From our beloved regulars
Great coffee and even better food. They do breakfast lunch and dinner and it is all great. The sandwiches are super crunchy and delicious and the dinner is a rotating menu and just as good. The katsu is some of the best I have had!!
We love Phil Cafe. The Korean street toast is so good. The owner is a kind and hardworking guy. He takes good care of his customers and makes great breakfast sandwiches. He’s always happy to accommodate our dietary restrictions with dairy. We love being regulars at Phil. The work space and backyard are wonderful too. You can tell he put a lot of work into the space!
Truly the best cafe in the neighborhood! Their coffee is amazing and food menus are exceptional. The owner was very passionate about cooking and offered us to try his new menu—freshly made katsu. He said the katsu is available depending on the situation, only on weekends up on request. Highly recommend you try this place out!
Cozy cafe in the neighborhood my husband & I frequent because of the coffee, the food and the kind owner! The coffee is wonderful - I get the dirty chai often and it is delicious. We’ve also had dinner here and the katsu is unbelievable. The owner makes everything from scratch, truly remarkable! Major perk is that I can bring my dog (& my baby) along for this highlight of my day :)
I came for about 3-4 days in a row when I came to visit my friend in Brooklyn. I got their dirty chai each time - I think it’s unbeatable in the neighborhood. I also found their garden tranquil to look at while taking breaks from my studying. The staff were always kind and understanding, and my friends who I brought here also fell in love with the place.
Hands down the best coffee shop in the neighborhood. Espresso is incredible and drip is amazing. Great seating in the back for solo hangs with a book or get together a with friends. Can’t wait to sit in their outdoor patio when it gets warmer. Wish they didn’t charge extra for almond/oat milk but that’s my only complaint. Will be back soon (like maybe tomorrow)
Stopped by this morning because I didn't feel like making breakfast. I think the toasts and stuff are more their main thing, but the bagel was quite decent! I don't know if they make them themselves or have them delivered but either way, it was fresh and yummy. They have a nice selection of cold drinks too if you're not a coffee person. I took mine to go but they have a cute little seating area if you'd like to stay. Staff was friendly and my order only took a few minutes and my bagel was still nice and warm once I'd gotten back home!
I wanted to try out a new cafe and I’m so happy I went here. It’s on the expensive side however I think it’s worth it for a little treat. The ex-boyfriend toast is super yummy and fresh which is why it takes around 10 minutes to get it. The dirty chai is also amazing. The atmosphere is super lovely and calming and has a decent amount of spots to sit. 10/10 would recommend!
An incredibly charming slice of Brooklyn serving Stunptown coffees and a wonderful variety of pastries and Korean street toast. If you have an appetite, don’t pass up the opportunity to try the toast. Beyond the coffees and menu items, PHiL has an incredibly beautiful garden area tucked behind the cafe between neighboring buildings creating a serene landscaped oasis with a variety of seating options. This is a great place to work, study or catch up with friends.
I’ve been coming to this cafe for years, it’s truly a gem! It’s a great spot to sit and get work done, or take a short break in their peaceful backyard. Their sandwiches are great, and coffee never disappoints. The owner is kind, welcoming, and makes the space feel warm and inviting. Highly recommend!
