I love this place so much! I get the same order almost every time and it never disappoints. The roasted pumpkin salad (the crispy chickpeas really make it) and veggie loaf. YUMMM! Their ginger mint tea is also very good. One time (out of hundreds of times my order has been perfect) my delivery got messed up and they were still so kind and accommodating. The staff is always very polite and nice. Such a great neighborhood staple and I highly recommend!! read more

I ordered delivery via Seamless and was quite impressed. They delivered to my location, which was about a mile away, in 20-25 minutes of placing the order. The food was hot and fresh. The portions were generous. The veggie loaf sandwich was delicious. The sweet potato fries were perfectly crispy and warm. I could only eat half and had to save the rest for a hearty dinner. Everything come out to around $19 with free delivery and tip. Thanks for a great meal Brooklyn Tree! Bottom line: quick delivery, delivered fresh, generous portions, good food, reasonable price. read more

The Brooklyn Tree is located in a quieter area of Williamsburg. Its muted dark brown and striped awning makes it easy to miss - I accidentally walked right past it on my way there. Both indoor and outdoor seating was available, but the interior was a bit cramped and loud, so my friend and I opted to sit outdoors. They have very effective heaters outside, which made us much more comfortable. They were relatively busy on a Sunday afternoon; it wasn't as crowded as a typical weekend brunch spot, but most tables were occupied. The service is quick, so even if there was a wait, it probably wouldn't be too long. Ordering occurs at the counter, and then the food is brought to the table. We weren't aware of this until after we arrived, but it wasn't an issue - just good to note, in the event you're expecting a full-service restaurant. There are plenty of vegetarian and vegan options on the menu, and while I was interested in seeing what the tofu schnitzel was all about, I was in the mood for something lighter that day. I had the veggie sandwich with a side of sweet potato fries, which fit the bill. The sandwich, served on brick oven ciabatta, contains hummus, avocado, pickles, and sprouts. The hummus and avocado were fresh, the sandwich was filling, and the sweet potato fries were crispy (the coriander was a nice touch too). Whether you're in search of a quick bite to eat or a casual place for lunch with friends, The Brooklyn Tree is a great choice. read more

Stopped by here for a quick lunch before going to an event nearby. We came in with a group of 6 and the restaurant was pretty packed, had to wait a while to get seats anywhere. I got a Chicken Schnitzel which was really good! A tiny bit on the tough side and a tiny bit dark, maybe slightly overcooked. But the taste was great and so was the fries that came with it. The cole slaw was pretty unique and really good as well. The moscow mule was very tasty, but couldn't taste any alcohol in it, so wish that was stronger. Definitely worth stopping in here! read more

The Brooklyn Tree - Chicken Schnitzel Plate - Comfort Food Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I've gotten take out from here several times, and I haven't been disappointed. I've ordered the meatloaf, kale salad, burger, and sweet potato fries. The burger and meatloaf were both cooked perfectly and flavorful, and the seasonings/toppings were perfect complements. I order here when I feel like I need a healthy-ish meal that tastes like home cooking. Portions are also very generous! I have never felt hungry afterward. read more

Ambiance and service are nice plus offers a nice selection of vegetarian options but the food was eh the beef burger was good enough as are the fries. But the falafel and mashed potatoes aren't worth trying again. The cheese bites which I didn't try actually looked good though! The hibiscus tea and lemonade were watery. read more

Their food used to be sooooooo good. Used to eat this daily but they must have a different cook or something. The drink was halfway and they said there was a limit. Paying 8$ for a half cup of smoothie is crazy. Don't know if it's because it's late 7 pm and they want to close but damn, ya food used to hit the spot. I guess I would recommend eating in instead of taking it out. Sorry for the honest review. read more

Reliable spot for a healthy, comforting meal. My faves are the kale salad and the tomato soup and grilled cheese. Super friendly customer service as well :) read more

I'm so happy I live on the same street as Brooklyn Tree. I usually get the veggie sandwich which is good and filling for lunch. The staff is also really nice and my order is correct every time. I've had the chicken schnitzel sandwich which was good too. An awesome place for lunch or dinner, check them out. read more

Really awesome restaurant! It's a counter service spot and self-seating. The staff is super friendly and helpful (especially if you're a little indecisive about what to get like me haha) and they provided helpful recommendations. The drinks are great, prices are reasonable. I love their fries, falafel, salads, and half tea/lemonade. This is a perfect brunch or lunch or even dinner spot with friends right off the Montrose L. I will be frequenting this neighborhood gem! read more

