The Red Hook

This café offers a variety of quality food items, including vegan and non-vegan baked goods. The ginger molasses cookie has a nostalgic holiday flavor, while the poppyseed scone may not satisfy everyone’s taste. Patrons appreciate the eggy pop-overs and salted caramel chocolate cake. The breakfast sandwich is noted for being perfectly portioned and satisfying without leaving one feeling heavy. There are also gluten-free options like the Hummingbird Cake with cream cheese frosting.

The café is known for its unique coffee offerings such as a charcoal latte, beetroot latte, and vanilla latte, with many praising the creamy texture and delightful taste. They also make their own syrups, including cardamom, lavender, and orange. The black coffee and iced latte have received positive remarks for their quality.

The atmosphere is friendly and engaging, with staff who are helpful and patient. While the café is quite popular and can get busy, particularly on Saturday mornings and during special events, the line tends to move quickly. Seating is available inside, though it may not be the most comfortable for long stays, and the place can get crowded, making it less ideal for working on a laptop.

There are no mentions of electrical plugs, so it’s best to come prepared. The café does not allow pets inside. The overall environment is welcoming, and the service is noted for being kind and attentive. For a signature drink, the beetroot latte with cardamom and ginger comes highly recommended, especially when made with coconut milk.
