I have been a big fan of Taïm since their days as a lonely outpost in the Village. Since that time…read morethey have turned into a franchise and locations are popping up in some of the most unexpected places. While walking down Hoyt Street in downtown Brooklyn I saw the Taïm logo out of the corner of my eye and I knew I had to check it out. This location is located at the base of a new(ish) residential building and I found myself thinking about how great it would be to have a Taïm right downstairs from where I lived! The interior is an open space with bright colors and light wood decor that is comforting and welcoming at the same time. To the right is a small counter at the window and there are seats to the left. Further on towards the right is a counter where you order via a screen. Near that is the "pick up" shelf for online orders. The counter and kitchen are towards the back. Overall it is a nice set up. Of course, the question one asks when visiting a franchise location is: is the food as good as I remember from the original? I am happy to report it IS! Here's what I had: Green Falafel This is the traditional falafel that first had me fall in love with Taïm. It is made to order so it is fresh. The outside is nice and crisp while the inside is still soft (but not chewy). The flavor is on point thanks to some fantastic seasoning. Add in their Tahini and Whipped Garlic and it's a wonderful dish. Harissa Falafel As you'd expect, this is basically their regular falafel with some spicy harissa seasoning added in. There is a nice bite this adds to their already awesome flavor. Pita with Hummus The pita bread in this combo is topped with Za'atar seasoning, giving it an extra savory flavor. The hummus is not plain, instead it is also seasoned giving it some nice flavor. Now, it does not beat the likes of Hummus Kitchen or Hummus Place, but for fast casual it is very good! The pita bread was soft and chewy with fantastic flavor. A perfect vehicle to deliver Hummus! I was very happy to find this location and will definitely visit again.

Don't come here unless you want to ingest plastic. I found two pieces of plastic in my meal today…read more(similar to saran wrap) and flagged it for the staff. I wanted them to know there was plastic in the food in hopes of preventing others from eating plastic, and I wanted a refund since my meal was inedible after finding a foreign object in it (I was less than halfway done). The manager Kim looked at the plastic and looked at me like I had five heads and asked what it is I wanted it. I explained I'd like a refund, and she said best she could do was give me 30% back. I said there was plastic in my food, and I couldn't eat it and I wanted a full refund. She went on to tell me that their food is wrapped in plastic and it's possible it got in the food. She then held the plastic top to the container my meal was served in and said "well, this is plastic" implying that there was no difference between something being served IN plastic and plastic being MIXED IN my food. It's concerning a manager of a food establishment would be so flippant about patrons ingesting foreign objects. I was honestly so shocked by her behavior that I said she was crazy to suggest that and walked out with no refund at all. I would honestly stay away from here if you care about your safety and well being.

There is bar seating as well as a variety of tables and chairs, making this place ideal for a meet up. I ordered the iced Organic Matcha Milky Strawberry with almond milk, and regular sugar. One thing I liked about these tablets is that it did have some recommended suggestions of what the best milk and sugar level would be for each drink. I found this drink was a little boring and wish I had ordered a topping like cheese foam in addition to it, but was served in a cute plastic mason jar looking cup. My friend got the Creamy Real Taro Paste Bobo with organic oat milk, milk tea and light ice. I had also selected the option to sample the Taro, but sadly was not offered any. This drink was much more exciting and I really enjoyed the unique flavors and texture when I got to try several sips of it. Again, one thing that really stood out was the variety of selections one could make when customizing their drink. This place looks like it has rotating/seasonal options and an interesting food menu as well and so I do plan on returning!

Each option, in whatever form, packs a punch. With the exception of the egg, all their sides and sauces are vegan. Also carries Sweet Loren's edible cookie dough and edible brownie for dessert.

It's on the pricey side but a good lunch option if you want something different from the usual and want to treat yourself.

I ordered from here with absolutely zero expectations of what I would get and was pleasantly surprised. As I suspected, Moonbowls is part of a larger group of ghost kitchen restaurants that serve many dietary accommodations and have abundant options for any time of day's cravings and meal preferences. My bowl came hot and the ingredients were shockingly fresh given the price. As someone who doesn't eat meat, I greatly appreciated the hefty portion of tofu and the egg was indeed jammy! I also liked the customizability of the menu and many dressings and toppings to choose from. I wouldn't go here every night but I'd certainly order from here once every couple of weeks -- especially if they have promos.

I was specifically in the mood for a poke bowl, so I went with their Wasabi Shoyu Salmon bowl. That salmon might not look intimidating but trust, the wasabi is there and every few bites takes you aback (in a good way, of course). Serving size was solid and ratios were great. I didn't ask or look into it but I do wonder if there's a way to modify toppings.   Really good meal. This may now be my go-to poke place.

I'm going to leave a very quick and thorough review…read more Food tastes great, no complaints on the flavor. I did read a few Google reviews on this location on how small portion they are with the meat. I do have to say that the amount of chicken I received in my order was outrageously small. I received far below even the standard amount of chicken establishments serve to customers and it was sliced so thinly I instantly became upset. Carb heavy but protein was extremely lacking. Do not recommend ordering from this location unless you're standing there. This was extremely unfair especially given the price you pay when ordering on Uber Eats.

(Honestly, I've…read morebeen going almost every week since the time of this post) The staff here are very friendly and give great salad recommendations. Now, braised chicken is now my go to for my spicy chicken poblano salad with their ranch. There are so many salad options here and may get overwhelming so definitely look at the menu beforehand before. I always go for their Salad + Protein drink combo. This version comes with a medium bowl of salad and is better if you want a drink to go along with your food. The protein drink is definitely very filling. And don't miss out on the protein drinks! I've been rotating and trying different protein drinks and I have to say the best would be the Açaí Protein Punch. Highly recommend!!!

The café has a cozy, relaxed feel that works well for casual meetings or some quiet time. Staff was friendly and welcoming, though service slowed slightly when it got busy. Overall, Cafe Volkan is a solid choice for coffee and light bites. With a bit faster service during peak hours, it would easily be a regular stop.

Getting to the counter to order felt like a game of Tetris and some poor guy spilled coffee all over himself attempting to squeeze past me. I understand why it's so crowded though, because the crew that works here is so welcoming, and you have a million menu options to pick from. We ordered the an iced matcha and an iced maple latte for drinks. For food, I got the avocado lox toast with eggs, my husband got the Gandhi bagel. Overall, we were a little less impressed by the drinks. They felt a little watered down, but we both prefer bolder coffee and matcha. We both preferred the coffee over the matcha. However, the food was SO delicious. You can tell they really picked fresh, high quality ingredients. Both orders of food were extremely generously portioned. I highly recommend the food to anyone in the area seeking brunch!