I called to ask about some of the dishes and the man who answered treated me nicely and patiently when answering my inquiries. My order was ready exactly when I arrived so the man who handed me my takeout said "You have incredible timing!" just as he stapled my bag and passed it to me. Super friendly, absolutely positively excellent service! The prices are a bit high considering the portions. Grass fed beef burger was a small portion. Cheddar mash was scrumptious. Tofu schnitzel was fried when I had hoped for something healthier, but this is my fault for not reading the description more carefully. Only I am to blame. Kale quinoa salad was awesome. Sweet pea slaw was good with cabbage n carrots to boot. Overall food tasted great, fresh, and wasn't too greasy. I know this is a comfort food place, but wish there were a cooked mixed veggies option (IE: kale, okra, snow pea leaves, broccoli, bean sprouts, watercress, napa, baby book choy, romanesco, chayote, kohlrabi, fiddleheads, treviso, sweet potato greens, etc). Really, really fantastic chef/cook and employees working the night shift on Thursday February 21, 2019. Kudos to the fantastic people who work here! read more

While searching for a place open late on a Monday, we ran across this little gem. This humble cafe serves American comfort food with a flare, along with various juices and milkshakes. Every part of our meal was excellent. The tomato and cucumber salad was made with super fresh greens and garnished with toasted garbanzo beans. Served in a metal mixing bowl, it was big enough to feed three or four people. The delicious tomato soup had a cheesy/herby vibe from the ricotta and the thyme oil. Husband's juicy, tender meatloaf was accompanied by mashed red potatoes. The chef accommodated our daughter's request for just one kind of cheese on her toasted cheese sandwich. I loved my Brooklyn Tree Burger and sweet potato fries. Daughter and I finished the meal with the homemade chocolate chip cookies. The cafe has a rustic ambience with brick walls, a rough plank floor, and little shelves of books. Indoor seating is limited, but there are extra tables outdoors beneath a pretty lanai. Most of the business on this cool, breezy night seemed to be takeout and delivery, and there was no wait. Brooklyn Tree does not take reservations--it's first come, first served. For delicious and healthy food without any hype, take a step off the beaten path and try Brooklyn Tree. You won't be sorry. read more

Best food !!! Even when you get a delivery never disappointed , Love their mac and cheese , chicken schnitzel sandwich Great tasty food ! read more

Went for brunch three times now and each time the food was well prepared and consistent. The staff is very friendly and extremely appreciative of your business. It's a small place with only about 10 tables inside and an outdoor dining shed on the street with more tables. Hopefully, business has picked up enough and they can afford to heat the outdoor shed to handle more customers. A great brunch option I'm East Williamsburg and a block from the Montrose Ave L station. read more

Came here recently for dinner and thought this was a very solid place! I ordered a grass fed burger with sweet potato fries and some mac and cheese on the side. The burger was flavorful and the cook was right. The sweet potato fries was the right amount of crispy and the regular fries were also tasty. Overall solid execution! Now to the part I most enjoyed...the mac and cheese which was delicious! It is quite large though, so be prepared to share :). read more

One of my favorite places to order from! Soups are wonderful! I usually get the veggie loaf sandwich ( chickpea base) it's Realy great usually with a cup of soup. The beet burger is incredible too. The soup is always so homey feeling! And I can't resist their sweet potato fries. Mostly because their sauces all are amazing. Great brunch/ morning after,drinking to go spot Or just after a long day of work and you feel like some good home cooked easy food read more

The food here was amazing. I had the veggie meat loaf breakfast. It was very good. This place is getting 4 stars instead of 5 is because they serve you with plastic silverware and tiny paper cups for water. Like a shot of water. You'd think with a name like Brooklyn Tree, they would be more eco-friendly. read more

Healthier takes on traditional comfort foods. Their kale salad dressing is delicious. Also love their meatloaf and mash potatoes. Mac and cheese is also super yummy. Don't sleep on the empanadas...with tomato aioli and green sauce on side :) They're sooo good. Also, love how much they gave back during Covid. Will definitely keep ordering and supporting! read more

Delicious all around. Great service, good portion size, and darn good flavors.

Great food and great service. I will be back. Also take home some cookies and turnovers. Amazing.

Delicious, healthy comfort food. Perfect for when you crave a sandwich but you want to eat whole foods and plenty of vegetables.

