Hala Coffee & Kitchen 40 Wyckoff Avenue, Brooklyn, New York 11237,

"I really liked the atmosphere here. Definitely a great place to sit down. Plenty of seating. The coffee is good too! Staff was quick and speedy but friendly is not a word I would use to describe them."

"Hala is the cafe experience that anyone would want in the neighborhood. a large space with a good amount of seating serving menu of quality eats and drinks. stumbled in here on a sleepy Saturday and was in need of coffee. the Americano came out piping hot and full of that caffeinated flavor when the day has been too cold and you’re running on fumes and it’s only the early afternoon. the coffee was quite good and did its job. while it was a sleepy Saturday, Hala was full of people working / studying so it was pretty quiet. the vibe was definitely low key. the space is really clean, well-organized, soaked in light, and has a welcoming tone to it all. the service was chipper and the warm. wish i had taken advantage of the food options (they look good) but that’s a good excuse to return. and only in Bushwick would a cafe bathroom key be named “Kevin”—do with that knowledge what you may."

"I’m a big pancake fan and I loved these house pancakes! I got them without ice cream. They were fluffy and buttery, with crisp edges. The lattes were solid too. Would definitely come back!"

"Bright, open coffee shop with great AC and a bathroom for customers. Peach tamarind latte was subtle and delicious - not super sweet like the big coffee shops. They also serve sandwiches, salad bowls and cakes."

"Don't write reviews often, but I just needed to for this place. Been here a few times now, and honestly the place is so under-rated. The food tastes like something that could have been prepared at a five-star restaurant -- beautifully presented and *packed* with amazing flavors every single time! Highly recommend the house pancakes, acai bowl, breakfast pita, and chicken sandwich. You won't be disappointed. Aside from that, the baristas are super friendly to just chat with on a lazy weekend afternoon, and there's plenty of space to sit and work. 6/5 stars!"
