reunion
“The shakshooka was really tasty, served with a chunk of baguette, yogurt and an Israeli salad.”
“They brew Stumptown coffee, and it outshone most of the other places we went to while in NYC (the West Coast is another story).”
“The shakshuka here is very popular but I personally think their fancy grilled cheese is super amazing!”

This is a great neighborhood spot for a casual brunch, light lunch or breakfast. It's a small spot with seating that is sort of first-come, first-served (they may or may not take reservations but when you come in, there's no hostess and you just order at the counter and seat yourself).
I like the avocado toast – it's a small-to-medium sized portion with hearty bread and comes with a poached egg and potatoes. The potatoes are nothing to write home about but the rest is delicious. I also like the shakshuka and quinoa salad. Great coffee. Sometimes good people-watching also. All in all a good neighborhood meeting spot.
Love this place. It's got a real Middle Eastern feel, with both food and music. Coffees are great, with lots of nice iced choices as well. Staff are terrific and really attentive.
I'll be back!
Cute corner cafe that is perfect for reading or studying. I came here on a Sunday afternoon and loved it because there was so much natural light and it was relatively quiet (I personally hate reading at Toby's because it's so loud and very difficult to even nab a seat). They also have good brunch options my personal favorite being the shakeshuka – though they make it less watery and spicier than most other places.
Update: just came again and tried the avocado toast and herb omelette. Would highly recommend both they were delish. The omelette comes with a bun (it's more like an omelette sandwich) and the bun was delightfully fresh)
Found this place while waiting for a friend. Great lighting and layout of the place. Their coffee and matcha tea are delicious (matcha could be a tad stronger). Haven't tried their food yet but from what I see, looks very appetizing.
Delicious food and excellent service.
When our brunch plans fell through at a nearby establishment, friends and I called re.union to see how long the wait was. The person over the phone said that a party was just about to clear out and that they would hold the table for us since we were on our way. So nice!
Shakshooka – smelled kind of like a lasagna. Warm and hearty without being too heavy.
Chocolate chip pancake – gooey and oh so delicious. Had the consistency of a pound cake.
Schnitzel sandwich – that battered chicken was so crispy and flavorful! The condiments were a good compliment/addition without overpowering the chicken.
Mediterranean omelette – it was good but didn't quite wow me. Slightly bland, but I liked the salad and bread that came with it.
Service was superb! It appeared to be cafe style so I didn't expect anyone to wait on us once we got our food. I asked one of the gentlemen where I could get a spoon, and he eagerly got one for me and told our table to let him know if we needed anything else. Everyone was so pleasant!
High on my list of places to which I'll return.
Reunion is probably the best brunch experience I had for a very long time! My party strolled in on a summer Saturday morning before the cold, pouring rain came down. This place is super tight due to the big bench in the middle but cozy for this weather. I do like the antiques on the wall and toys in the drawer that makes this place extra cute.
To start, we got Stumptown Coffee, of course to warm up. Stumptown Coffee is always great and I prefer to drink it black – no sugar, no milk.
For our brunch plates, we shared the Avocado Toast, Shakshuka, and the Sabich Bowl.
Avocado Toast had a good amount of smashed avocado on top of a multigrain toast and topped with red pepper flakes and other spices. It came with a perfectly poached egg. This is probably one of the best variations of the Avocado Toast. The spices used in this dish was what made the big difference for me. Very flavorful and healthy. Shakshuka, this dish came out in a skillet and it was piping hot! This dish is no joke with its spicy level and I really enjoyed it. The soft bread that comes on the side was just perfect to dip it in. Sabich Bowl, this was quite interesting. My favorite part was the fried eggplant cubes. It was crispy and delicious with the yogurt dip on the bottom.
Overall, a very healthy brunch to start the day with. I do look forward to come back to try some of their baked goods and coffee!
Even though most yelp pictures looked too professional to be true, we decided to have brunch at Reunion. And, guess what? Pictures are just showing the exact reality. The place is small and cute. Everything is fresh and delicious. We had a matcha donut, a pressed orange juice, a pancake and a cappuccino. Totally awesome! Loved it.
The food here is great, but I honestly can't imagine that I'll return here for brunch.
Oh my goodness, when I say this place is cramped, I really mean IT. IS. CRAMPED! I honestly felt like I was in a scene on Broad City making fun of how cramped this hip Brooklyn brunch spot was. Getting seated was hysterical and certainly made for an uplifting start to the experience.
Now onto the experience! There isn't really table service, you order and pay (including tip) at the counter and wait for your food to be delivered to you. We had to ask a few times for napkins and place settings and I was brought a dirty water glass so then I had to maneuver my way back out of this bizarre seating arrangement to grab myself a clean one.
As for the food, it was fantastic. I ordered the shakshuka (which was actually the entire reason we decided to try this place) which was amazing. I added feta to my plate and my dish came to nearly $17! That's pretty steep for essentially eggs in a tomato sauce. Eggs were done to perfection, the sauce had a nice spice to it, and two slices of bread are included to sop up all the saucy goodness.
Upon leaving, my friend accidentally knocked the sugar packets off another table (due to it being so cramped) and instead of offering to help, the workers there kind of just awkwardly stared as we picked things up off the floor before finally making an exit.
I didn't have a bad experience by any means, I just don't think the food was phenomenal enough to justify the price and I personally found the atmosphere to be uncomfortable. Great shakshuka, though.
