Passed this spot all the time and yesterday was my first time there... before I start I'm going to give this place another try! I had the SMOKED SALMON TOAST Cream cheese, red onion and capers (TRIED SOMETHING DIFFERENT) it was okay not bad but it's something I wouldn't order again.. the biscuits were amazing with the hot honey that'll probably be my go to! read more

When Saigon fell, and the last Huey took to the sky, drawing to an end the longest, bleakest, most shameful war in American history, it was the assumption of countless young men (Yours Truly included) that better days lay ahead back on the golden shores of the U.S. of A. Much like our fathers who fought, bled, and fell on the beaches of Normandy, we left as boys and returned as men. We had jumped, headfirst, into the maw of evil, hacking our way through thickets of iniquity in the hope of spreading that most precious of ideas: freedom. Had we succeeded? And if so, had it been Worth It? Anyone who was there knows the answers can't be found in a history book. They can be found in only two places: your children's eyes, and the Kingdom of Heaven. But we did our Duty. We answered The Call. We traipsed our way through dense jungle to meet and extinguish Evil, and by G-d we were thorough in our work. So when we returned, no longer doe-eyed schoolboys but men, hands rough and souls calloused, we carried with us certain entitlements. We knew the country would not be the same, not for us; even if it looked the same, smelled the same, it could only be facsimile. Still, even in this funhouse mirror of what we once called 'home' we expected a communal response befitting our ordeal. Reward commensurate to our Sacrifice. Yet when the barista at Brown Butter curtly made it known to me last Sunday that they were out of biscuits, and furthermore out of iced Chai, I could do nothing but shake my head in resignation. There I was playing a scene I'd played a million times before in banks, shopping malls, airports and furniture stores. Refused the basic comforts of civilian life time and again despite (or maybe on the basis of?) my service. I thought of the things I had done: the miles walked, the shots fired, prayers said, graves dug. It is sobering beyond words to know the ashes of an entire Vietnamese village are not worth one biscuit in this forgetful, ignorant country. So I sighed and found my inner Christian, said 'okay,' and asked for a bagel, surely my thousandth compromise in the last half-century. It was brought to me a short while later, and it was Stale. read more

Met a friend here for the location. We ended up have delicious biscuit breakfast sandwiches and drinks. The staff are friendly and the ambiance is just chill and regular/nice. It's a nice place. read more

Super disappointed! I was excited to get the biscuits based off past photos from. Yelp where they appeared to me made from scratch, I even ordered one extra on side just to get what appears to be Pillsbury biscuits. Look at my photos and the other ones and you'll see what I am referring to. I could ignore the wait time and me having to ask for a status update versus just being told it will take a little longer but I can not get pass this biscuit! read more

Bomb biscuits! Great prices and delicious food! I will warn you, this is not a work while you eat kinda cafe! I missed the signs and had two barista rushing over to me ready to slap my laptop shut! But no really all jokes aside this place is all about enjoying your food without any interruptions. And when the food is as good as it is, and the prices hit like they do! Ya can't blame them. read more

The food is excellent, always tastes fresh, great flavor. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming. The staff is very attentive. There is always a steady flow of people coming in and out which is a good sign that they are doing something right. read more

I ordered a carafe of mimosas to accompany the breakfast I ordered for my grandfather and I. The waitress gave me the carafe with no glasses. I asked for the glasses and she gave me small hot coffee cups I walked for the manager and she gave me these dinky ass water cups. read more

Brown Butter - I ordered mimosas... this is what they expect customers to drink them out of - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Placed an order through Seamless and my order ended up being pushed back twice and was finally delivered over an hour late. We spent almost $60 for the order, the cold "Belgian waffle" was missing the $3 fruit that was an additional charge with it, missing syrup.......!?And how do you only put powdered sugar on one corner? The biscuit sandwich was tiny and the sausage was also cold. Called the restaurant twice only for them to let it keep ringing. Luckily I was able to get a full refund back from Seamless because this was the worst experience I've ever had with a restaurant. Definitely won't try to go in person. read more

