I got the Brooklyn Tree burger with sweet potato fries. The fries were exactly what I wanted, I wish it was slightly crispier but other than that they were amazing! The burger was good too. Service was good and food came out fast. There aren't too many tables inside but it's a good size. There's a single stall bathroom in the back.

Originally planned to go to another brunch spot with a long waitlist around 11AM, so we decided to come here as we saw the good reviews and called ahead to make sure they had seats available. We came around 11:15 so just a little after opening so there were definitely seats open! However around noon tables filled up, seats are limited so would recommend coming early. Pretty much everything we ordered we LOVED! We also got the Buy 1 Get 1 happy hour mimosas. The workers were so sweet and giving us other recommendations to do in the area. Would 100% come back, still thinking about that grilled cheese and tomato soup!!

Chicken Schnitzel Sandwich with mashed potatoes and Iced Ginger Mint Tea (unsweetened)

I enjoyed this meal so much. I was about to meet up with some friends at a bar and wanted to grab a quick bite beforehand. Lucky me that I stumbled upon this gem! The Chicken Schnitzel Sandwich was massive but the ingredients were so fresh that I didn't feel heavy or tired after eating it. The mashed potatoes tasted like sin in only the best of ways. The ginger mint tea was delicious and again, just so fresh. Staff were kind when offering suggestions and obviously take pride in the food they serve here. 10/10 would recommend!

Such a great experience. Food was great. Service was excellent, well attended, Gustavo took care of us. Definitely will be coming back!

Seekers of healthy food, listen up, because Brooklyn Tree is a cut above other eateries. You may not expect much from the generic name and no frills interior. Their simple menu of sandwiches, plates, and salads even feels uninspired, but the execution is actually flawless. I'm in the area often for comedy nights and bar hangs, and to offset the effects of the alcohol I often seek out a hearty bowl of greens. The Brooklyn Tree has yet to disappoint me. The roasted pumpkin salad is my favorite on the menu, with its crispy chickpeas, red onion, artichoke, pumpkin, and tahini dressing on a bed of greens. The portion if you dine in is especially large, and made even better with a veggie burger or salmon burger as an added protein. I love pairing this with their amazing sweet potato fries, and in the evenings you can even get a beer, wine, or some simple cocktails to go with your order. You order and pay at the register, and there are only a few tables with metal chairs in the space, so note that the vibe is very casual, but for a quick stop before I head out to the bars in the neighborhood, I think Brooklyn Tree is a solid, healthy option.

Grilled Cheese Sandwich Cup of Tomato Soup

I'm outing myself here, but I was on the hunt for brunch when I tried to go to Champ's around the corner. The wait was quite long, and I was already hangry. We stopped in here as a Hail Mary and became BLESSED. They had just opened on a Friday morning. Very quaint place, with indoor and outdoor (covered) seating on the street. The staff was incredible, which was a precursor to how amazing the food ended up being. I wasn't expecting it to be bad, but I was blown away at how great it was. In sweet, grungy Brooklyn, we had the best brunch/lunch. Ample vegetarian options. Honestly, such a solid brunch option.

The food was very good and reasonably priced - lots of veggie options, and the service was very nice. We got the pumpkin salad (4/5) and the veggie meatloaf with a side of sweet potato fries and tomato soup (very rich and delicious) (4/5). The ambiance wasnt my favorite - bright lights and basic set up. Might be more of a takeout place, but a solid one at that.

Full Breakfast

When meeting a friend in Brooklyn for a Brunch hang, we had 30 minutes to spare and grabbed a seat here at Brooklyn Tree. The Brooklyn Tree had a BOGO mimosa deal and I appreciated its cozy and casual atmosphere. If you want a nice, small spot to catch up with someone over a rustic and simple breakfast-this is the spot. They also offer smoothies, coffee and baked goods but their breakfast is wholesome and simple. Came by a second time and got the Full Breakfast. Ambience could only be improved by having light music

Meat Loaf Sandwich
Bre Y.

The Brooklyn Tree dishes out delicious food with high quality ingredients. I have yet to be disappointed with anything I've had. I have eaten both in the restaurant and delivery. The meatloaf sandwich is my favorite thing. Homemade, moist, flavorful meatloaf, topped with a red pepper glaze, gruyere, pickles, and greens on ciabatta. I highly recommend. The pernil plate is also excellent. Flavorful and moist. The sugar snap slaw compliments very it well. The cheddar mash as a side is hearty and well seasoned. The chicken schnitzel sandwich is also a great option! Crunchy, moist, and flavorful schnitzel on ciabatta topped with sugar snap slaw, cheddar, and a honey mustard vinaigrette! Finally I really enjoy the cheese puffs with jam sauce. Light and slightly crisp with a light ricotta filling. Definitely check it out!

It's a great takeout spot, but the ambiance inside is also so lovely, with friendly service and just good vibes. I can't explain why but if you need to sit down and debrief with a friend, this place is perfect. They have smoothies and some canned beer happy hour deals too. My two gripes: 1. The food is DELICIOUS & well priced but I'm not a fan of whatever oil they fry their stuff in 2. Whoever does the chalkboard menu art, for the love of all things good in the world, WHY are the fruit options under the smoothie menu written in the wrong colors?? I mean a pink avocado, green ginger, yellow cucumber, red carrots... I dig the rainbow but could you have tried to match at least some of them?? All jokes aside this is a great spot!

Coquito
Tye R.

Stopped by a Brooklyn Tree for a quick bite before closing. The falafel burger is truly was dreams are made of. Crispy exterior with a pillowy soft interior and the sauces are *chefs kiss*. A pleasant surprise was learning that they have coquito for the holiday season. It was some of the best coquito I've ever had. If you're in the area, this is a spot worth checking out. I'll definitely be back for the falafel burger because they have no competition with that one.

