The Flying Saucer Cafe, a comfy neighborhood coffee spot at 494 Atlantic Avenue in Boerum Hill, is having to take an involuntary hiatus courtesy of the Division of Health and Mental Hygiene. A sign in the window says it’s just a matter of straightening out some permit issues and that they’ll be back in business as soon as this week. How’s their coffee?
Nice little cafe, I agree with BoerumGuy that it’s like a college town cafe. Nothing spectacular about the food, but good enough. My sister-in-law loves the coffee.

This is a bad sign.
nice little place good coffee great muffins
it’s good for the basics – excellent drip coffee, iced tea, place to hang out and study or read or work. their pastry isn’t very good and neither are their espresso drinks. sandwiches and other stuff okay – good in a pinch. but with blue marble a block away and much more efficient and friendly, i almost never go to flying saucer.
Stopped there one day as I was waiting to look at a couple of apartments in the neighborhood. The apartments were lousy, but I really liked the cafe. Great iced tea, good cookie.
bricktop, you’ll need to familiarize yourself with propjoe’s history.
Goldie with a name like a Brooklyn bubbie is anti-tooth? Huh?
Goldie is an anti-dentite
What’s with all the comments about Jews? Is it supposed to be funny?
