"Dae, a new cafe and design shop, has banned its customers from taking photos and videos due to the influx of influencers with professional cameras and tripods. 'Quick snaps' are permitted." - Luke Fortney

"At Dae, people with large Instagram followings take pictures of their milk bread french toast with checkerboard butter. This cafe for very cool people in Carroll Gardens has mugwort lattes, a resident dog, and a curated collection of houseware for sale, so that you can follow your latte with a wine glass purchase that you don’t need but really love. There’s a no-laptop policy, but go ahead and spend a morning in the bright corner space writing in the journal you haven’t touched in months, or catching up with a friend who likes nice things. They do Korean-inspired cocktails and small plates at night, but there are no reservations, and it gets busy. If you're willing to wait, spend the time people-watching before your maesil spritz and scallop crudo. " - Willa Moore

We just had brunch. The Mayak egg dish was cute and tasty, but small for the price. The tomato toast was just okay and also on the small side. The menu is very limited. They don't have black tea for people who just want strong black tea with their brunch. The service staff were pleasant enough, but there it's pretty much service including figuring out why one dish came and the other dish we ordered did not until we asked where it was. It's not as if the staff were run off their feet since there were only two other tables the entire time we were there. Both of whom already had their food. They have a few rules. No computers and no photos or videos of their very sparsely decorated and empty at high brunch hour space. This may reflect how they may not be appealing to neighborhood. We would not go back.

Delicious grain latte and pretty good espresso. The ambiance is minimalistic, very airy and bright. The brunch food was good, unique, and quite colorful, but the flavor was less memorable.

Stopped in on a Sunday after visiting the farmer's market nearby. Just the best tomato toast I have ever had, and enjoyed the really beautiful laid-back atmosphere. I want to come back for the dinner menu. The Korean dishes look like they'll be phenomenal.

Since the opening of DAE, I knew I needed to stop by and visit the space for myself! The space itself was smaller than I imagined, but it’s still very nice and aesthetically pleasing. I stopped in on my latest trip to the city, and finally got to try a few of their items. For myself I ordered the “MBB”(milk bread with matcha honey butter) and a friend ordered the “KST: Korean Street”. I loved the taste of the KST, the savory and sweet combination was very delicious! As for the “MBB”, I also thoroughly enjoyed the combination of the bread with the butter (as the matcha flavor did not overpower but instead complimented the taste). The hemp seeds added a nice crunch as well. Overall, I was very impressed with the items I tried, but also the atmosphere and service I received.

If you are reading this review, please go experience the aesthetic of this space. You will be delighted. I was eager to check out DAE, and when I did, it exceeded my expectations. I was most interested in the space and the wares. Both are so exquisitely curated leaving the customer feeling both at peace and inspired. Ajax at the counter was knowledgeable and friendly while I asked questions about nearly everything on the menu 😂 I tried the K-pear iced tea (I’m a huge Korean pear fan) and it was refreshing and juicy. Im excited to go back to try more of their daytime menu, and I’m curious to see what their evening offerings are like.

This place is special. You just know there was so much thought put into every single piece in this space--the objects on display, the vintage silverware, unique, precious but modern glassware... and the food and cocktails are high quality. Such a good experience every time.

Beautiful space, it’s thoughtful and carefully arranged. It’s definitely catering towards an experience so I was able to understand the pricing. If you need an aesthetically pleasing and atmospheric cafe moment this is the place to be. We were there for a pop-up event. Our drinks were delicious and the food was tasty. They transition into a wine bar at 4 or 4:30 pm. We are looking forward to coming back to experience DAE in the evening.

The cutest coffee shop/home goods/ wine shop. Beautifully curated home goods and yummy wine selection. I've had their cold misugaru latte and it's such a nostalgic taste from childhood. It's also nice chill place to have drinks after work.
