I've been coming here since 2001 but never had the pancakes until this morning. They are as good as everyone says, soft and fluffy yet crispy on the edges. They truly melt in your mouth! Great coffee!
Selena NelsonApril 19, 2017Great place and excellent service! A friend and I went here and sat outdoors on the patio in the back of the restaurant. It was a beautiful and we both ordered pancakes which we absolutely loved!
AlexJune 29, 2016maybe the best pancakes of all time? super buttery, fluffy, AND crispy? wow. everything is good here. the outdoor seating in the backyard is wonderful.
Ashley RoseMay 25, 2015Brunch - amazing. The pancakes rank up there with the best. I got the chicken sandwich and it was a little soupy, disappointing.
- All eggs come with a huge plate of awesome fries and salad. The waiting area is crammed so you end up with a disorganized mob on the sidewalk. Worth it!
Christina ChinApril 13, 2019Known for their pancakes, but they were just fine...the quiche was the bigger surprise that both of us preferred. Cute outdoor space in the back for summer.didnt need to wait for 2 on Sunday.
Perch yourself in the back garden on a weekend morning, order up a coffee, and enjoy a sophisticated take on your favorite diner classics for half the diner price.
Julius TarngAugust 30, 2015Everyone says the pancakes but yea the pancakes. Thick. Fluffy inside and crispy outside. Good for sharing. Lots of bees out back in the summer. Poached eggs and gravlax was p good.
Halstead PropertyJuly 10, 2013The initial crunchy bite from the crust followed by softness from the fluffy inside gives you that feeling of nostalgia right away. The bananas and berries on top are just the right fruity addition.
Mullica ZudsiriMay 10, 2015The Eggs Benedict was simple yet so delicious! The stuffed French Toast was also tasty. There is outdoor seating in the back too.
The only thing worth ordering here for breakfast is the pancakes, which are great.
Theana AOctober 6, 2013Such a great time! The food was delicious. My mom got the liver, boyfriend got duck, and I got salmon. We were all very satisfied and enjoyed our creme brûlée for dessert.
ChristinaAugust 19, 2020Lovely street dining (in summer). I had a delicious salmon salad & wine, and the staff were all sweet!
Jesse BagelsJune 20, 2015Nice breakfast/brunch spot with the feel of a French café and an outdoor patio in the back. The french fries are addictive.
Miho KusakaJuly 20, 2017Yes, it's the best pancakes I had in New York so far! Crispy on outside fluffy on inside. Yum. Weekday go around 11:30 for no wait.
Betty AnneSeptember 16, 2013Do not get the table by the front door. Swarms of bees joined us for breakfast on a beautiful sunny day. The pancakes were def delicious though best I've had in a restaurant
Danielle DolginFebruary 28, 2016Order the massive pancakes for the table. They are incredible. Luluc also supplies real maple syrup (not aunt jemima).
Kevin VMarch 26, 2017Great French classics! Staff is on point, food comes fast and right! Late brunch is recommended if you want to avoid the crowd
Staff PicksNovember 20, 2014Hunting for the best pancakes in town? Look no further, order the Donut Pancake from this little french bistro in Cobble Hill. These round delights come with sugar, fruits, and real maple syrup. Read more
Guillaume PJuly 4, 2016Nice breakfast place. Oh wait, this one actually really looks like a french café ! In Brooklyn ! Overall, I have a nice 'souvenir' of my salmon & eggs.
Ari NicoleSeptember 20, 2018The pancakes of course. Also the brioche French toast should be famous! Delish! Not too crazy about the drinks though...
Yep. Pancakes are great. I don't even like pancakes. The sausages they came with were also excellent.
Tim FallsOctober 11, 2012The spinach & goat cheese omelet is darn tasty. Comes with mixed greens (healthy!) and fries (not so healthy, but especially good)
CarolDecember 12, 2022Good food, bad service. Asked 2x for condiments, and the hostess gave me a rbf annoyed look, and walked away. I never got what I asked for but saw that couple tables away they did. CASH ONLY!
Jenna StrombergSeptember 7, 2013The breakfast menu is phenomenal! I was most impressed with their Pancakes. If you're looking to have a breakfast/brunch, this is the place to be! :)
Mike FriedmanNovember 2, 2014Most incredible pancakes I've ever had. Syrup is prime too. Add 2 sunny-side up and sausage because you're worth it (or do it for the #yolkporn).
Dertie BixonOctober 20, 2014The french toast, (or should that be freedom toast? ) is ruddy excellent. This is a charming place only let down byit's diner style coffee.
Journo GirlDecember 18, 2013They're so big on brunch they don't have dinner, they have drunch! The corn muffins are good, so are the mexi dishes. Pancakes look over the top! Dig in!
Madm FiaMarch 6, 2016Very good and affordable. The salmon was great as was the pesto and the cab sav wasn't bad either for $8.
Amazing staff, amazing fresh guacamole and unreal spicy margaritas!! A must go to!
Pancakes are crack. Crispy, thick and very fluffy. Good fruit and granola bowl. Decent egg benedict
Jenny McMahonJanuary 3, 2015Best pancakes around. Gets very crowded at brunch and there isn't much room to wait--so get there early!
MarthaApril 19, 2015surprisingly really tasty food. staff is friendly. get a table outside in the back in the warmer months.
Best brunch in the neighborhood. We always get a plate of pancakes for the table, to slice like cake after our meal. Also love the chickpea salad.
Barton SmithOctober 9, 2013The omelet is nothing to write home about. But those pancakes. You're punishing yourself if you don't order them.
Ellie DMarch 11, 2013Monday night Pasta Night Tuesday Night Mussels Night, all at a great price. Simple, easy, clean, convenient. Can't go wrong!
The pancakes are unlike any you've had before. Crisp, crunchy exterior, inside: fluffy and perfect.
Weds night is burger night. More food than you can eat and the veggie burger is seriously the Best I ever ate. All for $8.
Santi AmayaJune 7, 2015Yummy pancakes! The portion is huge, but if you have a sweet tooth like me that won't be a problem
Dean CareyApril 8, 2017Some of the BEST pancakes in NYC. Make sure you get some! (Also, its cash only)
Andrea SyrtashApril 2, 2012Get there before 11 am on the weekend if you want to get a table! In nice weather, check out outdoor dining in the back.
Sabrina MajeedSeptember 8, 2015I am not typically a pancake person but the pancakes here are worth trying! Be careful sitting outside though - bees galore
$8 mussels and fries on Tuesday nights. Fabulous brunch - get there early to avoid the lines.
vlad anichkinDecember 15, 2012My wife and I got pancakes and the salmon and scallion scramble. Both delicious and both come highly recommended.
Daysi P.January 1, 2017The pancakes are amazing here but I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and it was DIVINE!!
SparkieSeptember 26, 2012Brooklyn (Carroll Gardens) – Weekday brunch is $19.95 for a three course brunch, includes appetizer, brunch menu and delicious dessert
Niji J.May 31, 2015The reason the pancakes are so good is that they're crispy on the outside and doubly thick and fluffy on the inside
Pancakes are way overrated. I mean, they're good but not best ever. Also they are stingy on the fruit. Dinner here is great and so are the egg dishes at brunch though. Agreed about the chickpea salad.
