your "grilled cheese" sandwich. As I opened m my sandwich & examined the cheese slices I turned to the open kitchen where both cooks were staring at me, as if they were gauging how I would react to this ill prepared sandwich. I just left it right where it was. Doesn't cost much to lose a customer.

The Good: Great coffee and food. The Bad: Not enough staff, overworked and rude baristas, a line out the door every single time. You will wait at least 25 minutes for your drip coffee as the barista has to ring up each customer and then make every single espresso drink ahead of you. Why they can't hire a second barista to work behind the counter to speed up this process - I do not understand. What finally prompted this review: A frustrating experience where I tried to return a pie tin from the Thanksgiving pie I had ordered from them, which had a slip in the bottom of the box that said "Save this Tin - please return and receive a complimentary coffee or punch on your punch card". When I brought the pie tin to the barista she looked at me like I had three horns coming out of my head and told me "I know nothing about this" and charged me for my coffee. I pulled out the slip and explained the coffee was supposed to be complimentary. As I tried to explain where it came from to her she walked off mid-sentence without looking at me to take the tin to the kitchen. I felt very embarrassed and like I had done something wrong, despite trying to do something nice by returning the tin. Not my fault that this wasn't communicated to her by management.

Great spot for a delicious breakfast and coffee! Stopped by here before heading to Prospect Park and had a great experience. Got their prosciutto and fig sandwich and it was extremely fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend.

Very nice people, healthy sandwiches, nice bakery, great coffee...terrific neighborhood place!

Our daughter told us about this cafe and although it was quite a hike from south Prospect Park, it was worth it! We ordered the roasted Turkey & bacon sandwich. It was so good & filling! It also came with arugula salad. The dining area (counter & bar stool) is limited. But the good part is that the restroom is clean

I found this spot from Yelp. I had to kill time between medical appointments and wanted to get coffee and food. I tried a Mushroom and Gruyere grilled sandwich. The bread was very good very crunchy and tasty. The sandwich was bigger and thicker than i thought it would be. The cheese was perfectly melted, the mushrooms were sautéed with onions and it had greens in it maybe spinach or watercress? I'd it lacked anything it was a sauce. I think a spicy mustard or a mayonnaise (or maybe both) would have made it even better. It costs about $12 and it was worth it, I ate the other half for dinner. I had a special maple decaf latte and it was decent but a little pricey at $5.00. It's probably a typical price but I usually just get a regular decaf. The store is small so there's no indoor seating. They have a few benches outside one has a little table connected to the bench so it's a little awkward to eat or drink anything outside. Overall a nice Brooklyn neighborhood gem and a good find.

I like the coffee and pastries here, as well as the friendly community vibe. Like other reviewers, though, I often find the wait time extraordinary since there's generally one staff member working as both barista and cashier. I've also had weird experiences with payment: once, a 50% tip was added to my drip coffee order without me noticing (left the shop in a hurry...because of the wait time). Another time, a drink was a totally different price when rung up vs. what the menu listed. So...enjoy, but check your receipt carefully.

While Park Slope and Windsor Terrace aren't exactly the hippest places in Brooklyn (to my Bushwick brethren: at least the F isn't as awful as the L!), your neighbors probably haven't heard of this cool new breakfast spot in the neighborhood yet because it's tucked away on Windsor Place. Compared to the hustle and bustle of Prospect Park West, Daytime is a breath of fresh air. It's the perfect place to soak up some sun (great for all of those plants in front of the windows and for your pale winter survivor's complexion) while enjoying some avocado toast. I've had my fair share of avocado toast as a 20-something Californian, and Daytime's avocado toast is the perfect balance of wallet-friendly and that extra oomph. Pickled shallots?! Arugula?! For $11 (that's an extra $2 for an egg sunny-side up), you really can't ask for much more.

Great little coffee shop. The coffee and the service is great. Wish it were open later in the evening

Great food but horrible service. They usually have one person on the register who is also responsible for making coffee. Everything takes 10x as long.

