    Yummy food at a fair price. I like that there's always a crowd. It's a pretty cozy local cafe and a great place to go if you work from home but need to get out of the house for a bit. I liked the kale salad a lot. The meatball sandwich was pretty good but I probably wouldn't get it again. Haven't gone for happy hour but it looks like they have some good deals. Definitely stop by if you're in the neighborhood looking for a bite, but I wouldn't say you need to go out of your way to come here.

    Up close and very veggie personal: avocado, arugula, tomatoes, red onions and caper Mayo

    Question: How far would you schlep for a Chopped veggie sandwich? Answer: You might say.. It depends..." What makes a great chopped veggie sandwich? What are the ingredients that make you salivate? Portobello mushrooms? Melted Muenster cheese? Pickled red onions? Caramelized onions? Hot honey Mayo? Yes to all of those! Best Chopped Veggie Sammy I've eaten? Under the BQE in a gem that I treasure:,Gertie's. The plan was to find one near the Brooklyn Botanic Garden as I hold on to the last days of summer. I Yelped** Eastern Parkway eateries and found Lincoln Station. LS is literally a five minute walk from BBG. I scrutinized the ingredients: arugula, cheese, avocado, tomatoes and pickled red onions sitting atop whole grain Ciabatta bread. Hmmm.. very interesting. I arrived at LS and ordered said veggie to go. As I waited, , place was pretty packed. It looked more like Brooklyn College cafeteria. I also checked out the menu: Rotisserie Chicken Sammy, pulled pork, kale salad. I stumbled upon a carton of watermelons used for their Watermelon Agua Fresca. After 19 minutes waiting and snapping photos ( patrons might have thought I was a City Food Inspector, getting curious looks my friends). I took my to go and skedaddled to BBG. Looked at my Chopped Veggie and was quite pleased. Results? Whole grain Ciabatta: scrumptious Cheese: American, not melted. Disappointed Avocado: Creamiest, dreamiest Tomatoes: ruby red and sweet Arugula: Fawns fave greens Red Onions:, on point Mayo: caper, not a fan Drink: Jasmine bubble tea from Banh Mi Place ***across from LS. Overall: 8/10 Points taken off: melted cheese and plain Mayo would have been preferred Ambience: need some TLC in furnishings Cashier should greet waiting customers a bit quicker. I understand phone orders but acknowledging guests with a smile and a quick I'll be with you shortly goes the extra mile. Schleppable? Yes, but if I have to schlep further, then Gertie's is it. I would still highly recommend LS and try the rotisserie chicken next. Well, my first review in September, not bad as I sit under a tree at BBG ( hey that rhymed!). **Yelping, always! *** Banh Mi Place: haven't tried their dynamite summer rolls and bubble tea? Then this Virgo says SHAME ON YOU!

    Hand cut French fries = best fries I've ever had!

    Lincoln Station is the neighborhood's gem, always ready to cater to your needs. Whether you're grabbing a quick coffee before your next adventure, settling in to read or work remotely for a few hours, or winding down on the weekend with a beer, Lincoln Station is the go-to spot. With its very relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, it's the perfect place for any moment. Everyone you bring here will love this spot! Absolutely must try the fries. Best fries I've ever had in my life. They are like McDonald's fries, but better and hand-cut. Also, the rotisserie chicken sandwich is lights out. I hate celery with a passion, but I still love this sandwich! Raspberry shortbread is amazing. Lincoln Station also has the bougiest bacon egg and cheese in the neighborhood with a runny egg. Make sure to ask for the egg hard if you don't want a yolk squirt! I love Lincoln Station!!!

    Stopped in here with after attending an exhibit and had a great time. I will def be back ! Food: I ordered the hand cut French fries they were pretty standard and basic but good. One portion is good enough to share for 2 people and pretty affordable. The chai latte was pretty standard as well but it was tasty and I enjoyed. Service: The baristas were friendly and kind and accommodating. Truly appreciate the gentlemen who helped me. Ambiance: Minimal. Artsy and spacious. Dimly lit and you can wfh or just utilize the space to work on some projects. Not noisy and cozy. Although depending on where you sit you can feel a draft of the door openings and closing

    I've wanting to try this place for a while, and I finally got the chance to I stop by on a Wednesday which was already pack so we decided to seat outside. I was shock how quickly the service is going. I tried their lunch menu sandwich. It was absolutely mouthwatering!! Both sandwiches tasted so good I was like happy to do my happy dance silently in my seat! I can't wait to come back! I would love to try their lunch their breakfast menu.

