Cafe

Nako Brooklyn

Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn, NY 📍 Maps

This minimalist, family-run Turkish cafe focuses on specialty multi-roaster coffee served in gorgeous, custom handmade ceramics. Tucked away on a quiet, cobblestone stretch of Columbia Place, the space is designed for slow, intentional pauses rather than rushed grab-and-go routines. Regulars know to grab one of the few indoor tables near the back wall outlets to settle in for a quiet morning of reading or remote work.

★ The Legend
Nako Latte
This signature espresso drink is infused with a house-made cardamom syrup and built on a custom milk blend of whole and cashew milk. Regulars order it iced to let the subtle, aromatic spice and rich nuttiness of the custom milk blend slowly unfurl.
● Chef's Pick
Graziella Espresso
The cafe's foundational espresso is pulled using beans from Hudson Valley-based roaster Graziella, selected specifically by the family for its smooth, chocolatey profile. Order it as a double shot served in one of the owner's wife's custom-designed ceramic mugs to fully appreciate the crema and temperature retention.
◇ Hidden Gem
Olive Oil Cake
Most visitors focus entirely on the liquid menu, completely bypassing this incredibly moist, citrus-kissed cake that sits quietly on the counter. It has a tight, tender crumb and a rich olive oil finish that makes it the ultimate companion to a bitter, slow-bar pour-over.
✦ Off the Menu
Sea Salt Earl Grey Matcha Latte
An off-menu variation of their signature matcha that layers a savory, velvety sea salt cream top infused with bergamot over the iced green tea base. Simply ask the barista at the counter if they have the house-steeped Earl Grey syrup available to craft this salty-sweet hybrid.
Insider Tip

Ask for your hot drinks to be served in the house ceramic mugs rather than a paper cup, even if you are sitting on the outdoor benches. The heavy, textured clay vessels are handmade by the owner's wife and completely change the tactile experience of holding and sipping your morning brew.
