The eggs Benedict Royale was $13 and decently priced for its portion size. The potatoes were crispy, yet soft, and paired well with the ketchup drizzles right from the bottle. The salmon was fresh and easy to consume with the runny egg, that ran ever so aesthetically when poked with a fork. The matcha latté ($4.50) was pleasant; the temperature was just fine, not too hot and not too cold. Overall, my experience was lovely. read more

This is such a cute brunch place! The place is small but is nicely decorated. I came here on a Sunday afternoon with the girls and had a great time enjoying some food and companies. We ordered an Eggs Benedict, fruits salad, mushroom omelet and some grilled cheese. The food looks amazing. The only disappointment is that the fruits salad was not what I expected cause it doesn't have veggies in it. But would recommend this place for a chill brunch time. read more

Parlay - Eggs Benedict, mushroom omelet, grilled cheese, fruits salad with avocado on the side. - New American Near Me - Sunset Park, New York

Food was decent. Location was small but cute. Unfortunately this place charges for substitutions without stating it on the menu or mentioning it during the order. Waitress literally offered to substitute fruit for home fries and then went on to charge me for the substitution. Like really? read more

First time I visited was July 4th. They were super busy, but that did not affect service or quality of the food. Iced coffee was delicious. My eggs florentine, delicious. Service, great. Parlay is very small, but totally worth visiting. Second time I visited was yesterday(7/8/17). It was pretty empty. Good came out hot, fresh and quick. My pulled pork sandwich had a generous portion of pork. Their brioche buns are so good!! & the slaw, refreshing and tasty. The only negatives of my visit were too much salt on the fries and my iced coffee was not iced. I had to ask for an extra cup of ice. I'm very glad to have an awesome spot like Parlay so close to home. Please start accepting cards! Lol. read more

Parlay - Bacon egg & cheese, French toast, eggs Benedict, eggs Florentine, iced coffee and Mexican coke. - New American Near Me - Sunset Park, New York

I won't address the food or drink on this extremely limited menu at Parlay where I've eaten multiple times when nothing else is open around. The restaurants are sparse down here by this one. Had to pee badly and just made it in here one afternoon and slipped into the empty bathroom (not in a service area). Businesses are supposed to allow access to these anyway under the new regs. Nodded and said bathroom when "owner" asked if he could help me, on my rush in. On way out, he blocked my exit and shouted in front of the entire restaurant "Next time ask if you want to use the bathroom." Highly embarrassing. Then I told him to FO for his rudeness. He followed me out the restaurant and accosted me on the street saying I wasn't allowed in his restaurant anymore. Asian with dreadlocks, says he's the owner. Cultural appropriation or self-loathing?, can't tell, but guy has huge ego problems and is insensitive. I'm a clean-cut senior citizen. Clearly in emergent need of facilities. All set to say thank you before he blasted me loudly coming out of bathroom. This guy could not have been more insensitive and brash. I've never seen him in restaurant when I've picked up food there (or dined in before the protocols). Please boycott this restaurant just on the "owner"'s insensitivity grounds! Don't give him a dime of your SP dollars. Since I'm sure he's going to try to deny his behavior, and likely to recruit cronies to say otherwise, I'm going to ignore his reply. That's as it happened above. Oblivious to my condition. Unnecessary meanness! read more

Came here for a late brunch. Had a matcha latte (with almond milk) and the pulled pork sandwich. Yum! Matcha latte could've have been warmer. We were sitting right by the door and what a HUGE mistake. Burr cold...and I believe thats why made my food and beverage so cold. THE DOOR WOULDN'T SAY CLOSED! They seem short on staff, had to call on the waitress that we were ready to order and same wait for the check. The waitress was very nice. read more

Cute little spot. We had a late weekday breakfast there. Good coffee. Should I find myself back in Brooklyn, I would definitely go back. I had eggs and black coffee, my ill friend had pancakes and fruit. read more

Fantastic little spot in one of the least expected places. Just one block from Sunset Park, Parlay is on the edge of Brooklyn's Chinatown, a place more known for Chinese bakeries and dim sum than it is for trendy brunch spots. The place has fantastic Breakfast Sandwiches, and is a great place to grab a cup of coffee in the neighborhood. It's also accommodating if you need a place to work while you're in the neighborhood! And before I forget, the place is very well put together, and I like the pipe, shelving system in place so much I intend to replicate it for my apartment. read more

Breakfast is decently priced. Try their Eggs Benedict with a cup of cappuccino. Their breakfast sandwiches are great as well. Lunch/dinner: they had spicy wings that were really good. Too bad that's off the menu now. Their Mama's curry is delicious but if you like spicy, you would need to ask for some Siracha or chili since it only has a kick. Their pulled pork and beef brisket is good too; A little messy to eat and yummy. Try everything. Their menu is small compared to other places, but good to start. I would like to see a special menu every month to see or try something different. read more

