The "New Ozzie's" Is Kind of Adorable

This weekend I checked out Noella Brew Bar, the new café recently opened by Melissa Rapoport, the owner of Ozzie's who did not take our recommendation to call the place "The Fucked in Park Slope Café." Because of the storefront construction and scaffolding, it's easy to miss the entrance on 7th ave and Berkeley, but once inside the place is quite cute: jazz music, nice lighting, adequate seating. I ordered a hot chocolate ($4, creamy and not too sweet!) from a friendly barista, and peeped some delicious looking red velvet cake on the counter. They don't have much for food at the moment, only offering a vegetarian chili alongside the typical scones, bagels and croissants on this particular day, but perhaps that will change once the joint gets it sea legs.
