Just around the corner from my home is Aunts et Uncles a Caribbean vegan restaurant and bar. It has now become a part of the community because the owners have been living in little Caribbean all their lives. You can't miss it, it has an outside and inside deck, it is surrounded by a bunch of plants, bookshelves, a selection of black Afro centric books that highlight our culture, you can also support the restaurant by purchasing their products you will see displayed there. They offer breakfast, lunch and dinner, you can enjoy an espresso/late, or one of their Caribbean fruit juices, my favourites are cucumber ginger, sorrel and mauby, they also have a selection of liquor and beer. My take out is the bake and Saltfish, French toast or lobster roll, for me the service is always great and the food has been delicious. read more

I've heard a lot about this place, always good, but unfortunately, I am always skeptical about plant-based food. I was finally convinced to go, and I can say I am mad I didn't go sooner. Soca Sangria - it says it's made for sharing because the glass is a little big but trust me, you should have this one by yourself. It's perfectly sweet and refreshing. The perfect drink for a warmer day. So Simple Chicken Sando - just a really solid and tasty sandwich. My friend noted that the mushroom used to be crispier and I cant lie that would've been nice texturally, but the flavor was A+ so I don't have much to complain about. Roasted Potatoes - solid roasted potatoes and make the perfect side. I asked for some pepper sauce. My mouth was tingling the entire meal. Karib Meatballs - are we sure this isn't real meat? So delicious and I have to say, the portion size is kind of small. We were tempted to order another plate of it but ended up opting for a sweet treat. The slaw accompanying it yummy too! read more

Walking into Aunts et Uncles feels like you're stepping into a little Caribbean oasis away from the hectic streets of Brooklyn right outside the front door. Food was amazing, lightweight but filling. I love what they have done with vegan food and including Caribbean flavors! As a fellow Lucian, the story of auntys peppa sauce was heartwarming, seeing Chairman's by the bar and also the family photos reminded me of my own family and gatherings. Service was great, the lattes and coffee were made to perfection and the waitress made sure they were to our liking. The decor is intentional and has the love of the diaspora throughout. I will definitely be back. Thank you for putting on for the culture! read more

Im a non vegan but I do like to try different vegan restaurants. Decided to pay this place a visit for dinner. Its a very small restaurant with limited seating. It reminds me of a place I would go to for lunch vs dinner. It does have a small bar with cocktails and wine. The servers were very friendly and helpful with suggesting what to have off of the menu. We ordered the loaded potatoes to share. Then we got the So Simple Chicken sandwich and the Lobster Roll. All were very good. The lobster roll tasted just like a lobster roll. I wish there was a little less mayo on there though. The pretzel bun hit the spot and now I would love for all of my lobster rolls to come on a pretzel bun. My friend enjoyed the chicken sandwich. We only wished the gouda was a little melted but the hot maple sauce was clutch! Loaded potatoes were excellent. Definitely a shareable. We didn't even put a dent in it and we took the rest home. Very good experience. The food was flavorful and innovative which is important for vegan cuisine. read more

There is something about this neighborhood that I love. The energy, the people, the mix of working class, upper class, families, students, elders, every nationality under the sun. This is the real New York. It is lively, grounded, and full of hardworking individuals who give the area its personality. What I appreciate most is that Flatbush actually has places to go. Some neighborhoods in this city have almost no social outlets, which makes the social scene feel like tumbleweeds rolling by. Here, there are establishments everywhere, and they give the community its rhythm and identity. I hope the rent stays manageable so all of these businesses can keep thriving, because they are essential to the neighborhood's growth and strength. Now, on to Aunts et Uncles. I had seen this spot all over social media and kept telling myself I needed to check it out. I ended up visiting twice during the summer, choosing times when the crowd would be light, and I was very glad I did. I did not make any reservations. The space is airy, artsy, and clean. It has that organic and modern feel without trying too hard. It is spacious, welcoming, and just a cool place to be. The clientele is friendly, down to earth, and cosmopolitan. The staff is awesome, very warm, and very genuine. On my second visit, I went for the mushroom burger because my first experience convinced me I had to return. The burger was delicious. The only thing that did not fully move me was the cheese, but that is on me. I am not vegan or vegetarian, although I eat vegan food from time to time. My taste buds are still trained on regular cheese. If you are vegan, you will probably rave about it. I am not holding that against the dish because everything else was excellent. My friend loved her food as well. We shared our plates and both walked away happy. At one point the staff came around with something freshly made that was not even on the menu yet. They offered a sample for two dollars. I said yes immediately, because who turns down a surprise treat in Brooklyn? And it was great. The overall design, the quality of the food, the selection, the atmosphere, and the staff all earn this place a solid five. The drinks behind the bar looked top tier, even though I did not order any that day. It is the kind of spot where you can go solo, bring a friend, bring a date, bring the family, or just chat with the staff or another patron. It has that comfortable, welcoming vibe that is rare. I highly recommend Aunts et Uncles. I am already looking forward to going back and exploring more of the menu. Honestly, I kind of wish I lived in that neighborhood. Peace. read more

