Velvette Black

It's a lovely coffee shop in the Park Slope neighborhood. The owner truly cares about the shop and ensures the environment is welcoming and friendly. There are plenty of seats and a beautiful outdoor space. In addition to coffee, they offer a handful of options for pastries and sweets. If you want to take a break or work on your laptop, definitely check it out.

Nice spot to work. Has lots of seating, wifi, spots to charge laptops. Pastries, freshly squeezed orange juice. Tried a marocchino.

I was a bit underwhelmed by my experience here. The person working behind the counter simply did not care. I was trying to decide on a pastry and they had zero excitement. They then say they will bring my coffee out, but they had forgotten, so I had to collect it while leaving. I think we expect better being in one of the coolest neighborhoods in the country.

Love the atmosphere here! Great prices for all drinks too :) Lots of outlets for laptop working. Also a lovely back patio with at least four round tables. Really nice spot tucked into the brownstones of park slope!

super cute and cozy cafe with great coffee! not sure if it was the specific day or time that I went but most people were working on their laptops so i felt like it wasn’t the type of cafe you could have a chat with a friend in

Just as I was wondering why Park Slope needs yet another coffee shop, Velvette Black blew me away!

The pastries (for the record, I only tried the pistachio cake) are smooth, airy, and to give the ultimate Asian compliment, “not too sweet.”

I had the Velvette for coffee and it’s texture fits the description.

The coffee shop is very well lit, has Wi-Fi, power outlets, and plays piano jazz in the background. So, it’s great for working if that’s what you’re looking for.

I got started on a punch card and will surely be back!

I like their espresso--it's not the too bitter, too tart, over-extracted stuff some places sell--and the space allows both laptop work and quiet convos to co-exist peacefully.

love love love this cafe. amazing coffee. great vibe. good pastries. there’s only one thing that reallllly bugs me about it: the music. it feels uncurated and i find it distracting. one day it’ll be John Mayer and then another day Eye of the Tiger. a coffee house like this should be playing cooler music. and/or more chill instrumental music, as most people are reading/working. 60s jazz, ambient electronic music, even classical would work. just not pop music.

The coffee and the pastries were very good, the barista was really nice and they had pastries at $1 after 4:30 pm.
A good atmosphere for working or reading, would come back
