They spill all over the place every time and because of that, I always burn my hand. They don't have sleeves either because I think the cups are too small. The customer service could be better as it always seems like to-go orders are an inconvenience over dining in customers. Either way, the location is convenient if you need a coffee shop in Greenpoint if the neighboring shops are full. They do have a full menu for brunch, lunch, and dinner service. The prices match the location and the food looks good as there are always locals dining outside with their families and dogs. The space is spacious as well. I cannot comment on the food, only my takeout order experience. Accepts cash, card and Applepay. Indoor, outdoor and takeout available. Bathroom available.

we ordered three items:…read more 1. cheeseburger with fries 2. caesar salad 3. chicken parm all were excellent. I loved that the cheeseburger had crispy lettuce, pickles, tomatoes and cheese. The mix of a thousand island type sauce with ketchup made this burger a 10/10. The sesame bun gives the burger a great softness with all the other textures. + the fries gave me the feeling of an elevated mcdonald's fry! caesar salad was perfect. Lots of lettuce, not overly anchovy and just the croutons were soft and crisp at the same time? very much enjoyed how big of a portions all of these items were. chicken parm sauce was tangy and had good flavoring with the perfect melted cheese on top of the soft but crisp edges of the chicken. i'd highly recc all three items we got! service was quick once we got seated and was nice to be outside in the warm weather.

Went for dinner and got the burger and the absolute must try in our favorite dish the vinegar chicken. I've never seen something like this on a menu before so I wanted to try it, and boy will be surprised. It's not an overbearing, salty vinegar taste, and a compliments. The sweet pepper is extremely well. One of the more fun dishes we had this summer. Everybody was really nice and easy to work with. We had a great time and will be back for some summer meals.

At this particular time during this pandemic, I'm attempting to circle back to my favorite restaurant I enjoyed pre-pandemic to see who is open and offering outdoor dining. To my delight, Kaskade is now offering outdoor dining and plus their backyard patio is now open. My latest visit to Kaskade was a bit of a reunion of sorts. I enjoyed a marvelous brunch with my dear friends. Although the brunch menu is limited, it had a decent variety of option to choose from. We all enjoyed the burger, which was cooked to perfection. I must say, the chef is excellent. I've never had a bad meal. Period. The chefs attention to details and presentation is superb. The staff can't be left out here because the service is outstanding as well. I can't wait to return for dinner in the coming days. I always might add that they have to-go cocktails and who doesn't love that. I'll end by saying what I said in the very beginning, Kaskade never disappoints.

Our reservation was for right when they opened so we were the first few to get seated. The owner was so sweet and made sure to get us inside and out of the cold while we waited. There's a bar at the front of the restaurant and the seating is all in the back. I loved how simple and modern and warm it felt while we were dining there. To share, we ordered the Japanese Breakfast Set ($29) and Miso Ricotta Mushroom Toast ($19). All the components of the breakfast set were curated so well and with intention. The toast was absolutely amazing and so flavorful. I'd love to come back and try their Apple Tart Tatin Pancakes!

I got a Brazhoot of Happiness panini (the smaller option), and it was amazing. So much mozzarella, so much prosciutto, and the vinegar peppers balanced the taste so nicely. A little crunch, a little chewiness, some sour from the vinegar, and a lot of salt...what a combo. I also got an iced coffee drink, it was espresso poured over a coffee slush. Different phases of coffee and all of them were delicious. They make a mean espresso here, for real. Fantastic spot for great Italian deli food, definitely worth a visit!

Sabino was working the register and was incredibly friendly. Although I wanted to eat my sfogliatella later, he gave it to me first. It my first time ever having one and it was freaking delicious. It was warm and flaky with the perfect amount of pistachio filling. I def savored each bite and contemplated getting another one but ultimately decided not to. My salad came out shortly after and was better than I expected. The croutons were ginormous but also seasoned and worth each bite. The salad was tangy and had plenty of shredded Parmesan, which I loved! I got a chance to talk with Sabino a bit before he left. Because he had difficulty on the register, he gave me some later cookies which I thought was an incredibly nice gesture. I more than enjoyed my visit and already can't wait to come back! Things to note: it's pretty small inside so plan on either standing or getting it to go as there's only 3-4 stools to sit on.

Between the three of us, we ordered the borscht soup, Polish appetizer sampler, pork schnitzel, duck pierogies, and lastly a cheesecake to finish the night. I was stuffed mid-dinner but somehow the roasted potatoes kept luring me back in. Borscht soup (with mushroom dumplings) was nice and hot, great to settle my stomach that was feeling a bit off earlier in the day. Polish appetizer sampler is lovely to try a bit of everything. I really enjoyed the cabbage wrap. Duck pierogies was a first for me. Good portion sized, savory and not light on the meat. Pork schnitzel was nicely breaded, crispy and thin. The roasted potatoes on the side was so well-seasoned, no additional add-ons necessary. Cheesecake was decent, and the server delighted us with three little candles on top to celebrate. Unbeknownst to us, there's music on Friday evenings! Great mood uplifter. It was pleasant to have a guitarist playing live music, while we munch away.

The cabbage was stuffed with kasha and veggies and smothered in mushroom sauce. Two cabbage rolls served with a small side salad and my choice of side (cucumber salad).

Bonus points for the retro poster in the bathroom.

Yet, the smaller than expected plate of mussels was piled high with more cilantro than I have ever seen outside of a food prep station at a Mexican restaurant. This is during the lettuce Cyclospora outbreak, which cilantro was an item that was recommended to avoid, and so I was trying to avoid cilantro too. Once I removed the piled high cilantro into a separate dish, I got into the mussels. And I have to say that there were so many empty shells, I was wondering where all those mussels went because they certainly were not hiding in the broth or in the monstrous amount of cilantro I had removed from the top of the dish. I honestly don't think I have ever had a more disappointing dish of mussels. Probably in total there were 10 mussels I consumed. And for $28! Here is the menu description: Steamed in a saffron-coconut sauce with chilies and scallions. Accompaniment: Served with grilled sourdough bread for dipping into the broth I will NEVER return to this restaurant and honestly want to call my credit card and report fraud to get a refund.

The wagyu burger was tender and smoky topped with a sunny-side up egg and chipotle aioli. The massive brown butter French toast topped with toffee, roasted bananas, and strawberries à la mode was perfection. The service was impeccable.
