I'm so surprised by the low rating because I thought both the food and the Service were impeccable. Our waitress was so friendly, impatient, and even made a paper plate for my nephew by cutting up a takeout box. My favorites of the night was the butternut squash pasta, and the bone marrow. I thought the steak was also very solid and cooked to the requested temperature. I would definitely come back again read more

It was a cold day and we were walking through Williamsburg looking for a place to get a snack and a coffee. Cafe Colette looked cute and inviting. They only had seating in the porch in front which doesn't have central heat but the heat lamps kept us warm enough and the service was friendly. - chai latte - 5/5, delicious - latte - 4/5, only downgraded because it was strangely served in a water glass which did not keep the coffee warm on such a cold day - eggs and hash - 5/5, the waitress said their hash browns were unique and delicious and they sure were! think about a rectangular block of mashed potatoes deep fried so crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Very unique and yes very delicious! the bathrooms were super clean and nice and we had a peek around the back inside where there's a lovely little enclosed garden like area with seating where no one was being seated that day but I could imagine it being the perfect setting for a birthday brunch or girls afternoon treat. Lovely! read more

It's been a few years since I ate here (I remember it was good food but fairly basic) so this review is for drinks, service and ambience. It's a stylish spot with nice decor. We sat at the bar for drinks, service was a little chaotic but everyone was very nice and we weren't in a hurry so that was fine. They have a good selection of drinks that are reasonably priced for the area. Food prices were reasonable too. Will definitely pop back in for a drink sometime as the surroundings are so nice and it doesn't break the bank. read more

I came for brunch on friday and since I was by myself, I was seated right away. It was definitely packed so I'd recommend reservations on the weekend. Idk if it was just that day but service was very slow. They took awhile before getting my order (I had to flag someone down eventually) and they never checked on me during the meal. The food was good though. I enjoyed my french toast a lot. I wasn't a fan of the chai latte, it was very small and didn't have enough chai to milk ratio read more

Really cozy and nice vibe during the winter. You can sit by the window and people watch a little bit. The food and service are great. The capuchino i ordered came spilled though with my cup sitting in a puddle in the tray. The salmon salad was tasty and a good portion size. The pancakes were delicious. read more

This place embodies the very essence of what is wrong with Williamsburg, (bad) style over anything like substance (or service). It would be better if it was entirely unmanaged and the patrons served the food while the diffident, feckless staff considers their next few tattoos. I walked out. read more

TL:DR: go for the vibes, it's on a cute street. Get the hash browns, fish tacos, and pancakes. It's overpriced cuz Williamsburg Don't get the matcha- it was clumpy. Get it from matchaful down the street if you want first. Service- super friendly read more

DOUBLE CHECK YOUR BILL! I went here for brunch with a friend on March 14 and really enjoyed both the food and the ambiance. The atmosphere was great and everything we ordered tasted good. However, I was just reviewing my bank statement and noticed that I was charged $115 by this restaurant for brunch for two, which feels very off. I ordered eggs Benedict with salmon, my friend ordered French toast with a side of avocado. Two mimosas and one coffee. Based on the menu prices, the total should have been closer to around $60. I'm honestly quite disappointed and confused about how the bill ended up to 115 bucks. I'd really appreciate some clarification from the restaurant, as this doesn't seem right. read more

I really love the ambiance here . The place is really beautiful and the servers here are so attentive and kind . But my three stars is more geared towards the food . I got the fish and chips which was $27 bucks . Fine that sounds about right . But cutting into the fish there was no seasoning . No depth . Just a sprinkling of salt and pepper on the top . So I had to make it taste like something with hot sauce and Mayo and ketchup (being that I'm dairy free ) it's a cute place and my friend really enjoyed her burger . But I think personally I wouldn't be back . I would need more food options to venture into . But it's a beautiful place . The fries were so yummy but I just wasn't impressed with the meal at that price . read more

Really cute brunch spot. I wasn't feeling too hungry, so I got the half portion of the French Toast. I thought it was really neat that they offered a half portion, I've never seen that anywhere else! The French Toast was absolutely delicious. Everything from the texture to the maple syrup was great. I also got the hashbrowns, which I didn't realize came in block form. Never seen that before! They were pretty good, but because they were in block form, the insides didn't really have any seasoning. The seasoning on the outside was delicious, but once you got the potato part inside, it was kind of bland. read more