Brown Butter - Belgian Waffle - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I wanted to love this place. The hot honey tastes good but they give you such a small amount that it's a tease. I've had the jerk chicken sausage before and had it delivered. I thought it was bigger but when I went in person it looked very small and wasn't that great. The home fries were delicious (sweet potatoes and regular potatoes). Next time I'll try something else like a regular chicken biscuit. read more

I've been here quite a few times now and really enjoy the biscuits here. The biscuits aren't dry and everything I've eaten has been incredible. The only reason I don't give Brown Butter 5 stars is because every single time I've been here and ordered a cocktail or coffee there's been an issue. The first time, I came with a friend and we ordered the same thing. Her mimosa came out immediately while I had to a) keep reminding them about my order and then b) pretty much didn't get it until I was finished with my meal. The second and third time I came, the same thing happened where my Bellini or latte wasn't done until I was done eating. Not sure if only one person is allowed to make the cocktails or knows how to make lattes but yeah. All in all would recommend the spot, maybe call ahead if you're ever in a rush for a coffee . Also love the garden area, there's enough soft seating if you're alone or with a friend, and you can't bring laptops or work which I love. read more

When we first got there I checked the menu and knew this was a great breakfast spot. We chose a seat inside by the window and then was told by a waitress (not so nice) that it reserved for parties 4 or more. She pulled out a sign that was clearly moved by someone else. The place was pretty empty & we didn't see the big deal but she asked us to move so we slid over to the table next to us..... only for 2 women to come and sit at the same table 15 minutes later (in which the sign was on the table. They clearly chose to ignore it & the waitress didn't tell them to move) If the food wasn't so great, i probably wouldn't come back because that was a pretty sucky feeling, but i will commend the chef because our breakfast was delicious. read more

Brown Butter - Chicken and biscuit with gravy, eggs, potatoes - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Must get the Breakfast sandwich: bacon eggs and cheese. Biscuit buttery and flaky made to perfection. Waffles with fresh fruit and whip: light and fluffy Service was great & friendly. read more

Literally adequate, no more and no less. Cashier talks in negative decibels. Just find something less mid

The butter biscuit with scrambled egg! Highly recommended! A local favorite for us. Great for breakfast or lunch. The chicken and biscuit is a great "treat yo self" lunch option. read more

The biscuit sandwich was exactly what I was looking for. Soft biscuit sandwich comes with egg and you can choose your add ons. I chose to add cheese and tomato, it was very tasty. I also ordered a cappuccino and it was okay, but nothing special. You order at the counter and the food came out quickly. They have a a couple bistro sets outside to enjoy the weather while where we ate our food. I would come back! read more

I've been here twice and the service, as several others have mentioned in their reviews, leaves a lot to be desired. During my most recent visit, I placed my order online ahead of time, and unlike the time before, it was actually ready when I arrived, which was great. However, it took a while to get to the counter to collect my order. This was a Saturday morning and it was a little chaotic. There were a good number of people at the counter waiting for stay orders, to-go orders, and a ton of delivery folks. Customers were frustrated and the staff seemed stressed. They could definitely stand to add some sort of system or strategy to their queuing and pickup processes. Now the food and beverages... I really enjoyed their cold brew (which the menu mentions is from Cafe Grumpy's) with homemade caramel syrup. I also had tea the previous time that was pretty good. The biscuit sandwiches, on the other hand, just leave something to be desired. Having grown up in the midwest and south, it's unheard of to spend more than $5 on a biscuit sandwich. And a good $2-3 biscuit sammich can make your toes curl. That was the feeling I was hoping I'd get from Brown Butter. Now, I understand that these are more of the "artisanal" fare, so I don't mind paying more, but I do expect something memorable. Again, I want my toes to CURL upon first bite. I also expect that when I pay extra for toppings such as hot honey, that I actually get it (this time they forgot to add it, but still charged me). I've tried both the jerk SEC and a BEC. The biscuits themselves are tasty (when I go back I plan to just get a biscuit with butter and jelly and skip the meat and eggs), but the egg was flavorless both times (no salt and/or pepper), and the jerk sausage just wasn't giving me "jerk." Bacon was fine. read more

