Iain CollinsDecember 1, 2014Pastries and coffees in the morning and the lunch menu starts at 11am, with additional things from the dinner menu available from 5pm. They have small bar with a few on tap beers and spirits too.
have fallen in love with the smoked trout paté (with trout roe) that's part of the new menu. might miss the macaroni and cheese (perhaps a mac & cheese mondays?) but that trout paté. damn. it's good.- Djaniella D.December 10, 2014Give their BBQ pork eggs bennidict a try. I know the combination may not sound as appealing at first, but they make delicious BBQ pulled pork and this dish kept me coming back for more!
Jonathan L.May 5, 2017The Old Bay Chicken sandwich is now a permanent member of the menu. Two pieces of chicken seasoned with Old Bay and slaw in between a sesame seed bun. It is really good. Try it.
Daniel BarnettOctober 21, 2014Great neighborhood spot. Burger, fries, coffee is great here. Designed and owned by architects (I think) next door, extremely cool. My dog loves it too cause he gets tied to an anchor with us outside.
Noah XifrNovember 17, 2013Wonderful spot for friends or dates. Recycled hardwood tables. Happy hour SHERRY quite nice $4! Cocktails shared Old Fashioned and Pussy Galore were well done! And yes, that's the name.
After like 4 years.... a new dish! Delicious huevos rancheros. The crispy corn tortilla under there is great
Sabrina MajeedJuly 19, 2015Eggs Benedict are amazing, veggie burger is good but dry. Cocktails are great and there's always a table available. Super cozy, neighborhood spot with friendly staff.
stephanie s.May 25, 2018The salmon with spinach and mushroom quinoa were delicious. Charred green beans were flavorful, as were the sauteed mushrooms. Cool and interesting venue. Recommend!
Mark BSeptember 30, 2019Great space, good service & reasonably priced. Went to hear a friend sing, stayed for dinner and drinks. The Trout was fantastic. Definitely going back!
Erika GrijalvaOctober 15, 2014The Smokin Paloma is a delicious paloma made with mezcal instead of tequila and the glass is rimed with salt and powder chili. The first sip is glorious smoky and spicy. A must have.- Joe DMarch 13, 2015For Mac & cheese lovers, theirs is perfect: Thin enough as an appetizer and perfectly flavored with the right amount of chive. No bread crumbs, thank god.
HolidayDecember 5, 2017Loved the mushroom Reuben might be better on a dark or marble rye. Veggie burger is also a standout. Everything is good with a Dark and Stormy!
Brent GatewoodMay 4, 2016I liked the burger, liked the Mac n Cheese. But, not loved. The menu is fantastic. I'll be back.
JPFebruary 20, 2016Great service and great burgers, we came for brunch and were surprised to find this gem
Ashley AlvarezMarch 30, 2017Great brunch option for families. They can get a little busy though so it's worth making a reservation if you can.
Stephanie JohnsonOctober 13, 2013Pecan Cranberry French Toast has been my indulgent weekend go-to of late. I'm normally a strictly savory breakfast person, but this dish is a comforting kind of sweet.
Gianna NebbiaNovember 1, 2017Really good food, casual spot for any meal of the day. Trivia on Tuesdays
This unassuming spot belies the experience that awaits. A casual, laid-back gathering place had Reggae playing that served up some great grub unpretentiously with good… (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
MichaelNovember 21, 2014Really disappointed with the new menu here, both for brunch and dinner. This used to be one of my favorite places.... bring back the BBQ Pork Hash Benedict!!
Long time favorite for brunch and lunch. Try the chicken sammy or the Cobb.
Callum KerrNovember 22, 2014Fantastic food, great service! Try the hot cider, it's great on a cold day! Greetings from Scotland! :)
Love the vibe here. Tasty beverages and I'm a big fan of their chicken parm. It's super thin and comes with either salad or pasta. Oh damn, yo!
Sebastian WallinApril 19, 2016Great place with a very cozy and familiar atmosphere. Trivia night on Tuesdays. Excellent drinks!- Stephanie JohnsonMay 4, 2013Endive and 'sparagus salad with pesto chicken plus side of wheat toast with butter and jam. Perfect combo of sweet, savory, clean and filling.
Vladie F.October 11, 2014The Burger w/ aged cheddar is scrumptious, although unfortunately they took out the French Toast from the menu, which was a huge bummer
Rajini PriyaFebruary 20, 2014I liked the Brunches at Building on Bond, but recently I went in for Lunch with a friend and we both ended up with upset Stomachs. I don't think I will ever go back!
Unexpectedly, the best Guinness in Brooklyn is served here. British and Irish expats rejoice.
DrewskiJune 2, 2016Like this place, but don't love it. Cool vibe. Wings were great but mac & cheese was bland and drink menu is kind of boring.
One of my favorite out of the way locations on Brooklyn. Great food & local atmosphere.- Iain CollinsDecember 1, 2014Happy hour 4pm-7pm everyday (1/2 off all beers on tap). Loved the homemade veggie burger and the fries!
Flora ChengSeptember 22, 2017Beautiful vibes at night. Beehive was tasty but strong, and chicken Cobb salad was great!
CompassApril 21, 2014The bar-turned-cafe offers beer, coffee, and pastries from Balthazar against quintessential Brooklyn decor.- L. T.July 17, 2015DELICIOUS. Very good coffee and the food was great! Good healthy options here too.
Santi AmayaOctober 4, 2015Great veggie burger. Get it with a nice beer on a quiet evening and your have the perfect comfort meal.
Try and get a table in the back room... Less chaotic, and there're fun games to play there! :)
Zach AaronsMay 11, 2012Really delicious pork shoulder sandwich on a pretzel roll with a nice lemonade. Sitting outside is delightful. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Brian KarfunkelJanuary 19, 2015Great atmosphere, and good food too. The steak was quite good, as was the salmon.- wifi no longer anything near reliable. quality of food is inconsistent, at best, while the stroller brigade is there to stay. it was such a great daytime spot back in its day. may it soon be again.
Carlos EscobarSeptember 18, 2012Excellent NY Strip. $19. Friendly staff. Order at the counter. Good street view. Outside seating available.
Varun ShettySeptember 10, 2012Slow service but the food makes up for it. The bruschetta is a must. Meatballs and mac n cheese are good too.
Ariane Ben EliAugust 15, 2013On weekday mornings don't come for conversation. All the laptops make it feel like talking in the reading room at the library.
The cocktails and mac & cheese are amazing. Which is why it's sad to to advise you to avoid all the other food! It's absolutely awful. Instead, think of this place as a cool bar / hangout.
