Ok... but nothing to write home about...

I just left what was supposed to be a quick brunch at bushbaby's and my experience there was very "blah". It wasn't great, and it wasn't awful. My hot chocolate took like 15-20 mins, but was tasty, and the food took much longer. The food was ok. I definately won't be running back there for anything except the decent music and to try out the other teas and lattes on their extensive drink menu...

The "imported" lawn furniture was not the most comfortable.

No problems with the service besides the long wait for everything...

• Pros: Example: best croissants in town
• Cons: What are the drawbacks?

I beg to differ

Wow! Where do I start? Let me start by saying that, for you to call it "lawn furniture" it is obvious that you know very little about good quality furniture. Every piece of furniture in bushbaby was imported from India and purchased at My Little India. The vibe at bushbaby is very welcoming and I find it hard to believe that the owner would raise an issue over moving a mere seat, when my friends meet there, we move seats and I have seen others do the same as well. Perhaps you moved more than a seat... did you try to rearrange your entire table seating? I can see that being an issue. You cannot just walk into an establishment and move around their table settings; especially without asking first.

I must discredit your entire review and then you actually list Outpost Cafe on this review??? There is NO comparison.

bushbaby keep doing what you're doing!!!

awful service and disgusting owner

by krysnyc

This place is a poor excuse for a neighborhood coffeshop. The first day I went into this place i entered with a friend and sat at a "four top" table. the owner came over and sceamed, yes, SCREAMED at us and told us that we should sit at a two top table or leave! WHAT? and, just so you know the place was completely empty! We decided to leave. ok, so I came back another time w/ the same freind thinking that he must have had a bad day.. Boy was I wrong. I sat down at a "two top" this time and decided to move my chair because the sun was directly in my eyes. soon after, the pscho owner sent the waitress over to tell us that we shouldnt be moving his furniture! this place cant be serious! they have uncomfortable lawn furniture, and an unwelcoming vibe. no wonder this place stays empty. this guy needs an attitude adjustment. I was actually excited to see a coffee shop open in the neighborhood. i would have been a great ongoing customer. hey i guess it is still bed stuy. sigh.... Skip this spot and go to the outpost cafe its a few blocks down fulton (1014fulton street) it has excellent food, coffee, service and its way more cozy and cool than THAT PLACE ANY DAY!

• Cons: poor service, rude owner, uncomfortable seating
