Hibiscus Brew is a female, black-owned, Brooklyn café born out of the pandemic that is bringing joy to Prospect Lefferts Gardens (PLG) one tummy at a time. We offer our signature sorrel drink, delicious and healthy smoothies, coffee and vegan pastries.
We believe that food is a way to bring Brooklynites of all types together to laugh, share, and nourish each other in these unprecedented times. Owned by Jamaican-American Allison Dunn, Hibiscus Brew provides food and community to those in PLG inspired by our Caribbean roots.

Hibiscus Brew is such a gem! I love stopping by in the morning for my favorites — a hot dirty chai and an ice-cold blue magic. Both drinks are consistently delicious, which keeps me coming back.Beyond the amazing drinks, they have a great selection of healthy options — overnight oats, fresh fruit cups, cold-pressed juices, and of course, the hibiscus sorrel mocktail, all of which are must-tries. The space is cozy, the vibe is peaceful, and it’s the perfect place to start the day. Also, I would like to thank Angel the barista who always remembers my order — it’s the little things that make this place feel so special!

Stopped by as a part of a community event today and had a great experience inside. Staff were friendly and drinks were unique and interesting! It’s also a local Jamaican owned small business so felt awesome to show love!

Hibiscus Brew Café is truly a hidden gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm smiles, vibrant colors, and the sweet aroma of fresh hibiscus tea. The atmosphere is cozy yet lively perfect for relaxing, catching up with friends, or getting some work done.
Their signature hibiscus drinks are absolutely amazing refreshing, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I also loved their coffee and smoothie options, which taste just as good as they look. Everything feels natural, healthy, and made with care.
The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, always willing to recommend something new to try. You can really feel the love and culture behind every sip and every bite. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, Hibiscus Brew Café is a must-stop spot for good vibes and great flavors! ✨

The location was cute, but unfortunately, the staff member Cynthia preparing the food and managing the front was quite rude and unhelpful. My interaction with her was disappointing, especially as I was there with my daughter. When we inquired about allergens, the representative responded dismissively, stating, “I don’t know anything about allergies,” with an angry and disrespectful tone. In my opinion, if someone is not fond of interacting with people, they should reconsider working in customer service.
Small update!
Cynthia told us she didn’t know anything about allergens stating your bake products wasn’t made in house. This was stated to my daughter and me. This didn’t seems like any regards to allergies!!!! Again kindness goes a very long way. It was rude because my teen daughter has serious allergies and such a horrible moment to start her day. It was a basic allergen question.

Decent coffee spot. I feel like it’s more of a instagram place than an actual coffee place. The things there and coffee look nice and make for great pictures but the coffee was pretty average. The staff was also very okay, they just seemed like they didnt enjoy working there but maybe an off day. I would at least try them once though.

Love the decor and ambiance of this place. On my way to Prospect Park and going for walks, this spot has great coffee to grab on the way there. Their latte is hot, and nicely made. I would come back to try other things.

I host a community club called Tallawah Collective, and we met here last weekend to have our spring goal-setting workshop. Hibiscus Brew is gorgeous on the inside and outside, the baristas are so kind, and their drinks are as innovative as they are delicious. Anddd it’s Jamaican + woman owned. We will definitely be back! . Go check it out if you haven’t already!!

Really weird energy. At first: walked in, had a friendly welcome. I got a bottle of sparkling water and it wasn’t cold so I asked for a cup of ice and i was given hesitation and a small paper cup? If im buying a $9 warm bottle of water, i kinda expect to have a regular cup…with ice?
my friend ordered a mocha latte and when she received it, it was almost as white as milk. Everybody knows that fear when you order coffee and it’s super light. Obviously would never tell someone how to do their job, because people are trying their best always… but when asked if she put mocha in it (trying to avoid saying it tasted bad) she said she broke up a stick of chocolate – that may taste good if made properly…. but everything was weird. super passive aggressive. my friend and i were in a great mood heading to the park, but that def shifted a few minutes
