Got the maple oat milk latte and requested it only a little sweet. It was perfect!! And such nice latte art. Nice window bench to sit and drink on too had I not been in a rush.

My favorite coffee shop in Brooklyn. Why? The owner and his wife are the sweetest people to meet. They get your day off to the right start or are a friendly face when you go in for an afternoon pick me up. They have great coffee, and their croissants hit the mark :) I've been wanting to try a crepe because the menu sounds enticing but haven't walked that road yet.

Get off the G and RUN to Cusp. This neighborhood has a lot of competition in the morning but I go back time and time again because: 1. Jae is amazing - he remembers everyone and always makes me feel like I'm talking to family as he takes everyone's orders 2. The coffee is creamy... I have gone to Winner, SBux, Blue Bottle, Variety and Colson in the area. The coffee doesn't compare 3. The prices are wonderful considering the neighborhood. They give out punch cards! 4. Their SCONES ARE DEVINE! The cafe is small yet it feels like home so I'm so grateful for this cafe when I need a good americano (hot or iced) because they never disappointment!

The crepes are top notch and service is unmatched. Jay, the owner, cares about his products and customers. The strawberry banana crepe with Nutella has not disappointed as well as the coffee selections.

They have a La Marzocco espresso machine and know EXACTLY how to use it. My current go-to for an oat latte in the area. 10/10 no notes. Polite staff, great seating by the window.

Been living in park slope for two years now and I'll tell you no matter the season Cusp and their crepe and lattes are always on point. Owner always has friendly vibe you can take it to go or enjoy the vibe a food on counter while watching Brooklyn pass you by. 10/5 highly recommended

I was in the area and craving a Nutella crepe so I typed exactly that into the search field in the Yelp app which returned numerous nearby options. I settled on this cafe because it was on my way home. Upon arrival, I realized that it was next door to Smiling Pizza but never had noticed it before because it looks like a regular cafe from the street. I opted for the Nutella, Strawberry & Banana crepe which I rationalized as the healthiest way to satisfy my sweet tooth. The crepe was thin yet fluffy and filled with the right amount of fruit. There was a generous amount of Nutella inside and outside of the crepe. It was pretty to look at and even better to devour. While waiting for my crepe to be prepared, I perused their shelves which had some delectable European chocolates and tins of loose leaf tea at decent prices. I will definitely be back for another crepe and a ton of chamomile tea.

This is my second time ordering from this place. It's very convenient, located right by the F/G train. The staff there is extremely friendly, they greet each customer as they walk in and place is clean. I ordered a strawberry blueberry smoothie and a peanut butter and banana crepe.

They make some excellent breakfast sandwiches--their bacon, egg and cheese croissant is perfect, and is often a highlight of my morning (I mean that as a compliment, even if I find mornings loathsome. If you can get it, that is. While they open at 7am, they sometimes are only serving coffee and pastries until around 8am. If you're going to get me hooked on the crack that is your breakfast sandwich, you'd better be ready to serve it the second that sign flips from closed to open! They offer excellent coffee (Stumptown) as well, and it even seems fresh if you stop in for a late-afternoon pick-me-up--unlike far too other spots. It's a small spot, ideal for takeaway but with a couple of stools for a quick dine-in experience. The kitchen area is right behind the counter, and the fresh ingredients are prepared right in front of you. I've only tried a couple of the lunch crepes, and they were solid options as well, served with a simple, tasty side salad. I don't know how it is that I've yet to come in and try a Nutella crepe for dessert--I guess I'm too busy stopping in here for breakfast--but I'll be sure to rectify that oversight as soon as possible.
