Always bring friends from out of town here! Love their brunch menu and can we talk about their hash browns ‍ out of this world! French toast is heavenly as well. Great place to catch up with friends and have a nice drink! read more

Cute place. I went during breakfast/brunch time and their menu was very limited :(( food is a little pricey but I guess you're paying for the vibes. Everything was tidy and cute, I had fun talking with my friends while waiting :)) sitting near the big windows in the morning!! Ahh it was great. Our waiter was very patient with us and checked in three times :)) I felt bad because I was being indecisive and got distracted talking instead of picking our foods read more

I went here for brunch recently, and the food was outstanding. The eggs, hashbrowns, and even the toast were really, really good. The drinks were excellent as well. Great staff too! I'll definitely be going back soon. read more

Caesar salad so good with chicken, unsure why rating is low for this place! Even when busy the salad came very quick. Ambiance is a vibe, there is a bar inside seating and outdoor. read more

After being asked to wait over an hour for a table our group of 5 was seated and then told the kitchen had just closed. No solutions were offered. read more

Food is Flavorless. Got the fish tacos they had no taste. My fam got the quiche and avocado toast both almost inedible. Would not recommend.

I had a really nice brunch here today. Cute spot especially if you can snag a table for two outside. Nice people watching. Prices are a bit high for not a lot of food, but everything was tasty. I had the salmon bowl and it was cooked perfectly and had nice flavor and a crispy outside. My friend had the poached egg and it was pretty tiny. Also had an iced cold brew latte--for $6 I wouldn't order it again. Not bad, but way overpriced. read more

Too bad I hit this place right before closing. However I still got myself a solid drink and a number of recommendations in the area form the awesome bartender. They bump a lot of old hip hop, it's dimly lit, and not too crowded on a late middle of the week day. After being on a plane for a while and having some rushed meals because of a delay, the booze mellowed me out: KINGS COUNTY rye whiskey, fernet branca, green chartreuse, orange bitters Solid first drink for my first night in Brooklyn in a while. Dig the retro wooden refrigerator and all the old style design elements the owners put in . Definitely coming back when I swing into town next and just have a chill time. read more

Had a very yummy dinner here with some friends! I had the mahi-mahi tacos and they were delish, my friend had the vegetable sandwich and she really enjoyed it too. The fries were so yummy and crispy, to die for!! The staff was so pleasant and our waiter even brought us over a complimentary tasting of a drink on the menu. Very sweet and good prices! The sangria was also very good, recommend highly! read more

Cafe Colette - Outdoor area - New American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This place is so cute and has great food and drinks! The staff is so friendly and accommodating. The waiter told us how all drinks are made in house and freshly made and squeezed everyday- he gave us a sample of the watermelon margarita and it was to die for! Definitely getting that next time! We got the sangria for the table and it was so good and came in the cutest display. I got the ahi Tuna tacos and they were delicious- although be prepared because they are spicy! The veggie sandwich also looked and tasted so good! I am 100% coming back here not only for the food but for the service and ambiance as well! read more

Awesome vibes and great food meets an easy to grab a weekend brunch table. Always recommend cafe Colette as a solid and reliable casual spot. read more

Came here for brunch over the weekend, and luckily we didn't have to wait. My fiance and I had the Breakfast Sandwich and Cast Iron French Toast. Both dishes were tasty, but the portions were small. The sandwich was delicious, but the sausage was way too small. My fiance and I typically like fluffy French Toast, but this one was drenched in pear juices--even though it was soaked, it wasn't soggy, and we both ended up liking it. Service was good. The staff was friendly and the food came out pretty fast. Overall, the food was good but slightly overpriced. I wouldn't mind trying out other dishes at this restaurant the next time I'm in NY. read more

Everything about this place is heinous, particularly the staff and service. The wait staff is blatantly rude and clearly never worked in the service industry before. You have to flag down your waiter to put in any form of an order, remind them 3x then hopefully you'll be served. We ordered oysters as an appetizer that never came so we tried to cancel them. They arrived mid entree and we said at this point we don't want to pay for an appetizer that never came, so we'd only take them if they were on the house, otherwise no thank you. She said it was okay and it was on them for the mix up. But they still came on the bill, and the manager was difficult as hell - "You got them eventually and ate them so I don't see the problem" This place is a f*cking joke and the food is mid-tier at best. You are in NYC, literally throw a stone any direction and you'll find at least 5 restaurants with better food and service at an appropriate price. read more

Walked in this morning to grab a quick breakfast rude host / waiter greeted with " how can I help you ?" Lol what happened to "Welcome are you looking for a table ?" At least 4 tables outside were empty and over 10 tables empty in doors I responded by I would like to sit for breakfast Oh give me a few minutes other ppl are waiting (no one was waiting lol I was standing at the entrance solo I have been there before and recall not great service so time for a review I guess :) read more

