mozaik cafe

Mozaik Cafe brings a slice of Mediterranean warmth to Williamsburg with its inviting atmosphere and bold flavors. Tucked into a converted industrial space at 522B Metropolitan Avenue, this cozy spot combines exposed brick walls, soft lighting, and the rich aroma of freshly ground coffee to create an oasis from Brooklyn’s bustling streets[3][5]. The acoustics here are notably thoughtful – traffic noise fades away beneath curated playlists blending jazz and contemporary beats[4].

Standout Disches
The menu shines with Turkish-inspired specialties like their shakshuka – eggs poached in a spiced tomato-pepper stew served sizzling in cast iron[1]. Pair it with their strong, cardamom-kissed Turkish coffee, brewed traditionally in a cezve and served with a side of lokum (Turkish delight)[1][2]. For lighter fare, the pastry case displays baklava layered with pistachios and honey-drenched phyllo.

Vibe & Details
Open daily from 11 AM until 7:10 PM, Mozaik operates as both a caffeine refuge and casual lunch spot[2]. With just a handful of wooden tables under repurposed factory lighting, it’s ideal for solo work sessions or intimate catch-ups. The staff’s warmth mirrors the space – one Yelp reviewer notes they “remember regulars’ orders by the third visit”[4].

While primarily a cafe, evenings see locals lingering over meze platters and glasses of raki as the playlist shifts to Turkish folk fusion[5]. Don’t miss their seasonal specials like rosewater lattes in spring or persimmon bread come fall[1][3].
