    Croissanwich Bacon Egg & cheese and Iced Coffee
    Adam M.

    This is a very solid coffee shop! I was in the neighborhood and washed a quick bite and coffee and wandered it. The staff may be the kindest coffee house staff in Brooklyn. The food was good (I had a croissandwich) and the coffee is ready as well. The cafe itself is a nice size and very clean. Solid vibe. Would happily return again.

    Four quarter-pieces of waffle with chocolate drizzle, whipped cream, and berries. Side of syrup (not visible).

    Quick to order and the food came out fast too. Coffee was delicious. The only downside is there isn't much seating/space. Service was good!

    Lox Nova Salmon Bagel Sandwich

    The interior of the cafe was beautifully decorated and the staff were nice and ready to take our order. The food was ok but not the best lox bagel I've had before. I think their more known for their drinks.

    The food was not great if we're being honest. The lack of cream cheese on the bagel was criminal. We ordered lattes and those ending being ready significantly later than the food, and weren't worth the wait. The BEC cheese was fine. It was a Monday, so it could have been an off day, but it was overall not great and we left disappointed.

    This place is super cute and vibey~ There have comfy couches, it's not too crowded, and enough speciality drinks / sandwiches to keep you fed and warm. Came in here on a Sunday~ and we got sandwiches and coffee. It was nice working here and I enjoyed the environment. This is definitely a "true cafe" ie, they serve chips instead of fries. And the service can be a bit slow~ because they have like 2 people working but if you're looking for a new change up for a cafe would recommend! Drink and sandwich came out to be ~$25p but not horrible considering the sandwich I actually ate in two meals.

    Awesome, dog friendly, local coffee shop. The barista was super friendly and helpful. Coffee is delicious and there's plenty of options to mix it up. They also have bagels and pastries to snack on if your hungry. Definitely recommend if your in the area looking for a good cup of coffee.

    Social House Cafe was the perfect place to meet a new friend I made in the city! A compact but well designed space, the cafe felt cozy but spacious at the same time. First things first - the drinks. I decided on a Cinnamon Crunch Latte, not expecting to get a Cinnamon Toast Crunch Latte!!! I was pleasantly surprised to see a piece of my childhood on the top of my morning coffee, and even more glad to find out the drink was not too sweet at all! My lovely friend ordered the nutella latte, but not being a coffee drinker, she didn't enjoy it too much (sadly, nutella can't fix everything...). The croissantwich was the perfect way to wake up in the morning. The flaky, crispy croissant filled with layers of goodness - eggs, avo, cheese, and a delicious green spread (the contents of which I am blissfully unaware). The staff were really sweet and despite forgetting about my order, made it quickly once I asked about it! Overall, a great spot to check out if you're in Williamsburg

    Croissanwich, House Chicken Sandwich
    Alexi K.

    - food was extremely mediocre. We were actually worried that our bacon wasn't cooked all the way; it was very floppy and pale. The cheese on the croissant sandwich felt and tasted like a Kraft single. The chicken really didn't have any taste to it. We couldn't finish any of it - the lattes were tasty - ambiance is cozy inside, seating is nice outside

    Photo looks more appealing than they were. Waffles with fresh berries. Waffles were cardboard. Fake, sugar syrup.
    Hannah M.

    I will start by saying that everyone who works here is friendly, helpful, and welcoming. However, the food and coffee was lacking. It's ok for a coffee bar, but I got the waffles and they must have been frozen before. They tasted like cardboard. And I think they were like $14 or something around there. I picked this spot because I wanted a cafe I could sit and read at for a little while and get a coffee. On a Saturday or Sunday in Williamsburg, it's impossible to find a cafe or coffeeshop that isn't mobbed. So, I will say that this fulfilled that need for me, but the ambiance wasn't great either. Kind of weird, off vibes. Great staff! But I won't be coming back. Overpriced for the quality of what you get :/

    Bathroom signs

    If you have to poop, look elsewhere. This place is not for you. The bathroom is barraged with anti-pooping literature. Pooping is NOT allowed here. Take note, you will be shamed if you poop here. Otherwise, my latte was good and the service was good. I'd come again. -1 star for not being allowed to poop.

    Caprésese Sándwich
    Carlos A.

    Absolutely amazing! The place is beautiful and staff are super friendly and the food is delicious. I love that you get a lot of food as well for the price. It's definitely not like other expensive restaurants and you only get a small amount of food. Croissanwich & Lox Bagels for Breakfast are delightful But what make it better is that GreenGoddess Sauce It's bomb The Lavander Latte & Their Fall Latte Are insanely Amazing Alex & John are the best When it comes to know How to make a great Coffee!! Im a regular Customer, the staff already know Exactly what i want. Definitely a place to enjoy

For my entrée, I had the grilled pork chops, which were cooked perfectly. The pistachio gremolata added a unique burst of flavor that really elevated the dish. My friends ordered a variety of pasta dishes, which I tried and tasted good, and everyone enjoyed their meals. We ended with dessert and tried both the traditional tiramisu, which was very good, and the budino--a butterscotch pudding with pistachio gelato--which completely stole the show. It was absolutely amazing. Overall, a great dining experience, and I'd definitely return.