Came here for brunch/ breakfast while visiting NY. Staff was super welcoming. Sat at the bar and Ariel "AB"was our server, not only can he make a mean drink but he gives you fantastic suggestions on menu items to pick out. I wouldn't be able to begin with the food because honestly there was not one thing we tried that we did not like. The pancakes, the orange juice is FRESH they literally squeeze the oranges in front of you!! The French toast was fantastic, the avocado toast and the fries were mouth watering. I would go back to NY just for this place. While visiting we went to a lot of "fancy" restaurants but to be completely honest the day we ate at cafe Colette was out best meal. I highly recommend! And when you go ask for Ariel! read more

Pros: cozy outdoor seating with friendly staff and attentive service. From the outside this place is super cute and we were seated right away. Another plus: they have great coffee and almond milk! Don't know why some restaurants still don't have milk alternatives but this place had it all. Cons: the only con was also the main reason we go to a restaurant... the food. I ordered the egg sandwich with sausage (hold the cheese). It was $15 so I thought it would come with some salad or fries or some other side that completed the sandwich. It came out on a plate. Lonely. With no sausage. So I asked for the sausage I ordered and when it came back it came back with sausage sans aioli sauce. I thought it was funny but I asked our server to see if they can put the aioli back. Long story short, after it all I took a bite of the plain egg sandwich and it was as plain as you see in the picture. For $15 I just wanted some flavor. Unfortunately it just wasn't there. I'd go back for coffee read more

Hands down best burger in Williamsburg. I eat a lot of burgers and the guys cooking actually take pride in their work. People that work here are really nice. Good management and after all these years still looks very inviting inside. People in this neighborhood looking for food should definitely give it a try. And quit complaining about prices. Does anyone realize how expensive it is to own a place for you to come and complain. Have a heart and be nice. read more

Brunch was great. Service, food and atmosphere. A fab neighborhood spot. We ate salmon salad, fish tacos and French toast (as dessert).

Put my partner and I in a booth. Moved us for "a larger party." Another couple gets seated next to us in said booth. They have an appetizer and drink and leave. We get a "sorry, that's awkward" and not even a fizzy water comped on a full meal & drinks. Not cool guys. read more

Extremely excellent pasta dishes perfected with a bit of creativity from an artist female chef- macadamia nits and pork! Wow! And the "carbonara" is so Wow! And the desserts- just eat! All worth it! Tres leches and dark chocolate cream! read more

This was a trainwreck. 1. We show up and there's empty tables outside, I ask for a table for two and she says she'll seat us in about 10 minutes if we wait at the bar. That's fine; we order a drink and are chatting when a notice after 10 minutes a couple walks in and is seated at a table that was just cleared. I walk up to the hostess and ask her if there are any tables outside for us. She says if we want an outside table, we can be seated immediately. Wait, wut? Like straight up what the fuck is that? 2. I'm seated outside and 12 minutes pass before our waiter comes, I clock the time because I had to be somewhere after dinner. The waiter only comes because I flag down a busboy. No apology, no acknowledgement. In the time I finally got the menu, I could've figured out their POS system, placed an order, and run a retention marketing campaign to previous diners. 3. We order the Watermelon Salad ($13), Maine Crab Tagliatelle ($32), and Grilled Broccolini ($8). The Maine Crab Tagliatelle was so overpoweringly salty. Yes, you cook the the pasta in water seasoned like the sea but the sauce itself shouldn't taste like it came out of the Dead Sea. 4. We never saw our waiter again. He never came back to check on us. I left a $2 tip on a $56 bill. When Democrats argue for a living wage, Republicans will hold Cafe Collette up as a case study for a place that doesn't deserve it. read more

Cafe Colette - The food was pretty at least. The pasta would give you cardiac arrest with how much salt in it. - New American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Walked by this place and the outdoor dining was packed, so my mom and I decided to try it for brunch on a Saturday. We sat inside (very socially distanced and good air flow!), very cute interior. The staff was very friendly which is a winner in my book. Small menu but good vegan options, we were both satisfied and had leftovers to take home! Will be back! read more

The food wasn't seasoned! My bf and I ate outside and our server talked to us once to get our order, never again after that. Like I said the food was bland and I needed salt and pepper and I had to get up and ask the server for it, because no one had come to our table for 20 min since we got our food; and when I went inside to ask for it, the other people that worked there were just talking. I'm a server myself, so I would've understood if the restaurant was super busy and no one came to us for a while but that wasn't the case. That's really disappointing for the price of the food. I only gave 2 stars to the environment because the place is cute and everyone was friendly for the most part, but the service wasn't good and the food had no seasoning whatsoever. read more

