The chai is AMAZING and the vibes are always immaculate in the backyard. I make sure to make a trip there a few times a week because the owners, Shah and Yeliz are super sweet and will always go the extra mile with their customer service. It’s become a great third space to hang and decompress at. Sometimes when I’m not in the best mood they’ll customize a refresher for me and it brightens my mood immediately. The glitter in my rose lychee refresher and the chili mili refresher are definitely som

Absolutely Delicious! I’m the type of person that don’t like Cakes (usually it’s way too sweet and I hate icing/frosting). The plan was to order a gorgeous Instagram Worthy cake and post pictures and give it to some one. But I decided let’s just enjoy a bite. It’s so moist and rich and creamy. The Buttercream is so melting on the tongue. Chocolate mousse and fudge is paired perfectly. I plan to order more custom cakes here in the coming weeks.

Farm-to-table Northern Italian fare is served all day in this compact, lumber-lined restaurant.
Very small location and it's communal seating, but the food was great. Started with the Chef choice for the appetizer, good cheese, and pickled veggies. Then I ordered the Chicken over arugula and mushrooms. Great taste and good seasoning om the chicken. Just know the place is crowded but is still worth going for Dinner.

Small takeout-oriented joint selling Southern soul food & Caribbean specialties.
You never know with these spots, soul food is very either it’s delicious or meh. Soul spot delivered, this was delicious. I got to satisfy all my cravings. Everything I ate was delicious (turkey wings, oxtail, plantain, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, green beans) with generous portions. The store is also well maintained and clean, I wasn’t anticipating that I’d be able to sit and eat but it was quite clean. A local gem for sure.

Love this place. It has been there for over 36 years. A really great atmosphere with nice decor. Morocco like lamps give a great atmosphere. We have been coming here over the years and it has always been a place to celebrate, BYOB, and have good affordable food on a city that is not affordable

Super yummy burgers (4.5/5) that are juicy, flavorful, and cooked extremely well. We had the double stack burger and it was really fire - the bun and the sauce were really good too. Fries were good (4/5) but not worth the money. Probably best burger in the area

Petite vintage creamery specializing in ice cream that is housemade from area-sourced ingredients.
Van Leeuwen is simply the best ice cream in the city. The flavors are creative without being gimmicky and the quality of the ingredients is obvious in every single bite. The classics are perfect and the rotating seasonal flavors always give you a reason to come back. Creamy, rich, and never overly sweet — this is what ice cream is supposed to taste like. Long lines are worth every minute.

Rustic-chic bar offering cocktails, craft brews & American comfort bites in cozy, candle-lit digs.
I came here on a weekday. The ambience is low lit, nice AC, super chill and they were playing Willy Wonka on the tv. Good service. This is definitely the best bar with actual good food in the area. I had the impossible burger with everything on it, fries, and a small order of buffalo wings. The food brought me back to life. Shouts to the cook Damian!

Small, quiet, beautiful, no laptops, great food and presented with care. I think my sandwich is called the Caprese...so good! I know they are known for their Sweet or Savory crepes though. I had a Cortado at another time and it was unbelievably good. Loved the general atmosphere and vibe. Great place to take a book, not a place to bring work.

Sophisticated cocktails, craft beers & raw-bar items including oysters offered in an inviting space.
Neat bar in downtown Brooklyn: The atmosphere is pretty cool, I liked the decor quite a bit, nifty pop culture paintings and themed bar menu. Staff was pretty nice, particularly a host. The happy hour menu is pretty nice, food is quite good for a bar. The cocktail menu is nifty, some unique drinks based on a pop media characters. I had the Mini Mayor of Talkeetna, an interesting martini variation with Chartreuse with floral notes, and Yzma, a frozen coffee base cocktail. Give it a look if you ar

I passed this restaurant on many occasions and was compelled to try it out! A great choice for Vegetarian and Vegan eats! Very cozy seating. We sat in the first booth and it was very comfortable. I asked for help picking between two choices and made the right choice!! Now I have to go back and try the other things that had my attention. My only gripe that did not really cause an issue is how close the kitchen was. It was just a bit distracting to me. Overall it was a very good experience and