New cafe in the neighborhood! Great location, easily accessible by public transit or bike, right near the park. Pleasant place to sit and enjoy the sunshine. Outlets for your devices and free WiFi. Serve yourself water from the cooler. Excellent espresso coffee here, and plenty of vegetarian meal and snack items. There's a grilled mushroom sandwich that's just one of the most delicious things I've eaten lately, and the peanut butter cookies are dangerous. Friendly service, and if you're a musician, you might bump into friends here :)

I love Daytime and am so excited that they've been able to persevere through the pandemic. I'm a Barista and one of my favorite things to do when I'm off work, is go to coffee shops (duh). I've been going to Daytime for a year now and am never disappointed in the quality of their coffee drinks. I'm also always hella impressed with the professional and friendly baristas. The baristas are coffee professionals, and I've never had any negative interactions with any of them. I think it's easy to forget that a barista is responsible for waking up incredibly early, to take a subway car or bus (which, I mean, the MTA is no stranger to delays/reroutes) to open up within a timeframe of 30 minutes, to then serve genuine and fresh moment-to-moment interactions while being friendly, looking out for allergy concerns, and at this shop, ensuring that food orders are rung up to the exact note that the kitchen staff need in order to provide successful food service. The shop is also gorgeous, covered in plants and wide windows. The food is spectacular and delicious, it's always a pleasure to come in and smell whatever special is being whipped up. Thank you Baristas, Kitchen Crew, and Owner for all the hard work that you're doing to lift everyone's spirits during this crazy and unprecedented time.

the barista seems angry at meusually they r nice. I usually get the blueberry muffin but got the carrot. get the blueberry. tea and coffee great. and sandwiches too

Love it here. Best chai, delicious English muffin and homemade pepper jelly. I crave this!

When it's busy, it's busy so if you're willing to wait it out, the spot is amazing. From the sweetness of the staff to the incredible Everything Croissant all their items will have you wanting more!

Really cute little cafe. Not a ton of seating but there is a sign that says seating is communal, so there's usually somewhere. They have great teas (best soy chai latte I've had in a while) and I've always been really happy with the high quality, delicious food here. Since it's small, it can get a little busy and crowded, but getting take out is totally worth it, too. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because it really is small and therefore the service can start to get very slow - they service is always very friendly, though.

I don't usually write yelp reviews, but I'll make an exception for this one. I loved Daytime. I've spent much of my hard earned money here because the food is great and you're able to sit inside. I've even gone back twice in one day. However, they very rudely told me to leave just now to make room for all the non-existent customers in the place. After all the money I've spent here as a full time working student, I'm sick of these places acting this way. Daytime, you won't be me seeing me here anymore! Good riddance. That isn't how you treat PAYING customers. If you want to get work done somewhere count this place out. I wish I could get a refund for the thousands of dollars I've spent there this summer alone.

Extremely small, ridiculously overpriced, and bound to fail. Ignore most reviews as they are clearly posted by employees and friends of the owners. This place offers tiny portions of plain food, for extremely high prices, in a tiny space so off the beaten path, it really needs to be a destination to draw customers. This is a middle class neighborhood that simply won't pay double the price for mediocre food simply because it's a hipster instagram concept - they're dime a dozen. Save your money. There are better and cheaper places in the neighborhood. Plus, they might actually have seats for you to relax in.

Beautiful light-filled spot w nice ppl working there, great coffee that they roast themselves and very tasty sandwiches. just got their beer and wine license too. the egg sandwich is extremely addictive and goes especially well w avocado or ham and pepper jelly.

The food was delicious. I'm also obsessed with the plant cutting library. 1 star missing only because of limited seating. I don't want to think this is more of a take out place. The ambiance is too good for that.

Berkshire ham sandwich is , place is bright, airy, and comfortable. My wife got the egg sandwich with bacon, also delicious. I live a few miles away, but will definitely be back.