Made reservations via resy as we wanted to be sure to get a table. Walked in and there were enough empty tables to choose from. We chose to sit on the couch. So comfortable. The vibe is so chill so laidback. Loved it. Service was great. Easy to understand the menu. I'm not vegan so I'm still finding my way but the food was very tasty. Ordered the Shirley temple. Delicious. Ordered Mac and cheese, chicken sandwich, loaded potatoes, smash burger. Everything and I mean everything was perfect. Highly recommend coming here. Bathroom on site neat and clean. Near all transportation. read more

Tight Quarters & Missed Expectations For a Friday evening date, my husband suggested we check out a Caribbean-inspired, vegan restaurant. I was curious--especially because I do appreciate veggie-forward meals--but the experience ended up being a bit of a mixed bag. Food: 3/5 We asked the server for recommendations and landed on a jerk chicken sandwich, plant-based lasagna, mac & cheese, and the standout of the night: the Crying Ryan--a peanut cauliflower dish that actually packed some flavor and texture. Unfortunately, the rest didn't quite hit. The lasagna leaned heavily on fake meat (which I personally don't love). I was hoping for something lentil-based or hearty and veggie-driven. The jerk sandwich was better--my husband enjoyed it--but the mac & cheese was a letdown: mushy noodles, overcooked, and a sauce that didn't hold up. The half ginger / half sorrel drink was so aggressively gingery I couldn't finish it--though my husband liked his Sangria well enough. All in all, for a $130 tab after tip, I expected more depth and balance in the food. Service & Vibe: 2/5 The vibe? Honestly kind of chaotic. - The space is super tight, and many of the tables are block-style or communal, so if you value elbow room--this isn't it. - The staff seemed really overwhelmed, dropping things, running around, and missing small service details. - And to top it off, people were still on laptops past 8 PM. The café-restaurant hybrid feel made it feel less like a Friday night date and more like we stumbled into a coworking session. All in all would I go back? Probably not. While I appreciate plant-forward menus and love Caribbean flavors, the execution felt scattered, the space was too cramped for comfort, and for the price, I'd rather head somewhere with better energy and consistency. read more

One of my new favorite places. Dropped in for a lunch date with a friend. Decided to order the lobster roll, loaded fries and soca sangria. The lobster roll was so flavorful and delicious, the roll perfectly toasted and crisp. Loaded fries were also packed with flavor, for the spicy lovers. And the soca sangria was fantastic. The young man that waited on us was a pleasure and the store was such a vibe and super clean. Will definitely be back! read more

I'd seen the kiosk in front of the Brooklyn Museum but never tried it. Will definitely go now! This place was really cute--loved the eclectic vibe. Only issue is that twice we tried to order something only to be told they were out of something, which was a bummer. But ultimately we were all happy with our food and drink. I had the Lovely Day salad and added the lobster mix, and it just might have been the most delicious salad ever. I loved every element, and the lobster mix really was reminiscent of a lobster roll. It was really filling, too! I couldn't finish the salad, but luckily my friend who had ordered the taco finished it for me. She liked the taco but didn't find it substantial enough. My other friend ordered and enjoyed the smash burger. The Sumtin'Nice cocktail was delicious and refreshing. Will definitely go back or order delivery again soon! read more

Amazing. Just amazing. So hard to find good vegan options and this place delivers with such variety and high quality. Pricey like all vegan spots but you get so much good food for your buck. Delicious coffee too! It's a small space but so hospitable. Staff was attentive and helpful. I'm not strictly vegan but I will be back to try everything! The lasagna was huge and I will be eating it for days ha. read more

This was a great choice for unique food. I tried the jerk jackfruit sandwich and the cryin' Ryan. The sandwich came on fluffy bread, and the jackfruit filling inside was in a tart and complex sauce. The greens made for a fresh addition to cut through the sandwich and added to the presentation. The cryin' Ryan was spicy and creamy from the peanut sauce. The meal was certainly expensive at a total of $45 after tax and tip, but I also think I over-ordered a bit. Choosing a smaller side would probably hit the right portion size and price point. It was well worth the trip. read more

