I came here very spontaneously with a friend for brunch. We happened to see this café while I was driving and decided to check it out.
Right when we entered, we noticed that it was extremely busy. We ordered and paid for our food and coffee. We had trouble finding seats, so the workers found some chairs for us and sat us down in front of the open kitchen. The workers are very personable.
Because of how packed it was, it took some time for my our orders to be made. However the wait was worth it. The food was amazing. I had the eggs royal while by friend had the poached eggs. We were both content with our dishes.
All in all, this place was a good experience. It also a few dollars cheaper than brunch places in Manhattan. The workers are very friendly. Thus, it's a wonderful environment.
Small fun place in Brooklyn to get some brunch. We were on our way out via Staten Island bridge, and Yelp said this was a good place to check out. Parking was pretty tricky but we finally found a place.
The interior, from the seating area to the kitchen, is fairly open to air. There's a wall garden leading up to the cashier and shelf of pastries. The menu was an interesting mix of influences including Egyptian. I decided on a scrambled egg white omelette, and my BF ordered what is basically a shakshuka.
Even though there were only 2-3 guys manning the kitchen, service was relatively quick.
I loved the omelette. It came with a salad and two slices of sourdough, and it was just an amazing combination of flavors. Very well cooked!
The shakshuka was not as amazing, unfortunately. Overly sweet, and the cubes of feta cheese didn't add much at all. The pita was a bit rubbery too.
Watermelon mint tea was average; wouldn't get again.
Overall, a 3.5 that I'm willing to bump up for the ambiance.
Overhyped.
After everyone and their mothers complimented this place, I finally forced myself to get up and check it out.
You order by the register and then spend the rest of your waiting time scouting out a table. You're looking at people hoping someone will eat faster so that you can sit, they're looking back at you spitefully eating in slow motion.. Awkward.
Once you're lucky enough to sit down, the server brings out your dish. I ordered the Kings Eggs I believe which were poached eggs with salmon, red caviar, the ever popular hollandaise sauce and roasted potatoes. It was good, but not great. My last couple of bites contained remnants of egg shells therefore I did not fully finish my meal. The latte was scrumptious though.
I love it here. This is my go to spot for Sunday brunch now.
I'm big on coffee – hot lattes with a nice art on top – I love that. Here they make a good cup of joe and its aesthetically appealing too. So is the good. The owner is Egyptian and they got a middle-eastern feel with some cuisine. We ordered shakshooka and egg sandwich. The shakshooka came with a huge piece of flat bread that was flavorful. Also fruit tart and macaroons. It tasted all good and it's priced accordingly for cafes of this type.
I will come back again in future.
I went today, a Wednesday at around 12:30 and it was pretty busy, full of people who were just sitting there with their laptops, either finished with their food/drink or not ordering at all. I didn't know if it was order and then sit or sit and then order, the guy by the cashier told me I could sit down and decide and come back to him to order. Luckily he told me that, so I quickly the two open seats at the large back table, or else it would've been taken by the people that came immediately behind me (a lot).
My mom and I decided on the Chicken, oyster mushroom fennel flatbread ($12/13) and the Three eggs omelette ($10/11). The prices were reasonable. I also got an Iced Lemonade, which was just regular lemonade with ice. I wanted the Lavender Lemonade, after hearing that it was good (but they didn't have that today booo). It was quite a wait since a few people were already on the line after we decided what to get. They give out number stands so you can place on the table at your seats and they will bring the food to you once it's ready. The flatbread was just amazing, just enough chicken, mushroom however I didn't really notice or taste any oysters. Besides that it had a sauce? In the shape of a warm put on top of it, which made it taste so good, might've been some black bean paste (forgot to ask). The Three egg omelette was alright. It didn't look like there was three eggs used in that omelette, more like one or two. There were cheese, spinach, and cherry tomatoes inside the omelette topped with sour cream and some smoked salmon. There were potatoes on the side (a bit oily) and two slices of bread with butter.
I liked the ambience of the cafe, wasn't too loud or dead silent. Having to share tables with other people wasn't so bad. It was nice with the windows, which let a lot of natural light in but it wasn't sunny or too bright. On a side note, the bathroom was huge.
Overall, I like the environment and the food is pretty good. And the bathroom is huge (main point, can't forget that!)
Only stumbled upon this cafe by chance, as my boyfriend and I were heading to Oxcart Tavern for dinner. Oxcart was around a 40 minute wait that day so we decided to stop by here for a cup of tea while we wait. What a precious gem in Ditmas Park. The decor was so warm and inviting, it was such a homey atmosphere I never wanted to leave! I got a tea (I think it was the peach blossom!) and it was great. I took a look at their menu and was amazed by the selection! Will definitely come back and try their brunch next time I am in the area!
Very cute hipster spot to grab brunch on nice Sunday afternoon. You have to order and pay for your food at the register first before grabbing a table. Remember to help yourself to some condiments yourself.
I ordered the Egyptian Poached Eggs and boy, I did not regret it! I wanted to come here again for a light dinner just to grab that! Super light and satisfying and don't forget to grab a latte with that 😀
What a gem! It's hip, and they've got a modern rustic feel going on. It feels cozy and homey without being cramped. The windows allow in a lot of light, and they'll open them up for some fresh air on a warmer day. I also LOVE the garden wall that they've got by the entrance.
We ordered at the counter, then found seats. Another bonus – they have a good variety: tables for two, high stools by the window, a communal table and a communal-ish table. Anyway, they took our order (and we could pay by card!) and brought the food over to us.
My boyfriend has the Egyptian eggs (at 6:30 PM) and I had the turkey panini. I don't know if I would really call it a panini – there were no grill marks and while the crust was crispy and cheese was melted, the white part of the bread was still soft. No crunch at all, which is fine considering I'm recovering from a wisdom tooth removal surgery. Anyway, food was great! My meal was simple, but it definitely hit the spot.
