The BEC for breakfast was a bit dry, and the raw cacao just wasn't really my thing. small and cozy though, with a nice patio area.

B.E.C.

Very cute place that has inside & outside seating available! Not sure if it was just the one day I went but the AC was very low. Service was nice and attentive! I do find the cups weirdly shaped, but cute. The B.E.C. was so good! The brioche bread really tied it together, and just wish it was more bigger! My friend got some sort of bowl, but it looked nice and filling.

Pretty yummy spot for brunch in Brooklyn, with nice patio seating in the back. Even in the cold, too, because they have some heaters. Service was decent and the food was good. I got the M.E.C. (mushrooms, eggs, cheese), which was the perfect sandwich to start the day. I also got a hot vanilla latte with oat milk which was delicious, plus the mug was cute. Overall, a nice spot to check out if you're nearby!

I have been to both locations. This is a 10/10 place! Great for date night, great for going out by yourself and great for a friend's gathering. The staff is so attentive and have great recommendations. The food is also a 10/10 - think of being full but not feeling weighed down and lethargic after. This establishment should open more locations and more people should be going! Highly recommend!

Baba fries Whipped ricotta Olive oil chocolate mousse Holland oat Chilled red wine

We came after watching a movie at BAM across the street. Very convenient location and was open late after our movies finished ~8:30ish Since it was chosen for convenience, we weren't expecting everything to be so delicious! My drink, the Holland Oat, was such a great combination of different flavors--I loved it even though I'm usually not a fan of bourbon. The French fries were crispy, and the mayo was delicious. The ricotta and honey combination was also so good with their toast, which was crunchy on the outside but chewy in the inside. Ordered their olive oil chocolate mousse even though I normally don't like mousse that much because it was the only dessert on the menu, and it was amazing, with a great flavor profile. The bartender was super friendly, and it was awesome to listen to him explain his thoughts behind some of the cocktails. His passion for mixology was so fun. Not sure what it's like in the daytime as a cafe, but as a bar at night it's got super romantic ambiance with beautiful decor and little candles.

Brisket sandwich

Baba Cool in Williamsburg is a cozy all day cafe serving delicious and wholesome food at an affordable price point. We went for a leisurely Saturday brunch in their outdoor patio and began with a round of beverages, the rose lemonade and fort green fog which were both refreshing. For mains we ordered the carny breakfast sandwich, a bacon egg and cheese on brioche, and the brisket sandwich prepared with broccoli rabe and pickled Fresno. Baba cool is our new favorite brunch spot and we're excited to spend some more time in their sunny backyard oasis now that spring is upon us

Food is okay for the price but the service is sooo bad. We waited for a long time for the server to take our orders. I don't know if it's intentional but they kept ignoring our table/eye contact. We asked three different servers for water multiple times during our visit and finally got some after we already finished our food. It felt like we're begging for a simple cup of water. Having a hard time to get our check is another story. The only time our server smiled at us was when they showed us the tip option on the machine. There was not even that many guests at the cafe. They should just make the cafe self-service if they don't know how to serve people.

Brussels Sprouts

I forgot to take a picture of the chicken sando but I'm going to start with this. The service at this place is one of the best I've personally received in New York. The staff was so kind and helpful when seating us until the time we left. They made sure to always have our waters full and to make sure everything was good at our table. I'm very happy with the experience here and the Brussels sprouts were GAS. Hope this helps! Cheers!

Chai Latte
Jessica Y.

Great brunch spot! My friends and I came for brunch around 10:30am and were seated immediately. We all got the gabi's breakfast bowl and thoroughly enjoyed it (I wiped the plate clean)! My friend also had a chai tea that she enjoyed and it also came with a cute design! Overall we enjoyed our experience and food and look forward to coming back!

We came on the weekend with a reservation. We sat in the back patio which was spacious and many people had their dogs. It wasn't super crowded so we were able to pick our own seats which I appreciated as many of the tables were in the sun because the patio is not covered. We opted to sit near the fence for a bit of shade. My friend brought her dog and we were grateful for the spaciousness of the patio but since the dog is a puppy it would've been helpful if there were less leaves on the floor. There were also a lot of bugs. We ordered the asada bowl, the gabi, the baba fries, a matcha latte, and a coffee. The asada bowl and the gabi were very similar with the same white cheddar scrambled eggs avocado, and pretty raw salad. The only difference is the asada bowl came with brisket and the gabi bowl came with sweet potato and brussels sprouts. Every item in the bowls were delicious! The fries were very thin and crispy. My matcha was okay but nothing memorable. Overall, the food is good, the service is friendly and we were able to take our time. Next time I would probably opt to sit inside.

local Fort Greene dinner and drink spot

Popped in after a show at BAM and ended up doing full dinner in their backyard that we were very pleasantly surprised to find. We ordered the brussels sprouts, baba fries, and the "shrimps" plate to share...which were all insanely good. I didn't even realize they had cocktails/a drink menu so I got the Baba Martini (icy, olive-oil gin thing that actually works). Perfect spot in the neighborhood for dinner + drinks w/friends/fam/dates in Fort Greene, and the backyard was heated which was a plus now that it's getting colder!!

This is one of the best Italian spots in Park Slope, Brooklyn. As soon as you enter the restaurant,…read moreyou feel like you're in Italy. Everything on the menu looked amazing, so I had the waiter choose my dish/wine pairing and he did a great job! I got the pesto with shrimp. The pasta is handmade and the wine is natural from Italy. The pesto is made the day of in the morning. All fresh ingredients. They have indoor seating and then more seating in the back that is the perfect spot. I love the exposed brick wall. This might be my new favorite Italian spot. I will be back soon! Thank you for the amazing experience.

Instead of picking a wine from a menu, you tell your server the flavor and mood of wine you're looking for and they bring out glasses or a bottle for you based on that. The food here is delicious and I was happy to see gluten free pasta options. The pork ragu was good but I was truly impressed by how good the texture of the gluten free pasta was. For me, the show stopper was the branzino. It was seasoned perfectly and the potato crust was a fun touch. The salad was nice and simple, but didn't blow me away. Portion sizes were good, though the prices are on the higher side. The restaurant is a great place for a friends' night or date night, and I'd keep the group small or make a reservation in advanced because it gets busy. It is definitely a more expensive spot, but worth it!
