One of the happiest little life moments—stumbling upon a cozy neighborhood café completely by chance.
Tucked away on a quiet street in the historic Brooklyn Heights and right next to the famous Cloudy Donuts, I was instantly drawn to Nako by its clean, minimalist aesthetic. It turns out they just opened their doors four months ago.
In a city overflowing with aesthetic cafes, Nako has already won me over. They serve artisan coffee and pour-overs using quality beans. The gorgeous handmade ceramic mugs to the beautifully poured latte art genuinely made me smile.
*Nako Latte $7
I got their signature Nako Latte, a latte infused with cardamom syrup and made with a special house milk blend (mix of whole and cashew milk). It was lightly sweet and subtly spiced—I'll definitely get this again.
*Mint Lemon Iced Tea $5
Very minty—perfect if you're a fan! My boyfriend really loved this one. Refreshing and bold, especially on a warm day.
