Editorial Review for Cafe Regular – by Karen Hudes
In Short
The compact interior of this Park Slope cafe has the look of a 1920s European dining car, with refined orange walls, a stand-up espresso bar and a long wooden bench with connected classroom-style tables running along one side. La Colombe coffee, Jacques Torres hot chocolate and pastries from Marquet are some of the specialties.

cafe regular has the hands down best cappucino i've had in new york. well actually, ever. best espresso, best coffee, even best rolls! everything is delicious and the atmosphere of the tiny cafe is authentic and charming in a "here's to paris in the 1920's" kind of way. if you live anywhere in park slope, definitely worth the walk!

Completely agree with the first post. There's a (handsome!) guy at this cafe who makes, really, the best espresso I've had in the city--as good, if not better, than 9th St. Espresso. But, there are some other baristas who are just ok. But you can't really go wrong with a brewed coffee here-- that's always pretty good. The atmosphere is quite charming-- you can't help but feel chic when sipping on a latte at this cafe--but sometimes the seats are over-run with lame lap-toppers and/or lesbian moms and their test-tube babies. BUT! And this is brilliant! More than once I've been there and a customer actually asked the parent of a wild kid to please calm the toddler down! This is what we restaurant patrons, particularly in Park Slope, need to start doing! And for the most part it seems like Cafe Regular's customers enjoy their coffee experience enough that they're willing to stand up to the area's parents' overwhelming sense of entitlement!
Pros: charming,good espresso, interesting staff and customers
Cons: sometimes loud children
