Sit & Wonder

Sit & Wonder is a charming Washington Avenue cafe that has been a Prospect Heights anchor for years. The space is cozy, light, and airy, with a great community atmosphere and a pebble-strewn backyard that becomes prime real estate in warmer months. The cafe runs on Stumptown Coffee, with sandwiches and baked goods made in-house using quality ingredients — doughnuts from Dough, pastries from Choice, and bread from Balthazar. A small drip coffee costs only $1, which is increasingly rare in Brooklyn and reinforces the cafe's neighborhood-rooted identity. The food program is a real strength — proper sandwiches and a focused breakfast menu that supports both quick visits and longer working sessions. A reliable, beloved local cafe with both serious coffee and serious food.
