    Really great spot for seasonal coffees / iced teas, as well as sandwiches! I came here for coffee with a friend on Saturday and thought there was plenty of seating (though it was drizzling while we were there, so not the best indicator of busyness/ability to grab a seat). Note, there's both indoor and outdoor seating but there isn't AC indoors so it can get stuffy! Service is so friendly and kind. I really love how creative their drinks menu is, and includes summer items like a slushie tahini cold brew, passion fruit lemonade, rose latte, miso brown sugar latte, and fresh squeezed watermelon juice. I got the passion fruit lemonade (a bit of a secret menu item), and it was very fruity and refreshing! Drinks run a bit expensive but the menu was so creative and special that I thought it was fine. I'd definitely come back to try out their sandwiches and more of their drinks!

    amazing fries to go with the amazing burger

    the vibe is cool and calm with nice employees and the best food you'll ever have. literally everything about this place is magnificent. They even do stuff like pilates for Palestine among other things. photo below. if I could I would give this place 10/5

    Fried chicken sandwich with fries
    Kaya E.

    Textbook is a really fun cafe/coffee shop right across from the Brooklyn hospital. Right now their outside seating is insulated but I'm sure during the summer when you can walk right up to the window to place an order this place is booming. The exterior art and their website are super fun. Everything about this place is visually satisfying and child-like. Here's how my visit recently went: Fried chicken sandwich w/ fries (14 for sandwich, 3 for fries I think) * fried chicken was juicy, very crispy too. * the bread was not my favorite at all. It's on regular toast with a very thick and crunchy crust. Crunchy to the point where you might cut your gums lol. I wish that they used a softer bread to go with this. * fries well seasoned *homemade hot sauce was good The IPA I had (forgot the name) * delicious, they had a great assortment of beers to choose from and even a to-go section Customer service * The team is super friendly * The vibes were great inside. They were playing new SZA and a whole bunch of other artists I love. * Food came out quick and space was very clean *wifi is booming if you're here getting work done and they have a good amount of plugs. Thanks Textbook staff, hope to see you all soon for another IPA :)

    This place is the new Hot Spot! You will not be disappointed. You will only be disappointed that you didn't get here sooner, ha! The staff is super friendly and the location is perfect. Plenty of seating inside and out. Huge window to just walk up to and place your order. Upon reviewing the menu I noticed how unique it was. My husband and I each had a beer. Great beer list by the way! He had the chicken sandwich and I had the Persian breakfast. The bread to the Persian breakfast was a great thickness and nothing was tearing. You know what I mean when the bread tears and everything falls out. Not the case here. The cucumbers were crisp and the feta ratio was perfect. This was a very light and refreshing breakfast. The chicken sandwich had a really nice soft and toasted bread. The chicken was not heavy at all for being fried. These both had great flavor and very fresh. I can't wait to come back and try more things on the menu!

    What a cute coffee shop! First time here and the coffee was good I had my very first miso latte! I have to admit I was a little scared at first but it actually pretty tasty, we got an egg and bacon sandwich and didn't realize the food we got was vegan but it was very yummy as a none vegan I approve! The prices are pretty pricey but it was nice to try the spot! If you are vegan and looking for some yummy breakfast this is your spot! Or if your a coffee lover this is your spot! :)

    Frozen Tahini Cold Brew

    A super cute spot - right next to fort Greene park and perfect for photos. I got the frozen tahini cold brew and it was yummy. I would come back to try their other offerings

    Super cute spot to have a quick meal or snack or drink right across from the Brooklyn Hospital. Ideal if it's nice out, because the outdoor seating in front is great. Not as much space inside. Order at the window. Friendly staff. My egg & cheese (w/ added tempeh bacon) sandwich came in a fantastic wrap. It's insulated inside and tightly wrapped. Kudos! Not crazy about the frozen tahini cold brew - ice is too chunky for my taste, but I could imagine why others love it. Lots of funky cool drinks (hot & cold) here.

    Steak and Gruyere Sandwich
    Sean K.

    Relatively new spot in the Fort Greene area, but it's already big on character. The cafe and staff are great, drinks are on point, and the food is solid as well. If you're hungry look no further than the Steak and Gruyere sandwich. It's my personal favorite dish so far, and honestly one of the best sandwiches I've had in the neighborhood. I can also recommend the espresso pork belly sandwich if you're in the mood for a breakfast sandwich.

    I LOVE working out of this spot! Starting with the food, it's been cool to watch this menu be fine-tuned since it opened. I had their salads in the beginning and now they have a delicious burger that you can pair with equally delicious Tunisian fries. The drinks range from cold brew to rosé on tap and you can easily end up cycling through said range because they stay open much later than a regular "cafe". This spot has been fantastic since it opened and I'm glad to see it in the area.

