Dae Brooklyn: Reviews & Ratings
Love this spot! I came Sunday night and had a smash burger and some really good cocktails. Apparently there was a one night only tea cocktail pop up, and they were so good. Our bartender was so sweet, and she created all of the drinks herself!
Good drinks, lovely ambiance, cute shop with cute beige objects. Overall a very relaxed atmosphere and an easy place to chat with a friend for a few hours. The service is a little aloof but it was fine.
Stopped in on a Sunday after visiting the farmer's market nearby. Just the best tomato toast I have ever had, and enjoyed the really beautiful laid-back atmosphere. I want to come back for the dinner menu. The Korean dishes look like they'll be phenomenal.
The cutest coffee shop/home goods/ wine shop. Beautifully curated home goods and yummy wine selection. I've had their cold misugaru latte and it's such a nostalgic taste from childhood. It's also nice chill place to have drinks after work.
Thoughtfully designed cafe and shop that feels like a little escape from the city. The space is calm, minimalist, and really intentional — everything from the drinks to the home goods is curated with care. Peaceful place to slow down and reset.
Delicious grain latte and pretty good espresso. The ambiance is minimalistic, very airy and bright. The brunch food was good, unique, and quite colorful, but the flavor was less memorable.
Since the opening of DAE, I knew I needed to stop by and visit the space for myself! The space itself was smaller than I imagined, but it’s still very nice and aesthetically pleasing. I stopped in on my latest trip to the city, and finally got to try a few of their items. For myself I ordered the “MBB”(milk bread with matcha honey butter) and a friend ordered the “KST: Korean Street”. I loved the taste of the KST, the savory and sweet combination was very delicious! As for the “MBB”, I also thoroughly enjoyed the combination of the bread with the butter (as the matcha flavor did not overpower but instead complimented the taste). The hemp seeds added a nice crunch as well. Overall, I was very impressed with the items I tried, but also the atmosphere and service I received.
If you are reading this review, please go experience the aesthetic of this space. You will be delighted. I was eager to check out DAE, and when I did, it exceeded my expectations. I was most interested in the space and the wares. Both are so exquisitely curated leaving the customer feeling both at peace and inspired. Ajax at the counter was knowledgeable and friendly while I asked questions about nearly everything on the menu I tried the K-pear iced tea (I’m a huge Korean pear fan) and it was refreshing and juicy. Im excited to go back to try more of their daytime menu, and I’m curious to see what their evening offerings are like.