Overall it was good, but the combination needed better balance. The gorgonzola had a pretty aggressive bite, and paired with the saltiness of the prosciutto it became a little much. There were some greens underneath, and once I incorporated those into each bite, they mellowed everything out considerably. I actually think the greens needed to be treated as part of the dish rather than essentially garnish. For my entrée I had the special, a risotto with clams and octopus. The octopus was easily the best part. The clams were extremely small and pretty average, to the point that I'm not sure they added much to the dish at all. The risotto itself was also surprisingly bland and not particularly enjoyable on its own. Mixed with the octopus, however, it worked much better and became a genuinely enjoyable bite. That's ultimately where the dish felt a little uneven: the strongest component was carrying the rest of the plate rather than everything working together. Service was fine when I arrived, but became noticeably slower once the outdoor seating filled up. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor sections, but appeared to have only two servers, with the hostess also serving and a barback supporting the operation. Once the patio got busy, most of the staff's attention shifted outside and the indoor dining room received considerably less attention. Nobody seemed lazy or inattentive individually. It simply looked understaffed for the number of tables they were trying to cover. One additional server during the busy period probably would have made a substantial difference. And, admittedly a minor thing, an Italian restaurant having limoncello but no amaretto was disappointing. Nothing here was terrible. The appetizer had good ideas, the octopus was quite good, and the meal had several enjoyable moments. The food and service were just inconsistent enough that I couldn't quite call it a strong three-star experience, but it was close. I'd put it around 2.75 stars, which I'm comfortable rounding to three.

Of course, we did what we always do; showed up without a reservation haha... It was packed, and the hostess told us the was no way they could seat us. Defeated, we went outside ans sat on a bench trying to figure out our next move. Then the unimaginable happened. One of the people running the floor passed us outside, started chatting with us, and said, "let me double-check". A few minutes later, he came back and got us a table! He make sure we understood that we only had it for a short window bc they needed it back at a certain time -- but we got at least hour and a half to enjoy it so we were THRILLED. To us that was more than enough. He really went out of his way to make it happen, and honestly wish I remembered his name so I could give him the credit he deserves. And the service from there was outstanding. Even though we knew we had a time restriction, we never felt rushed or hurried for a second. Everything felt relaxed, attentive, and perfectly paced, which made them whole experience even better. Once we sat down, we started ordering as quickly as possible. The grilled clams were insanely good -- flavorful and with just the right little kick. The Nduja & sungold tomato toast was surprise favorite. The tomatoes were so juicy, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. Simple, but SO good. The little gem salad was fresh, crunchy and exactly what we needed in between all the richer dishes. For pastas, I had the mafaldini with parmigiano, one of their signatures, and it was delicious. BUT... I have to give the win to my husband's pick, rigatoni alla diavola. I know they are completely different dishes, and Im usually a white-sauce kind of girl, but there was something about that bold, spicy flavor that just HIT THE SPOT. And dessert... The vanilla soft serve gelato and the warm rasberry tart together were the perfect combination -- creamy, warm, fruity, and just the right way to finish our lucky dinner. Lilia was absolutely worth the wait and definitely lived up to the hype. Another Brooklyn spot checked off the list -- and one I'd happily go back to.

For starters: the bread was good (hard to mess up though?) the squash was fine, and I wish the tomatoes had been heirloom or thicker cut. For mains: the sheep's milk agnolotti was not for me, it was oddly sweet, I'm honestly not sure why it's so popular. The rigatoni and gnocchi were very good - the rigatoni was perfectly al dente paired with good flavor and the texture of the gnocchi was perfect. Highly recommend ordering these. Dessert: they definitely don't skimp on the dessert, we each got our own but the gelato options were definitely shareable. They also had amaro options which I always appreciate but didn't get this time. The space was a little cramped indoors though that didn't bother me as much as the temperature. It was a really hot summer day and I don't think they had air conditioning? Or if they did it definitely was not at an ideal temperature as I didn't feel like there was much air circulation.

I can't say enough great things about the decor the ambience and imagining all of the past goings on in this restaurant. It's been watching over Brooklyn for well over 100 years now! That in itself is a Herculean feat! From what I was told it was very popular with the mob as they say... And that's why the kitchen which is at the very back of the restaurant has full glass windows so that you can see exactly what's going on in there. I guess some of these mob guys were paranoid and rightly so consider considering their history. I arrived with my friend on a Wednesday evening about 6 PM and there were some scattered tables but by 7 PM it was mobbed (pun intended ) in there!! our waiter was affable and patient and a quite enjoyable fellow. As a sidenote, you will not find any female servers they are all male which l lends to the old school vibe in my opinion. My friend ordered the lamb chops with broccoli Rabe. He enjoyed them but did mention that though they had great flavor one of them was slightly tough... It happens... My meal was pasta with Bolognese sauce with a dollop of fresh ricotta on top. It was delicious actually the sauce was excellent. I would've liked to have a different pasta shape but they did not have it. No biggie. I could really say the food was very good but it was not excellent but for me that was not an issue as I fell in love with the place itself. The service was excellent and the ambience was fantastic! I would definitely return again and I highly recommend it if you have never been you must at least go one time!!
