Streetlevel: Clover's on Atlantic
We’re a few weeks behind on this one, but the recently-opened Clover Cafe and Art Gallery certainly deserves mention. A couple of Brooklynian commenters have checked it out and liked what they saw. You can also check out some photos of the interior in this Flickr set. Apparently they take their coffee brewing rather seriously….

Best latte I’ve had ever — velvety foam! And great svc. the 2x I’ve been.
new2 – rents? saturation? need?
regarding coffee, the slope has gorilla, bluesky, 2 ozzies, starbucks, colson, chocolate room (or is it chocolate bar?), and a new place i just saw today on president just before 5th called scandinavian kafe.
Why is it that all the good stuff is opening up in places *besides* Park Slope. It’s getting to be a bit of bummer, especially compared to Boerum H and W’burg.
What to do about this?
11217, You would be wrong on both accounts. I do not work or own a coffee shop. In fact, my last name is coffee and I have lived in the neighborhood for 20+ years. As for the crowd on Sat. I would not know, my one and only visit was during the week and it was DEAD!!!!
I’m guessing coffeeinbrooklyn works at/owns another coffee shop on Atlantic. It was most certainly not empty when I was there on Saturday…far from it. The person working behind the counter said they were doing quite well.
goldie, it wasn’t a negative review just the facts; the place is beautiful, the place had no customers (we are in a recession),the milk was spoiled and the service left a lot to be desired.
chuck, thanks a bunch for the education, will def visit.
coffeeinbrooklyn – you registered just to post a negative review of clover? seems fishy.
This place is beautiful but about 1 year late. It won’t be able to sustain itself in this economy. Who’s buying art or $4.00 coffee. Also, check your milk mines was spoiled and the barista was really nasty about remaking my latte. If the owner wants to succeed in this tough economy, maybe they should hire people with a positive attitude that understand the “customer is always right”. No customers, no business… It looks like clovers will soon be a distant memory if the lack of customers is any indication of the place making it.
Yes I also stopped by this weekend. Its nice that its run by a local person. I had the most delicious Almond Croissant. Its a HUGE beautiful space, very well done. Looks like it would be great to rent out for gatherings. I hope Clover does well. I think she may have some offices for rent too upstairs, FYI!
