Three Angels By the Park

THIS PLACE IS CLOSED NOW.
It was pretty great, but now it’s gone.

I wish I could give it more stars but I walked right by the location the other day and it was closed with a rent me sign out in front. Sad to say, may have gone out of business.

After walking around browsing through the many creative street art scene of Bushwick, I needed a place to sit down to relax and get something to eat. Found a sign outside this place near Maria Hernandez park that had a sign outside saying ‘Coffee, WiFi, and Outdoor Patio’. I didn’t hesitate and went right in.
I was surprised to find that the place wasn’t too busy on a sunny Saturday afternoon. As soon I was walked in, I was greeted by a friendly gentleman that seemed to be the owner Jerry (I read online that he’s friendly) that made me feel very much at home. He gave suggestions on food items and drinks and even told me that there is an outdoor patio in the back and to take my time to check the place out. The outdoor patio space is beautiful and cozy and great for a sunny day just to sit outside, enjoy the sun while gettin your Java fix.
I ordered their Iced Coffee and it was superb. The right amount of acidity and it tasted fresh. I also ordered one of their sandwiches ‘The Patrick’ which contained Black Forest Ham, Gruyère, Romaine, and Mustard. I asked if I can add on some Brie and he gladly did. He also asked me if I wanted the sandwich on a Whole Wheat Country Bread or on a Bagel. I got it on country bread. The turnout was amazing. Really tasty sandwiches made right on the spot by Jerry himself. Oh yeah btw, three angels are Jerry’s children and the sandwiches are named after his children as well (the Paul, the Bridget, the Patrick, etc)
Jerry is a one man show. He’s the barista, the owner, and the food preparer. I liked his genuine, relaxed, and friendly character and really a breath of fresh air to the coffee shop scene. Yes he loves to talk and there are many regulars that frequent the place that Jerry greets them by the name. But its so refreshing to see a native Brooklynite that makes sure his customers feel at home at his shop and will go the extra mile to please them which is pretty rare nowadays in many coffeeshops.
Not to make fun of him but he has a tone of a show host, so energetic and full of life. I love this guy haha The way he manages and operates the store is similar to the way I want to operate one someday.
The interior has exposed brick, some artwork on the walls, there’s books and records towards the back, and overall a very relaxed place. It’s not yet ‘Manicured’ to perfection but it definitely has potential once hipsters find out about this place.
In addition, free Wifi and clean restrooms and an outdoor patio makes the place a gem in the neighborhood. This place needs more attention and I want to add it onto one of my favorite coffee shops in NYC! Great job Jerry!
Definitely worth stopping by!

What a little neighborhood gem. Mocha is pretty yummy, simple easy food like sandwiches and good bagels. Love how this place feels like home. Jerry the owner is so welcoming. Loved his three angels who we got to meet while there. Precious kids!
Also love the cute backyard and space and vinyl playing in the background.

Fist time here and in love! Drip coffee is very well roasted, earthy and not at all bitter or astringent.
As a poet I look forward to checking out an event soon and come by to write. Backyard area must be lovely at night!

Is there a nicer guy than Jerry? He’s on a first name basis with most of his customers, so when people walk in he gives them a giant smile and shakes their hand. Love this place.

Great coffee! Jerry invests in better beans than other coffee shops, hence the rich taste. He’s started a wonderful business that still has some kinks but is headed in the right direction. He’s started to have fresh baked goods. He and his employees are getting faster at taking and making orders. The place itself is adorable and slowly but positively growing into a place with lots of character and soul. Ample seating, a patio out back, books and a record player make it inviting and cozy. My boyfriend and I stop here everytime we go to the new dog park at Maria Hernandez park. The coffee is great everytime. Jerry is genuine, eager to please and learn, and welcoming. We truly hope this place stays for good. His spirit is a wonderful breath of fresh air and his business, a much needed addition to the neighborhood.

When I was a kid we didn’t even drive through Bushwick, (this was before the entire midwest decided to relocate here), and seeing how much these kids love coffee, wifi and patios, I don’t understand why this joint is empty every time I walk by.
Yes, Jerry (owner) is a bit talkative, but seeing how much everyone LOVES Brooklyn these days, is it not refreshing to have a conversation with a real Brooklynite?
The coffee and bagels are good (no fancy pour-​over here), but the main reason to check this place out is the space. The shop stretches the length of the building, with a spacious patio in the back. Just inside from the patio is a reading room, filled with paperbacks and chairs. In the middle of the shop sits a record player, with hundreds of records to choose from (you can pick and play them yourself). This beats suffering through some ‘artist’ barista’s experimental no-​wave synth duo music while you enjoy the free internet and comfy couches.
Give Three Angels a shot. It may not be fancy, but it’s cheap and a good place to get some work done.

