Hamlet Coffee Company

Hamlet Coffee Company is an AAPI- and women-owned cafe on Rogers Avenue with one of the better backyard patios in Brooklyn — a real differentiator in dense Crown Heights where outdoor seating is rare. The interior is bright and considered, the playlist tasteful, and the energy fits both quick coffee runs and long working sessions in the warmer months when the back garden opens up. The coffee program leans pour-over focused with seasonal single-origin lots, and the matcha program is genuinely strong — sourced from quality Japanese suppliers and prepared with care. The seasonal drink menu introduces creative flavors (lavender, cardamom, brown butter) that make Hamlet a regular stop for Crown Heights residents who want something beyond the standard latte. House-made pastries round out the menu. A consistent, well-loved local pick that has built its reputation slowly through quality.
