Christina Baumberger: I have had brunch, lunch and dinner here. Sometimes dessert and wine on Sundays. Everything is tasty- staff is super friendly, and champagne by the glass. Enough said :)
Kevin Skobac: Bacchus bakes some of the best croissants in the neighborhood. A perfect cafe for morning snack.
micah craig: Sacrebleu, the service here is so comically poor it's like a Monty Python skit about a French cafe, but the garden is lovely and the Croque Madame is excellent.

Sabrina Majeed: The socca is a healthy, delicious, and unique dish. Just ask for hot sauce in addition and go to town.
Baratunde: Don't sit at my table. I have a favorite table here but won't tell you which one because then you'll sit there. So just be smart and don't sit at my table. All the eggs are delicious.
J Crowley: Same owner as Buttermilk Channel so it's gonna be great. Apps: half lobster and sardines w/ bread + butter. Main: Pappardelle w/ oxtail ragu. Love the walnut bitters in Normandy Old Fashioned.

Birchbox: Great spot for weekend brunch! Try the poached eggs with a Bloody Mary, you won't regret it ;)
Alex Rainert: The Bloody Mary comes with pickled fennel (!!!), is crazy delicious and super spicy but you're not going to be a baby about it, are you?
Alex Rainert: Pay attention, delicious pie lovers! Rucola features a "Four & Twenty Blackbirds pie of the day." SAY WHAT?! You need to order this now. They make some of the best pies you'll ever eat.

The Wall Street Journal: The eggs Benedict and Florentine are poached to perfection, but the headliner is Eggs Bar Tabac: two over easy served atop a bowl of baked ratatouille. All egg dishes are $9.95. Read more.

Caitlin Hay: On Thursdays, all champagne and wine are half-off, by the bottle AND by the glass. Get drunk on champagne and eat seafood fettucini!
Ashley Rose: Brunch - amazing. The pancakes rank up there with the best. I got the chicken sandwich and it was a little soupy, disappointing.
Brian Wrightson: Get the delicious pancakes. They're the closest you'll come to eating funnel cake for a meal.

Bookstore · Boerum Hill · 56 tips and reviews
Yael Feinerman: My favorite favorite bookstore - the staff has little databases of the best books ever implanted in their brains. Give them a list of your favorite three books and they can recommend the fourth.
Untapped Cities: This large and open bookstore and event space hosts literary greats such as Junot Diaz, Tao LIn, and Colum McCann. They also sell bestsellers for 30% off!
Nate S: Best book store in Brooklyn! Can't find a book that you're looking for? They'll order it for you. Skip Barnes and Noble down the street and check out BookCourt!
J Lee: Amazing cupcakes! Plus they make thier iced coffee with ice cubes made from coffee!
karen bonna rainert: Small little cookies, coffee, cake. Just a really nice place to meet a friend or to bring your Mom for dessert. p.s. fantastic chocolate cake.
karen bonna rainert: Some of the most delicious chocolate cake in Brooklyn can be found here and it's not terribly expensive.
