Super delayed with posting this, but much needed. Bought the falafel bowl for myself and the chicken kebab bowl for my teen. Got some ice cream for the little one and chocolate chip cookies to go . Both dishes were AMAZING! Fresh, full of flavor and a great portion (couldn’t finish in one sitting). The desserts were great as well. The service was also noteworthy. The gentlemen were friendly, didn’t rush my decision-making and took their time making our food. The atmosphere is also great. Beautiful decor and lighting that create a cozy ambiance. Will definitely be going back again! - DSRM

Introduction / Overview: More Than Just Coffee in Bushwick

Located at 436 Evergreen Ave in the heart of Brooklyn's dynamic Bushwick neighborhood, Laziza Cafe is a true gem that defies the traditional "coffee shop" label. While it serves exceptional Coffee and a full suite of espresso drinks, Laziza Cafe has carved out a unique niche by blending the comfort of a local coffee spot with the robust, flavorful offerings of a Mediterranean-inspired kitchen and a fun, modern dessert parlor.

The cafe is a venture born from local experience—as one customer review aptly notes, it's where "The Deli Boys embark on a new Venture," creating a space that feels pleasantly random, fun, and fulfilling. It’s an ideal destination for New Yorkers seeking a cozy, neighborhood-feel atmosphere, high-quality savory lunch and dinner options, and truly decadent sweet treats, all in one spot. Patrons consistently praise the fresh ingredients, generous portions, and the noteworthy, friendly service that makes every visit a pleasant experience. The beautiful decor and lighting create a cozy ambiance, perfect for working, catching up with friends, or simply unwinding.

At its core, Laziza Cafe is the neighborhood's go-to for a perfect balance: from an energizing Espresso to start the day, to a satisfying Chicken Shawarma Bowl for lunch, and a lavish Pistachio Crepe to cap off the evening.
