Came here for brunch on a Saturday and sat outdoors. They have a beautiful courtyard but it's not for the weak in a hot day. We got the whipped ricotta to share which was AMAZING! So light and flavor ful and I loved the fennel and honey combination. The bread they give with it is also really really good. My main however was just ok. I got the vegetarian breakfast sandwich and found it to be bland and soggy. Overall, really cute place for brunch in the area!

Best breakfast in greenpoint. I dream of the asada bowl. Staff is so lovely and attentive. Highly recommend 10/10

Michael was our waiter and wow he was incredible!! We tried many of the dishes and they were all 10/10!! Great food, even better service!

Came here for the first time for lunch this week and will definitely be back! A cute, relaxed cafe with super fresh, delicious and healthy (well at least healthy-ish, ha) menu. I had the Gabi bowl, which had perfectly soft scrambled eggs, a perfect half avocado, roasted Brussels and butternut squash -- pretty much perfect lunch. The Ft Greene Fog tea latte was yummy as well.

I am already looking forward to the next time(s) I am in the neighborhood to visit my daughter. I had the brisket sandwich with fries, my kids had the vegetarian breakfast sandwich, and carny breakfast sandwich, all of which were very delicious. Great ambiance, too! I am definitely going to make a reservation next time and request garden seating when I bring my husband.

Came here for brunch on a Sunday, and sat in the covered patio. The area is heated and really cute, super nice on a sunny day. We got the Asada Bowl and Whipped Ricotta, both of which were excellent. The Asada Bowl was our favorite, would definitely recommend. The only thing is that while super friendly, the service was a bit slow, so I wouldn't come here if time might be an issue. Otherwise I would definitely recommend and return here!

I came here for the New Year's Eve pre fix dinner. It was $62 a person (tax/tip not included). I found out this was the first time they had ever done this. They sold out completely and all 74 spots were booked. The restaurant is not that big but I loved the ambiance. It was super warm and cozy with the lighting. There's a single stall bathroom in the back. My friend and I were seated at the bar. It was kinda cold to be sitting right by the door but what can you do? Food - Brussel sprouts - this was so good. Not too crunchy/crispy. - whipped ricotta - the ricotta was TO DIE for. It was so light and we definitely could have had more bread to finish it all. - salad - mine did not have cashews because I have a nut allergy! We were sent an email/text a couple days early to confirm what 3 mains we wanted: - crispy chicken: this was my least favorite of the mains. It came with 2 pieces of chicken and had roasted vegetables. I liked the sauce and roasted vegetables it came with. The chicken wasn't dry - to my surprise but didn't have much of a flavor. - Drunken Gabi Noodles: the BEST THING I ate all night. - Bar Salmon: I was looking forward to this dish the most because I love salmon. It was good but I loved the noodles more! The cauliflower puree was to die for though. - Olive Oil Chocolate Mousse: this was so good. The salt at the bottom/end was such a nice touch. Shoutout to the amazing staff for all their hard work. They were cranking out dishes all night. Again, this was their first time doing something like this and I think they did a good job. The timing was off though. My friend and I received dishes much later than some other tables. And then there were times when we would finish a dish and another table would receive the same dish. The dinner was scheduled 7-9 pm. We didn't revive our first dish until 7:30 and we left at 9:30. However we asked to pay early and got our desserts to go. Shoutout to Gabi for doing that for us!!! The bartender was making drinks non stop the entire night.

Food was (really) good. Kind of pricey tho for its serving size. Carrots were good but overpriced in my opinion. The Whipped Ricotta was actually really really good. It's worth the price. The bread it came with was also good if not burnt. (Asked for another order of it but it was kind of burnt which wasn't as enjoyable as the first order) & Salmon could've been bigger in size given the price but to be fair, the salmon was cooked very well! Crispy skin, soft and juicy fish meat nicely salted too. The beans that came with the salmon was GREAT I loved it lol Ambiance was cute but not enjoyable during the evening because the lighting was really bad. I could barely see my food. The lamps they provided did little to no help to provide light. I actually ate something bitter towards the end of my meal when I scooped out some whipped ricotta on to my bread. My suspicion is that maybe a bug flew right in and got stuck somewhere but since the lighting was horrible, I couldn't really see. So anyway, that part wasn't enjoyable. Ample lighting would've helped. Service was ok- good. Nothing great. Just being honest. They were nice but maybe understaffed? Not sure. But I'm saying this cause I felt like I had to follow up stuff. Overall 7/ 10 could've been better if the outdoor area had better lighting, and if portions were just a little bit kind of bigger for its price :) but the food in terms of taste alone is good, 10/10 imo. Simple but good. But maybe go during the day not the evenings to appreciate everything better in general

Became my city-dwelling friend's new favorite brunch/lunch spot! Can't go wrong with anything on their menu. Nothing too crazy, but interesting feel-good food~ We got their: Fort Greene Fog $5.25 - subtle lavender, earl grey, vanilla flavors Chai $5.25 - regular chai, nothing too crazy... menu mentioned cinnamon sticks, so was looking forward to it, but it had none :( Asada Bowl $18.50 - safe choice; nothing too crazy Jerk Chicken Sandwich $18 - no spicy kick you'd expect from jerk chicken... veryyyy subtle banana -- glad it doesn't overpower the sandwich; it's a unique mix to jerk chicken! The only downside was the heat blasting down on our faces in the extra seatings in the back... Out waitress kept forgetting to turn it down, haha... But she was super nice otherwise!
