  I’ve been eating soup lots of places recently and they have the best. Even better it’s fairly priced. This place may be my neighborhood mvp. The service is friendly, they play good music, and the food is great. Highly recommend.

  The atmosphere is great but the service is lacking. Waiting forever for our food, sitting at the table with no water or utensils while the waitress was showing another waitress something on her phone. The scallion waffles came with wilted blueberries and bananas on top but little scallions. When I asked the waitress about it, she said I see the scallions, look and proceeded to point her finger into my plate. GROSS! I had to ask her, maam please get your finger out of my plate. I will not be returning, it was not worth it for a mediocre meal.There are so many options in Bklyn, I wish this cafe would do better.

  First and foremost, the food here is GREAT! Incredibly tasty and honestly the only grits I’ve ever had in NYC that were even remotely reminiscent of good southern grits. The matcha drink was great but the coffee was really watery and stale. Also, the service is a little wonky. We came in on a Saturday brunch service and were told that we’d need to wait for a table to open up. That was totally fine and we waited until we were finally sat, then our server asked our order. No less than two minutes later, before we received waters or anything, the server came back and said “hey folks, we have some reservations so we will need the table back as soon as possible. I hope you’ve had a great time!” When we said, “oh, we just ordered,” she was bewildered and had totally forgotten that she had just taken our order. Another few minutes later she came back and asked what our order was again. All in all, it was an incredibly strange experience and I’d be down to try it again, just be aware that you’ll have an adventure during busy brunch services!

  Every time I place an order for pickup with their app, my food is ready more than 15 minutes after the provided pickup time. Today for instance, I ordered three paninis at 1:06pm and received an email confirmation indicating that my order would be ready by 1:21pm. I showed up at 1:25pm and they had not started to work on my order. They eventually handed me my food at 1:47pm, which is not acceptable. It is probably the 3rd or 4th time I mentioned that timing issue and no change has been made to the app. Don’t bother to show up before calling to find out whether your food is ready.
