"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.

Love this spot! I came Sunday night and had a smash burger and some really good cocktails. Apparently there was a one night only tea cocktail pop up, and they were so good. Our bartender was so sweet, and she created all of the drinks herself!

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.

The chokehold that Dae has on me… but really, this place is such a gem! I’m so grateful that it’s in Carroll Gardens and hope it never leaves. Yes, it can be pricey, but so are the other comparable options in the neighborhood and here they put a lot of effort into the environment and presentation of the food/drinks, which I think helps to justify the cost. The environment here is very peaceful and it’s a lovely place to unwind. They make my favorite lattes in the city and have unique and delicious food options. Def recommend the corn latte while it’s still in season! <3

Absolutely love this place! I have been multiple times and all my friends are always so impressed with the details of the decor, ambiance, food, and drink. My servers have always been super helpful and make really good recommendations. I would totally recommend this for a date night/ catching up with an old friend.