Brown Butter has to be a favorite neighborhood locale. It's the neighborhood cafe you think of when you see a movie set in New York City. The staff is warm... even on my not-so-great days I can hop in and grab a latte and feel so much better. The food is good. Especially the Breakfast Sandwich. Especially when you add bacon and avocado to the Breakfast Sandwich. I sometimes go hear to write or catch-up with friends. On the summer days, the backyard space is heavenly. The vibe is just right. I'm so happy it's in Brooklyn. read more

THE BEST BREAKFAST SANDWICH I'VE EVER HAD. You will wait a significantly long amount of time considering the simple menu (maybe because of widespread understaffing right now), but it's worth it for those *amazing* biscuits! I got the breakfast sandwich with egg, cheese, and bacon on a biscuit ($6), an espresso, and a little mimosa ($14) that was perfectly refreshing, after arriving in town after a long morning of travel, and was so grateful for such a delightful little breakfast. There isn't much seating, which was disappointing (and be careful not to accidentally sit on benches in front of the establishment next door, because they will be in your face about it in exactly 8 seconds). But this lil sandwich was SO AMAZING that I ordered online for pickup (definitely recommend because of the wait time) the next morning! Annnnnd might do that again today as well! :) read more

The food here is very good I will say that - I've often enjoyed their jerk sausage egg and cheese biscuits. Because the restaurant is relatively local I've often come with friends and family for a cute little quick bite. However I will not be back due to the horrible service. It actually takes a lot for me to write a poor review especially for a Black business but this was so upsetting particularly as I've been a regular customer. A few weeks back I stopped by for an egg, cheese and jerk sausage biscuit and matcha to do some work around 2pm. Because it was a weekday and after the lunch rush there was a lull with maybe only 4 customers in the restaurant including me. As I waited for my food (and after having to remind the staff that I ordered the matcha as they had not made it nor did they apologize or regard the long wait) I took out my laptop to work. One of the young ladies on staff told me the policy of not using the space to work due to limited seating. That policy makes sense during peak hours especially the weekend when the restaurant is packed. But this was a quiet weekday in a relatively deserted restaurant. I even said as much mentioning the fact that there was no one waiting for seating and that there was copious space. That didn't matter. This policy needs to be updated and the staff could use a little more finesse when dealing with customers. I will not be back which is a damn shame because this was a local fave but the treatment I received after patiently waiting and trying to get some work done was shabby and it felt like I wasted my time and money. read more

This place is great. It has seating inside and outside and their is a back garden as well. Biscuits are great. Also had the avocado toast which is on a flatbread. It's kind of sweet but I enjoyed it. Ryan who took my order was very helpful and pleasant. Great person on your staff. My new go to spot to add to my list read more

This place is rly good, It was definitely worth the wait. due to Covid finding workers is rough so I understand. I was disappointed they didn't have the jerk chicken sausage. I ordered the Haitian coca, blueberry almond bread and a turkey sausage with egg biscuit with hot honey and jam. Very delicious please check this place out. read more

1 star because every time I order, whether it's through GrubHub or DoorDash, they *always* forget the jam and hot honey that i pay extra for.. even if I add a note about it. I called a few weeks ago right after I ordered, politely asking them to remember to add the hot honey and jam. The staff response was: (no joke), "who are you?!" As others have mentioned, the staff is rude, and the service needs improvement. If not for that, I'd have given them 5 stars. Their bacon egg & cheese biscuit and their chai lattes are IT. read more

We had hoped to come for breakfast and coffee but unfortunately, when we arrived, they were out of eggs and most of their meat. Granted it was a Sunday and we arrived around 2pm, so this was understandable but sad nonetheless. I ended up getting an iced latte with oat milk and their signature toffee brown butter syrup. I thought I was taking a gamble with the syrup because I don't like my coffee sweet but it ended up being the perfect flavor! Not too sweet but still noticeable enough to give a nice taste. My suggestion would be that if you're planning on getting food, arrive earlier rather than later in the day. read more

