    I think I found my new favorite NYC sandwich and it's OVERSTUFFED & AFFORDABLE. Friendly girl at the counter helped me choose from this huge menu Delicious bagels and sandwiches using real deal premium ingredients and stuffed to the brim. Get the Mott St special for sure. They have 2 locations in Brooklyn and one in Tribeca and I will be back for another one of the big boys The strawberry bagel on strawberry cream cheese was so delicious, a combo I've never had before somehow and all these years of bagel eating. Another must try item

    Lucky Luciano, rev and peanut butter jelly bagel
    Audrey R.

    Brooklyn Bread Cafe knows how to make a sandwich! I had the Lucky Luciano (because prosciutto makes everything better), The Rev (a spicy chicken cutlet situation that I'm still thinking about), and a peanut butter & jelly because sometimes you just need the classics. Everything was fresh, the portions were huge, and I left both full and extremely happy. I'll definitely be back soon--probably hungrier and with even less self-control.

    Overcooked egg with no bacon

    Stopped here to take our breakfast- bacon egg and cheese on roll. First of all egg was super overcooked (ohhh) and it was not enough bacon, like they been cheap with bacon, and cheese it's like where is it?..You can barely see it. For $8 guys you can do better. Big disappointment happened at our breakfast :( P.S bread was really good, but everything else bad

    This cafe had a very nice cozy feel to it. It has such an extensive menu. They had so many items. The staff's attentive service really adds to the charm of the place. We came here mainly for bagels and despite the variety, the bagels were lacking a bit, especially compared to the other local spots specializing in bagels. The do make up for that by providing some very creative style sandwiches. Price was pretty much normal for around the area. I would def come check them out in the summer when their outdoor seating is opened.

    I got the BUSHWHICK egg sandwhich, on a whole wheat wrap.

    The egg sandwiches are the best. I don't know how they make their eggs not only look so pretty but taste so good - never over cooked, never bland, always fire! My favorite breakfast spot when I have a little extra money to spend. it's totally worth it. They have yummy baked goods too. If you like your chocolate muffin, theirs is really good.

    Come and try the cappuccino it's best I ever had and I had many from different places but not like this

    Stay away from this place! They rob and cheat you! On two different occasions, we bought the lox. On both occasions we were shorted on the order. First time, I ordered a half a pound, when I got home it looked very light. After weighing it , the fish came in at less than a quarter pound. After several phone calls, I was able to get them to deliver the other half of my order. Unfortunately, we made the mistake of buying again today. We bought a pound, which was around $38. When we got home, it was weighed, and to no surprise it was well short of a pound. We will not be going back until they stop their shady practices. My advice would be to double check all your orders. I will also be putting all my neighbors on notice about this place. Ripping off customers is never cool and we will not accept this in the neighborhood

    Decent sandwich shop with acceptable prices and a variety of discounts available through their app or via GrubHub. If you want an Italian hero or a chicken parm, Brooklyn Bread can make it happen. I've tried getting breakfast delivered a couple of times, but my drivers got lost and the food took forever to arrive so these days I usually pick up my order in person. Yesterday I had a Gabagool sandwich for lunch; delicious, and very filling.

Definitely worth another trip. I got the Cajun club (w/o tomatoes) sandwich and the frozen margarita. Both were soooo good!

I chose this place because I had visited a few times in the past and expected a positive environment. While there, I ran into an old friend who was accompanying individuals with special needs. They informed us about the R&B karaoke event, and we attempted to participate respectfully and supportively. Unfortunately, after participating, the DJ became rude and dismissive. My friends decided not to continue because each time they attempted to request a song, the DJ was unkind and impatient, seemingly unaware--or unconcerned--that they were individuals with special needs. The situation escalated when I attempted to calmly address the disrespect. Instead of listening, the bartender repeatedly accused me of being drunk simply because I was defending myself after a rude comment. I was not intoxicated; I was advocating for respectful treatment. Even the DJ's own companion appeared visibly shocked by the comment made toward me, as if anticipating a reaction. I remained composed and professional despite being deeply upset. What disappointed me most was the staff's decision to defend the DJ's behavior rather than acknowledge how inappropriate and disrespectful the interaction was. This reflects poorly on how this establishment treats people--especially those who deserve patience, understanding, and dignity. I came expecting an enjoyable brunch experience and left feeling ashamed for having trusted this place. It is clear that the venue prioritizes protecting mediocre DJs with minimal local popularity over treating customers with basic respect. Poor organization, lack of proper event management, and unprofessional staff behavior made this experience unacceptable. I have visited many establishments and have never felt so disrespected. I will not be returning.

