These are the third spaces that we need! Comfortable, vibey and the experience is very encouraging to those who wanna meet new people. This is the Brooklyn I know and remember. Lips Cafe has captured magic in a bottle with their delicious food, welcoming service and good playlist. Along with the decor that brings a modern style to a timeless form of public service: the one that centers warm welcomes, comfortable space and engaging experience with the staff. Been here all day.

Lowkey, chill and cozy vibe for “US”.🤎
Love that it gives you that local communal energy, not that matcha yoga gluten free vibe. lol
The sorrel ginger lemonade is poppin! Please try it! And it’s near so many Caribbean spots, so if you West Indian, food not too far.
Will say, careful when you go to the restroom, it’s a tight space so be prepared to squeeze. Dont carry so much with you. One at a time frfr.

such a great place to go if you need a relaxing place to work and drink coffee. I had an amazing experience and the staff there was so nice and friendly. I especially liked one of the waitress there named wysdom. She went above and beyond to make my experience there lovely! Management should definitely do their best to keep her around.

I had the salmon rice bowl for dinner and came back for the Rasta pasta the next day everything here is soo good! I’m thinking of trying that salmon burger next. I’ve also come a few times for breakfast. They have a great assortment of drinks and flavors they can pretty much make you anything. A nice young man named Jamane made my latte he was quick and very friendly. 10/10 recommend.

This place rocks. I used to live in the neighborhood years ago, and I just moved back very happy to find this place still being awesome. The whole staff is so friendly, the vibe is laid back and relaxing, and the coffee and matcha are delicious, AND furry friend friendly! Truly a community hub. It's a great spot to hang out and do work, hang out and catch up with friends, or just stop in for something to go when I'm walking my dog. I love that they serve cocktails and wine, too! I haven't tried the cocktails or food yet, but I love a cafe that serves it ALL and will for sure try out the whole menu soon. Also love that they are open late. Too often I find myself wanting to hang out later in the day at a place that isn't a bar, but all the other coffee shops are closed! They say they serve coffee and serve community on their insta, and they definitely do. Thank you Lips!!