The iced mocha was 5/5 The breakfast sandwich with the jerk chicken sausage tasted good, but I was definitely disappointed with the size as a result of how much it cost Could have gotten a similar sandwich- though admittedly not as good -at McDonalds for A LOT less 2.75/5 The customer service was 5/5 read more

My daughters love biscuits and we checked out this place after a morning at the Brooklyn children's museum. We ordered biscuit with jam and butter and chicken with waffles. Then we ordered another biscuit with jam and butter, I tried the BLT with spicy Mayo DELICIOUS. This will be our local play for a quick bite! However, I feel staff should be trained a little better to make the environment friendlier versus here's your order This place with some adjustments like more menus display, lines for orders and pickups should be more efficient and organized read more

Nice little place. Good atmosphere.The salmon biscuit is absolutely delicious 10/10 , the chicken biscuit 9/10. I'll definitely be back

I have ordered Uber Eats delivery twice now and both times they send plain biscuits - no honey or jam as ordered. Isn't this what you're known for? Seems simple enough. read more

I love biscuits and they do it SO right. The gravy was so delicious and more than enough to rub the biscuit in. The roasted potatoes are also seasoned. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy inside. The pastries are lovely. I will travel between boroughs just for the biscuits and pastries alone. The humans who work there are the loveliest people I have spoke to all day! I'll be back! I swear!!! read more

I picked up breakfast here one morning while waiting for my sister's hair appointment. I had the jerk sausage sandwich and my sister and husband both had the bacon egg and cheese. All were unbelievably delicious. I've been wanting to go back ever since, but unfortunately their hours have changed, so they don't work with our schedules. We did make it over one Sunday about an hour before they closed, but they were out of a lot of stuff. I hope the hours change is temporary so we can enjoy this place again soon. read more

When I say I love love brown butter- I really mean it! My favorite sandwich is the crabby biscuit and top it off with a nice vanilla latte. Both of the owners are nice and approachable as well. Sadly, I can't say the same for one of their staff, Airiden. I've always noticed that she was a bit edgy but today topped it off. I mistakenly placed an order for Monday (a day that they're closed). This morning, I received a text message receipt stating: customer pick up at 9am. When I arrived, Airiden did not greet me and bluntly said "did you not get my text message?" I responded yes, I'm picking up. She said no you was refunded. I replied no, problem and asked to reorder my meal - which she proceeded to do. However, when Airiden passed me my coffee, I asked to have a coffee stix to avoid spilling my coffee as I walked. Airiden responded, no and lifted up a tub of stixs, stating that she have to save those for her deliveries. I found this to be ridiculous, and simply asked again. Airiden proceeded to pass one while looking annoyed and frustrated. I asked Airiden had I done something to offend her? She responded, "I just have not had my coffee yet." I am highly offended by Airiden's behavior this morning. To the point that I am not sure if I'll be spending my money at this beautiful Black Owned establishment within my neighborhood. Customer service goes a long way and with staff like Airiden, it could only hurt business. read more

Service here is really poor, it's order and come get your meal. The staff could care less. Sat at the back and it was close to garbage. Inside didn't have room. read more

Lemme preface this by saying, I am no foodie and I am very discerning about my dining experiences. In a city where we have the best of the best and the worst of the worst, this place falls somewhere just above the worst if not in that category. But NOT for the food. Which was kool. The cook probably deserves to be somewhere else where he can hone and improve his craft, the food was not bad. All I came in for was brunch with my girlfriend. Simple ask. When I called and asked if they did brunch til 5 the person I spoke to said, no, their kitchen closes at 4:30 and the restaurant closes at 5p. It was 3:45. We made it at 4:10ish. We ordered soon thereafter. A couple came in after us. They Ordered and sat and there a few folks spattered throughout the restaurant. All of this is context people. Lemme speed things up. We ordered at the bar. A table opened up. I asked to sit at the table. Unbeknownst to me it's next to the trashcans the bar uses. Ok. No biggie. I love eating brunch next to the trash can. The smells can be enchanting. And. Can't be read more

The biscuits are so soft and fresh and warm and melt in your mouth. Love it! I get both the BEC or BEC w/ lettuce and tomato

