Love this place! Perfect for outdoor eating. Great food with a light Middle Eastern bent. Quick service. Reasonable prices. Close to McGolrick Park. Nassau St is great for urban strolling in a vibrant neighborhood.

Recent addition to the neighborhood, the space is sleek and modern, tranquil backyard in white. They have large indoor space as well as outdoor courtyard. Variety of drink offers coffee, matcha, tea and soft drinks. I got the strawberry matcha and it was good, however like others say expect to pay for the space $12 strawberry matcha.

Super recommended if you really like coffee and you want a cozy place to read, work or just relax. You can choose your beans and the barista is really helpful with recommendations. 10/10

Tiny carry-out joint with a no-frills setup offering Chinese food, lunch specials & delivery.
The food is very good & made quickly. The staff is professional. And I've never had an issue with delivery either. But understand this place is no frills. None! It's strickly pick up or delivery. There are no tables & barely enough room for more then 2 or 3 people to order inside. But it is also one...maybe the only.. inexpensive places left in Greenpoint to eat. And I am thankful for that.

I’ve lived around the corner from the spot for a few years and have been several times. I want to support a local business, however, I don’t think I’ve ever had a good experience. I’m shocked they have a high rating because their icecream quality is so BAD - their hard icecream, soft serve and flurries, all taste low low quality every time. Its like a grainy taste. I hate the wooden flat spoons they use. The line is always so long and it moves so slow. A shop with only 2 employees inside should

Consistently the best cold brew in Brooklyn, ok in all of New York, actually in the entire country. Avo egg & cheese is so generous with the avocado, and eggs perfectly cooked every single time! no other egg sandos in the neighborhood can compare.

Listening bar serving up vinyl tracks on a vintage turntable plus burgers, beer & cocktails.
I usually will stop in anytime I pass this bar. They have good food & a good selection of drinks. The staff there are a lot of nice people & the music is always good/they have some of the finest vinyl DJs in New York. I definitely plan for it when they have a DJ I like there. Top items right now; watermelon juice, bratwurst & fries. Also the organic wines & signature beer!

Great new spot definitely worth checking out! The Bartenders Erica and Darragh were great and welcoming, the ham & cheese was toasted to perfection with gorgeous chipotle mayo, and the drinks were perfect. I will definitely be back 5*

Was getting my car repaired down the block and found this little food spot. It was the perfect little food spot with tasty food. At affordable prices. Service was great, staff were very attentive and friendly. Menu has a variety of breakfast, lunch and dinner items.

Great little spot! The coffee was fantastic, and the hospitality is on point. Had my coffee, and stayed back to chat with Eleanor and owner Adam — good chats like back home in Sydney. The decor is so cute too! Come support this cute little cafe. No need for laptops, just connect irl!

The proportions of this summer roll were disrespectful - it was almost entirely vermicelli noodles with literally one singular piece of lettuce and two shrimp cut in half (deceptive imo). I genuinely laughed when I saw the cross-section. Where are the rest of the veggies? Why were there only two shrimp per roll? A huge disappointment at $10 :( Will not be returning which is sad as I would’ve loved to try their banh mi.

It’s a cool place, but the bartender pretends like she doesn’t speak English. I put money in the jukebox, but it didn’t play anything. She pretended like she don’t know why, but then she played a song. Then she told me it worked. That’s convenient. This place will scam you

As a lover of fusion cuisine, I was very excited to try Kinoko as I moved into the neighborhood. The idea of Japanese Creole was insanely enticing. The starters were good, though we’ve had better versions of them somewhere else. The highly anticipated Gumbo Ramen was bland, slightly bitter, and the noodles were still stuck together. Pretty disappointed by this bowl. The Katsu had a hard / thick breading, though the cabbage salad was excellent. For dessert, we absolutely loved the Banana Pudding

The Esters is one of the best hidden gems in Greenpoint. The pizza in incredible, the crust is so light and fluffy and crispy on the edges and the toppings are all such high quality ingredients. They also have a seasonal sangria pitcher for $38 that is always fantastic (the current flavor is pear ginger for context)

