Made-to-Order Cannolis and Breakfast Steps From Prospect Park
Steps from Prospect Park, this cozy corner spot pairs hearty breakfast fare with made-to-order cannolis and fresh tarts.
Why this stop works ✨
Cousin John's Cafe and Bakery sits on Seventh Avenue in Park Slope, a few steps from Prospect Park and easy to fold into a morning walk. An open kitchen sets the tempo, turning out fresh breads, cakes, and lunch dishes through the day.
The pastry case reaches past the usual, and the move is a cannoli filled made-to-order to keep the shell crisp, backed by fresh tarts for the sweet tooth. On the savory side there is a hearty breakfast to anchor the visit. Cannolis filled to order keep the shell crisp in a way the pre-filled ones never manage.
At 4.3 stars across 773 reviews, the crowd leans on it for both breakfast and the pastry case. Come after a loop of the park, order a made-to-order cannoli and a coffee, and add a breakfast plate if you plan to sit a while.