AMAZING!!!!! Service and Food were excellent. He was patient with us as this was our first experience. Explained the menu down to our likings, respected food allergies, and didn't even need a pen n pad to remember our personalized orders. 10/10 recommend, WILL BE going back. I forget the gentleman's name who served us, but he also created the mural on the wall as you walk in. Beautiful soul of a man. Our dishes were as follows: Tantankamen Ramen, Spicy Miso Ramen and Shrimp Chow Mein. Pork and C

We recently ordered from El Zason on Atlantic Avenue for a company meal, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about the experience. The tacos were absolutely amazing—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every bite was seasoned perfectly, and you could tell the ingredients were high quality. On top of that, they surprised us with a paella tray, which completely took everything to the next level. It was generous, beautifully prepared, and packed with flavor. The portions were great

I’m a regular client, have ordered hundreds of times here; love the food! Unfortunately lately I been noticing maybe a change of management? The portions of food are getting ridiculous, I pay almost 20 dlls for a bowl that barely has any food in it. I usually always get the same order and the last couple of times I been seeing less and less portions of food. I just don’t feel comfortable keep spending money here and not getting fair portions.

I really love the food! Everything is incredibly delicious! The cheese pastries, the garlic pastries, the chicken masala, the masala lassi… absolutely amazing!! The service is pleasant, and the decor is lovely. One small suggestion: it would be great to clean the decorations a bit more often, as they seem a little dusty right now. But the tables and dishes are always clean 👍

I just wanna say a huge thank you to James the manager at the Smith Street location. He is such an amazing guy… we had a little problem with our delivery last night which was third party, but he made it up to us with full replacement of warm delicious cookies and some extras! James has such a warm personality and loves the cookie experience and happy customers! A millions stars

Kuun is an absolute must-visit for the best Korean food in Downtown Brooklyn! Our dinner was amazing. We started with crispy mandu, delicious kimbap, and savory jeon. The main dishes were spectacular: perfectly grilled LA kalbi BBQ and a rich, comforting seafood tofu soup. Highly recommend this fantastic restaurant for its authentic flavors, cozy atmosphere, and great service!

Old-school watering hole with a 19th-century wood bar, low-key atmosphere, jukebox & pool table.
Loved this old time bar. It is said to be the oldest in Brooklyn. Loved the woodwork and even how it looks outside. It's located on a quiet tree lined street. The vibe is laid back. The prices are great. There is a pool table in the back. Alec, the bartender, was very nice. It's a neighborhood bar but the people are very welcoming. I will definitely be back.

Intimate, neighborhood spot offering artisanal espresso drinks & pastries in a chill atmosphere.
I discovered this place during my routine walk around Atlantic Ave. I was in the mood for a coffee during my walk and I also needed place where I can use the restroom. So I went in and it ended up being a place I truly appreciate. The coffee is good in my opinion and the seating area comes in handy when wanting to disconnect and concentrate. I definitely recommended this place! There is Wifi but you gotta ask the barista for the password.

Trendy cafe chain offering upscale coffee drinks & pastries, plus beans & brewing equipment.
I stopped by this Blue Bottle location after Café Volkan around the corner was too packed. This is a tiny little cafe that has a good atmosphere. Inside, there’s only three indoor bar tool seats, and not much room to stand while you wait for your order—but it works. If the weather is nice, then sitting outside is lovely and relaxed, which I did on a spring day, and was able to catch some shade under the little tree outside. This would definitely be a great spot to grab a coffee to go and walk

A robust craft beer menu & typical dishes offered in a cozy venue with brick walls & tin ceilings.
One of my favorite Brooklyn bars I hung out at during the week I was staying there! It's a great vibe inside - feels very cozy and like a lovely escape from the cold outside during the winter months. During the month of December, they had a lot of holiday themed decor up and all throughout the space, making it feel almost like a Holiday pop-up bar with how festive and extensive the decor was! We mostly came here for hanging with some drinks, so I haven't tried any of the food. There were some