This post is about sustainability! I love my neighborhood cafe, but especially because it offers real, reusable mugs to customer customers who ask for them. What an easy, logical, and waste-free way to enjoy a coffee. By 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. And over 95% of plastic that we send to recycling, does not actually get recycled. Rather, it ends up in landfills, incinerators, and in our waterways. I appreciate that you offer a sustainable option, and I hope that

We stopped by based on previous reviews and their online menu. However we were surprised to learn that they were only offering a very limited winter menu. My friend who is vegetarian had no options but French fries. The grilled chicken sandwich was fresh, no frills for a decent price. Although for 2 grilled chicken sandwiches and a side of fries, we waited for around 40 mins. There were 2-3 other parties at the time on the patio with us so not sure what the hold up was. Otherwise waiter was fri

I love to give good reviews and really wanted to like this place put I just couldn’t eat the steak so disappointed, I’m not sure why it tasted and also looked like sponge, so odd. They weren’t rude or anything but the meat quality just wasn’t there. Happy to try again and give an updated review if they want and it was a one off situation.

We’ve visited several times, making the trip from Manhattan to Greenpoint, and it’s always been worth it. Their coffee is excellent—rich, with subtle chocolate notes that really stand out. The pastry selection is both creative and delicious. Most items are based on croissant dough, but they take it in inventive directions. We’ve tried varieties with raisins, pistachios, and classic plain croissants, all of which were amazing. I haven’t yet tried their savory options, but they’re definitely on m

This is our second time here and had such a lovely time with great comfort Polish food! The first time was in the summer and we planned to come again which did for our holiday GreenPoint visit last night. Did not disappoint! Food is delicious, reasonable prices and service is welcoming and on point! Love the neighborhood vibe.

This place made my day. Cassidy, the bartender, is an absolute gem. The local regulars had me laughing for hours. Highly recommend stopping by one of the oldest bars in Greenpoint for a few beers if you’re in the neighborhood.

My favorite fine dining restaurant in NYC. Ive been to the shops outside of this restaurant but I never knew this restaurant existed. Its private, homey, and so welcoming. Our hostess was fantastic. She provided the best service I have ever received and her knowledge about food and alcohol pairings is so good. The food was fantastic. It was just the right amount and they combined french and japanese very well. This restaurant is also listed in the michelin guide as “hidden gem” and I couldnt ag

I was on my way to a work site and saw this before making a right. I still had time so I stopped to get some coffee. The lady behind the counter was very nice. She had a welcoming greeting. I was just going to get a latte but I saw they had a pretzel croissant with prosciutto and mozzarella with pesto spread. I also went from a basic latte to a banana latte upon her recommendation. It wasn't on the board so I was glad she offered it. The coffee was great! The pretzel sandwich invention they have

I hosted a 15-person birthday party at Lovebirds last weekend and have nothing but the absolute best to say. James, who coordinates events, made the communication leading up to the party as smooth as possible, and on the day of, everything could not have been more perfect. We did a large-party prix fixe, and my friends raved about the food. I was impressed at the quantities that the kitchen put out; sometimes, family style doesn’t have quite enough to go around, but that’s not at all an issue at

Huge fan- happy to see another korean spot open up! Ordered dolsot bibimbap and the stir fried pork - both were delicious and I’d eat again. The rice was so crispy for the dolsot and there were plenty of fresh veggies and ingredients. FYI there’s no bathroom.

La Merced is a tiny Brooklyn gem with HUGE flavor. Fresh juices, amazing coffee, and healthy food that somehow tastes like a treat. The vibe is warm, the owners put real love into everything, and you can taste it. If you live anywhere near here, you need to try this spot.

Great vibes and cozy atmosphere! Came here on a Saturday at 10 am and luckily there were lots of spots available. There is 1 hour limit on laptops, but not a big deal since my friend and I can also just chat. Love that they have a flower shop in the back and another time I came they had vendors so love the variety of events they have here. Today they had a DJ that played chill music and even though the place is small it all fit perfectly and didn't feel too crowded.

I’ve been buying smoothies from Juice Point since they’ve opened. Quality ingredients are used and the smoothies and bowls are made by a very kind team! They work incredibly hard and I’ll continue to support this great local business. Try the Kale Monster on a warm day, you won’t regret it!

