Lion's Milk

Good deep espresso! However the main appeal is being able to read articles on the fall of NFT’s and people like Sam Bankman-fried getting arrested while sitting in a cafe with nft’s in it. It feels as if you are watching karma go to work, right in front of you. Truly surreal. Hopefully they just take those out and have a nice cafe instead.

Stopped in here on a Tuesday afternoon to do some work, and while the service was good and the atmosphere was nice and laidback, my biggest warning to those who are looking for a place to hunker down and work: the wifi for some reason is iffy. The speed is fine, but for some reason, it will not allow certain portions of websites to populate or will sometimes even not load a page at all. I thought it had something to do with just my setup/laptop, but I was there with a friend and she had the same exact issue. We were wondering why it wasn't very busy upon walking in but quickly figured out why. Hard to do work if the wifi isn't working to its fullest ability. That said though, if you're stopping in for just coffee and/or food, that was overall pretty good. Definitely nothing extremely impressive — I'd honestly recommend Oslo nearby or even just La Colombe on Wythe Ave — but good enough for local coffee shop standards! Worth at least a visit.

Had a dirty chai latte with oat milk and it was way better than I expected!! So smooth and well crafted drink. Would like to try the salep (traditional Turkish drink) next time when I don’t need caffeine 🤪 can’t wait to come back and try their delicious looking pastries too!! Lots of seating area too which is a major plus in my eyes!

For the best natural wine, vermouth, and tapas, the Barali collab at Lion's Milk every Thurs - Sun evenings is the best thing that's happend to Williamsburg. Seriously, the spicy sardine crostini is so savory and zesty. And the natural wine list is unparalleled, with some wine you'll taste so you'll know loss the rest of your life. And the staff are generous, wholesome people. Guaranteed a good time.