Try to make happy hour if you can since the fish tacos and rolls are on there! The drinks themselves were decent, cocktails about $5 off. Lasts til 7p, Colette rolls were amazing! Well buttered and could use potentially a little bit more sea salt sprinkled but so good. The fish taco was also good although a bit delayed in ordering, not sure why it came out about 30 minutes after I ordered when there weren't many tables. The mafalde and pesto was extremely good-I do think maybe addition of protein could have elevated. Nice to sit outside if weather is appropriate. read more

I had Cafe Colette three times now (sunset happy hour, brunch, and dinner) and it has been solid every time. I would recommend their French toast, cheese burger, mushroom bolognese, martini, and littlebird! FYI they're on Inkind and Blackbird read more

Super cute atmosphere! 2 of us went in without a reservation on a Friday night and were able to get seats at the bar. I ordered the Caesar salad and Brussels sprouts side. Both were delicious. I had a glass of red to go with dinner. Their wine menu wasn't too big but had good options. The bartender took good care of us. read more

Cute spot to grab lunch and drinks. We didn't have reservations but we were able to be seated with 15 mins on Labor Day. I love how airy and open inside feels even though it's a small spot. In terms of food I ordered the cheeseburger which wasn't bad but I didn't love however the French fries were really good. Overall I would come back for drinks and a small bites but not sure if I'd have this as a sole destination for eating. read more

My boyfriend found this place when he was searching for "best brunch places in Brooklyn" and this was 100% accurate! The service was fantastic and the food was out of this world. The vibes at Cafe Colette are immaculate and feel similar to a cafe in France, we sat in the garden room which is bright and perfect for any climate. Our group was so excited about all of the food options and could not decide what to order, but we were not disappointed with our decisions. Here is what we had: - Grilled Cheese (the three different cheeses made this dish! This is a must!) - Hamburger ( my friend said that the hamburger was cooked to perfection and the fries were out of this world) - Fried Eggs & Eggs and Hash (omg!! I tried the hash brown and it tasted like it was sent from heaven) The service was impeccable and made us feel at home, the food came out very quickly and the water glasses never ran dry. I highly recommend Cafe Colette and cannot wait to come back again soon! Thanks for a wonderful Brunch experience!! read more

A great place to stop for an afternoon glass of wine, which is what my sister and I did. We sat outside under the warm sun and were greeted promptly by our server. We needed something to nosh on with our glasses of wine so we ordered fries and 1/2 dz oysters. The fries were DELICIOUS. Shoestring style and perfectly crisp and salted just right. So simple but done so right. The oysters tasted fresh but I'm also no oyster connoisseur. Cafe Colette was a great way to kick off my vacay in Brooklyn. If the rest of the food is anything like their fries, this is a great place to try if you're in the neighborhood. The vibe is very casual but still feels fancy enough to have wine and oysters al fresco! read more

Cafe Colette - THE best crispiest French fries and 1/2 dz oysters on a beautiful Tuesday afternoon - New American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Welcome to 2026, where the service is slow and ignorant. Sat in a group of 7, wait wasn't terrible. We did not receive tap water for at least 45 minutes. After ordering an hour after we sat down, we then were informed that there was no sausage available 30 minutes post order. Overall, servers were nearly impossible to track down, the kitchen was slow and sporadic, and everything took far too long. Good thing the was good, rate an 8/10 for food. Disappointed but full. Not retuning. read more

This was an old standby for me but during an ownership change there were some growing pains. But they're back! Cocktails superb, burger one of my favorites in the city and the luscious bucatini with clams and lardons was everything. The setting was festive and cozy and service was generally spot on. One little hiccup with a second glass of wine which was promptly comped. Happy to put Collette back into rotation. read more

Good for a casual breakfast. Called ahead to walk in on a weekend morning before the brunch rush. The bar seats and remaining tables quickly filled up after we arrived. We ordered a chocolate scone, quiche, avocado toast and the eggs and hash. The hash browns were a favorite. I found the salad with the quiche a bit bitter for my taste otherwise super fresh. Was nice to have free refills on the drip coffee. read more

Such a cute restaurant! This hidden gem in Williamsburg is definitely worth a visit. The interior has a rustic vintage vibe and I enjoyed the photos on the walls. I did feel like the tables were a little too close together. I had to squeeze past people to sit down and you can clearly hear everyone's conversations. The French toast was SO good. Thick cut slices of bread that were the right amount of crispy on the outside, moist and flavorful on the inside. Not too sweet with a nice cinnamon flavor and the berries were fresh. The fried eggs & hash were ok. I was looking forward to trying the hash browns. I had never seen them made in that shape and I had heard good things. They weren't bad, but ours were a little over cooked. We saw the ones on other tables were much lighter in color. The staff was very kind. We might've stayed a little too long after finishing our meals, but they did not rush us out and they continued to check on us and refill our waters. Overall, I really enjoyed this place. Definitely a must try if you're in the area! read more

