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.
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
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.
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
I got the eggs and hash, it was pretty average but still kind of pricey. The frozen coffee was good though!
Café Colette is such a gem. They have a great oyster special during the week that's definitely worth it, and the staff was super friendly and welcoming. The vibe is cozy and stylish, which makes it a perfect spot to unwind after work or catch up with friends.
Trash Browns....... Bahn voyage What you order is not what you get. I ordered eggs and hash. If you are paying $18 for "eggs and hash" there should be hash. There were 4.5 uncut baby potatoes. Just say what you are serving. We also ordered a Bahn mi, and asked if it came on French bread, the response was yes it comes on a baguette. It came on a sandwich bun. More lies. I would have said this to our server but we were not asked or checked on once the food came. For the price point I would go somewhere else
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 .
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.
Loved the staff and service here! Cute little lunch spot great coffee and loved the arugula salad with chicken. Light refreshing as my mom and I keep walking the area. Def try it out!
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.
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.
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!!
Stopped in the Colette for a weekend brunch - overall the food was good, albeit a bit flavorless with the exception of the hasbrown sticks, which were delicious. That being said, the coffee was delightful and all the staff were exceptionally kind and the ambiance is very enjoyable! read more
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

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
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

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
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

Decided on this cute brunch spot last minute. This was probably one of the only few spots that didn't have a wait time. I had a surprisingly good-aged burger with yummy fries. Everything was fresh and perfectly cooked. The service was pretty good. Would definitely recommend it. 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

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
