EDITED: Saturday morning, 9:53am, the new floor manager woman calls me "ma'am" and says "I'm sorry" when I sit myself at a booth when there are 2 booths free, redirecting me to a small seat near the bathroom and TV. Wasn't even nice about it. I left. Bye bye to this place. The normal staff is nicer and knows how much I tip. This diner is run like a tight ship! Everything clean, orderly, and efficient. Excellent and friendly staff. Generous portions and even the mozzarella sticks taste fresh. I love that they let me sit in a big booth as a party of 1 or 2 so I can feel like an Edward Hopper painting character staring wistfully over creation as I slurp my shake. read more

There's nothing quite as nostalgic for me as diner grub. Cheap, delicious food and a great cup of coffee. And let me tell you, Little Purity is no exception. Unlike many other diners I've been to, Little Purity has put a personal touch on many of your standard diner fare. And they manage to execute it really ridiculously well. My beau and I stopped by for dinner one night and although it was pretty empty that didn't stop it from being cozy. Their large benches were inviting and the waiter immediately brought us over cups of water which is always a good sign. While there was nothing particularly exotic about our order, boy was it delicious. His burger arrived tucked in a soft potato roll and topped with two huge slices of thick cut bacon and a beautifully cut avocado. My Philly cheesesteak wrap was filled to the brim with sliced steak, veggies, and topped with a gracious layer of ooey gooey cheese. With a side of shoe string fries and onion rings we were in pig heaven. Although we were content with our food, the best part of our meal by far was the service. Everyone working there was so attentive, friendly, and just pleasant to be around. Kudos to you Lil' Purity! read more

Little Purity - Philly cheesesteak wrap, shoe string fries, and a mountain of onion rings (there's a burger hiding in the back). So good. - Diners Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

My lord, Rini and Nick run the most honest and earnest diner I have ever been to. Food is great, but you really get the sense that you are welcomed guests in their establishment. My family and I have been coming here for over 20 years, and I wouldn't change a thing. The definition of a small business that truly cares about its community read more

We came to NY from Texas and had brunch here. This day was the only one not planned out. Saw a recommendation on Instagram from a local and decided to try it. Sooooo glad we did. If our schedule for the rest of the week had allowed, we would have eaten here every day. Loved the food and loved the owner/staff just as much! read more

Boyfriend and I went her for breakfast today. I was torn between two or three stars. The coffee was decent and the service was great, but the food was simply tasteless. We joked that it was a diner for ghosts, since all of the food was a very pale color and didn't have any flavor. He ordered the Mexican breakfast burrito which was mostly just rice in a tortilla. I ordered the challah French toast with a side of eggs and bacon. The French toast wasn't bad, but it wasn't really good either. Everything was technically edible, but it was all kind of a let down. Three stars because the folks working there were kind and attentive and I just felt too guilty giving such nice people only two stars. read more

A good example of a business that does enough to make someone feel welcomed and more important welcomed back. One simple gesture - coffee is on the house. Take note other restaurants I have reviewed... I walk in in the mood for a coffee and my pal wanted a quick bite. The person behind the counter just ran out of coffee but made a fresh batch just for me AND put it on the house. Come on. That is what building loyalty is all about in this city. Now and for now on I am coming to this perfect little diner in park slope. Good job. read more

Delicious breakfast spot in BK. Came here on a whim just looking for some diner food on a Tuesday and was really impressed.

One of my favorite places in the neighborhood. Feels like home. So welcoming, the food is always amazing. I bring all my family here when they come to visit. The staff is so friendly and personable. Couldn't recommend enough. A neighborhood staple. read more

Generally I like a lot of purity (those people who persecuted Hester Prynne were righteous and I love it!) but somedays, if I'm being a little bit naughty, I only like a little purity. Hence my review of Little Purity diner. Okay, it's a diner! The service is nice and efficient, the food is good and everyone is friendly. What's not to like? I had a regular burger and the b/f had a veggie burger. Both were good and mine was actually cooked medium like I asked. Extra points for the pickles and cole slaw. Reliable diner in the South Slope neighborhood; I choose this over Flipster's. So if you're feeling very puritanical or even a little dirty, Little Purity will fill the bill. read more

Best diner in Brooklyn. This is my wife and I's favorite spot in the neighborhood. The service is excellent. The food is amazing. The prices are fair (show me a better deal in Park Slope). Little Purity is down to earth and just right! read more

What can I say idk if it was to early but 4 servers and none came to me to ask for my order until I was staring at them. Ones my food came i ordered pane cakes they were nothing special I have had better but during my whole stay no one asked me if I needed anything ‍ maybe its a great place I just did not have the greatest experience read more

Little Purity has been in Park Slope for years..Lovely diner, staff very friendly and attentive, makes you feel extra special. Very clean, large seating area, stools at the counter for sitting, and they have high chairs for children. I ordered eggs, sausage, home fries and whole wheat toast, delicious! I'm very particular about home fries and rarely enjoy them since they always taste like they were made days ago, and are mushy, but Little Purity's home fries tasted so fresh and truly were yummy! The coffee is tasty as well. I've heard their challah French toast is good so I will try that next time! If you want a great tasting breakfast in a clean establishment, Little Purity is the place for you! Didn't really take pics of the outside as there is scaffolding up at this time, but don't let that keep you from enjoying breakfast here, definitely worth it!!! read more

