Gage GroveFebruary 20, 2016This place has awesome options for everyone (vegan, vegetarian, meat eaters). Super small and cozy so try and get there early. Feels like a very friendly and family environment. Food was delicious.
Sergio SeplovichMarch 22, 2015Hands down best brunch spot in brooklyn. Yeah, I said it. Amazing coffee, amazing food (try the biscuits n gravy) and even better service. Cannot say enough good things about this spot!
Aaron ThomasOctober 30, 2012Been going every weekend, and I can't seem to order anything but the Belgian waffle with coffee and OJ. gf switches her orders up though, so I DO get to try other things.. Excellent everything.
Sherin JeanApril 26, 2014The mofongo with a over easy egg and avocado was amazing. I wasn't too crazy about their roasted potatoes, they were bland. The coffee was really good too. Super friendly staff n not a long wait
Christy CampbellJanuary 8, 2016I love the vegan options here, also sometimes just the potato bowl. Haha. Unlimited coffee, also a plus. Huge wait for brunch on weekends - go during the week if you can.
Martinez ElvisJanuary 4, 2014grass fed burger with bacon and roasted potatoes... Enough said. This will leave you so very happy you ordered exactly this!! AMAZING!! The brioche taste just like a warm buttery croissant would taste
Karla WApril 1, 2015The Belgium waffle is AMAZING! Fluffy and flavorful. Be sure to get bacon and have thrm put the berries on the side do you can pick on them later.
Mariuxi TapiaJanuary 22, 2017Their baked eggs special are delicious (except the cabbage) and flakey biscuits are delicious as well as their Benedict.
Mallory CooneyAugust 12, 2013Ranchero Benedict at brunch on Sunday is probably the best decision a girl can make to atone for the bad ones last night
Lukas ThomsApril 4, 2015I haven't ever had a bad thing (waffles, biscuits and gravy, eggs ranchero), but if you're into breakfast sandwiches, Ghia's can't be missed.
Nicholas DoyleNovember 18, 2014The waffle is the best there is. Crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside, immensely flavorful. The best in the city, I dare say.
Krista marie ImusOctober 16, 2016I loooooove cornbread pancakes so it was a dream to find out that's how they serve their eggs bennys! Super delicious!
Moritz B.April 12, 2016Excellent BLT panino - there's spinach on it! Perhaps not the most obvious place to work with a laptop (I was the only one), though it is possible. Closes at 4pm.
Tony GrundOctober 17, 2015WARNING: The BACON gravy is based upon the MUSHROOM gravy! So if you don't like mushrooms, don't get the bacon gravy (no matter how much it may be calling out to you)!
Kris RichardsJanuary 2, 2015Amazing lumberjack stack option, fresh salads, & great drinks. Can't go wrong w breakfast lunch or dinner.
Daria TryashinaNovember 1, 2015Nice place with hearty breakfast options. friendly stuff and a lot of wall outlets to charge your phone)
E HSeptember 26, 2015Get the lumberjack stack (waffles, eggs, bacon) and drown it in syrup and hot sauce. It'll make you happy.
Brielle ElizabethDecember 5, 2014Cozy atmosphere with amazing brunch + cocktail options. I recommend the seasonal personal-sized apple pie
Vegan scramble melts my heart. If it were a beautiful woman, I would consider going up to her and saying, "Hi" but would realize she would laugh at me and I waddle off. A+ Vegan Scramble.
Erica van RabenswaayJanuary 3, 2015If you get the lumberjack waffle sammich, make sure to pour a little syrup over it. Got mine with veggie sausage. Very filling
Vegan or not, you should get the scramble for brunch. The black bean sauce and lime cream are crazy good.
Given the quantity of (delicious) food contained within the breakfast brioche, I was very impressed by its structural integrity.
Great food, friendly staff, deliciously strong coffee. Avoid the Kim chee Bloody Mary if you're hoping for real Kim chee, though.
Make sure you get the mega sized mimosa. Favorite brunch place in Bushwick.
Paul TApril 29, 2016Pretty cramped, might be ideal for parties of 2. Food's pretty good, and despite being busy service was prompt for brunch service!
A DelSeptember 20, 2015The customizable potato bowl is yummy. I firmly believe that you can "bowl" anything and make it better.- Alex MillerJuly 26, 2015The brunch is good, but it gets very busy. Try their dinner menu. It's even better.
Just the best. Get here early for brunch. And eat dinner here and lunch.
Tarra McFarlaneOctober 28, 2014Tiny little tastey brunch spot. OMG the mega cypress mimosa!!!! (Made with grapefruit juice)
BKbybike NYCNovember 17, 2012Tomatoes are organic, grass-fed, cage-free, gluten-free, sugar-free and vegan. Yes, this place is hipster.
The sauce that comes with the burger is soooo good. I would cover the burger in it if I could
Jessica ForresterOctober 9, 2012Regular breakfast = Vegan scramble + megamosa + coffee. I'm not vegan. It's just delicious.
Summertime brunch? Do the Kahlua Cold Brew. No questions asked.
- Cheeseburger blew me away. Bacon infused grass fed beef, Vermont cheddar, and the bun is practically a croissant.
- The Mac n cheese on the dinner menu is pretty much all butter if that's your thing.
Leeza Lynn-AnneJune 27, 2014I have been out of the country for a year and wanted to return to Cafe Ghia today. I was welcome by arrogance. The girl treated us as if we were doing her a favor on eating there. We left!
