The Black Flamingo

The ambiance and music are always on point. A lovely relaxing place to grab a coffee to go or stay and work. The staff is always pleasant without being overly friendly.

Here you can find Anything, you could possibly wish for yourself. Starting from the very welcoming and hospitable Servise, it’s privately owned, and Dmitriy and Michael are doing theirs best to fit into the standards of excellency. Great vibe with outdoor garden, sophisticated art décor. And ending with a great home made food, and the best coffee I ever had in my life. So if you still have doubts about should you go or not, just simply step in into this wonderful place and you ll not be disappointed.

I loved this café. The chocolate pudding and the hot Cocoa were perfect and the service was very warm and welcoming. I highly recommend this place for people who like good food, good coffee and a relaxing atmosphere.

Went here on Sunday in the late afternoon — the coffee was superb and the service was great.
I had a croissant with goat cheese and fig jam which was delicious.
I stayed a while and used the wifi, later having some herb infused lemonade and some yummy cookies.
The place itself has impeccable décor, mainly Art Deco with other flourishes, like lots of old style black and white portrait photos belonging to the Russian ancestors of one of the owners.
Anyhow can’t wait for my next visit.
My only complaint is that i didn’t actually see a black flamingo anywhere, maybe it was in the backyard :)

Love this place!!! So needed in Red Hook! Awesome coffee, quiet airy space and balthazar baked goods. Can’t wait for the yard!

Score! This place is neat. My latte, although slightly small for the price, was excellent. Maybe next time I’ll try a croissant, perhaps a quiche! Nonetheless, I’ll definitely be back and I am very much looking forward to your outdoor space.
I always love it when cool new small businesses open in my childhood neighborhood. It helps alleviate the pain of gentrification.
In any case, great job Black Flamingo. Keep the espresso coming!

Great coffee and baked goods. Art Deco décor is fun. People working there are very nice.

Beautifully decorated little Art Deco style café reminiscent of a lazy afternoon in Paris. Ham and cheese croissant was delicious and the iced coffee was perfect. Excellent find. Will be coming back a lot.

Best coffee in Red Hook. I go with the dark roast late, nice and strong, just how I like it.

Great iced coffee!!! Friendly, brand new place up the block! Very nice work on the interior! Little snacks (sandwiches, scones) available. Nice place to bring your laptop and get done work done. I hear they are opening up the backyard garden in July for a dose of some great morning sunshine with your coffee! I hear they are also adding beer & wine soon too! Great addition to the hood! Best of luck, guys!

This place is new so I came here to try it. The latte was excellent and the pastry was delicious. I had a chance to talk with the owners and they were very friendly. They have espresso, cappuccino, iced coffee, teas, sandwiches and quiches that I need to try next time. Interesting place that you should see. :)

We were lost in Brooklyn and happened upon this cute café on Van Brunt. We were told it was their Grand Opening and what an entrance they made! We adored the décor and even more importantly fell in love with the cappuccinos and lattes. Fabricio and Dimi (spelling) are the owners who greeted us warmly and served us promptly. What made me a fan was that I didn’t have to add sugar to my vanilla latte because Fabricio made it to perfection. Our Almond croissants were divine but there are a few more options to choose from in the glass case. Once they have their liquor license, you’ll be able to kick back there for happy hour. What a yummy welcome to the Red Hook neighborhood. We didn’t care about being lost anymore, but we’ll find our way back to The Black Flamingo!