I ordered the Egg BLT and a side of roasted potatoes for delivery. My expectations were low because most often a breakfast sandwich delivered is usually mediocre at best and roasted potatoes are usually bland in taste and cold. After getting the wordle game correct on the first try, I should have known better and leaned into my good fortune and raise my expectations! The biscuit egg blt was phenomenal! And I've never had roasted potatoes quite as flavor. You don't even need a side of ketchup to spruce the spuds up! I'll definitely be ordering here again and this time in person because if this was this good via delivery, I can only imagine how good it will be in real time. read more

Cute lil spot... I came for the first time, tried to order some food & the cashier told me "oh the kitchen is closed" super nonchalantly as if i was supposed to know that the kitchen closes at a certain time ... so I only ordered coffee. Vanilla latte with almond milk ($5.63) before tax. Coffee was regular, nothing to write home about. I come back a second time and ordered me a lil breakfast sandwich & coffee once again. The waiter bought out my sandwich and once I opened it I realized it wasn't what I ordered. He mixed up the orders, he was apologetic & said they would make it over. The sandwich itself is small lasted about 4 bites.. not satisfying. If u looking for a sausage egg n cheese just go to ya local corner store! May come back & try something else, or not. read more

Each bit gets better I swear! Everything was perfect & came out pretty fast. I got the potatoes, turkey sausage and the waffles. My friend got the biscuit sandwich and it tastes like they put something in the biscuit to make it extra savory. Definitely a great place if you're craving flavor read more

Great grab and go breakfast. Just place your order at counter and seat yourself if you are dining in. We visited on a Sunday morning. The biscuits are EVERYTHING! I tried the BLT w/ avocado. The bacon was a little too crispy for me. I also had the jam and butter biscuit and I had to catch my breathe after the first bite. I can't tell you what's in that Jam but it gave me a rush! My hubby had the chicken n waffle. Chicken was so so, but he said the waffle was the best he ever had. He is picky about he waffles. We will be back when we are in Brooklyn or we'll order from UBER or Grub as there were non stop drivers coming in for pick ups. read more

This place is starting to disappoint. Lets face it, we are half way through 2024 and this place is still doing the whole "No Wifi, No laptops" thing! This neighborhood thrives off people having a place outside of their apt to have coffee, a small bite and be on your laptop. Outside of that, the service is lacking. I visited today and Carmelisa (name on my receipt) is completely spaced out. She doesn't greet customers who are standing right in front of her nor does she or pay attention. I ordered bacon, eggs and cheese on a biscuit and she asked if i wanted to add cheese. Really?! So it's giving.....Tell me you're not paying attention without telling me you're not paying attention. I really want to keep supporting black owned businesses, especially since this one is owned by a Black woman with other businesses in the neighborhood, but we need to do better. Lastly, they need to pay attention to the Door Dash orders because they charge $.50 extra for hot honey but they dont put it in the bag!! Its giving scam. The food is good, so hopefully on my next visit or Door Dash order things will be better!!! read more

I'd come back for the vibe (and free WiFi) but probably not to eat. I was super excited to get some work done on my day off at this new cafe, but the food was overly salted and I couldn't even use my laptop at a proper table. I got eggs with potatoes and bacon... the eggs were way too salty and the potatoes were just lackluster. If I come back it would probably just be for the free WiFi and work environment. read more

Brown Butter - Eggs, potatoes and bacon - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I fully support black businesses that have their act together. They do the whole cafe thing right. Great matcha. And they have a multitude of delicious looking pastries. Most are not vegan but they have vegan donuts that I plan to try next time. I know tomato jam is the latest "thing" but imma ask for them to leave it off my avocado toast next time....unless they make a smokier more tart jam (using smoked paprika, smoked salt and lemon zest) That I'll try. The home fries (aka a vegans fallback) were superb. They mix white and sweet potatoes. I can usually do without the sweet potatoes but they seasoned this dish to perfection so I didn't notice them that much. I would like to see more vegan options on this small menu but that's just me being vocal. The service was nice and I was able to get work done with fast WIFI speed. My neighborhood rocks!! read more