Holy Smoked Turkey! This sandwich was delicious. I was not expecting a sandwich of this caliber when I happened upon this small cafe next to Prospect Park in Windsor Terrace. The guys behind the counter are true sandwich artists. I got the smoked turkey sandwich on a FRESH baguette with bacon, pepper jam, arugula, and some sweet gherkins on the side and my wife got the croissant w scrambled eggs and avocado.

Someone finally figured out what to put in this perfect little space on a lovely neighborhood block. A great little cafe with excellent coffee, bien cut pastries, amazing egg sandwich and incredibly fresh, tart yogurt. I know. How exciting can yogurt be? Seriously, this yogurt spoils you for all others. Pretty perfect little cafe. Nice.

I had the mushroom melt and cheese melt sandwich. I had cold brew coffee. Both were amazing even though a little expensive. I also had a delicious chocolate chip cookie.

I popped in here on a whim as I was in the neighborhood and wanted something to eat. It's a small cafe with a few bar stools at the counter, and about 5 or so tables. They have a good selection of coffee and tea along with pastries and heartier options like eggs, oatmeal and grilled cheese sandwiches. They also have a punch card, where on your 8th punch, you can get a free coffee. Would recommend if in the area and looking for a place to get coffee or a pastry.

I love everything about this place. The atmosphere is lovey. The coffee is great and the food is amazing!! My go to in the morning is the scrambled egg, cheese and bacon on brioche. There is nothing I would change about Daytime. It's a cute, place tucked Into a fantastic neighborhood.

Honestly I'm hesitant to leave a good review because I feel like this place is my undiscovered gem! Lovely people, delicious sandwiches, hibiscus ice tea (a personal fav) and housemade chai all in a quiet atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle of saturated Park Slope. Also as a side comment -the ice in their drinks lasts so much longer than anywhere else, I really want to know their secret!

Favorite cafe. Great baristas & staff. Delicious food & perfect coffee. Always incredibly sweet to me & my baby.

One of the newest places in Windsor Terrace and a place to visit for sure with so many options !

Currently the best coffee n Windsor Terrace. Baked goods have improved. Sandwiches good though expensive. Lovely atmosphere.

Everything at Daytime is perfect. Lovely selection of snacks, meals, and beverages all at fair prices and excellent quality. The space is beautiful and sunny and is at a fun location in the neighborhood where lots of commuters, neighborhood workers, and people associated with the school across the street are coming and going. It's a nice cross-roads/hub sort of space and feels very ingrained in the neighborhood despite only being a few months old! Great service, too. You can tell that Joey the owner really care about the quality of product and experience. My only suggestion is that the decaf espresso can be a bit stale-tasting sometimes, perhaps because I'm one of only a few people ordering it.

This place has good food and nice staff but they need they firm up a laptop policy. The past three times I've been there all the tables are occupied by people working on laptops and long done eating. Being a small space it's a problem that they try to combat by saying it communal but the very tiny bistro tables are pretty intimate. It makes for either uncomfortable situation, lots of hovering and no place to sit and eat so if you are looking to sit down to eat, you may want to go elsewhere.

Daytime is absolutely amazing. Everything about this place screams quality. I am really happy that we got Savory Oatmeal, this was one of their greatest dishes, really flavorful and delicious. The team members are all incredibly nice and helpful. Daytime... What's not to like?

Coffee is good. We ordered eggs and cheese on multi grain bread. It was gross - greasy and bread was mediocre. If I was just reviewing coffee I'd give it a 3.5. Maybe other menu items are better...

A fantastic little cafe that has good coffee, great sandwiches, and even a small grocery section (mostly hot sauces, pasta, and condiments). My go-to is the egg sandwich with avocado on brioche. The staff is lovely and service is prompt. Daytime is a great addition to the neighborhood.

Stopped by for breakfast and devoured my perfectly toasted egg and cheese sandwich. Coffee and lattes are great and now I don't have to go all the way to Boerum Hill for my Bien Cuit chocolate croissant! Customer service is excellent. I'll definitely be coming back to this lovely spot!