Delicious food and really lovely people working there. Had a western omelette with home made tomatillo sauce. Really good and grits on the side were yummy, as was the homemade strawberry jam accompanying the toast (also less of those little jelly packets to clog up the environment). Strongly recommend. Staff is cheery and atmosphere is very nice. People actually seem happy to be there. It is really wonderful to have that place here. read more

My all time favorite neighborhood diner. Many items are homemade, that are usually not homemade @ your average diner. Their homemade salsa verde & jam are my favs. Catch it at an off peak time. Peak times have lines, but they move quickly. Nick runs the place. He's super friendly and cares about his customers. My older son likes to just pop in to say hi to his buddy Nick. read more

Ever since we went to this location about 6 months ago it's just been an amazing experience. It's one of those places where you go to feel good and comfortable. The food always fresh and fabulous the service impeccable as one of the owners is always around . It's a brother sister duo running it but man it's so welcoming and literally a second home . Try it and You will see what I mean read more

We like this place for breakfast. It is tiny, so during peak hours one should be prepared to wait, but it's worth it. The food is delicious and is made with care just the way you want it. I like soft bacon, not crispy and not those shriveled pieces of something. Rarely get it at diners, but not this one - my bacon is always soft and done just right. Over easy eggs are truly over easy and not over medium or well done. Kids get special attention and their little demands are indulged quite often as well. Portions are pretty big. Everyone is friendly and regulars are recognized and greeted warmly. read more

So great! They're being extremely conscientious about Covid precautions, wiping down menus (with a bleach solution), offering outdoor seating, limiting indoor seating, and requiring contactless payment. All the staff are wearing masks, and we felt totally comfortable eating here knowing that they were being so mindful of all recommended precautions. And the food is great! We were here for breakfast and got the omelet and the breakfast sandwich. The homemade hot sauce is so delicious! Highly recommend! read more

I just moved to Park Slope and brought my visiting brothers here for brunch. This place was such a great find! I had the omelette Florentine and it was perfect, creamy and filling. My brothers loved their pancakes and French toast. They also got muffins, which were cut and grilled, making them toasty and delicious. I'm only taking a star because of the service. The place was moderately busy, but we were largely ignored for most of the experience, which was a bit disappointing. I would still go back, though, just keeping that in mind. read more

I say Boo Hoo to Justin C. A diner is for human guests, not canine ones. And you're not the only people a diner staff and its management has to worry about. If the presence of your dog is perceived as a potential worry or distraction for the other guests, the staff has not only the right but the duty to decline serving you at the moment. Stop being selfish and petty. What you are not talking about is how often over the years this diner and its owner/manager Nick has handled its tremendous crowds with charm and panache, making sure everyone gets a place in time and putting everyone at ease as they wait. And they are all glad to do so. I miss you Little Purity, and your Penne Ala Vodka with Chicken, and our conversations, Nick. Be safe and well, and glad to see you're holding in there during these trying times. read more

This is a decent diner in the neighborhood. I stopped by with a friend after a recent 5K in nearby Prospect Park and a few others had the same idea as there was a wait. Once seated, the service was courteous and excellent; we were asked many times if we wanted refills for our coffee. The food was good - I had pancakes and eggs and my friend made her own omelette. Overall, this is a fine diner. read more

Really great cozy little diner that makes delicious food and has great service. Unpretentious, delicious. Love this place. Actually, stay away! We want this place to ourselves! read more

We have our own diner back home in Cali. Found Little Purity walking down 7th late one night. I loved the place and It's family owned. Staff was super friendly and food portions I thought were perfect. Coffee cup sizes were about the same as other diners I been to so I'm confused by other reviews on their size. Need it filled ? Ask.... that easy winers. End of the day old school diner I wish there were more of. Recommend the place if your in the neighborhood . Tell em Fat Tony sent you. ... read more

My favorite breakfast spot in the city! Everyone loves a trendy brunch with friends, where you end up dropping $60 for breakfast, but I would much rather this spot. It's family run and they are all equally kind and welcoming. They make you feel like part of the family while you are there. The food is great and the prices are what they should be for breakfast! Even after moving from park slope to Williamsburg I still make my wife travel here for breakfast at least once a month! read more

Always love it here. Can't beat the family charm and great service. Perfect diner food.

If you are looking for a solid square meal and sense of home town dinner than Little Purity is your place. The owners warmth and counter presence is part of experience. Nothing better than having a great meal with personal touch and service. My go to's are their soup which are always top shelf and home made rice pudding. Treat yourself, grab a seat if there is room and enjoy! read more

Been coming for here for more than 20 years (when it was Katina's diner). Great food and service -- burgers and breakfast.