I have had nothing but amazing experiences here. Such a great lunch spot. I've only ordered delivery, so I can't speak to their in person experience, but the food is always super fresh and delish and the prices are SOOOOOO much better than Sweetgreen or other competitors. Great vegetarian options as well which is a bonus for me!

My fiancé and I happened to come across La Contenta Greenpoint while in the area and were intrigued by their seafood-focused menu. We were in the mood to share a few small plates and try a little bit of everything, and overall it turned out to be a really enjoyable experience. We started with drinks — I ordered the frozen mango margarita ($17) and my fiancé had a Pacifico beer. I’ll say this right away: the margarita was actually worth the price. Most frozen margaritas tend to be overly sweet o

I hosted an engagement party here and all I can say is that it was an AMAZING experience. The space is so fun and funky and the drinks were stellar. Most importantly, the staff here is one of a kind. They were so sweet and helpful throughout the night and made the whole event truly effortless. Can’t recommend Lise and Vito enough! (Also their jello shots are a must try!)

Leah from Falu House was so kind to create a Danish strawberry tart for my post-PhD defense celebrations despite never having made the cake before. She tried out the recipe over the weekend and sent me pictures so I could see what it looked like, and the end result was absolutely stunning and super tasty. Lots of (non-Danish) people complimented the cakes and asked me where I'd gotten it from so it's safe to say it was a huge success! Thanks again Leah for being so helpful and accommodating!! :)

Hey friends! This review is about sustainability only. I really enjoy your coffee, staff, and atmosphere, but am sad to see so much casual pollution taking place in the span of someone’s meeting with a friend, remote work session, or lunch break.

And over 95% of the plastic that we produce and consume, does not actually get recycled, but ends up in incinerators, landfills, or our waterways. Not to mention, the micro plastics! Which le

Rounders is a very welcomed addition to the neighborhood. Easy going sports bar that has open windows for anyone who wants to people watch. It's good for game nights, and also has a backyard patio for those craving an indoor outdoor space. Outdoor space is sheltered from the elements so you won't get rained on, and it also has a giant tv. Indoors there is bar seating and some tables as well. Right now there's a small food menu (photos attached!) and they have a good selection of drinks. Glad t

I stumbled upon this GEM by having a doctors appt in the area and just needing a quick second to regroup, energize, sit and get my plan for the rest of the day! I’ve now been here almost an hour and I can’t wait to come back! The menu is incredible and huge!! My Dirty Chai latte is 🤯🥰🤯🥰 !! It’s right off the subway, great cozy/productive spaces AND have an outdoor space as well. Obsessed!! THANK YOU!!! 🙏🏻☕️🍪🧘🏻♂️

Salmon Benedict eggs were delicious !!! (And I might be a bit of a picky eater on this item ^^) perfect runny eggs, good salmon : not too fatty and not too salt, the salad brought a bit of sweetness and peppery taste while the bread gave a hint of sourness and bite to meal, great combo ! I gave four and not five stars cause at first the welcoming was cold (no greeting and waitress looked sightly annoyed) but turned out that our waitress was very nice and smiling so all in all the place was pleas

The bartender was miserable and rude. Made the our drinks incorrectly and then was incredibly confrontational and defensive when this was pointed out to her. Allowed strangers to dictate alcohol that was put in our drinks. i would absolutely be overly cautious with your beverage and watch her extra carefully. she is extremely sketchy.

Came here with my boyfriend for the first time for a relaxed date night after work. Beautiful decor and great natural wine selection, which they change out routinely so there’s always something new. Definitely recommend trying their flight of wines for a good tasting selection. They had a live dj rotation playing fun music from Jorja Smith to Bobby Caldwell.

Absolutely Delicious! I recently tried the cakes from Fusion Bites, and I was blown away! Each cake was incredibly moist, not dry at all, and had the perfect level of sweetness—not too overwhelming, just right. The fresh fruit toppings were an absolute delight; you could really taste the quality and freshness. I loved the unique flavors and the attention to detail in both taste and presentation. The matcha cake with delicate little flowers was as beautiful as it was delicious! The strawberry ca
