I ordered an iced latte made with oat milk, and it was absolutely delicious! I also love that the simple syrup is homemade; it adds a unique touch of sweetness that enhances the overall flavor. This drink is definitely one of my new favorites!

Great place, lovely cafe and amazing staff! Salter house feels like a countryside home, in Brooklyn. I have tried various matcha latte in the neighborhood and they have the best one without a doubt! Everyone is always very friendly, baked goods are very good quality. A gem in Brooklyn Heights!

I stopped by the Salter House, just to visit some friends and take a look … and I left totally enchanted by the little nook. Everything was so well appointed, just enough and not too much. I didn’t expect to shop, but I left having crossed four gifts off my list, and a treat for myself. Tasteful, unique, high quality items at a surprisingly fair price. The retail area takes up only a small part of the space, the rest is dedicated to connecting: An edited selection of simple, healthy baked goods and coffee etc. Window seating that wraps around two sides of the store. Staff is present, friendly, but not over-bearing. If you have children, this feels a welcoming place — a quaint cul de sac feel in the middle of Brooklyn. If you don’t have children, their presence was light hearted and wasn’t disturbing. For those who like careful curation, Picture Room is just next door. Salter House is now at the top of the NYC list of places to go that I share with friends who visit. Thank you!

Lovely decorated Café, what you see is what you can buy. I love the Ambiente and idea, it's a pleasure to sit by the window, enjoy a Cappuccino and look at what's around you or watch busy Atlantic Avenue.. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Only thing I missed was something other to eat than cookies & cake, BUT the cookie was sooo delicious! Highly recommended!

A unique rustic place where local crafts meet baked goods and amazing tea selection. They offer a good choice of gluten free pastries, their matcha latte is also good. This is a primarily retail shop to buy kitchen ware, linens, natural brushes etc. But they have 3 tables inside which makes it a cute space to sip some tea in a cosy setting a-la Provence. Also there are a few seats outside, but Atlantic avenue is not the most picturesque place for people watching.
