Coffee was great and it's a beautiful open space, but what's the point of offering wifi if you aren't allowed a laptop at 99% of the tables? the staff (very nicely) let me know there's a dedicated space for laptops (aka a 3 person bar, so really what's the point?). I would've went elsewhere if I'd known. Great coffee but not a great place to stay and work.
5-star coffee, 2-star service, $5 espresso served in a disposable paper cup by default. I went to Sey, with a friend who was visiting and about to leave, so we were in a hurry. It is just 10 minute walk from where I live The coffee tasted very nice and smooth. But I was disappointed they were served in disposable paper cups at $5 for an espresso and $5 for a cortado. It really cheapens the experience and prevents from really appreciating the flavor. It also creates unnecessary waste, contributing to NYC's garbage problem. I know that in my native hometown of Milan an espresso and cappuccino cost less than $/€ 1.5 and drinking from a ceramic cup makes a difference. I would have appreciated a better serving experience from a top roaster in NYC, especially considering the premium prices. The coffee is good, but the paper cup really cheapens the experience. Paper cups should be used only when expressly asked for, not be the default option. For environmental issues and service quality. $5 espresso should not come in a paper cup. At least they did not provide a wasteful plastic lid and the cup has no plastic film lining.
Awesome roasting, excellent detail-oriented preparation, and a nice environment to hang out. They also pay their employees a fair living wage, which is a big deal in the coffee business. And they play great music too! What's not to like?
Sey is a beautiful oasis serving delicious croissants and baked goods. The atmosphere is very friendly with kind staff. Plants adorn the walls ans ceilings adding to this cafe's charm. The coffee is rich, made with care. This place is a must visit when you're in Brooklyn!
Great team, knowledgeable, personable, creative, SPARKLING SPRO, Tasty brew, nice little nibbles, great equipment to buy for home brew, outlets, great light, plants, vibe, great music playing, people working, but also lots of great convos and laughing going on. Nice work on the space! Will be back for sure next time I’m in town
Some of the best coffee in NYC. Whether it be artisanal pour overs that almost mimic flavor notes of a nice tea, or just a classic shot of espresso, Sey coffee has some amazing coffee. Home to one of the of the best mochas I’ve ever had, Sey boasts great beans, a large variety of drinks, great ambience, and excellent/to the point service.
The coffee was hands down some of the best I have ever had. It is truly special and amazing. However, while we were enjoying our drinks, a woman came on with an unleashed dog. She held the dog over the counter, all of the baristas petted the dog and did not wash their hands before returning to touch food. The dog then went into the back room, unleashed, with the roaster. None of this inspired confidence about the cleanliness of the establishment.

Great space, coffee, and pastries. They have tea and caffeine free drinks as well as coffee.
