Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Greenpoint, Brooklyn

Rania • December 11, 2023Really really good plain croissants. They also have an interesting chocolate version where the entire croissant is mixed with chocolate. Price is about $5 per plain croissant w/ tax

Peter C. • September 18, 2017Personalized cookbook store & Sicilian cafe w/ a lovingly curated set of (mostly) food-related items. Cafe is cozy, food & baked goods are delish. Go on the weekend for arancini w/ a free drink.

Zachary M. • October 19, 2016Affordable cocktails - beer and shot specials - $1 pool table : #local

Yashas M. • May 21, 2023Green eggs and jam ftw! I’d be willing to bet that this is one of the best, if not the best bun sandwiches in 🗽

Nathan • November 6, 2019A fast/casual pasta joint with plenty of options and at a great price — especially considering the neighborhood. Don’t sleep on the scampi. Pair it with the arancini and a glass of wine.

Amanda B. • August 24, 2014Come here for their cinnamon rolls! They have a hint of salt mixed into the cinnamon, which makes for a perfect sweet & salty combination.

Lizzy K. • June 25, 2021They have the best hojicha latte and bento boxes! You can also get japanese soy sauce and condiments here.

Juliana A. • December 7, 2015The ones with ricotta are really good. I love that they don't put pressure on you to leave (as at Roberta's). Service is fantastic! Be there early, there would be a line at 5:00

Paige Y. • May 14, 2010The bavarian cream eclair is delicious...get there early because they run out fast! Also, the apple turnover is good, one is big enough for two people.

Dan M. • June 27, 2022The cocktails and atmosphere of this bar can't be beat. The back patio is an excellent date spot.

Noah W. • October 5, 2023Phenomenal tacos. Campechano, Al pastor, and nopales with chicaron are the winners.

Nathan G. • June 29, 2013Great local spot. Mostly a cocktail bar, but they have quite an assortment of beers, as well. Recommended for cyclists especially (directly on bike route).

Natalie P. • April 19, 2022Great americano. If the weathers nice, sit outside, or grab a coffee to go in the walk up window

Alex H. • December 5, 2022Divey but with a lunch/dinner menu and cocktail list. Super friendly staff. Chill atmosphere.

Kate B. • March 11, 2020A hidden gem! Tasty cocktails with even better food. Be sure to try the Bahn Xeo.

David R. • November 30, 2015Tap list changes frequently but the bar food is amazing and overlooked. The loaf of bread is worth every cent. There's a reason the restaurant in back has Michelin stars

Tamara • August 2, 2015Loved the cheddar mustard scone!

Lee W. • June 20, 2022Great Japanese comfort food. A bit on the heavier side. I ate too much fried chicken and tonkatsu

Silene L. • April 13, 2019Most excellent modern Mexican. I had the beef tartare with a little kick to it and the soft shell crab tacos. What a treat for the end of the week!

Christopher L. • April 2, 2013A good alternative to milk and roses when one doesn't have cash. The atmosphere is extremely pleasant and the staff is incredibly friendly. Love their custom roasts.

Erik C. • July 28, 2018Cute little spot without outdoor garden with the vines growing all around. Feel like in ur friends backyard relaxing. With good drinks & good prices. Simple food but go there for atmosphere and music

Colin D. • February 8, 2020Amazing slice shop. Sesame crust on the square slices and the hot honey slices are the highlights.

DoubleDeuce • July 8, 2024The John Daly is a nice and silly drink and the pinball is great. Nice backyard and great spaces and tables for groups.

Colin M. F. • September 11, 2021Absolutely must go to the back bar for their tea and dessert tastings. They are one of the only places in the USA that grinds their own matcha, so get that.

micilin o. • July 7, 2018Great locally roasted coffee and and a super small but solid pastry selection. ham and Swiss croissant is a favourate.

J B. • February 24, 2019Everything on the menu looks ace. I had the egg and hummus bowl which was v good. Although too much hummus. Good coffee too

Djaniella D. • April 19, 2018I know the pancakes are a fan favorite here, but the egg sausage breakfast sandwich will also change your world. Make reservations to avoid the wait / bar seats. Brunch only offered weekends!

Zack K. • March 26, 2017Everything is so great. This place can be a scene on the weekends though. Grab a garlic onion Bagel with all the works + a pastrami egg and chez to share 😍

Fodor's Travel • September 9, 2015Though the shop isn't a full-service tea salon, you can always find a pot or two brewed for tasting. With their elegant yellow canisters, Bellocq teas make great gifts.

Iker A. • November 12, 2010The white borscht and the hunter stew will be the end of me. They are both fantastic!
