10/10 breakfast sandwich. Always a line but so worth it. I think about it frequently and would recommend you all come and taste it for yourself.

maple lavender latte
Jennifer L.

Trust me that I say this place offers the best breakfast sandwiches in all of NYC. I've tried almost every one & my favorite has got to be the Fling + impossible sausage. The homemade poppy bun is deliciously buttery & just super well made with all the ingredients. Amazing coffee as well. Workers there are super friendly & food comes out fast!

No-cha bagel
Leemor Y.

Each time I come back here I like it more. I looove their specialty coffees. I will go out of my way to try them. This time around I got the maple and palo santo latte and it was perfect. I've previously had some latte with orange shavings which I thought was initially an odd combination but it was so delicious. I also had the pleasure of trying their bagel sandwiches - and tbh I wasn't expecting much since I've had so many bagels but I really enjoyed these ones. The bagels were perfectly warm and salty, and the fillings worked perfectly (also great for a hangover). I got the egg and cheese with impossible sausage and the no-cha. This spot is now one of my go tos when I'm in the area.

Coffee tonic, salt n peppa jelly sandwich
Michelle L.

The Blue Light Speak Cheesy is the spot to go if you're craving a solid breakfast sandwich. Admittedly, the Salt n Peppa bagel is the only sandwich I've tried, because I liked it so much the first time that I got it again on my second visit. It's the perfect combo of egg, cheese, a little bit of greens (arugula) to feel slightly healthy, and some oomph from the pepper jelly. Maybe someday I will try one of their other menu items, since the menu does change by the day, but for now I'm perfectly happy eating the Salt n Peppa every chance I get. The space is pretty cozy, best suited for small groups, and it gets busy on weekend mornings. In the summer they have additional seating outside.

Went on a saturday and got the bagel sandwiches. We split two sandwiches, and I loved how unique the combinations of toppings were. The bagel itself wasn't too special other than the fact that it's on the thinner side, but honestly, I liked that because I could really taste the toppings. Their coffee was pretty decent too. There are both indoor and outdoor seatings

Cheerful breakfast option in Greenpoint that has indefinitely taken over the former zero-proof Getaway bar's space. They have a rotating menu of options, with tacos available on Wednesdays and bagel sandwiches on Saturday. I had the "Salt n' Pepa" sandwich with scrambled egg, crispy onions, and a very sweet chili jelly which reminded me of a certain infamous fried rice cooking video. The crispy onions were a nice touch, although next time I'd probably opt for a more savory option without the jam.

maple lavender and biscoff latte
Jenny Z.

Rushed here on a thursday morning to try their infamous breakfast burritos and they did not disappoint! The ingredients are so fresh, service is fast, and everything was so filling as well. Here's a rating of everything we got: -breakfast burrito (4/5): really really solid breakfast burrito that tasted really clean. The tortilla was really high quality, eggs were soft, and potatoes were crispy. If I were to be a little bit critical, I wish the exterior was a bit more crispy and there was a bit more of a crunch factor in the burrito, like hash browns, to make the ingredients blend together better. Overall though, the burrito was top tier. -biscoff latte (5/5): phenomenal latte, not too sweet at all because no added sugar, and so refreshing. I was surprised how much this latte blew me away -maple lavender latte (4/5): also good with orange zest... slightly sweeter, but comforting if you get it hot. Has a zesty more citrusy flavor if you are into that. So happy I tried this place. Would definitely come back!

Green eggs and jam
Diana E.

So much to love. Green eggs and jam - pesto, goat cheese, and blackberry on an onion poppyseed bun. Delish coffee and good music taboot. A fabulous way to start the day.

Tangerine juice
Anthony P.

RATING: 8.5/10 Reallly solid breakfast option. Heard about this place for a while and finally got to come here, and while I was hoping to catch them on a breakfast burrito day, I had the pleasure of trying their breakfast tacos instead BREAKFAST TACOS Really really good texture with two types of tortilla so you get a bit of softness and a bitch of crunch like a better gordita crunch (I hate to compare to taco bell). really well decorated, full tacos with soyrizo which I was skeptical of but it did have a good flavor and i wasn't upset at all that it was vegetarian. Good texture-wise. Would def have again. Quality is noticeable here! TANGERINE JUICE Tastes fresh, and really concentrated in flavor. How you would like juice to be, and on the sweeter side. This place is one of the spots in greenpoint that keeps me coming back! CATEGORY : EXCELLENT (terrible , bad, ok, good, great, EXCELLENT)

a cup of coffee
Albert H.

I stopped by Blue Light Speak Cheesy on a Saturday to try some of their bagel sandwiches and they truly did not disappoint! My wife and I tried the Bagel w/ egg & cheese ($9.50), the Marisa explains it all ($12), as well as the Honey pistachio latte ($6.50). Everything was delicious and the latte was one of the best I've had. I can't wait to come back to try their tacos and breakfast burritos. I hope this pop-up stays up for a lot longer. Also, the service is so friendly and accommodating. They also have a self-service water station and restroom.