We got: - chicken schnitzel sandwich: delicious, well-balanced, perfect schnitzel! - veggie sandwich: vegetarian bf really liked it. - kale quinoa salad: fresh and tasty. - tomato soup: great soup! Creamy and full of flavor. - green smoothie: refreshing, great texture, perfect amount of sweetness. Will order again! read more

The food: The chicken in the chicken schnitzel sandwich is juicy, flavorful and crispy. They really made it with love. The bread was crispy and buttered. The portions are very fair for the prices. The tahini dressing is house made you will definitely want extra. The salad portions are huge considering the price. The fries taste great on their own without ketchup and light yet crispy and tender on the inside. The service: All of the workers are happy to see you. If you dine in the bring your food to your table. They are all extremely helpful, patient and kind. The ambiance: Very homely, flowers are on the table in old coca cola bottles. Has a hole in the wall gem kind of feel. The art painted on the walls is a nice touch as well. Bathroom is clean and nicely decorated. The music selection: I thoroughly enjoyed the playlist. Its chill yet funky. Really matches the place well. Definitely would recommend. 5 stars :) read more

We stopped here for lunch and I really liked that while the menu wasn't extensive they offer a good variety of options. When you walk in you quickly realize that it's just a small shop with good vibes and good food. I decided to try the veggie loaf sandwich with fries. The veggie loaf is really tasty it comes on a ciabatta roll with gruyere cheese and house pickles. I enjoyed how well all the flavors blended together. And the addition of the red pepper glaze was a nice touch. The fries were standard - but they came out hot. I'd definitely order it again. Tip! Make sure to take a picture under the Brookyn artwork on the wall! read more

People need to RELAX on drinking so much haterade. Brooklyn Tree is not bad at all so I'm extremely surprised to see two star reviews in here, especially ones that seem like they've only eaten here once. I usually always have to eat at a place AT LEAST 3 times before adding a Yelp review (unless I'm just visiting). I've never actually dined here, I usually just order takeout & by the time I come back home, yes the food has already gotten cold, but it still tastes delicious -- which obviously is a sign that the food is good, even when it's cold! Their grass-fed burger is SOOO on point. It's so on point they were like, "Screw the toppings! It's all about the cow, baby!" Ok, they didn't actually say that when creating this burger, but that's what I imagined. Bold move if you ask me, to not to add your traditional onions, tomatoes & greens, or any toppings matter of fact. But also smart because you can tell they wanted to highlight the quality of the beef & let me tell you...GRASS-FED makes a HUGE difference in quality. I usually come for their burger, but I've definitely had their chicken cutlet & mac & cheese. Their chicken cutlet is nothing extraordinary & I will agree with some of the other reviews that their mac & cheese has way too many (thick) onions in it, but it's definitely not enough for me to give them a 2-star review. Come on people! Their healthy options are quite tasty (haven't tried their veggie burgers though) like their kale & quinoa salad & their sugar snap pea slaw, which is soo delicious & refreshing. Next time I think I'll dine in so I can get some pictures! read more

We just ordered delivery from here and omg. The food was out of this world. My boyfriend had the burger which he immediately deemed the "best burger in Brooklyn." I had the veggie meatloaf sandwich and it was so tasty and satisfying. We both had the white cheddar mashed potatoes which were beyond...like unreasonably good. Needless to say this is going to become a "go to" spot. read more

I order delivery from here every week. The food is absolutely delicious: some favorites include Chicken schnitzel sandwich, Big Apple Salad (salmon cake add-on), beet burger, tomato soup and their sugar snap slaw :))) The Mac and cheese was bland the one time I had it, but everything else is really delicious. Delivery is always super quick, but most importantly, it's clear they use high quality ingredients, love this place. read more

Let me start off by saying that Brooklyn tree is legit. Located right off the montrose Ave stop. When you walk in - it's a got a cozy and clean vibe with some head bumping music (in a good way music). I was able to speak to the owner that day and recommended the grass fed burger with fries. Had to also add in a Vietnamese iced . Vietnamese iced coffee - I knew it would be legit because I saw they had the correct Vietnamese condensed milk and using cafe du monde. Definitely was doing it right. The finished product was ON POINT. Highly recommend. grass fed burger - words can't describe it. I know it's just a burger but the flavor and toppings....legit. They are also being unique as they use english muffins as their buns and the aged white cheddar - spectacular. Holy moly good. Highly recommend. Side - frenchfries - they were made to order. Crispy and with the sea salt. Really good. Cheese puffs - man oh man. Just try it. Don't know what to say but just try it. Okay - so u can see that the food is on point - but what really sets the place apart? Service. Period. It's not a sit down restaurant with fancy waiters but the staff makes sure to come around to each table and asking how the food is and how their day was going. How can you beat that? You don't see many places that come out from behind the register to see how everything is. This puts them over the top and differentiates them even more. From being a Manhattan guy - coming out to Brooklyn isn't common but with this spot - Will be back again on the regular. Period. read more

Had the meatloaf plate with sweet potato fries and the cheddar mashed potatoes. Didn't look like s big plate of food but I ended up stuffed and it was all perfectly flavored and delicious. The mashed potatoes in particular were some of the best I've ever had. Perfect balance of cheesiness and creaminess without overwhelming the potatoes. read more