This is a go-to of mine when friends are in town for a nice brunch. It's a little tight, so I do recommend either going at off-peak times or making a reservation in advance - though I have only been on the weekend for brunch. The food and service is great, albeit sometimes slow to refill waters. I usually get the quiche, though they have now replaced it with a new menu item that is just as great. The French toast is lovely especially with the berries. It is very dense though so I recommend it either as a full meal or to share. The hashbrowns are my favorite of the bunch! read more

Came to the neighborhood for brunch and everywhere we went, it seemed packed. We didn't even bother to put out names down. We walked by this brunch place and saw a few tables outside getting cleaned up and asked about the wait time. There wasn't any, so we got seated outside immediately. I order the French toast with berries and it honestly was VERY filling. I only ended up eating once slice. I would recommend only getting one slice (it's cheaper but I see why that's an option now- because it's a lot). The berries were sweet and fresh. I would recommend this place for a nice weekend brunch. Very central to the waters, brewery, etc. read more

Cafe Collette is A Williamsburg gem, it's where you want to go for the most delicious fresh food and amazing atmosphere. We are regular customers and recently reserved the back room for a family event. The service was warm and efficient, the portions super generous, everyone raved at the end of the evening! We will definitely keep coming back. it always delivers. A unique restaurant, like no where else. read more

Fart rating /5 The food was bland really oily and dull (basically full fart) If this was the only breakfast place in 100 miles I'd prob be excited but this is Williamsburg BK come on!! It's our fault not Colette. We should have known when we were the only people sitting at the cafe 15min after opening. We should get a 1/5 for choosing this place. read more

Came here before with my friend and really enjoyed it. We came back today for his birthday and I went early to tell the employee working that it was my friends birthday and to please come out with a little chocolate cake so I can sing him happy birthday. It was supposed to be a surprise. We sat down outside and after we got our coffee we were ready to order and after about 35-40 min of waiting I went inside to ask that same server if we can order. Another person came out. She seemed to have a bit of an attitude and took our order. After we got our food and finished eating we weren't serviced again. Asked for the check and I'm expecting for my earlier request to be remembered. . . Nothing. Didn't love that. Didn't really love that I asked for something to be charged to have a nice surprise for my best friends birthday and that couldn't be accomplished. Service was slow, not a lot of people around the time we went (2:30pm) we left at 4:30 after slow service. Didn't want to continue our night there. Really let down. read more

Cafe Colette - Arugula Salad with salmon Oysters Cacio e Pepe pasta - New American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Server Saskia from Cafe Colette was amazingly attentive. Outdoor and indoor ambiance was great, especially the photography/art on the wall to the restrooms. I recommend you take your time enjoying each photograph and its story! The cap with almond milk was delish and so was the oat milk latte. Bonus both came with hearts via foam art! We got the Norwegian eggs, Benedict, salmon bowl, and French toast with berries to share. I believe the salmon bowl needed just a tad more dressing...however all was cooked to perfection and enjoyed thoroughly! I highly recommend the French Toast with fresh berries as an app or entree. Outdoor seating can be a little chilly in the Fall season so bundle up and soak up the vitamin D. Remember, the sun has a lot of healing properties and people/pet watch. I also love watching all the trendsetter's and their Williamsburg, Brooklyn flare. Cheers...to an amazing server and food! Don't miss the opportunity to check-out this spot and walk to Domino Park while there! read more

Cute brunch spot in Brooklyn! If you go on a hot day, the frozen coffee cocktail hit the spot and they let you choose what liquor you would like it with. The espresso martini was great too! I really enjoyed the Banh mi sandwich (huge portion too!) and my friends got the cheeseburger and fries which was also a hearty portion. They have both indoor and outdoor seating but I enjoyed sitting inside. Not far from domino park too if you wanted to go for a nice stroll afterwards to digest (we did :) ) read more

This place is a solid 3.5; not bad, not great. I ordered the fried chicken salad. The chicken had a nice coating, but the greens were too bitter and tasted off. The garlic dressing did not help. Plus side to the food is that all of their servings were pretty big, even at other tables with other menu items. Our waiter(s) kept stopping by my table several times within 1-3 minutes of each other. My date and I declined drinks, but two waiters asked several times each if we wanted them. It disturbed my conversation and was a little uncomfortable. The ambience is otherwise decent, but I think there's much better options in Williamsburg. I would not return read more