During the summertime, we had an opportunity to visit the Little Caribbean neighborhood in Brooklyn. Here, we found this lovely spot, a plant-based, vegan friendly restaurant. We heard great thing about them, so we decided to try it out. We were there for a brunch, so we started off with Latte with Macadamia Milk. The coffee was really good, and macadamia milk provided nutty flavor, which was great. For food, we ordered So Simple Chicken Samich, and Cryin Ryan. I added a side of fries to the sandwich, on the menu said additional $3.50, but the actual charge was $4. The total came out to be $23, felt a bit pricy for sandwich and fries. The fries had maybe Cajun-type seasoning (?) with a kick, giving a flavorful spicy flavor. It was really good! The "chicken" or crispy oyster mushroom also had a little kick, juicy and delicious. The vegan cheese felt apart as I ate, not the best kind for a sandwich in my opinion for that reason. Messy to eat but so worth it! Cryin Ryan is made with Roasted Cauliflower, and we ordered the half. And the half was quite huge! The cauliflower had the perfect texture, and the top and outer edges became almost like a soft ground meat texture. It had a little sweetness mixed with a strong spicy flavor. It was delicious! We loved our food so much, we decided to push our luck with a dessert. We ordered Pudding Cake. On the menu, it said $14, but the actual charge was $15. Not sure the reason why the charge on some things are different from the listed price. The cake was warm and very moist, sweet without being too sweet. Whipped cream was more like white-colored sauce, without much flavor. Not the best dessert. Overall, we had a really nice brunch here. The staffs were super friendly and welcoming. The food was quite tasty. Again, the price point might be a bit higher on some items, but I say it was worth every penny. read more

Amazing food. I came here with my step dad for brunch & it was delicious. He is not vegan. Furthest thing from it actually lol but he loved his food. He had the smash burger and said he would definitely return to have it again. He really enjoyed it. I had the sweet waffles, sausage, and home fries. Very good. The waffles were really good and so was the sausage. Home fries were seasoned very well. The service was good also. Very intentive. Lastly, the decor is very nice. I like the sitting arrangement. I will definitely be back to visit. read more

Made a reservation for a weeknight and got dinner here before a show at Kings Theatre. Started with the Family Tais cocktail, then tried the mac and cheese, AU burger + fries, and so simple chicken samich. The fries were actually the best thing, followed by the AU burger. Chicken samich was also solid. The drink was tasty but not a must. Overall I didn't think the food was mindblowing (there are a lot of great vegan sandwiches in this city!) but it's definitely a great option in the area. Might be better for brunch? read more

A delight! Every time I visit. As a non-vegan, the food is so good! Flavorful and satiating. My favorites over the years are the Cryin Ryan Roasted Cauliflower and the (not) Chicken Sandwich. I love the vibe from the cafe staff and the owners are so gracious and accommodating. The drinks are also pretty good too. Good for an afternoon bite or a low key date night. Highly recommend. read more

They were packed when I arrived, but the young woman at the counter was wonderfully warm, helpful, and kind. I went with her recommendation the Lobster Roll and it was absolutely outstanding. I also tried a half-and-half of sorrel and cucumber-ginger juice, which was every bit as refreshing as it was delicious. The space itself is vibrant in both decor and energy. This spot is definitely on my must-visit list whenever I'm in Brooklyn, Loved it. read more

Brooking We Go Hard! Love going to places where locals thrive. By locals I mean NYC and the Caribbean Diaspora. I'll keep it short and sweet- I met the owners on a mid-afternoon brunch excursion. I believe this was around the time it just opened. I was met with sweetness and care. Food was delectable. The space itself is colorful and makes me want to relax around. I've been here several times over with my family and we all love it. Brooklyn staple for sure! I'll be back for more for sure! read more

I have come here many times and enjoyed there food specifically the bake and salt fish and there homemade sorrel. It's just a spot that you can come to to lounge, catch up with friends or grab something to eat with your s/o. It's kinda tight inside but still able to have an enjoyable time. Food: 4/5 I ordered the bake and salt fish which is always delicious in my opinion. It's very fulfilling and tasty as hearts or palm are used. Service: I was greeted and my order was placed. The staff was pleasant. Although it was a bit of a wait time for my food they did assist when I inquired about my wait. Ambiance: Artsy, minimal, and cozy. read more