Spent an hour or two in here working yesterday and it was great! The owner is super friendly, there’s a fantastic back room with tons of books and a really nice table with a painted tile top, they have a poetry event once a month, and a great record collection. Beatles albums were playing on the record player the whole time I was there.
It’s very cozy and homey, the only suggestion I would make echoes others’: 1) expand the tea, coffee, juice and pastry selection. Keep the Celestial Seasonings at the price it is to keep the café accessible to non-​hipsters, and add some fancier beverages too.

I can’t wait to give this place a full 5 stars. It’s so close! here’s the review:
coffee — wifi — patio
Excellent place to go for coffee/​tea and read/​work. Bring a few friends and hang out in the spacious back patio (yeah, they have a patio!).
The owner is an amazing guy, incredibly friendly and cares about everyone. The only things missing (which i know he’s working on) is getting some more food/​juice options. He has good coffee and a very nice place. Something good is usually playing on his record player. There are several book shelves in the back and good space to work or read or surf the web.

I believe in honesty, so I must update my review. The quality of this place hasn’t changed but the owner is quite conservative and talkative. His stories are warming, but I didn’t come here for that — just wifi and beverages.
The back patio is nice and this place often is semi-​full on weekdays. They don’t have fresh baked goods, which the owner explained was due to cost, but I wish someone would help this guy out. More cool events, fresh goods, and less talking and storytelling to customers. It’s not endearing in the long term.
Nontheless, this space is great. Go here if you don’t mind the possible risk of getting caught in a extremely long conversation.

Within 20 seconds of walking in, you get a good feeling about this place. Jerry, the owner, is a retired history teacher who brought in his old books from home. And first impression is that he’s a hard worker who loves the neighborhood. And $ 2 a cup and free WiFi ain’t bad. Extra points for Beatles on vinyl.

This place is great! I think they’ve only been open about 6 months so are definitely in the formative stage, but Three Angels has tons of potential. I just stopped in here very quickly this morning for a coffee and bagel on the way to work, but Jerry was behind the counter and super friendly to talk to. I took a quick look around and there is a TON of space in here, including a backyard patio, and they have free wifi! It must just be a matter of time before it’s filled with people camped out on laptops and grooving to his records.
It looks like they’re about to start serving fresh made sandwiches and juice smoothies, super exciting.
I agree with John S. that not everybody will like the small talk, but I think the eagerness just comes with it being a new place. I’m sure they’ll develop a more hands-​off serving style once there’s a bigger morning coffee rush.

Haven’t eaten the food, but the coffee is good and the place is really cool, great back yard outdoor area with wifi. It’s a bit under construction, but it’ll definitely be there soon. The owner is very friendly and super accommodating — a friendly New Yorker, what? Will definitely be back!

The Angels by the Park is named after Jerry’s three kids. Jerry owns the building and he’s making the place shine!
Jerry is new to the coffee business but goes out of his way to make small talk.
–he’s an old school guy
–the yard is nice and very spacious
— the coffee is priced the same as Wycoff and he sandwiches
–lastly it’s an enjoyable place to write

THIS PLACE IS CASH ONLY! (But there is an ATM across the street that only charges $ 1.75 convenience fee)
I love that this place opened in the neighborhood. It’s a great place to study, hang out or even listen to the vinyls that are available to listen to in the shop! There is plenty of places to sit. Jerry, the owner, is awesome. He’s so easy to talk to and welcoming. Definitely recommend this place.

I began going to Three Angels the first day it opened. The three angel’s are the owner’s (Jerry!) kids and if you’re lucky, you’ll see them playing outside or being adorable inside. The coffee and food is satisfactory, and the space is fantastic. It’s enormous with long tables, cozy chairs, newspapers, and a quiet and pleasant atmosphere.
Loan them your support! Jerry is a fantastic guy and his café is a great place to spend some time.

«Desperately needed» is true, but only by NYC/​Brookyln standards, which stipulate that each block have a coffee shop on each end. To be fair, Irving has one on the other end so this corner was lacking in that regard.
Snarks aside, the owner is a great guy and the place is big, friendly, good coffee, and soon to be the best hangout on Irving. Wifi is fast, everything is clean, and while I am usually fad dieting the food looks great.

This place is great, the coffee is solid, the staff is very nice, the owner Jerry makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in.
The recent blizzard completely knocked out my cable/​internet in my building, and since I work from home remotely, 3 Angels by the Park saved me big time! There’s a ton of space, very fast free wifi, great music, and a warm, clean, friendly atmosphere.
