C.Lo Cafe

“A blessing and a curse because it's right across the street so I'm there every damn day getting their awesome cold brew, or killer veggie avo bagel.”

“Their cocktails are unique and flavorful, teas and lemonades are flavorful and coffee is from toby's estate and at a much more reasonable price.”

“The baked eggs were so fresh and the cilantro, tomatoe and onion were refreshing flavors.”

  1. I was happy with this place. I live not to far and met a friend for brunch. I got the yogurt and berries and I was surprise that is was not too expensive. staff is friendly and service quick!
    I might come back to try more on their menu because everything looked delicious!

  2. Great restaurant with a simple yet perfectly executed menu. I've only been here for breakfast but I'd be excited to return to try other things.

    I ordered the Veggie Avocado Bagel that came with mashed avocados, sprouts, cucumber and tomatoes. I added an egg white for a surcharge but it was totally worth it. The sandwich was very substantial yet light at the same time. Delicious.

    Service was friendly and efficient. Located very close to Grand Station (L).

    I'd return to try more of the menu!

  3. Came here for a Sunday brunch and instantly fell in love with the place. The cafe's interior is warm and welcoming. Cute flowers on every table. There are also a few tree stumps outside for seating. Very affordable menu items and an excellent selection for any occasion.

    The staff is also friendly and helpful. Our waitress gave us recommendations and let us know the selection of the day. We decided to try the new Apple Cider Sangria ($8), the herb lemonade ($3), the yogurt bowl ($7) and dulce grilled cheese ($7). The apple cider sangria is an interesting fall twist of the typical sangria. The herb lemonade has a bit of thyme and their house made lemonade. I enjoyed the yogurt bowl a lot, which had two scoops of deceiving greek yogurt haha. Perfect amount of sweetness from the honey as well. I was very pleased with the dulce grilled cheese. I wasn't sure what to expect at first but the grilled cheese was probably the best part of our brunch. The toasty, warm bread, sweet strawberry jam oozing from the sides, fresh ricotta and berries.

    I will definitely revisit for another brunch to try more food items. Or maybe even stop by for some Toby's Estate coffee.

  4. i am in love this place! i know it might be a little premature since I've only been here once but it will definitely not be the last. Like a past reviewer stated a little part of me doesnt want to give this place a review since i want it to be a hidden gem forever.

    the place seats around 20 people and is very charming and cute. Their menu is ON POINT! They have brunch items and lunch/dinner items all at a reasonable price! I got the dulce grilled cheese: ricotta, fresh berries with strawberry jam spread. It was amazing and all for 7$. My friend got the breakfast bowl which has greek yogurt, fruit and granola also 7$. Im eager to try everything else on the menu without long lines and wait time. lol

    Aside from an amazing menu they also have a great drink selection. Their cocktails are unique and flavorful, teas and lemonades are flavorful and coffee is from toby's estate and at a much more reasonable price.

  5. It is a very cute spot for breakfast! I really enjoyed it. The food was healthy and yummy. The ambiance was fun and it seemed like a nice place to study also.

  6. As someone who got priced out of Crown Heights ($3k/month, can you believe it?) I know how "gentrification" can be a double edged sword.  However, there is one effect that goes hand-in-hand (hand-in-mouth?) with a neighborhood in an upswing that makes it all worth while: The plethora of excellent fun, trendy brunch places that inevitably follow!

    You know the type of spot.  The food is fresh and eclectic, mirroring the fresh and eclectic NYC clientele, comprised of hipsters, musicians, bankers, artists, political activists, all melded in one big New York City melting pot.   The neighborhood waitresses know the neighborhood locals yet welcome first time comers because they know that most of the people that come are here because of the restaurant's reputation via "word of mouth".  They tend to be smaller than demand dictates, which means they tend to have a very relaxed mellow vibe, but sometimes with wait lines (which makes scoring a table all worth while!)

    New York City has become a cottage industry of hip knock-your-socks-off cafes / brunch spots, and I for one am a sucker for these places.  Well, this 5-star rating is here to tell you that C.Lo Cafe is one of these places!

    I ordered the C.Lo burger.  I gotta say, I asked for medium rare, and that's exactly what I got.  Medium rare.  I've seen world-class steakhouses like Peter Luger's screw that up.  Kudos to you, C.Lo!  The patty was bigger than I was expecting, and unlike some of the crappy places popping up in NYC, you don't even have to pay extra for lettuce and tomato here.  This is not the throwaway burger you see in diners.  You order it because it's damned good burger, not because you're ordering a burger by default.

    My baby ordered guacamole with chips (which I shared) and has been raving about it ever since.  Obviously made to order, it was incredibly fresh and vibrant with fresh ingredients.  The tortilla chips were amazing

    My wife ordered the brunch tostada, and when the plate came out, I was instantly jealous (I'm ordering it the next time we come here).

    All in all, good food, wonderful staff, relaxed NYC vibe.  This place is definitely "as good as it gets."   Five stars.

  7. A very charming new cafe. All the staff here are so welcoming and friendly! Starting my morning off here set a great tone for the rest of the day. Definitely a perfect slow, sunny, lounge-y Saturday/Sunday morning vibe, but I'd wish to sit here any day of the week ;]

    They have a very wide selection of bagels, bagel sandwiches, scones, muffins, pastries, and other baked goods at the counter. Of course, when the sign outside boasts "Toby's Estate coffee", you know they will serve you up a spectacular cup of coffee from one of Brooklyn's best coffee houses. They also have an entire sit-down brunch and lunch menu which includes three, yes you read that right, THREE different kinds of Avocado Toast. I got the one that was topped with olive oil, hard-boiled egg, and black sesame seeds, and it was phenomenal. I can't believe I've never thought to sprinkle black sesame seeds on avocado mash before, because the texture and flavor contrasts are insane. The avocado toast itself was a slice of loaf bread and was toasted to a level just shy of crunchy. My friends ordered the tostadas and organic eggs and everything was delicious and perfectly portioned.

    Color me impressed! Will definitely come back.
