Red Hook Coffee and Tea

This cafe uses only FAIR TRADE coffee! Miraculously, prices are lower than average. Food is awesome, including lots of vegan choices (try the harvest wrap). Plenty of free parking nearby. I love relaxing at this super comfy cafe!

The smell was SO good as you walked in! The espresso wasn't an A+, but the ambience made up for it. Didn't have any food, but pastries looked great and they had a delectable looking potato salad that they use as a side for all their sandwiches.

Consistently excellent sandwiches. Love the simple online ordering via square and self-service pickup area.

Nothing fancy, in fact, the place feels like it could use a deep cleaning. Efficient, but not overly friendly staff. The last time there my coffee was tasted burnt. Other then that experience, I've enjoyed.
It's a good place to meet someone and chat, usually quiet, with a few choice seats.

Great spot in Queen Village. The coffee is always good and the food is surprisingly well done for a coffee focused spot. Real fresh ingredients and interesting preparations. Not a ton of room to sit around, but that's ok. Good place to hang for an hour and get some work done or talk to a friend.

Cozy and quaint little cafe. Very old and antique shop with exposed brick wall and [did I mention old] hard wood floor that's not even flat, so be careful not to trip haha.

In all seriousness as soon as my friend and I walked in were greeted with cold stares. Probably the most unfriendly staff I've ever dealt with. I got an avocado avocado and "mango" smoothie, which was delicious and not too sweet. No real mangoes were used though, I think it was puree. My friend ordered an ice vanilla chai tea latte. Which just tasted like cinnamon flavored milk with vanilla. This place is cash only which I didn't realize until the guy rudely muttered under his breath "did you not see the sign cash only." Oh I'm sorry I'm too blind to see your small sign that posted all the way at the end of the cash register, on the way behind all the junk (tbh I still did not find the sign but my friend said they DID in fact have one).

I'm surprised by all the positive feedback. Maybe their actual food items are good. I however will be returning. I'm sure there are good if not better cafes in the area where they treat you with courtesy and respect and actually smile at you because you're a valued customer.

Rating for the service. Went twice and the same vibes were there. It feels like you’re being a burden for asking questions about the menu (that doesn’t have their specialty coffees or pastries listed) and that they really don’t care that much to explain. I left feeling like I didn’t want to come back and deal with that

Great coffee. When I crash with friends in Philly they buy their beans from here and I love the flavor. The staff is awesome and the house coffee is superb. What more can you ask for?!

If I am in south philly and want coffee and a bite, this is the answer. Quick. VERY friendly and positive. Clearly they love every type of person that comes in their door (ehem.. *to their window #covidlife) The prices are extremely fair, wonderful value for your dollar and they use legit quality products in their fold and coffee. I will be back again and again.

Delicious food in a great atmosphere! Highly recommend. They have WiFi too
