A lovely local coffee spot. Friendly servers. A treasure trove of old books to read.Fun artisanal drinks made with organic tasty ingredients. I've had their hot chocolate (awesome), a maple latte (perfectly sweet), and your basic coffee (which tasted like coffee is supposed to). I especially like that some tables are specifically labelled 'no laptops please', so it's designed to be social establishment to enjoy coffee and conversation, and not just a den for frustrated screenwriters. They need more places like this one.

I really love the vibe of this place and appreciate a coffee space that is light and airy for a change. I have always found the people who work here quite pleasant. I love their maple lattes! I really love that they have some books and games here for my child to enjoy while the adults enjoy coffee and conversation.

This neighborhood place has good energy vibes, cute wooden design with nice seating options and of course great beverages. I had matcha latte and it was made fast and well without unbroken lumps of powder - which often happens in other places. Their pastries looked good too, so may be i will try next time.

Really loved this coffee shop. Aside from the very friendly and helpful staff and great mocha, they had Afrobeats music playing in the background!!! A gem discovered and I will be back ...

As someone who lives in Park Slope, I can’t believe I’ve never stopped by Clever Blend before! Well-made coffee, great atmosphere and friendly staff. I will absolutely be coming back with a book! There are few things I love more than a local coffee shop with plenty of seating. P.s. Add maple syrup to your hot coffee!

I met a friend at Clever Blend yesterday - it was my first time there (I think it used to be Gorilla Coffee.). The drip coffee was excellent (rich flavor with no bitterness) and the pastry was fine (chocolate croissant) ... the prices were good as well. I'll keep this cafe on my short list.