Passed by with a friend and had some brunch. We sat at a corner both with a round table. I ordered the poached eggs with faro. Pretty hearty and ate pretty quickly. My friend ordered the breakfast sandwich and didn't expect to have it on a bun. We were imagining toast. The restaurant has a garden area but unfortunately it was "reserved". My friend's latte looked lovely but I was saving coffee for later and didn't get to try. It's a cute place to go with friends or on a date. read more

Mediocre food and awful, slow service. There are much better places to try in williamsburg. It was an adorable space but very compact, making it difficult to comfortably sit, depending on your table. There are also a mix of chairs and stools, which are very uncomfortable. If you're in the neighborhood and just want a cup of coffee (they carry partners) and a scone (if they have any left), then snag a stool at the bar. read more

Amazing bad service; like, have you ever were sat down, brought waters, then no one checks on you for 40min, only to be told the kitchen closed 15min ago?! Place looks great and we probably got the bad side of the weeded Saturday, but they obviously lost control in communication during service and let others suffer for it. Never seen no one checking in so many tables as the GM (I guess) insist on proving the guests in the wrong (one of three other tables in the same section who had same complains) read more

Nice classy neighborhood restaurant. Upscale, but not too fancy--I felt comfortable in jeans and a casual shirt. I haven't tried their brunch, but I had the most wonderful dinner here the other night. Ordered the bagna cauda broccolini, the Colette rolls, and the soft shell crab to share. All were very good, but the broccolini was the sleeper hit. Fantastic espresso martini too. The service was great. Will definitely be back! read more

I was here last week , and the staff and service was great. They were very accommodating and honestly we were kind of a pain we switched our location from outside to inside a few times , having been in the hospitality industry a long time , I fully admit we were not the best guests. The staff was super nice an accommodating. The food was great as well , I recommend the fish tacos I really enjoyed them. read more

Ventured over to Cafe Colette to celebrate my friend's birthday over brunch. It was my first time there and the vibes were excellent. The food was scrumptious, and the staff was gracious. They event treated us to a giant slice of birthday cake! Looking forward to dining here again. read more

Coffee delicious & French Toast delicious and big enough to feed two. Enjoy! Service great & and timely.

My family and I found this spot online and decided to pop in for brunch. It was pretty busy but we were willing to wait for a table. We waited for 45 mins for our table which we didn't mind, the server took our drink order then never returned to the table. We eventually flagged down a manager and let her know we were ready to order our food after sitting at the table for 20 mins. She then explained that their kitchen was closed and they had last call for food already even though we were seated 10 mins before the brunch menu closed and we asked the server as soon as we were seated if we could still order from the brunch menu and he confirmed that we could. The manger was rude and offered no solution even when the server admitted he messed up. We were basically told sorry you're SOL, great customer service approach guys! Never going back! read more

This place is so overrated and overpriced. Not worth it. The steak was so fatty and chewy, I sent it back and the second one was even worse. I just wanted to get out of there so I ended up taking it home and throwing it out because it was gross and inedible. Waste of money. There are so many better places to eat in the neighborhood, don't waste your time/money here. read more

One of my favorite places to dine for the last 2 years! However, despite previously dinning indoors during the pandemic, we were recently turned away at the door to curbside dinning due to not yet being vaccinated. Which we respect. Only to then observe the entire time spent there, the very person who denied access to dine indoors running across the street kissing, hugging and taking photos with what appeared to be many friends passing by with no masks at all while his mask completely down, then returning to the front of the building then hugging any and every staff member passing by. Seemed a bit odd to watch and uncomfortable considering how serious the business is taking precautions and ourselves. Disappointed to say the least. read more

This place is mid at best. Got an avocado toast to go. For $19 the portion was pretty small. It wasn't well seasoned and the bread was soggy :( read more

Cafe Colette is possibly my number one discovery in Williamsburg. The first thing I noticed was how beautifully the daylight fell through the windows with shutters. The interior is super pretty and they played exactly my kind of music. The huge palm leaves in the vases give the place a slightly exotic touch. In short: a perfect setting to relax. We went to Cafe Colette for cocktails and boy oh boy, they are so good. During happy hour you get them for 7 dollars instead of 14. Not a bad deal at all! We had our first cocktail inside and then moved outside for our second one. The service is good and friendly. Overall it was the perfect afternoon moment and a place that I recommend to all cocktail lovers. read more

This place is cute, the staff is very kind (they helped us stowaway our luggage as we ate since we were headed back to the airport afterwards). But really 5 stars for probably the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. STILL thinking about that sandwich 48 hours later..... read more

Good ambiance, terrible service. Food is decent, burger with shoe string fries and crispy chicken salad were decent. Asked for drinks, which never came, asked for a side which also never came. Wouldn't recommend it if service is something you care for. read more