Breakfast Burrito (Add Avocado)
Evan N.

Made an effort to come here on a Thursday morning before work to get a breakfast burrito and wow was it worth it! It was expensive because after adding avocado for an additional charge it was $15.50 but damn was it worth it. I legit will think about it. The honey pistachio latte was made with pistachio milk and didn't disappoint! The place is a cute vibey place with everyone in the staff being so kind and warm and playing exceptional throwback music! Tons of seating outside! I loved it here! It made me happy!

Burrito Bun Breakfast Sandwich (~$14)
Aya E.

Ordered: Burrito Bun Breakfast Sandwich (~$14): pasture raised scrambled eggs, organic spinach, avocado, Cabot pepper jack, chipotle aioli & crunchy lime red cabbage on an onion poppy bun Aya's take: What a killer of a breakfast sandwich! I was in the area and this was the 3rd place I came to; the others were closed (it's a holiday weekend so I understand). The Blue Light Speak Cheesy has a few tables and almost all of them were full. We were able to snag the last available table while I ordered at the counter. I realize they serve different sandwiches on different days of the week (I went on a Sunday) which could motivate people to come back on other days. On the other hand, it could be disappointing if they're not serving what you want on that particular day. Anyway, onto the sandwich! The Burrito Bun Breakfast Sandwich was so well-balanced. From the soft scrambled eggs to the tangy and vibrant red cabbage to the flavor of the pepper jack to the freshness of the spinach and avocado, it was everything you could want in a breakfast sandwich. I think the only thing that would make it better is if it had a layer of crunch (like a hash brown). Nonetheless, it was so filling and hit the spot. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area and I can't wait to come back.

herb bun
Nadia C.

BEASTED! Such a perfect spot! Everything about this experience today was perfect! We lucked out on finding parking, beating the rush AND scoring a table. We got their sandwich's which were flavor packed and two coffees that were beautifully garnished. This small little joint was packed and busy but the staff still found time to check on us and explain the menu. Loved the big open windows and would highly recommend to anyone in Greenpointe!

Aside from beer, is there wine served? Thank you

Hi Alex! Since we are a pop up we have multiple locations but this one in Fullerton is open on the first Friday of the month from 6-11pm. Our next one is June 7th. Hope to see you there!

What is gluten free there to eat ? What are my options?

Hi Chris! I have gluten free bread so you can choose any of the 5 sandwiches on our rotating menu. Since gluten free bread is always so small I make 2 for an order. Hope to…

The meal is prepared outside next to the bar. There's bench seating with large TVs around the area as well. They were playing the World Cup, and once that was over, they had music playing. It took about 20 minutes to prepare, and it was absolutely delicious. The fish was cooked perfectly! I wish I had another piece right now! The cabbage slaw was good, the focaccia was buttery, and even the berries were delicious. The whole meal was thoughtfully put together. It's simple yet full of balanced flavors, and I'm so glad I got to have this experience. My friend and I sat outside, enjoyed a glass of wine (they only sell wine and beer), and it was the perfect day with great company.

Founded by Mason Acevedo, it is distinguished by its fresh, simple, and flavorful whole fish, served with sides like house-made focaccia, slaw, and seasonal berries. These dishes are often prepared in front of customers at various locations, such as the backyard of the Troost bar in Brooklyn. Before visiting any eatery, I make sure to research it thoroughly and follow reputable sources like New York Times Cooking. Piscator was regarded as one of the hottest pop-ups in New York, which immediately piqued my interest. I was determined to try it and, after months of effort, finally secured a reservation--then another the following week. Hotplate's notifications alert you 10 minutes before sales open, but be prepared: over 300 people are in line waiting for an order. My first experience was at Little Island in Manhattan. Upon arrival, I provided my name, and my fish was cooked to order. I had the pleasure of speaking with Mason, who was outgoing and friendly. When the fish arrived, it looked stunning. Its presentation emphasized simplicity and quality, with flavors of lemon, seasonings, and thyme that complemented the fish's pure taste. The Chimichurri side was vibrant and freshly made, with bold garlic notes that enhanced the dish. The slaw, drizzled with blood orange juice and miso, was exquisitely fresh, balancing citrus and umami without overpowering. The rosemary focaccia bread was fluffy, fragrant, and pillowy, clearly infused with rosemary. The berries served as a perfect, refreshing palate cleanser. On my second visit, the pop-up was at Edy's Grocers in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Mason collaborated with Edy's Grocers, a Lebanese market owned by Chef Edouard (Edy) Massih, renowned for Middle Eastern imports, house-made mezze, baked goods, and modern Lebanese cuisine. This time, Piscator prepared a delicious Branzino, while Chef Edouard crafted a remarkable hummus dip and a mint salad with corn, cucumbers, and tomatoes, seasoned to perfection. The fish was even better the second time, and the mint salad was incredibly fresh and cooling--ideal for a hot day. The hummus was exceptional, with complex flavors that invigorated the palate. The entire meal was a culinary symphony. I would gladly make a two-hour trip again to experience this pop-up, as it's unmistakably special and destined to grow into something even bigger.