This place is cute. The food isn't all like WOW! but its good. I especially like the malaysian curry. Brunch here is not the special foods, but if you're looking for a spot close by sunset park, this place is great! read more

I'll be your friend this time and tell you about Parlay. This chill little neighborhood spot is my absolute favorite. The kind of place that makes you send tantrum gifs in your lit group text to your friends who actually live in Brooklyn. I'm visiting from Los Angeles and the bacon egg sandwich was really good, and wasn't $18 (looking at you Wburg). The roti was amazing and I'm sad that I won't be here long enough to try the curry. Also, an unexpected bonus is that the music playing seemed like it was the most well-curated suggested Spotify list for my taste I could ever imagine. Forced back to my punishment corner in LA, I'll be excited for the next visit here read more

In Brooklyn's chinatown, this little place is a breath of fresh air. The coffee and food is good. Not awesome, but ok. The BLT I had was fine. I wasn't blown away, just very standard. They provide wifi for up to 2 hours. They only accept cash. I've gone back plenty of times for coffee and pastry and a place to work. read more

Honestly a great place to get brunch with your friends. This place is definitely a place you have to try. Trust me you would want to go back here after indulging in the scrumptious food. read more

Parlay - Fried Chicken Sandwich $8.75 Spinach & Cheese Omelette $7.25 Eggs Royale $10.25 Hibiscus Lemonade $3 - New American Near Me - Sunset Park, New York

You can't get any better than this. And considering the neighborhood, what more can you ask for? If you're like me, you'll know that growing up in Sunset Park, Brooklyn wasn't all that glorious. Filled with bodegas, Chinese fast food spots on every corner, new boutique shops opening up and closing down within months. Sooner or later came the bakeries where you'll find most people grab their cup of joe and raisin buns in the morning. And again, if you're anything like me than you love coffee and was ecstatic to find a vibe like no other, that not only serves delicious food (for the price as well) but good coffee. Along with its charm and laid back (hence "Parlay") ambience. Nonetheless, you won't be disappointed. read more

I love Parlay! As the first (of now, three) new coffee shops to open in Sunset Park in one short year, they've got my loyalty. I think their brunch is delicious and everyone there is incredibly nice. I do think they could do with upping their game a *little* bit when it comes to the beans they use for coffee, I don't usually get regular brewed coffee there because I can make a better cup at home, but I like their lattes and cortados well enough! And I can't stress enough -- the food is *delicious*. read more

Went there for brunch. Good food, and very nice, friendly staff. Wish it were a wee bit bigger, but still a nice neighborhood place to grab a bite and get coffee. read more

When I went in, the guy( whom I'm guessing is the owner along with his parents) was very stand-off ish. The whole time I was there he did not smile even once which doesn't make you feel welcomed. Food was decent which is why they're even getting two stars- got the chicken sandwich, grilled jam and cheese, and hibiscus lemonade. The whole reason I went there was to have brunch and to get some work done. Clearly people go there with laptops. But when I asked for WiFi, they apparently don't have WiFi. He didn't seem to be apologetic or explain himself which I also thought was rude. Waste of my time. read more

Food is great. Very clean and good service. They serve breakfast and coffee all day :)

So, so excited to see a new cafe in my neighborhood with hipster vibes and friendly service. You can't beat the prices either. Where else can you get eggs benedict/florentine/ norwegian for under $10?! They also come with home fries or salad. As of now, they have brunch all day (which is perfecccct for a brunch lover like me!) They also have wifi and outlets so its a great place to do work, to have some quiet time to yourself, or to catch up with a friend. I can't wait to watch this cafe prosper and grow. One star off only because I have just tried one thing from their menu (the eggs norwegian which was delish) so its a bit too early to give them a 5/5. But I will definitely be back and so far I'm definitely liking what I'm seeing! :) read more

Parlay - Eggs royale - New American Near Me - Sunset Park, New York

This place is one of my go to brunch places. I love their pulled pork sandwich, eggs Benedict and sweet potato fries. It's a nice spot offset from busy 8th ave which is always nice. The interior is very nice and cozy and always feels welcoming, the staff are always polite and ready whenever I have questions. The only downside for me that is they don't take card and I don't believe they deliver either. read more

Great place for brunch! The potatoes were my favorite! I loved the balance between delicious and healthy. The pancakes were great as well. As for the decor it was a mix of old and new, the aet deco inspired flooring gives a nice touch to the rustic but chic tables. This place is nice and clean. read more

