BOYFRIEND co-op café + bar

Very cozy space for coffee, snacks, and more. I really enjoyed the ginger cookie and the seating options. This is also a great 3rd space for lgbt people. Appreciated that they had some gluten free options. Location is also close to an iconic intersection.

TLDR: highly recommended for hosting an event or going for a date night, friend, or solo hang I found this spot through the grapevine and took a chance at hosting a figure drawing event for women and gnc peeps (femme&form). The venue and people working here are amazing. First of all, Hena was exceptionally responsive, professional, friendly, and helpful. She gave me a reasonable timeline for when I needed to post a flyer and was communicative throughout whenever I had a question or concern. The back room was very workable and we were able to move the big table in order to make more space for the event. They also have a decent speaker system that I was able to play my music on. The drinks?? I didn’t even have to remind the attendees to purchase one. They all tasted great, have fun names, and they have great mocktails too. I could really go on and on about this place. It’s the perfect mix of vibey and relaxed. A place where you can just BE. Basically go here if you want to be surrounded by great people. It’s the perfect spot in my opinion. They have a library, they have WiFi, they have cool events. I can’t believe they’ve only been open for a year now and already have such a beautifully curated space. Definitely will be back.

Such an incredible spot for coffee and tea, snacks from local bakers, cocktails and music. I love the vibe and the eclectic furniture and moody palette all throughout. Definitely make this a stop when you're in Bushwick

Boyfriend is already my new favorite café/bar in Brooklyn. The décor is absolutely adorable—every corner is photo-worthy. It’s super spacious, perfect for group hangouts, dates, and solo time working on a laptop or reading a book. Their coffee is top-notch-- the cardamom rose latte is a must yum!! Their cocktails are well-crafted and actually taste as good as they look. Drink and food prices are affordable.

Such a cool spot - the first cooperatively run cafe, bar, and event space in NYC! Queer run, affordable, and witchy vibes. The cocktails were delicious and the decor creates an inviting atmosphere. I love it and can't wait to come back!

Great vibes, very queer AND diverse. Glad i wasnt the only black person there lol. I was working on a project late into the night and while people were partying, I wasn't bothered! Great place to have a drink and have your computer out. Friendly bartenders, I wasnt sure what I wanted and they walked me through the menu. Love it!!

First of all, the space is so openly inclusive and queer, I felt at home straight away. The space is massive with plenty of corners to get some quiet time to yourself while reading a book. The decor is to die for. I am drawn to the illustrations and art that is all over the place. The drinks are also very well thought out and gorgeous! I have yet to join any of their events, but everything seems to be fun and entertaining! They also carry my favourite beer brand, Back Home!
