Crown Heights Spotlight

No cold brew, but excellent pastries. Daytime can get a little crowded but it’s an excellent place to hole up and most folks are generally friendly/respectful when it comes to sharing power outlets. Wed-Sun Daughter is open for evening hours - small but great natural wine selection, canned craft beers & kombucha. Evening menu is made up perfect little bites, mostly veg/pescatarian - get the carrots & butter beans! Amazing solo night spot or with a group. Do: Follow Daughter on IG to see what events they’ve got going on - everything from wine tastings & pop-up pizza tents to creative writing sessions & community events. Don’t: Plan to take work calls from here. Daughter is always A Vibe & the jams are cranking from open ‘til close.

Intimate little coffee shop that is a quick in & out spot or to post up & work. No bathroom, so plan your visit accordingly! Do: Size up your cold brew (only $.75 difference between sizes) Don’t: Skip the salads - $15 & up for large but ultimately unimpressive combos.

Little Zelda by day, Cordelia Wine Bar by night. Perfect spot to indulge alone or plan an intimate date. Dozens of wines with a focus on natural & female winemakers, and a healthy range of value glasses and splurge-worthy bottles. Do: Plan to ask the sommelier what they are pouring by the glass rather than pour over the menu. The wine list here is as fun to read through as it is extensive, but it can be a little overwhelming (but also so photogenic) at first glance. Don’t: Come with a crowd once the temps drop. This is an intimate spot with minimal table seating

Do: Take in the Crown Heights camrarderie with outdoor seating that spans several local shops on either side of Little Zelda Don’t: Come with a crowd once the temps drop. This is an intimate spot with minimal table seating.