The staff, the music, the atmosphere, and most importantly, THE FOOD! are all amazing here. I've been here twice and the first time I ordered a Caesar salad with chicken, the second time I ordered the French toast with banana. I drank coffee both times and it was all perfect. I went with the same person twice and we also brought a friend the second time because this place deserves to be known! If you're even just craving a good iced coffee (yes, better than Starbucks I promise) then go here! AND TRY THE OAT MILK! Everything about this place is comfortable and inviting. Give it a try it really doesn't disappoint! read more

30 minutes to get a take away order... When a table freed up, since we had been waiting for so long already, we asked to be seated. Answer: "once you order to go, you can't change your order". I guess it's against the restaurant's policy to take the food out of the box and put in a plate? Sometimes they mix up orders and give you the wrong food, if you get an order to go make sure to open the box and check that what you ordered is actually there. This used to be a pretty good place, not anymore. Either they've hired new incompetent waitresses or they have so many customers now that they need to get rid of some. In this regard they succeeded, I'm never going back there. read more

Cute brunch place further from the 8 Ave crowd. Egg Benedict and egg florentine were good. Spanish and cheese omelette was ok. Home fries came with the egg dishes were good. Curry chicken with roti was a must try. Matcha latte was so bland and less matcha flavor to my liking. Just tasted like plain milk to me. Caramel latte was great! There were only 2 ladies working in a packed cafe on a Sunday at 11am. They were moving nonstop but service was a bit slow. Will go back again! read more

I went in, ordered an iced latte, had to pay cash because they don't accept credit card, was told to sit outside because they only allow diners to sit inside, which is annoying but whatever I went outside, then it began to rain so I came in, and I was told I'd have to order food to sit inside of this nearly empty establishment. So I ordered an entree so that I would be allowed to sit indoors away from the rain. I opened up my laptop so I could check my e-mail and was told they have a no laptop policy. I asked for a refund for my low-quality coffee and the waitress refused and made some condescending remarks about how I obviously never worked in food service (I have for several years) and then told me her job isn't to make customers satisfied, it's to make money by selling food. (oh is that how restaurants work? tell me more). The waitress told me to leave, so I left, waited in the rain for an uber and went home. I would not recommend this place. The coffee was of poor quality but still managed to cost a premium, the service is abysmal, and the owners clearly seem hyper-focused on getting as much money as possible while enforcing their money-making policies even if that means literally kicking people out in the rain. read more

Good food, good service. I did not give them 5 stars because they only take cash. It's an inconvenience to have to go to an ATM just to have lunch here. read more

Came for breakfast on a Thursday heard the pancakes were amazing. I'm thinking the great reviews are from people just as starving for a nice coffee place finally because the food was anything but good. Fish sauce chicken wings were disgustingly sweet and the aftertaste of the saltiness from the fish sauce just lingers with each bite. Pancakes were worse than the local diner around the neighborhood. My mother in law said their omelette was nice and delicious not like the oily mess you get at diners so that's the one plus in our food experience. The table was wobbly so I ended up losing a quarter of the latte I ordered, this mommy was not happy. 2 stars for the latte and decent service but I would rather stay home and cook. I make way better pancakes. read more

This place is a gem. Every time we come here, we would order the curry chicken and eggs Benedict. The place is really small and can get busy at times. We always call ahead of time to check on the seating situation. read more

Parlay - Eggs Florentine & a latte - New American Near Me - Sunset Park, New York

Sunset Park has been up and coming (verb.) for a few years now. But it's only recently that the neighborhood got its first coffee shop, and a good one! Everything about this place delivers: from coffee, to delicious food, to good selection of vinyl (which is sadly just for interior), to pricing. The place has a very friendly vibe, to both catch up with a friend or to work, large sunny windows are good for people watching and outside benched are a good bonus for smokers. Food over here is great and very cheap! I only had breakfast options but guilty of spending way too many mornings at Parlay. The only downside would be a "cash only" policy. In 2016 having almond milk but not having square is paradoxical. As for coffee - I wouldn't put it in my "best Brooklyn coffee" contest but it is always very good. That being said, if you are around and reading this on Yelp - you really have no other options. read more

Parlay - Breakfast here is the best! - New American Near Me - Sunset Park, New York

You would think you're in park slope or Williamsburg with this restaurant, it seems so out of place in Brooklyn Chinatown. It's a welcome asset. This place is cozy and has a laid back vibe. The tables are all arranged by the windows which makes the tables extremely closed to your neighbors with a lot of space wasted in the middle. I got the spinach and cheese omelet which was decent like something I can make myself....which does not speak volume since I don't cook. The side of potato was awesome though, perfectly seasoned and cooked with a slight crispy edges. My husband got the pulled pork sandwich which was really tasty and would definitely recommend. The kids shared a grilled cheese sandwich which needed more cheese and butter...kids preferred the sweet potato fries. I wonder if they have an actual skilled barista, the green tea matcha latte was flavorless and the picture of the drink was not instagram or fb worthy at all. read more

