Just went back today for a tuna melt sandwich ($6), which was really tasty: rich in flavor, with just the right consistency. I also tried the cucumber lemonade ($3 small, $4 large), which was deliciously refreshing, and the cucumber definitely adds an extra kick.

Since last week it seems that they have more pastries and cookies

I also noticed the espresso machine....sweet! I'll definitely have to give that a try.

Please also note that this is one of the few places of this kind in the neighborhood that is open on Sunday.

The BF lives steps away from this cafe. What a nice addition to the neighborhood! The place is sleek and modern. Came here on a Saturday morning, and it was bustling with people. Some on laptops, which I am guessing, that they have wi-fi?

I got a medium cup of coffee, which was solid. We also tried a bread pudding that was baked in an aluminum cup and also bought a baguette. All the breads are made by Balthazar, pricey but well woth the $5 for a baguette. Just remember it is delivered from the city to this cafe in Brooklyn. You are paying for the gas, and the labor that goes into making the bread.

I really liked the bread pudding. Lots of raisins, and a bit crusty. Yummy ;-)

BTW...the staff were friendly and helpful and all smiles!!

Will be back very soon.

My temp. roomie and I decided to make the walk over on a rainy/gloomy Saturday, and this place totally brightened my day and kicked started my weekend just right.

This place is uber-cute and comfortable, not to mention the staff was really friendly. Daphney helped us today and she was all smiles.

I got the espresso double shot with their homemade blueberry muffin. The muffin was soo good, and my espresso was just the way I like my man. Strong. =)

They have other breakfast foods that smelled delicious. I'm looking forward to trying their bread pudding. I'm so glad I live down the street.

We'll be back shortly! =)

edit:

Came back again Sunday. Banana Muffin!!!!

Everything I had at Dahlia's has been delicious. The size might be an issue but personally I like the cozy, homey feel. This will be my weekend spot when I don't want to travel since it sooooooo close to me and like I said, everything I've had so far has been good. The service people there are very polite. They tend to every customer as if they're a VIP. My only issue was with the young boy's pants being disturbingly too low (at least for my taste) but I looked pass that and just focused on the food.

I visited Ms.Dahlia's cafe and was impressed by the decor however it was really small and my cappucino was mostly foam as well as having a "splenda" aftertaste. Maybe next time I'll just have the cucumber lemonade...I'm afraid ill waste my three bucks again on a hot beverage. I really
wish it was more spacious, I felt that everyone was on top of eachother. I did leave a tip though being that the cashier was friendly and hospitable.

Love a cool place to have coffee and just chill.  It's not a big shop, but it packs a wallop with it's coffee and desserts.  Dahlia's does have lunch foods and I love the music.  I enjoyed my coffee and brownie Deeeeeelicious.  Just what this cool hip neighborhood needs.

Definitely my favorite spot in the neighborhood.  Everything about it is great;  The smiling staff, the music, the flowers out front and the tasty food.  A good place to grab a fast bagel in the morning, a take home dinner or dessert.  As well as a good spot to meet other people in the area.

FIVE STARS because I have lived in this neighborhood for going on 8 years and this is THE FIRST place of this "type".
Only been once so far, but I will be back many times, I'm sure.
Why? What do I mean by "this type"?
Friendly, neighborhood-y and neighborly, clean and modern style.
Great sandwich.  Wonderful breads and pastries.
I can't wait to go back!  I just hope Anita Baker happens to be playing on the radio again, as that certainly made the experience even better!
PLEASE GO HERE OFTEN; we need places like this in our neighborhood!

This place is so great!  I walk past it on my way to the train every day and the smells that come out of this place are glorious!!!  I stopped in for a weekend coffee and the staff told me where everything comes from and what they make and when they make it (always fresh) and then gave me a free sample of a really great cucumber lemonade.  I am super picky when it comes to coffee but this is definitely good coffee.  It's sort of chocolate-y and just all around delicious :)  Oh, and great music, too.