My favorite diner! It's a neighborhood gem. The kindest staff in the world, super fast service and delicious food. You really can't beat it as far as diners go. Absolutely the best! read more

wish I could give them no stars. They are horrible. When every other place in the area delivers to me, they refuse and are absolutely rude on the phone. Its pure laziness and in my opinion their lack of ambition will put them out of business. I needed some late night food and they couldn't deliver and I am not very far from them. Seems like all the employees we're eager to do it but one guy, probably the owner or the manager, refused. They even put the delivery guy on the phone to get directions and he interrupted him to tell me no. Its disappointing, really. I told him I would post a review on Yelp. I hope he reads it and everyone else as well and maybe they'll think twice next time about what "service" really is. I bend over backwards for my clients and they keep coming back. That's how you make it in this world. That is how success happens. It doesn't come from laziness. This attitude of some new yorkers infuriates me. I'll be happy to see their for rent sign on the building some day. read more

Who would pass up an opportunity to discuss American Idol with a portly elderly gentleman whilst waiting for a to-go Turkey Burger. Not I, that's for damned sure. I agree with Rebecca, the omelets are pretty dece - just avoid the spinach. It clearly came from a can. Several days ago. Eggs, toast and hash browns are $2.50 or so - rivaling my previous Gray's Papaya post for the best breakfast deal in New York. Staff is super friendly and enjoy wearing massive hoops and excessive amounts of mascara. Quite glad LP is right down the block. read more

It's Saturday or Sunday at noon, and you stayed the night at your girlfriend's place in Park Slope. Last night you were shitfaced and laughing your ass off. But today you're lacking a sense of humor, feeling like a wilted flower, and you just need sustenance, promptly. Forget about sangria and mojitos and all the other yuppie brunch bullshit. What you need are protein, carbs, and caffeine -- and fast. The breakfast food at Little Purity is the best hangover cure in walking distance. I like to order huevos rancheros and a bagel with cream cheese and coffee -- keep it coming, will ya? read more

Cozy space that offers fairly good portions for a great price. Typical diner menu with endless amounts of coffee, especially during these cold winter weeks. Scrambled eggs, corned beef hash & potatoes was how I began my morning here..oh and don't forget the coffee! What can one say about diner food, but that it hit the spot. I'll come by again when I need to warm up from the cold. read more

I am so glad I'd yet to review Little Purity until now, as I discovered some very disheartening news the other night. Let's review the three simple qualifications for a diner and how Little Purity scores: 1) Must be Greek owned and operated. Check - as far as I can tell. 2) Must serve breakfast, lunch, dinner, and all fare in between at all hours. Check. Breakfast is available at night. Dinner is available in the morning. You get the picture. As for the "all hours" part, well... 3) Must be open 24 hours. I'd walked into Little Purity around midnight recently, only to be told the kitchen was closed and they were shutting down for the night. But this is a diner, right? How is this possible? To make matters worse, it explicitly reads "Open 24 Hours" on the awning. I feel cheated. My neighborhood diner is but a facade. You have to understand, I was born and raised in Jersey, the land of diners. And Little Purity, I don't really know how else to say it, so I'm gonna tell it to you straight - this is just not cool. ::Takes deep breath:: Diner disqualification aside, I do like this place a good deal. It's a sure bet for a big breakfast on the cheap when you're not feeling the whole brunch scene. I've come home late from work and stopped in for a quick and tasty burger. When all is said and done, the staff is accommodating and the food is consistent. While I'm still annoyed at you, Little Purity, my loyalty remains. It'll take some time to heal these wounds, but I will be back, just allow it to be on my terms. Remember, I could always walk a few more blocks to your big bro Purity, who, need I remind you, is a true, full-service, all-hours diner. But, let's be honest, I'm lazy and you're close. So, when I'm good and ready, I'll see you Sunday morning for my standard plate of pancakes and a side of sausage. But, dude, seriously, enough with the deception, you gotta change that sign. read more

I was confused as to how Little Purity differs from Purity Diner a few blocks away - shit was pretty much regular. As I said about Purity Diner, eggs are eggs, and you have to be pretty wack to screw them up. We split the florentine omelette (w/ spinach and feta, toast and "home fries" which are actually just kind of mealy, greasy potatoes - same as the other spot). The layout of the menu was the exact same, as were the items and prices - Purity Diner feels a little more homey and the service is better. Maybe I'm a fine dining service snob, but please do not take my plate out from underneath me while I am still eating my toast. It makes me feel like a fatass. Still, it's cheap, and what you see is what you get, which is refreshing. Whatever, a shitty diner's a shitty diner, so if you are hungover and want standard breakfast fare, this'll do, especially if you're on a budget. read more

Love this place. Great food, great service, a go-to for breakfast anytime!

I would like to commend Little Purity for always serving up amazing omelets for hangover breakfasts. Sure, sometimes the waitress forgets your juice, or your butter-on-the-side, but who really needs butter anyway? Omelets are fluffy and chock-full of ingredients and CHEESE. It's nice to only have to walk a long block to dinery decentness. read more

A few of my friends and i went here to get ready for a night out and were pleasantly surprised. The service was great and fast and the atmosphere was very relaxing. We ordered very diverse meals lol i got the chicken parm, a friend got the chicken pot pie, another friend got eggs and bacon etc....THE CHICKEN POT PIE WAS HUGE....AND SOOOO GOOD. we will be back for sure!!! read more
