Paloma Coffee & Bakery, Williamsburg

THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE PLACE TO GET COFFEE AND PASTRIES IN NYC! I went this past week and went back early the next day because I hadn’t stopped thinking about it. They have so many amazing and beautiful pastries. I had one of their double chocolate cookies that melts in your mouth and has a classic shine top of a brownie, and then the following day had their black sesame pinwheel….SO GOOD. It was not too sweet and had the creamiest filling. The service here also rules. The workers are so kind and it really added to the nice ambiance of their outdoor dining. It really feels like a small local hole in the wall. I highly HIGHLY recommend. I’m going back in a few days myself.

Such a good coffee shop. Had it saved for about a month to try and finally was able to drive and give it a shot and it was worth it 100%. Their Maple Latte is so good not too sweet and perfectly done. Love their coffee cups logo look too. The staff was nice and helped me with picking out a pastry as it was my first time coming here. I picked out the apple pie croissant and it was delicious! Such a huge croissant and filled with apple cinnamon sweet warm taste. Very great portion can be shared. Since it was my first time he suggested I try their banana chocolate muffin I said sure why not. I was not disappointed that first bite was delicious! Flavorful not too chocolately and a perfect balance of both banana and chocolate. Loved how beautiful all their pastries look need to come back to try the rest !! Very small coffee shop no seating inside you just order through the window but I’m sure when the weather gets warmer seating is available outside for those who prefer that. 10/10 experience can’t wait to come back

My friend told me this place has the best coffee - so I ordered a plain drip on a hot day - mistake #1. I waited for the coffee to cool down and sipped slowly on the bench and watched all the people come by for their drive by morning coffees greeted with a friendly prompt server at 7 AM.

I’ve walked past this place a bunch since moving to the neighborhood but never stopped by until this morning - so glad I did!! The coffee was great, the pastries were sooo good and fresh - tried the chocolate croissant and the lemon bun and really enjoyed them both. The service was also very warm :) Will definitely be back!!

I go to Paloma on a daily basis - have been for months. I have never received anything but the best service from all the employees. Brian, Eileen, and Vlad go above and beyond to make customers happy and serve us all with a smile. the pastries are divine, the coffee is beautiful, and the staff is the cherry on top. They know our names, our orders, and genuinely care about our lives and I love seeing all of them as a part of my daily routine.

Loved this spot for an iced latte, a couple croissants and an olive oil cake. They also had this thing similar to a quiche with potato and egg. Mmmm. Everything was delicious. And really yummy, strong coffee.🙏

Great pastries, but extremely absorbent prices ($14 for a normal and ham/cheese croissant). With a crunchy flavorful exterior and countless fluffy, smoothy, and sinfully buttery layers, this croissant (5/5) absolutely incredible and rivals La Bicyclette as one of the top 2 croissants I've tried in NYC. The ham and cheese croissant (5/5) was genius. Artisan ham layered with salty and gooey cheese with a sweet punch from the golden raisins made this literally a perfect pastry. Problem is, I paid $14 just for those 2 things. Otherwise delicious pastries.

Absolutely incredible pastry and service. What more could you ask for? Oh great pastry? Will they absolutely have that too. We are so glad we tried the ones we did. This is a fabulous place to sit on the sidewalk and do some people watching while you enjoy as well. Will definitely be back here.

Stopping in here was a happy accident (meant to go to another Paloma location in BK). This is a small take-out cafe; order at the counter and either take to-go or sit at the 2 outdoor tables. Excellent customer service - Vlad was very kind and welcoming. Delicious savory pastries! The Shakshoukah and chicken shawarma croissants were flavorful, well-balanced with spices and filling to pastry ratio, and the pastry was perfectly buttery, flaky and laminated. The medium-dark roast Colombian coffee Vlad gave us was pretty good & perfectly warming on a cold winter day. My partner appreciates quality coffee and was pleasantly surprised. I'm a tea person & enjoyed a few sips of the coffee. When we're back in BK, we'll visit again!

This is a cute counter cafe that was a short walk from where my friend and I stayed. My friend went the day before and hyped it up. So I went back with her the following day. The guy taking our orders was very nice and he offered a pastry on the house for every new customer. I ended up getting a drink and two pastries! PALOMITA This is their signature drink which was described to me as a latte but with stronger espresso flavor. I thought it was fine, but the espresso notes weren't very memorable. PAIN AU CHOCOLAT The chocolate croissant had bands of hardened chocolate drizzle on top with more chocolate inside. This was good, but very greasy as expected. The croissant was flaky and soft, which is the perfect texture. BLACK SESAME PINWHEEL I was excited for this, but didn't end up loving it. I had a few bites but instead of black sesame, it tasted more like thyme. It's definitely a unique dessert, preference is to each their own! I like their cold brew, which is what my friend had. If I'm back in the future, I'd try a different pastry and enjoy it with a cold brew.