This place was absolutely amazing! I came here while I was visiting a friend in Brooklyn and we wanted to try out this cute little shop. He lives down the street from there. The outside is definitely usually really cute, they have a place for sidewalk dining. The interior is just as fabulous! There is maybe seven tables, total, and the bar seating area that I did take the picture of. It's quite intimate and really small, but I think that adds to the overall vibe and café style of the establishment. The food itself was absolutely amazing!! I love a great vegan restaurant that doesn't overly try to convince you that it's "regular food". I think this place does a great job at just using natural ingredients and not try to re-create too many dishes. So it doesn't feel like your Eating "fake food". I loved every single thing that we had on the menu, the fishcakes, the French toast, the sausage, the eggs, the burger, the french fries, the drinks it was all amazing. And even though it was a little busy, it was pretty calm at first and then it picked up, the service was absolutely fantastic. I also really appreciated that they have a cute little shop section with some clothes, some knickknacks some books, things of that nature. I will definitely be coming back here. And it's black woman owned, come thru!!!!!! read more

When in the mood for All Green Everything, get yourself to Aunts et Uncles. This tiny vegan café is in the vibrant heart of Little Caribbean. I met some friends for dinner here and while the space is lovely in the daylight (I could see myself very inspired drinking coffee and eating breakfasty things, which they do have), once the sun set, they dimmed the lights and it was very intimate and moody. It's filled with plants and natural wood accents and even though it's small, there's decent seating inside and on the sidewalk café. The menu had a hell of a lot of enticing options, but once my eyes landed on All Green Everything, I was sold. It's a large bowl with okra, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, smothered in pesto. You may get it with rice, but I wasn't feeling it. I wish there were a protein option like tofu. Most of the proteins on the menu are Beyond Meats. I loved this bowl of goodness and if you're sharing, it would be a great idea to get this alongside one of the protein options. We started with Chicken Bites which I was really happy to see is not fake chicken but oyster mushrooms. The breading on them is incredible, so crispy. Next time I will absolutely be ordering the sandwich version of this because it is so so good. And I love their sangria. Be careful. It's potent. Service was also excellent. We loved our server and bartender. I'm glad I finally got to Aunts et Uncles and hope to return again very soon. read more

This is hands down my favorite place in all Brooklyn. That's it. That's the tweet. JK, I've decided to revise this review because the people need to understand why this Black-owned and plant-based community staple is phenomenal. Food: I've tried every single dish here and more than 5 of them are my favorites. I love that I can close my eyes while hovering my finger in circles over the menu and land on something I would be excited to eat. I also love when they add new things to the menu because it means they've tested / tweaked it many times and it will likely be just as delicious as the other dishes. Case in point: those hot maple "chicken" nuggets. Sheesh! Drinks: For drinks, my favorites have consistently been the Grass Roots and the Mikey Spice. Lately I find myself loving the Sunday's Best as well. Aside from their cocktails, big shout out to them serving mushroom coffee (ChagaChino) and for their in-house ginger cucumber juice. I'm thrilled that they've decided to bottle it because I could happily drink their ginger cucumber juice every day. Service: The service is the key to what locks Aunts et Uncles in as a community staple. I haven't noticed too many new staff members since this place opened and I think it's an example of how dedicated Mike and Nicole are to creating a space for family. The staff has always been welcoming, helpful, and kind and that energy is often shared by guests throughout the space when I'm there. It probably goes without saying at this point in my review but I love being at Aunts et Uncles from sun up to sun down because every time I visit, I feel at home. It is the perfect spot for anyone looking for a beautiful space that's overflowing with good drinks, great food, and palpable community vibes. read more

I wish i could give this zero stars. Told they were out of half their menu, then didn't get a drink for 50 minutes. 50 minutes to pour juice? No dishes came out of the kitchen for a while. Then when the food finally came, server forgot one of our party's dishes and for a full fifteen minutes while everyone's plates went cold. Then they did not say that gratuity was already included. What a scam for some seasoned vegetables and no apology. Cannot wait to see this place close down. Edit: This place will respond to any negative review and even provide false information to cover themselves. The funniest thing is that based off of the "cameras and time stamps," they are not even describing the correct table! Its really laughable at the level of incompetence. read more

An amazing and friendly black owned cafe in East Flatbush that maintains the vibe of the neighborhood. A must try. Ignore the fact that it's a vegan place, because what they make is delicious.

Waited 30minutes for two house burgers at their food truck. Went up and asked for a refund and was told that they were just about to start making my order. I had to wait five minutes to get my money back and even then it took three men trying to figure out how to do the refund. It was $40 for two burgers and one coconut water.
