I don't know if it's my liberal arts college background or my NW vegetarian youth but I have a weakness for "hippie" food. I love whole grains, veggies, from scratch dips and fresh, local ingredients. It makes me smile to see a rainbow of food and I'm not talking Skittles
The theme at Abracadabra is Turkish food. They have Turkish coffee here which I love. Turkish coffee is so strong that you can't have it every day. It's basically very concentrated.
I knew what I wanted when I arrived. The "Two Fried Eggs" had my name on them. And I of course would splurge the extra buck fifty for my AVOCADO!! I must have it. The place was packed. The seating here is limited and I can tell the kitchen is a tight squeeze. When my plate arrived I was thrilled to see the perfectly cooked eggs on the labneh thin bread. Then some cooked kale,beets, roasted bell peppers, a homemade herbaceous hummus and some in house made chili mayo! I was in heaven. It was the perfect start to my day. All the flavors worked so well together. And when you eat such a healthy breakfast, you don't feel weighed down either.
I liked the painted tree on the wall, the colander plant holders, the colorful art and the vintage tables and dishware.
I can't wait to come back and try some coffee and treats! There were some interesting combinations of treats and I love me an everything style cookie. It's another wellness of mine. Inca Warrior Power Cookies have my name all over them. They are vegan cookies made with chia seeds, coconut sugar and oil, chocolate chips and sunflower seeds.
As businesses in this area move in and out, I hope and pray that cute little independent spots like this survive even if places like Whole Foods move in down the street. This type of business is truly what makes this area feel like a neighborhood. It's quirky, healthy, and filled with locals at all times.
It's a good place to stop in if you have a preference for healthier foods. Though it's not all vegan or raw or anything – they have a burger on the menu – they have plenty of healthy options like vegan desserts and stuff with chia seeds in it. The first time I went there I went with their maca oatmeal and sadly I do not recommend it. I think it was actually more like oats swimming in milk with some random fruit pieces than the kind of oatmeal that you would expect. However, on subsequent trips I've gone with these amazing croissant sandwiches that they have in the case and I have never looked back. Avocado, red peppers, hard boiled egg and more between the freshest tastiest croissant pieces.
The space is tiny so during busy times it can get quite crowded… probably best to wait outside for your food to avoid knocking into others who are trying to order. Overall a great part of this neighborhood and a wonderful spot to fill up on healthy eats!
Abracadabra is small and sits about 10 people. There are three small tables for two and one communal (generous for how big it is) for six. The furniture is mismatched but it gave the place a cute, rustic feel. When I went on a Sunday afternoon, there was one guy behind the counter who acted as the cashier, cook, and server… not that it needed a lot of manning for this small cafe. The only time it became a problem was when he was trying to prepare food while several people came in. I was in no rush but the guy next to me, waiting for his food, kept glancing over at the kitchen annoyed.
Here's what we ordered:
– Kofte Burrito: they ran out of the Turkish sausage so I asked if he could just take the beef patty from the burger and sub it in. It wasn't a problem. This is a super flavorful burrito. The green hummus is delicious. Everything about it melded together. The wild rice gave it much better texture than white rice, which ends up being mushy. I think he smeared some hummus on the lavash, total flavor boost. It was a big portion so we took half of it home.
– Chicken tikka plate: the chicken was moist and eel marinaded. There was a lot of food on the plate and it made me full without feeling gross and lethargic afterwards. The roasted veg was beans and sweet potatoes, which was well spiced, I wish there was more.
Overall, this is a great lunch spot. It's small and intimate and the service was very friendly and relaxed. I'd definitely come again. The price was reasonable, which is starting to be hard to find as Williamsburg becomes more and and more Manhattan.
I loved this place so much I came twice. I usually only try different places when I travel but I loved this place. The first time I got the golden milk. It's supposed to be healing. Had coconut milk, turmeric, cinnamon and other spices. Omg. It was sooo good. I'm going to be making this at home. I also had one of their vegan macaroons. Didn't like it. Gave it to my friend. She did.
Next trip I ordered another golden milk. Wasn't as good as the first one but he did say he was experimenting with the recipe. I also ordered one of their goddess cookies I think they were called. They were fresh and warm and gooey. So good.
To go I ordered the quinoa ball plate and it was fire! I want the recipe for them so I can make at home. Dude w the dreads was cool. The other guy too. Really enjoyed my experience at Abracadabra.
This place is really cute and they have insanely delicious food- Turkish infused.
I tried their house salad, Chicken tikka burrito and the organic burger.
Both sandwiches are very flavorful. And they use Lavash bread both for the burrito and the burger.
I never knew how good lavash bread would be as a burger bun. But it is amazing
The salad is filled with greens including kale, beets, avocado and carrots with a very light dressing.
Can not wait to come back to Brooklyn and visit Abracadabra for their yummy food. Perhaps this time I will try their breakfast!
This place doesn't deserve even one star. Two things of note:
1-my husband ordered a dish and noticed a long hair imbedded in the meal. We called for manager attention and he made us wait as he carried on with client. He then comes over and instead of promptly apologizing and taking dish away, he proceeds to dig in my husband's meal with his hand, pull out the hair and examine it in front of us. The nerve! And also: EWW. How revolting is that? And insulting…almost as if he was checking that it wasn't my husband's hair (duh it wasn't).
2-before ordering I asked the manager if anything was canned as I have a nickel allergy. He was quite pompous in his denial, pointing to the chalk board that says "our food is fresh & organic". So why, do I wake up the next day with hives on my face?
All in all two thumbs way down.
Love the staff here, space is small but so warm and welcoming. Good coffee and wonderful smoothies/juices.
This is only based on a decaf almond milk latte, which was a little burnt tasting. Also, I asked what was in the GF/V brownie and the cashier was pretty shady about it, saying their protective about recipes. I'm not a spy dude, just a lady who doesn't want to kill her husband whose allergic to everything. However, I will update when I go back because the menu looks great- vegan and gluten-free galore.