    TL;DR version- Some high highs and some very low lows. Hot Figs was a fun app. By a mile, the soups…read morewere the favorites, so I would recommend the Pepián or Caldo Tlalpeño Rojo. Nice happy hour and a large chocolate drink selection I was at this unique Guatemalan (ish) restaurant a while back with one of my groups. I said "ish" because the menu has dishes from all over, ranging from sandwiches to BBQ ribs to Guatemalan and Mexican soups. It's out there, and even though not everything works that well, it's fun, and if you can't find something you want to order here, you probably shouldn't go out to restaurants. There was also live jazz music that night, which was loud but nice to listen to. Since it was happy hour, a bunch of us got drinks. I went with a maracuya margarita, which was decent; someone else had a jalapeño margarita, someone had a beer, and someone had a mojito. There were a few nice hot sauces on the table, with the red one reminding me of salsa macha as it had a smoky kick and a spicier green sauce reminiscent of ají verde. They gave us some complimentary blue corn chips and a very mild black bean dip, which was tasty enough and hard to complain about, as it was free. From the appetizers, we got the Hot Figs for $15.95, consisting of honey goat cheese, corn tortilla chips, and plum + pumpkin seeds. This was a unique and fun blend and reminded me more of something you would find in a wine bar. The mix of sweet and salty, with a bit of crunch from the seeds, was nice. This was good, and I would recommend it for a table rather than for a solo diner. There was also The Zingy Salad for $21.95, featuring zucchini spirals, yuzu, tomato, onion, cilantro, pumpkin seeds, and a jalapeño infusion. $18.95. The salad was fine with a bit of crunch and a mild spiciness. It was fine, though a bit wet, for lack of a better word. The best dishes of the night were the soups, which each had its own distinct flavor profile. My sight presence went to the Pepián for $21.95, consisting of chicken, pumpkin/sesame seeds, green tomatillo, cinnamon, cumin, black pepper, carrots, chili coban/pasta/guaque, and potato + rice. There was plenty of tender chicken inside, with the soup having a nice roasted flavor with some spice and a bit of sourness. The potatoes and rice on the bottom added more sustenance to this dish. Almost equally delicious was the Caldo Tlalpeño Rojo for a dollar more with shredded chicken, tomato, black pepper, garlic, onions, peas, chickpeas, corn, achiote, chipotle, Monterey jack cheese, and crunchy blue corn tortilla chips. By comparison, this was a bit heartier, with the melted cheese and shredded tortilla chips inside, similar to soups found in Mexican cuisine. While I also liked the mix of veggies a bit more in this one, as it added a bit more texture, I still slightly preferred the flavor of the other soup, as I usually prefer a bit more spice. The rest of the food was fine. The TPC sandwich for $19.95 with chicken, peanut butter, coconut cream, ginger, cilantro, pickled carrots, and lime was fine. For the number of ingredients, I found it a bit sweet, likely from the cream and the peanut butter mix. The bread was nice, but it also fell apart. It came with a nice side salad with a good vinaigrette. The most expensive at $24.95 were the Slow Cooked BBQ Ribs, consisting of baby back ribs with rice and beans. The ribs were almost a bit too tender as they lacked any bite, which was nice, but the sauce was a bit too generic tasting, reminding me of Sweet Baby Ray's or something similar. The rice and beans were standard. This was also OK. Next came some dessert. There was first the $12.95 Rosemary Churros served with dulce de leche & chocolate dips. While I'm not sure if it worked, the rosemary did add a unique smell and a bit of flavor, and at least it wasn't generic. The churros themselves were hot, and the sauces were standard, with my preference being the dulce de leche. I also ordered a Champurrado for $7.95, which was fine. It wasn't as thick as I expected, though perhaps the style is a bit different than the champurrados I rarely buy from Mexican street carts. The chocolate flavor was very nice, though, and I like that it wasn't too sweet. Another person got a $4 Alfajor, which I got a bite of, which was standard. This place is a bit hard to rate. The two soups were wonderful, I liked the appetizers, and I found a couple of the other dishes just OK. Overall, it was a good meal, but I'm not craving to go back. This would be the perfect 3.5, but I'll round up as that doesn't exist.