He is the best mixologist in NYC. He danced with lemon slices cutting through pours of clear liquids from heights. He tossed and shook, and was precise and caring. A true artist. David made our night. The only reason I would ever walk back into this place is to sit at the bar and let David mesmerize me. FOOD: Broccoli rabe was fresh, but I needed a steak knife to cut through it. It was very al dente. Not cut properly, which is to cut crosses in the stems. Salad was fresh and crisp, high quality fennel and greens. Lovely. Agnoletti was divine. Home made. Focaccia very good with subtle flavors and just the right crust. Olive oil, good. The front of house staff was lovely, two ladies, and a friendly guy. Super lovely. Treated us like friends. Also the busboys were all gentlemen. I loved them. They brushed crumbs off the table with panache. The only complaint is the waiter was robotic, and issued rule after rule. No smile. EX: It was a freezing night. We wanted to order appetizer's first, and have a chance to look at the menu. He couldn't do that. "I need the whole order." Then one of us wanted to order the pre fixe dinner. "You can't do that. You both have to order it." He was very cold, a robot. To enjoy ourselves, we had to push through the horrible treatment. Too bad for the waiter, when I asked about the special pasta, he butchered the pronunciation, giving me a soft pitch to teach him Italian. I blasted him. C'est la vie.

Fresh truffles on top, giant block of cheese on the side... bro, it wasn't a dish -- it was a flex. I took one bite and immediately understood why Italians talk with their hands. Closed the night with the ricotta cheesecake -- soft, rich, and honestly one of the few things sweeter than me. Place has the vibe on lock. Decor? Classy. Environment? Smooth. Staff? Incredibly welcoming... like "you sure you don't work here?" level friendly. Perfect spot for a date or a meetup -- trust me, you'll look fancy without even trying. foodieinthebigapple2025

    I stopped by Brooklyn Burgers & Beer during a work trip to quell a burger craving. Menu looked…read morepromising but unfortunately it just didn't quite hit the mark for me. Let's start with the good - the service and ambiance were on point. I went on a Sunday evening around 7pm. It was busy inside, but since I was a solo diner I was seated immediately by the bar. The servers were friendly and attentive. Probably 3-4 different people checked in multiple times throughout the meal. Where I struggle is with the actual burger itself. As a non-resident New Yorker, for me $22.50 is a lot to spend on a burger and fries. It needs to rock my world at that price point. And it just didn't. I got the B&B Burger. The onion ring tasted like it had been refried a second time to make my burger. The bread was crumbly like it was on the verge of going stale. The actual beef patty itself was decent - good flavor. Usually I can overlook an okay burger if the fries are top notch, but these fries were under-seasoned and also 'just okay'. I also got a side of Chicken Tenders. These were good - no complaints here. I really wanted to like this spot, but not sure this would be a return visit for me.

    After my diabolical 7th Street Burger faux pas a few minutes ago, I had to switch gears totally and…read morerevamp my lunch today. My friend was as turned off as me due to what happened (read my previous review) and he headed for the proverbial "Hills". This left me solo and hungry. I started walking northwest knowing I'd find something pretty good. Low and behold Brooklyn Burger and Beer looked like just what I wanted, so I walked in, grabbed a stool at the bar and jumped into their menu. What a difference a 1/2 mile makes! This place was perfect and its menu was choke full of bargains and bonuses. This place was cute; I mean the bar was front and center and was very impressive but the table seating was charming too. Their lunch menu has a great "build your on burger" which i had a blast doing: Burger Cheddar Cheese Bacon Grilled onions Lettuce Tomato Mayo / BBQ con The service was exceptional, the ambience was very "Taverny [sic]" and my lunch was delicious!

As I said before, this is a community spot. Everyone here is relaxed, having a long, leisurely, European style meal. I had a small board, chef's choice. I requested a fromage board, but got a charcuterie board . . . and that's okay, as I was lucky enough to get some tasty prosciutto. The cheeses ranged from chunky and savory to creamy to tangy. Went great with the honey and French bread. Most menu cocktails are average, but there is an "off the menu" selection you can ask for (mostly bourbon based, owner/bar tender creations). I enjoyed working with my server to get try some more unique choices. Between the charcuterie board, the bourbon drinks, and the boeuf bourguignon, the meal was great. I will say the boeuf bourguignon wasn't quite as wowing as last time . . . no pearl onions or carrots . . . but still good. I'm pretty sure the menu has changed or is maybe smaller. But no matter . . . the mood and the welcoming atmosphere and lack of crowds makes up for this. I think I might return and try the French onion soup. I'm sure it's killer.
