Always has some sort of wait. Especially for brunch! Coffee is decent. However - Worth a visit for the ricotta pancakes. Will order them every time for brunch and they hit every time. 5 stars just for them!

Went around 11 AM on a Saturday and didn't have to wait to get seated, which was great. Service was fast. The ricotta pancakes were soooo good, would definitely share them next time as they were very filling. Would come again for their lunch menu!

New favorite brunch spot, everything was ridiculously delicious!! This place is always packed so I never thought to try it but I'm so happy I finally did. They don't take reservations so you usually have to wait 25-30 mins but I promise it's worth it. Plus, there's tons of shops and it's next to McCarren park so killing time isn't really an issue. Service is a bit slow but servers are still very nice. Only complaint is the tables are very small and wonky and the sun beams on you if you sit outside but I'm sure it's much better inside 9.5/10

A cozy little cafe tucked into the heart of Williamsburg -- they have plenty of outdoor seating, where we opted to sit and enjoy nice weather. We just walked in on a Saturday morning and got seated immediately for a group of 3. The servers are helpful and food came out pretty quickly. I got the Sage Scramble and really loved the flavor, though I felt the egg was a smidge overcooked for my taste. Good vibes, solid brunch menu, I'd come back!

This is possibly the best brunch place I have ever been to. Every menu item was delicious--I ordered a side of scrambled eggs and truffle fries since I happened to be quite full, and I also tried their ricotta pancakes and Moroccan scramble. The presentation of all the dishes was beautiful. The truffle fries were chefs kiss. The scrambled eggs were exquisite--I tried to sub egg whites but they don't do that, and I don't usually like egg yolk but these were quite delicious. The ricotta pancakes were a bit fluffy but not too dense. The Moroccan scramble was also delightful--great combo of flavors and tasted very fresh and rejuvenating. Came on a Sunday, and they don't take brunch reservations. The wait was 45min, ended up taking around an hour to account for getting the table ready etc, but the time passed relatively quickly bc Mccarren park is nearby and the neighborhood in general is nice to walk around. Service was also solid, no complaints. The waitress was very attentive with our water level status, which is always a plus. Only downside is there's only one bathroom, so there was quite a wait. I will definitely be coming back here--every item was so yummy. This might be my new obsession.

Go ahead Yelp, make my morning. I do not sleep, I just constantly think about what my next meal will be. This was it. Ricotta Pancakes with strawberries, blueberries, and a side of chorizo and two over easy eggs. Baby I hear the blues are callin'... Uh what? Where did this review go? It went into hyperdrive with a helping of syrup and pulp orange juice. Ew. Nasty. Not the pancakes! Those were awesome. The fruit too. Actually everything was. Bom. Bom. Dancehall music plays. Greenpoint embraces. What a meal to eat. Oof.

Went around noon on a saturday and only had to wait under 30 mins. would recommend spending your wait time in the many thrift stores nearby! Ricotta pancakes - 4/5 the most popular dish from what i've seen and they were very delicious especially the butter on top. after a few too many bites i became a bit bored of it though. Black kale salad - 5/5 unexpectedly the star of the show. i rarely order salads at brunch places to be honest but this will encourage me to start doing so. the dressing on this was divine and had the right level of spice. highly recommend!

Came here for sunday brunch with my friend and was surprised at how short the wait was! Arrived at 11am and only waited 15min for 2 people. The restaurant was packed and there were a ton of parties waiting outside. But while we were eating, I never felt like they were rushing us so idk how to turn around tables so quickly. I ordered the ricotta pancakes and my friend got the norwegian salmon. The pancakes were nice and fluffy, and it wasn't too sweet yet had plenty of fresh fruit. They give an ungodly amount of butter though, I'm not sure who's eating all that and I usually joke that I'm paula deen when it comes to butter. My friend got the salmon which was good too but I think some fresh cut tomatoes or carrots or something would've helped balanced it more!
