Run here! The food is immaculate. I've been craving that lasagna ever since. Literally I cannot eat…read moreanother lasagna without thinking about this one. Soooo delicious. And the Cryin Ryan caught me by surprise . It had a nice spicy kick to it. Very hearty and filling. Service was cool. There was only one person working who was running the bar, the register and the tables so while I wouldn't expect multiple check-ins ...the owners were walking around greeting tables. They were friendly and inviting. The vibe is really relaxed. Very chill . As far as logistics . Street parking . It's Brooklyn so hit or miss depending on day/time. While we did make a reservation, idk how much it mattered. The seating is very relaxed.

Aunts et Uncles: Vegan food that doesn't need a disclaimer…read more Baby, that loaded baked potato?! One of the best things I've eaten at a vegan restaurant. Period. A strong 9.5/10, and I don't hand those out casually. The peanut butter cauliflower was a close second--absolutely delicious, just a little pricey for the portion. The lasagna was a solid 8/10. Flavorful and hefty despite its lighter ingredients. Unless you're skipping appetizers, prepare for leftovers. Fair warning: it's saucy and doesn't travel particularly well. I also noticed an aftertaste I couldn't quite identify, but nothing that ruined the dish. The mac and cheese? A 6/10 for me. The flavor fell flat, though my dinner companions thought it was decent for vegan food. They also loved their burger and the gorgeous steak-style sandwich with chimichurri and avocado. The sandwich looked delicious, but the portion didn't quite justify the price for me. Now, the sorrel cocktail? A 9/10. Easily. What would make it a 10? A bit more alcohol. I couldn't really taste any. It gave mocktail. My girls did enjoy their wine, though! Service was very warm and friendly, although the packed crowd meant extended waits once we placed our orders. The space is beautiful, cozy, and elevated, but cramped in many areas. Between counter ordering and table service, expect people moving around you. Some patrons could use a gentle reminder that their behinds are not a complimentary side dish. The aesthetics are beautiful, the bathroom was cute and clean, and there's a small outdoor patio out front. They even had a DJ bringing block-party energy during our visit! I could easily see myself returning for breakfast, brunch, or a little café workday. What I love most, though, is the community-centered spirit and how the owners' partnership and love story are woven into the space. My final word: I judge vegan food by the same standards as everything else. No participation trophies just because it's plant-based. My ultimate test? Would I order it again, and would I return to the restaurant? Aunts et Uncles didn't need a vegan consolation prize or watered-down standards. Some dishes could use tweaking, and the portions don't always match the prices, but the standouts absolutely hold their own against non-vegan food. I'm already plotting my return. That loaded potato and I have unfinished business.

She was really nice and very patient as we tried to figure out what we wanted. Whenever I don't drink, my service dips but this one stayed consistent which I lied.

I ordered an avocado bagel on seven grain. It was all delicious. There was lettuce and cucumber that was not listed on the menu, but that's ok.

The setup is a little different from a full-service restaurant. You order at the counter, let the staff know if you're dining in or getting your order to go. If dining in, then find a table and wait for your name to be called. If you're seated farther away, they'll usually bring your food to you. For drinks, it's best to stay near the baristas towards the front of the store since those are typically called out separately. I ordered the Madeline omelette without the jalapeños. It was good overall but it could have used a little more salt. I also tried the matcha latte (which tasted a bit too milky) and I had to add extra sweetener, so I'd probably try a different drink next time. The pastries, especially the apple strudel and Boston cream donut, were both really good. Highly recommend the apple strudel.

To hell with this place. Been ordering bagels here consistently for awhile, called today because I thought I had gotten less cream cheese than I ordered the past few times. The "owner" or whoever she was was DISGUSTINGLY RUDE on the phone and immediately started telling me how wrong I was. I said, ease up with the attitude, a simple explanation would be fine. Proceeded to be told I had given HER attitude when we spoke last time (this was the first time we spoke) and that it's ok because customers give HER attitude all the time. WHAT???? Here is a tip, whatever your name was... GO TAKE SOME CLASSES ON CUSTOMER SERVICE and maybe don't IMMEDIATELY pull out the attitude when someone calls with a question, or you will continue to lose customers, just like you lost one today. Sad, because you guys have fantastic bagels. read more