    Pork sandwich

    Stopped in at 5pm for coffee and snack after Brooklyn Museum "Solid Gold" exhibit. The chai latte and pulled pork kimchi sandwich was delish! Local vibe with customers working on laptops.

    I have enjoyed every visit here when I am in Brooklyn. The food is excellent and it is very close to the Brooklyn Museum.

    I went to Lincoln Station after walking around Brooklyn Botanical Garden. As per Google Map, this was the closest location for a cup of coffee. The line was long at 2:30pm on a Sunday afternoon. It wrapped around the small space. I ordered a large coffee; the cost was $5.54. The service could be better. I noticed the trash can overflowing and garbage was scattered near it. The worker emptied the trash can and he didn't bother to deal with the floor. They do have A rating on NYC health website. Hence, I would come back to get their chicken sandwich. When I was waiting on the line, I noticed most of the customers eating it.

    Great place to grab lunch with family. Sit outside on the covered patio built to accommodate social distancing. So nice to be able to enjoy a cool fall afternoon. For lunch, the kale salad is so fresh and satisfying. The egg sandwich is a popular breakfast choice. Two fried eggs, cheese and delicious sauce. So good. Want something warm on a breezy afternoon? The lamb chili was perfect. Dip the baguette slices in the lamb chili. Yum! Add a latte and you have a perfect meal with family or friends.

    Lincoln Station benefited from us going to the Brooklyn Museum to see Picasso and Monet. I was thoroughly disappointed with what I had. I ordered kale (yup, not with anything) -and they called it a salad - and it was expensive. I don't know how someone in another Yelp review thought the kale salad was 'so fresh and satisfying.' So not. The others ordered egg sandwich-two fried eggs, melted cheddar, salsa rosa, with orange veggie avocado and ohwashers bun) and a veggie avocado and cheese sandwich - cheddar, pickled red onion, caper mayo, tomato, arugula or multigrain bread). I wasn't impressed - but those that had their sandwiches liked them more than my salad. We sat outside which was nice to do. Apparently, this cafe is open late so that's a big plus for this area.

Very moody, low lit place with a huge collection of vinyl along the bar wall. I had the Allison Road, made with gin, dry vermouth, apricot liqueur, and orange bitters, described as "A smooth and aromatic gin cocktail that walks the line between floral and fruity." I also had the Junmai Spritz, recommended by the bartender, made with umami/saki, strawberry, ginger, and seltzer. Described as, "Crisp and refreshing, with subtle umami from sake, bright strawberry fruit, and hint of ginger spice." They also have drinks featuring rye, whiskey, rum, mezcal. Flavors of jalapeño, honey, orange, vanilla and chocolate. They have a HUGE beer list. Most of the menu is Japanese inspired. The bartender was kind, attentive, and very laid back. Other than a couple patrons here and there, I was the only person in there on a Wednesday afternoon. They say it gets busier on weekends. They also have a DJ on weekends, usually playing R&B and hiphop. They played mostly jazz when I was in, and it was very relaxing. I came in for the vibes, but this would be great for a workspace as well.

    Overall rating: 4.8…read more Super cute spot near the Brooklyn museum. I already knew it was going to be a great place just by the other reviews, but I wasn't sure if it was going to be snooty or anything. Super chill, but very popular! My friend and I got lucky and got seats at the bar, but I could totally come here solo which is why I like it a lot! Beer is crafted and good. It's a tad bit bright but looks like people come to work, read a book or hang. The staff was really nice and I like how simple the menu is. I don't think I'd eat any snacks here, but I can try it out when I come back. Such a good find & highly reco!

Within 5 minutes, one of the employees comes outside to ask if I want to buy a drink. However, I'm almost finished with my lunch and answer no thanks, only for the employee to say in a huff, "Well, next time you should buy something if you want to use our seating." While I understand that as your business, you have the right to do this, it really just comes off as rude and condescending, turning what would've been a nonexistent interaction into a negative one that has completely soured my attitude toward this establishment. Considering that this establishment had roughly a dozen tables and 24 seats with only 4 seats or so occupied when I was around and I wasn't interfering with business on a slow afternoon, there shouldn't have been a problem with simply letting bygones be bygones. If this is what New Yorkers consider hospitality and acceptable behavior, no wonder people from most other states consider the population to be rude.
