The owners of Milk Bar in Prospect Heights take on another up-and-coming ‘hood with this Ditmas Park coffeehouse, serving Counter Culture coffee and simple French fare. Deco-era light fixtures hang above antique church pews and imported French café tables, where locals can take advantage of free Wi-Fi. Stay inside or grab a sidewalk seat to munch on snacks including Ceci-Cela pastries and a selection of ficelles, toasted baguette sandwiches made with fillings such as smoked chicken.
