    Jersey Boy (sausage, egg, and cheese)
    Katy C.

    I honestly don't frequent this area of downtown that much but had some spare time before a class recently so I stopped in to Brooklyn Bodega for a light bite. The menu includes breakfast items and sandwiches/wraps made to order. This is pretty much a takeout only spot, they have a few stools and a bar rail but I'd recommend taking your food to go. I ordered the Jersey Boy (sausage, egg, and cheese) on an asiago bagel as I had heard their bagels were really good. I am honestly not the world's biggest bagel fan, especially when it comes to breakfast sandwiches, but I really liked this bagel sandwich. The bagel was cheesy flavored and soft to bite. The egg was so fluffy and steaming hot, yet not overcooked at all. A classic breakfast staple, so well done. I'd love to come back for a sub for lunch. They are only open til 3 most days so be sure to add it to your list of lunch spots.

    Bagel breakfast sandwich (build your own)

    First of all, the owner was so kind and friendly. I was happy to patron this place because of the welcoming environment, the tips and tricks for building a delicious bagel sandwich that hit the spot before work. For $10 I got a Asiago bagel with egg, cheese, onion and tomato with some cream cheese. It hit the spot. Service was quick. They have a cash discount. I appreciate the friendly environment and can do attitude. I hope this place is successful!

    So good I had to double back. I got the bacon egg and cheese on a garlic bagel. The food was fresh, the bagel was one of the best I've had in the city. Upon arrival I was met with a genuine greeting. Will definitely be coming returning !

    third visit and 10/10 recommend the chopped cheese, but you really can't go wrong with anything you order.

    I got there right when it opened and honestly it took them a while to get me my bagel but it was definitely worth it. I ordered the Jersey Boy on an Asiago bagel, added the jalapeño cream cheese.. it was amazing. I will have to go back and get that again!

    Great addition to the corner of Jefferson and Fulton! The owners instantly greeted me and walked me through their menu and made some suggestions. I opted for the Jersey Boy breakfast sandwich which is sausage, egg, and cheese on any bagel I pick, so I went with an everything bagel. The owner mentioned I could make it a combo to include a drink and potatoes, which I did! Everything was made fresh right in front of me and within 5min, I was walking out with a delicious breakfast. The portions were large/fair for the price and they had a ton of drinks to pick from. I wish they had some juice options for breakfast but I still found something I liked. I'm excited to have another option nearby and to try some of their other options. They sell their breakfast menu all day as well! Give these guys a shot.

    I am a bread girl and I LOVED the bread on this sub! It was perfectly toasted on the inside and soft and fluffy on the outside. The portion was huge as you can see in this photo, I was so full from just half of this sub but couldn't resist and ate the whole thing. The service was quick and friendly. I'll definitely be back to try some more items!

    The Brooklyn Boy
    Yianni M.

    Was in town over the weekend djing a wedding. Some friends of mine from New York who were also in town came to eat lunch and mannnnn the food was so great. I ordered the Brooklyn Boy sandwich (ham egg + cheese) and I got it on a honey oat bagel. We also split the chopped cheese, which, I was thinking about all day. Got to meet the owner and his super nice family who made the sandwiches. I had to drive back on Sunday and was sad that I couldn't get a chopped cheese to go on the way back to Chicago. I'm posting this on a Tuesday and I'm still thinking about the Chopped Cheese from Saturday. It's only a three hour drive, I might just drive back up for the day to get a couple. Please go support this black owned small business. I promise it's worth it.

    Bagel with sausage, egg and cheese on the top bagel!

    These are some of the best bagels I've ever had. They were fluffy, crunchy and not too thick to overwhelm the rest of the sandwich. My husband and I got a sausage, egg and cheese sandwiches that hit the spot and were somehow juicy for breakfast sandwich? I don't know how they did it but so yummy, would recommend!!

    We love breakfast sandwiches and there are not a ton of places with unique and super delicious ones in town. The downtown location is tough for us to get to unfortunately but we finally made it for take out on a Sunday morning. Everything was ready on time. I had a breakfast sandwich with bacon, egg, and cheese. It was so good! The bagel was awesome and it was cheesey and gooey. The potatoes were also excellent. I hope to make it down here more often!

    We grabbed some bagel sandwiches for breakfast. Both were very underwhelming. I was surprised at the skimpy portion for $9.

I adore crab so ordering that was a no brainer. Their coffee is strong. It took a ton of cream to change the color... though it was delicious with free refills for $5. The omelette was heaven. All the flavors melded well and I appreciated the crisp acidic salad to cut the richness of the omelette. My only critique is wishing the crab salad topping was a bit more decadent. For $21 I was hoping for big lumps of crab rather than cool shredded mayo based salad. All in all, I love this place, I love the concept. It was quite busy and was thankful to snag a seat at the bar. The service was friendly and quick. Best hipster establishment I've patronized in a long time. Make a reservation if you have a group or pray there is a seat at the bar.

My boyfriend and I stumbled in during happy hour and were happy to grab some cheap drinks, but the main event was the burger! We typically like sitting at the bar as well and chat with the bartender who was absolutely lovely! The dirty martini was okay but I will definitely order something else next time as the olives just didn't hit for me. It's a quaint and quiet spot - you can read that as intimate - since it's not loud or rowdy, so if you want a really sweet date spot, feel free to check this one out! Otherwise, you can just go and have a casual, delicious dinner. Parking is limited with the street parking and it being so close to Monroe Center but you shouldn't have a terrible time finding something, even if requires a parking ramp vs street parking. I'd just recommend a reservation if you are going on a weekend or don't want to wait/sit at the bar!

One had shrimp and grits she loved her meal- grits were course ground. I had the veggie omelette and subbed Brussels sprouts for potatoes and they were amazing. I would highly recommend trying this combo! All in all food is good but the service was slow and not very efficient- honestly the service was bad enough to rate a three but I loved those dang Brussels sprouts with my omelette!