Typically I base my reviews solely on black cold brew coffee so I’ll save that for the end. White noise is a spacious and welcoming cafe in a convenient location. Their food menu and drink menu cover the ideal cafe options and they provide a comfortable seating area for long stays. The egg and cheese sandwich was high quality and not the lower end eggs you might find elsewhere. For the cold brew : they have Kyoto cold brew which is my preferred style. This is the only current cafe in the area u

Food was delicious, portions are so generous! The chicken was practically overflowing from the chicken sandwich. The fries were super crunchy and well-seasoned. Food didn't take too long, and I loved how there's small packets of towelettes to clean your hands before & after eating. Over all, I would 100% go again!

Amazing experience!! We came here on mother's day and had a fantastic meal. We split the polpette, arancino and artichoke salad. Polpette were moist and never nice. Arancino were delicious and large. Artichoke was refreshing. We also had the agnolotti ossobuco, tagliatelle verdi, cavateloi and gnocchi. All were delicious and fresh and large portions! We ended with tiramisu. Would highly recommend!

Had high hopes for this place based on other reviews, however the BBQ chicken bowl ($12 after tax, before tip) was genuinely horrible. The sauce tastes worse than grocery-store bought, like not fresh at all and way too sweet/artificial. The whole bowl was drowning in it - it’s not like the chicken was marinated and cooked with the sauce, it’s just poured over everything. The other ingredients tasted fine/very “homemade” otherwise. As far as the service goes, my food was kindly brought to me in

It’s cozy, busy (especially on weekends) and perfect for people-watching from the dog-friendly outdoor tables. We grabbed a shady spot under the awning and watched the neighborhood stroll by. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. My human ordered the bagel with lox, avocado and all the works. There was a mix-

LOVEDDD IT! Took a few minutes till we got attended but it was so worth it. Sandwiches were on point with the plaintain chips, it was just delicious and crispy.

Cool dive bar. They have some good combo specials but even without that the prices are very good. The place is a good size. They have three pinball machines and a ping pong table. The bartender was nice. It is a very laid back atmosphere. I recommend stopping in for some 🍻 and drinks if you're in the neighborhood.

I really wanted steak. It was 10pm, everything was closing around us... then i found Wonder.

And the cupcake duo and banana pudding were a perfect surprise to bring home for my 5yr old who absolutely loved them.

Food was generally tasty although portions served varied. But the crazy thing is the lack of service. We counted 4 wait staff for a small restaurant and they were absent and disorganized. We ordered and then another waiter came and asked us for our order. They left us for long stretches, never asked us about our meal nor said anything as we walked by when we left. Just strange.

Staff hygiene fell short: soiled clothing, no hair covering, or unkempt nails.

I’ve been here twice so far. The interior is radiant with art & culture. The statues, tapestries and the decor is unique & colorful. The staff is kind and welcoming.

This tiny spot is tucked into the ground floor beside the entrance to the Ace Hotel, and is very popular almost every day. It takes a few minutes to get your food, but the staff are working hard and efficiently and the food itself is really good. You’ll pay a pretty penny for some options (like smoked salmon as an add-on being the same cost as a whole specialty bagel without it), but they’re using high end fresh ingredients so it’s not entirely surprising.

Me and my daughter are visiting from out of town and wanted to try some NYC pizza joints. Our opinion of this joint is OK. Our opinion is as follows, we both agreed that their is not enough cheese on the pizza, the sauce was a bit watered down for our liking and the 1st bite just seemed bland to us. This seems like a busy place. This is just our opinion as the pizza was not bad, but also not as good as we experienced. Nice little spot if you want to grab a quick bite and hospitality was great a

Grand Canyon Bistro is a gem. The food is fresh, the service is on point, and the vibe is relaxed with soft background music that makes you want to stay awhile. The bar is stocked and lit beautifully, giving the place a warm, inviting feel. Parking can be a little tight, but valet and a paid lot make it easy.

This has been my go to place for years. I have loved their smoothies but today I had an awful experience that needs mentioning.