I have been wanting to try this place since it opened down the street from my favorite Bahn Mi joint in Brooklyn aka Ba Xuyen. Unfortunately, I was thoroughly disappointed with my dining experience. We visited this place on Mother's day 2018 for brunch. We arrived at 2pm to a packed house. A table was just opening up as we arrived so we were seated, given menus and waters very quickly. I was like, "Ok so far, so good." We ordered the sweet potato fries with sriracha mayonnaise to start. I had read in a few reviews that this is a must try item and it didn't disappoint. The sweet potato fries came out hot, crispy and quickly. The sriracha mayo had a nice heat, just enough spice that is non threatening to non spicy food lovers like my daughter and boyfriend. Unfortunately, that's where the good parts of this review ends. We ordered iced tea and coffee. Nowhere on the menu does it mention that the iced tea is unsweetened and the waitress didnt warn us either when we ordered it. They then bring the hot coffee and we ask for cream and sugar, you know? The standard things one asks for when you order a coffee. The waitress points us to a DIY station at the counter with carafes of cream, milk, sugar packets and a squeeze bottle of simple syrup. So you're telling me that we now all have to get up to fix our drinks at the counter when you're our waitress? I was willing to forgive such a minor inconvenience but then the debacle with our food orders began. We ordered an eggs Benedict, the fried chicken sandwich and the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. After 30min, our food still had not arrived and no remote update from the waitress as to why the food was so delayed. Finally, at the 40 minute mark, the other waiter comes over and says, "we ran out of English muffins, so you mind if the eggs Benedict is served on toast?" At this point, we are starving and we just want the food. We agree to toast. My boyfriend had drank all his coffee already but since no waitress had come to check on us, the cup stayed empty. He brought the cup up to the counter and asked for a refill. The guy at the counter says, "we have no free refills here. You have to pay $1 per refill." I have never heard of no free coffee refills when you're at a brunch spot. It is absolutely preposterous, in my opinion. You'd figure that they'd at least give us the free refill considering we have been waiting for over 45 minutes for some simple dishes! I even had to bring up our water glasses to the counter to ask for water refills! The food finally comes and it was underwhelming. My daughter's BEC was just ok. The bacon was a bit burnt. The eggs Benedict was bland and the home fries were tasteless. My fried chicken sandwich was good but it was cold by the time we got it. No wait staff even bothered to ask us how our food was. The only time we saw or spoke to her again was when she brought our check to the table. I will never come here again because of the absolute crap service. It's a shame really. It's so close to me and I love to brunch. This could have been such a Go To joint but it turned into such a disappointing excursion. read more

Super cute super clean and super friendly. I realized I said super a lot but super delicious food too! Ask the girl over the counter for recommendations if you can't decide what to order. I got the mums Malay Curry chicken with Roti bread and god damn it was delicious. I was dipping my friend's fries in the curry too. And you should definitely leave like a dollar tip minimum in the tip jar because of how attentive the staff is! read more

Been here couple times and created this just to leave review. I usually don't care about such things but this guy the owner or manager asian with dreadlocks guy is extremely rude. Every time I've been here he has told us to grab an empty seat. Today did exactly that to which he responds "nah nah nah we ain't doing that there's people ahead of you" in a loud and furious voice and proceeds to block my wife from sitting almost as if he was gonna shove her out the way. I felt embarrassed and taken back. There was no one there and he didn't direct anyone nor did I see anyone waiting. One person was ahead of me ordering but that was it. I asked to speak to him and told him that was all unnecessary how he spoke and acted and said "you know how it is". I don't know if he saying I'm supposed to be spoken to rudely because I'm Hispanic or what but I felt discriminated against because I'm suppose to know what it is. Food is good but I would never come back. read more

Possibly the best bacon, egg, & cheese I've ever had. Iced coffee was above average as well. Cute spot, nice staff.

one of my favorite brunch spots that happens to be couple blocks away. food: AMAZING. i have been here several times before but on my visit today, the food was sooo yummy. we ordered the eggs benedict and fried chicken sandwich with iced tea and iced chai latte. the eggs benedicts was perfectly cooked, the yolk was running, the hollandaise sauce was perfectly seasoned. the fried chicken sandwich was amazing. it's surprising to find a place that uses dark meat but they made a fantastic choice because it was super juicy and flavorful. on one sad note the drinks were watered down. price: SOOO CHEAP BUT SOOO GOOD. everything came up to $25. but seriously where can you find a amazingly tasting eggs benedict for under $9?? service: it does get packed but service is quick. food comes out really quick. read more