Amazing pastries - their calamansi knot is to die for it is so delicious! All of their croissants are so good. They are an espresso bar of course so I had to get their specialty seasonal latte which was a maple spice latte and it wasn't the best coffee imo and the cups by default were large. Go for the pastries!

What a sweet surprise. Flaky croissant shaped like pinwheel and is actually filled with black sesame cream inside- the black sesame pinwheel. Wish there was more cream as that's the highlight of it and where you can actually taste the black sesame.

I was looking for a coffee shop that focuses on coffee and found this spot - it's a chain that roasts its own beans so I wanted to give it a try! It's a cute little hole in the wall where you walk up to the window to order and pick up your drink and there are some tables and chairs outside. I always get a plain latte so there's no extra sweetener to disguise the true bean flavor and I'll say this was a solid latte! The beans were mildly bitter and were strong with a great flavor. This is definitely better than most coffee shops and I'm glad I got to try! When I come back, I definitely want to try their olive oil cake which looked so good and moist!

When you look up cafe... It surprisingly doesn't pop up on yelp. I've walked past this place a number of times that I know it exists and it's open during morning-early afternoon hours. Seating is only outside. It's quite a hole in the wall spot, with giant letters painted against the wall indicating the name. Their pastries are delicious! I always order something different to try. Coffee is also pretty good so if you're passing by, go stop by.

Holy smokes - can't believe no one has talked about the matcha lattes from this spot. They use kettl matcha powder and the barista put in A LOT of matcha! I was wired from the amount of caffeine (usually I'm not) and just so at shock that this little window coffeeshop had amazing matcha. They definitely don't skimp out. Try it while you can!

Their olive oil cake is lovely. So moist, perfectly sweet, and the slices are quite large. I also enjoyed their miso cookies. These were soft baked with a hint of savory flavor. I didn't much care for their apricot pastries, which were a bit dry.

I'm actually not sure if this is the right place. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's not. The place we went to is tiny and it didn't have the name of the place on it. It just said espresso. When I asked the barista if the pastry was made in House, he replied that it was, but in the other store they have. I know that this pastry was delicious both the pistachio one and the chocolate one. The coffee was really good too.

Excellent blueberry muffin and lovely oil cake. Yummy cortado (called a Palomita). I couldn't get the barista to crack a smile or laugh at my awkward jokes but that's ok. :) Ambiance is cute. It's a very teeny mostly takeaway spot. The other pastries looked so good. Can't wait to go back. Coffee is strong and excellent.

A cute new coffee shop by me. It's very small with little-to-no seating, but the coffee and pastries are worth the visit! I tried their Spiced Oat Nola and it was so tasty! It's their signature cold brew infused with chicory spices. It's creamy and delicious! I also tried this pastry, I don't recall the exact name, but it was like a matcha French toast with almonds and berries on top. Even my boyfriend, who doesn't like sweets, loved it! This might be my new go-to coffee shop!

Delicious single origin drip + croissant! The guy that was there (just opened) was so nice! Highly recommend, I will definitely be a returning customer.

This place is very cute and small! No seating inside so it's much a grab and go situation. In the upcoming warmer months the few tables outside could be a vibe. Coffee was solid, which surprisingly is not as common as you'd think. Unfortunately did not grab food, but the pastries looked so good that I'm determined to come back for one (or four)!

Best coffee place ever! All the coffee and pastries are amazing and the owner is so kind and helpful! 10/10 recommend

Come for the coffee, stay for the super friendly service! Espresso Paloma roasts their own beans (in their little roasters south on Union in Williamsburg), has a little bread selection from She Wolf bakery, and bake their own pastries. The cold brew gives you the perfect morning caffeine buzz and the staff is so welcoming. We'll be coming back again to try some pastries next time.

Unfortunately, I haven't been impressed, which is disappointing because the area could use another specialty coffee shop. I have visited this place a few times now, and waited until they had their espresso machine to post a review. Pros: The staff is very nice and friendly They offer a single origin on drip all the time it seems Cold brew--only tried once--was solid Cons It's pricey, especially for the single origin drip Didn't love the coffee, except for the cold brew. The drips were fine, but not special, and the espresso was too darkly roasted, which really surprised me Looks like they have some nice pastries, but I haven't tried those.

We are staying in Brooklyn down the street from this wonderful coffee shop and bakery. The first day in addition to the delicious cheese scones and apple turnover and olive pound cake the owner plied us with ample cookies and well wishes for our adventures. We've been every day of our mini-trip and it did not disappoint. There are a lot of good things to eat in nyc, but this place is amazing. Miso cookies, tahini and fog cookies, everything we tried was delicious. I have no pictures because you dove right in. And the staff and owner and even their customers are happy kind people! Thank you Paloma!

This place is every reason to shop/eat drink local. The piccolo is their signature small latte. The pastries are made in house... not reheated... but flour... egg...salt... you get it. The hand pie is potato and artichoke. The galette with the egg has sweet potatoes in it... so fresh. It's worth a stop.

Creamiest cold brew ever! Hard to describe so just have to go try it out for yourself