Be sure to make a reservation, as this spot is popular, especially on a nice weekend. We recently had a weekend brunch at one of the tables outside. Everything on the menu sounded good, but we decided on a couple of their specials. Started with the razor clams, which were cooked perfectly and topped with fresh herbs. We also had the fried soft shell crab sandwich with the side of Caesar salad. The sandwich was well balanced with the crunchy crab and herby aioli. The Caesar was light and refreshing. The fish and chips came with two fried filets of white fish and a basket of classic fries. The fish was lightly battered and flakey. The house made tartar sauce was a good complement to it.

Their HH deals are pretty solid -- $2 East Coast Oysters, $10 select wines and $6 beer special. Grabbed a glass of Sauvignon Blanc as I waited for my friend to arrive, which they were very patient and accommodating for. As soon as my friend arrived, we ordered a 1/2 dozen West Coast oysters, which were not on the happy hour menu, and several dozens of the HH East Coast oysters. Our server did an excellent job explaining the origin of the oysters as well as the specials of the day. The West Coast oysters were Kumamoto (California), while the East Coast selection were called Bad Boys (from Nova Scotia, Canada). Normally I'm a big fan of West coast oysters, but the Bad Boys were delicious! They were plump with a bold ocean brine & crisp finish. My friend also ordered a cup of clam chowder, which he thoroughly enjoyed. One of the best oyster HH spots I've come across, because it seems to be harder finding good ones lately. Would definitely come back to try the other seafood dishes.

Anyone with kids know with a young child, things can get dicey. You won't know at any moments time when you need to stop, drop, and roll. My girl was pretty calm and great the whole time, didn't expect anything less, but as usual, Kora was CROWDED. I felt hopeless about getting a table and I cannot compete with the adults with no kids, but I decided to take a chance. I got 2 pastries and a drink to sit and enjoy. After I paid, I look behind me, and of course, no seats. But then the employee who was also the door person/greeter, saw my distress, heard my concern, and then helped me get a table outside. I expressed my concern that I wouldn't be able to hear my name for my drink, and I cannot leave my daughter outside. She insisted that she would service my table. The employee got me my drink, napkins, utensils, and told me if I needed anything else, just ask her. It's the service like this that makes me feel not limited whenever I want to go to Kora, and I am very inclined to go back when I am solo parenting.

I wouldn't recommend their matcha as it's pretty watered down, but their coffee is solid! There's a lot of seating inside and it's a pretty open space if you want to just chill. I'm giving this 3/5 stars solely because we did not have a good customer experience this time around. I didn't get their name, but the person helping us out with grabbing our pastries was pretty rude and not very helpful. We ordered two chocolate chip cookies to go and asked of we can have them in separate bags since my friend and I don't live together and we were taking them to go. He responds with "you know it's easier to carry in just one box right?" to which we explained our situation. He finally grabs two separate bags, puts the cookies in, then says "here's your two bags, enjoy" in a rude tone while giving us a smug look. My other friend came and asked for a to-go box since she ordered 3 pastries and definitely wasn't going to finish them all in one sitting. He refused to give her a to go box since he said "she's eating for here" when she clearly told him that she won't be finishing all in store and will be taking most of it to-go. After we finished dining in, she had to get back in line just to ask for a to go box since he wouldn't give her one originally. Overall, would come back for any seasonal pastries they may have, but hesitant because of the unpleasant service we received.

I wanted to love it so much especially since TikTok critic/MMA fighter Keith Lee visited them in 2023, but my experience was not like his. I want to say that online reviews are almost about accurate. They were out of cold salads and collard greens which was an issue for other customers at times as well. No problem, they were super helpful and offered an alternative but not a good one. I had steamed vegetables that mashed in my mouth like mashed potatoes when I took a bite. I did end up going to another spot for collard greens and potato salad because you can't have soul-food without that. I had the rib dinner with mac n cheese and yams and a tiny piece of complimentary cornbread. The ribs definitely taste amazing but they don't take off the membrane in the back which is slimy and gross. I left that part behind. The yams were sweet and good BUT.....that mac n cheese is NOT soul-food Mac n cheese. Here's the thing I figured out, they use such little cheese but season the noodles very well that you don't truly notice unless you love mac n cheese, which I do, so I noticed it lacked so much cheese but had seasoned noodles. The rib dinner was a 3/5 because ribs were great but sides needed help. I had rice and peas as an additional side and fried wings. The wings were ATROCIOUS! I ate the smallest one and didn't eat the rest. How can you serve such huge feathered wings like that? It was a nightmare. The feathers being on it turned me off. This tells me they don't make their food with care, they move quick to be one and done and I want my food cooked with love and care. They were also frozen wings that were thawed and seasoned, I know the difference. The rice and peas were okay 3/5 as well. Overall the food was not worth the hype. Customer service was beautiful for sure but the food was not it.