I had a meal at Bernie's. It started off with about a 30-45 minute wait, but considering it's close…read moreto McCarren Park, we were able to just walk around there and kill time. Once we got seated, we got to see the very old-school, fun atmosphere inside, and were seated at a very comfortable booth, which is great for a group! We got the baby back ribs, eggplant parm, Caesar salad, vinegar chicken, and brownie sundae. The Caesar salad was all right, nothing amazing, but still done well! Just didn't blow me away. The vinegar chicken was awesome! The chicken was incredibly tender and juicy, and it was packed with flavor. The sauce was to die for. The eggplant Parmesan was also great! It was executed perfectly. The sauce had great flavor, and the eggplant was tender, yet crispy on the outside. The ribs were also great. They had a nice tangy barbecue sauce and were cooked very well. The brownie sundae looked awesome. However, it didn't blow me away. I felt like the mint ice cream was good, but I wish there were more brownie pieces in there. The service was also great and super friendly, and I like that they have crayons at the table so you can draw on them. I would definitely recommend this place if you're craving some great American food!

we ordered three items:…read more 1. cheeseburger with fries 2. caesar salad 3. chicken parm all were excellent. I loved that the cheeseburger had crispy lettuce, pickles, tomatoes and cheese. The mix of a thousand island type sauce with ketchup made this burger a 10/10. The sesame bun gives the burger a great softness with all the other textures. + the fries gave me the feeling of an elevated mcdonald's fry! caesar salad was perfect. Lots of lettuce, not overly anchovy and just the croutons were soft and crisp at the same time? very much enjoyed how big of a portions all of these items were. chicken parm sauce was tangy and had good flavoring with the perfect melted cheese on top of the soft but crisp edges of the chicken. i'd highly recc all three items we got! service was quick once we got seated and was nice to be outside in the warm weather.

Delicious delivery from here!…read more My fiancée and I shared two Pitanga Açaí Bowls and each had a Pao de Queijo. The acai bowls were yummy and had a good mix of everything and this is a solid choice. I loved the coconut flakes on them! Next time I hope to try some of the others on the menu, as they have a variety and they can be customized a bit. The Pao de Queijo breads were almost shaped like muffins and had an interesting, texture but were super cheesy and I would definitely order again. Overall this is a great option in Brooklyn for delicious and healthy food!

Casual, new-age, cafe with a focus on health and wellness. Glad they had seats open on a Sunday…read moremorning. Chicken sandwich was delicious. Chicken was flavorful and moist, the focaccia was decent (needed more indicators of a real focaccia (dimpled indentations on top, olive oil forward exterior, etc) but it was good. It's also very filling so it's worth the $22. I would have preferred a whole grilled chicken patty instead of chopped grilled chicken but flavor wise it's not a big deal. Fries are classic shoestring fries. Akin to a McDonald's fry in appearance but less oily and salty (good thing). Lattes were good but nothing special. Pão de queijo (cheesy bread) was also very good. Classic flavor. Nothing that stands out though. Would return, but it's not a first choice.

Hush puppies were the best hush puppies I've ever had in my life and I don't even like hush…read morepuppies. The butter helped. Food was delish and service was very pleasant. The restaurant itself was very small and plain.

I have heard a lot about Stowaway and wanted to come here and see for myself what the fuss is…read moreabout. I also heard of their $1 happy hour oysters, which is always a draw for me, so dining here was a natural choice. The establishment looks pretty unassuming from the outside, but as soon as you walk in, you are transported in time to a cozy, vintage themed café with a small bar and a few tastefully scattered tables. I glanced over the raw oysters on another table and was very unimpressed by their miniature size. Also, unlike what their website states, the happy hour oysters are actually $1.50 each, which I found slightly annoying and maybe they should work on updating their website. Instead of going the raw route, I ordered the charbroiled oysters off the happy hour menu to start. I also heard their hush puppies are really famous and so I wanted to give them a try as well. For my main entrée, I saw another patron with a chicken sandwich and I ordered it. The hush puppies were really good, slightly on the sweet side with a fluffy corn batter, crunchy exterior. The dipping sauce that came on the side was actually a molasses butter, which was to die for. I do think that the hush puppies were a little bit on the greasier side, I could see that the insides had soaked in some oil which is never good for a fried item. They should probably work on frying these at a better temperature to keep the dish light and not as greasy. The chicken sandwich I was expecting from the looks of it for the chicken fillet to be meatier and thicker, but, when I bit into it, it was a lot more breading than I thought it would be with very little chicken. The side of pickles that came with the sandwich were absolutely delicious and really held a sandwich together because all that grease really needed a solid pickle to cut through it and these pickles did exactly that. I would love if they served even more of those on the side with the sandwich. The salad that came on the side of my sandwich was bright, well seasoned and delicious and not drowning and olive oil, which I appreciated. The charbroiled oysters were honestly a disappointment. This is a dish that probably would've worked well if they were using larger size oysters, but the topping to oyster ratio was just really off. The whole thing was extremely salty and the sauces on the oysters completely overpowered the oyster flavor. These were served with sourdough bread, which was a nice touch because the bread carries the sauce from the oysters very well. The oysters themselves had a lot of grease and then the toasted bread was also very greasy. I think that's one thing that I really did not like about this place is that their food was EXTREMELY GREASY. Normally food with fried components is not supposed to be this heavy but having this meal actually made me feel ill afterwards, and I only ate half of everything and had mad leftovers. I hope that they can improve on certain things based on my feedback. Service was friendly, it's a small space and it's not too hard to get a server's attention. I think their menu has so much potential. If they could just make a few need changes to elevate the quality of their food, this would be easily a five star establishment.
