    Pesto Chicken Sandwich f
    Cate T.

    When I tell you this place is a hidden gem... My friend and I stumbled upon The Brooklyn Tree looking for a quick dinner before a drag show nearby and I was so happy to find this place! The drinks prices are literally too good ($10 for a really good marg, and that's just not happy hour). The food menu was nothing fancy but it was delicious. I got the chicken schnitzel sandwich and would totally recommend it - quinoa and kale side salad is great, and the garlic mash is soooooo good. This place is casual and has a couple outdoor seats, and a counter where you order. But the people were so nice and the food came in good time, and I will most definitely be back!

    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!!

    Roasted Pumpkin Salad

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Ordered in from the Brooklyn Tree recently and was very happy I did, as I've been eyeing this spot for delivery for quite some time. Was in need of satisfying yet healthy food that wasn't dig/sweetgreen/cava/etc. This was perfect. I ordered the roasted pumpkin salad (per Morlene's raving review) and the pulled pork sandwich which I believe comes with fries. The salad slapped. Vegetables were roasted perfectly, chickpeas were crispy and seasoned, and it was very filling. The fries were also very good and they don't give you too many (thank God because then I'd eat them all). They had a cajun like seasoning to them and were nice and crispy since they don't overstuff the box. I was so full from these I didn't get to the sandwich until the next day but it was solid. A tad dry but again, you can taste that the ingredients are clean. The slaw in it complemented the pork well. Definitely ordering here again soon!

    TL;DR version- Some high highs and some very low lows. Hot Figs was a fun app. By a mile, the soups…read morewere the favorites, so I would recommend the Pepián or Caldo Tlalpeño Rojo. Nice happy hour and a large chocolate drink selection I was at this unique Guatemalan (ish) restaurant a while back with one of my groups. I said "ish" because the menu has dishes from all over, ranging from sandwiches to BBQ ribs to Guatemalan and Mexican soups. It's out there, and even though not everything works that well, it's fun, and if you can't find something you want to order here, you probably shouldn't go out to restaurants. There was also live jazz music that night, which was loud but nice to listen to. Since it was happy hour, a bunch of us got drinks. I went with a maracuya margarita, which was decent; someone else had a jalapeño margarita, someone had a beer, and someone had a mojito. There were a few nice hot sauces on the table, with the red one reminding me of salsa macha as it had a smoky kick and a spicier green sauce reminiscent of ají verde. They gave us some complimentary blue corn chips and a very mild black bean dip, which was tasty enough and hard to complain about, as it was free. From the appetizers, we got the Hot Figs for $15.95, consisting of honey goat cheese, corn tortilla chips, and plum + pumpkin seeds. This was a unique and fun blend and reminded me more of something you would find in a wine bar. The mix of sweet and salty, with a bit of crunch from the seeds, was nice. This was good, and I would recommend it for a table rather than for a solo diner. There was also The Zingy Salad for $21.95, featuring zucchini spirals, yuzu, tomato, onion, cilantro, pumpkin seeds, and a jalapeño infusion. $18.95. The salad was fine with a bit of crunch and a mild spiciness. It was fine, though a bit wet, for lack of a better word. The best dishes of the night were the soups, which each had its own distinct flavor profile. My sight presence went to the Pepián for $21.95, consisting of chicken, pumpkin/sesame seeds, green tomatillo, cinnamon, cumin, black pepper, carrots, chili coban/pasta/guaque, and potato + rice. There was plenty of tender chicken inside, with the soup having a nice roasted flavor with some spice and a bit of sourness. The potatoes and rice on the bottom added more sustenance to this dish. Almost equally delicious was the Caldo Tlalpeño Rojo for a dollar more with shredded chicken, tomato, black pepper, garlic, onions, peas, chickpeas, corn, achiote, chipotle, Monterey jack cheese, and crunchy blue corn tortilla chips. By comparison, this was a bit heartier, with the melted cheese and shredded tortilla chips inside, similar to soups found in Mexican cuisine. While I also liked the mix of veggies a bit more in this one, as it added a bit more texture, I still slightly preferred the flavor of the other soup, as I usually prefer a bit more spice. The rest of the food was fine. The TPC sandwich for $19.95 with chicken, peanut butter, coconut cream, ginger, cilantro, pickled carrots, and lime was fine. For the number of ingredients, I found it a bit sweet, likely from the cream and the peanut butter mix. The bread was nice, but it also fell apart. It came with a nice side salad with a good vinaigrette. The most expensive at $24.95 were the Slow Cooked BBQ Ribs, consisting of baby back ribs with rice and beans. The ribs were almost a bit too tender as they lacked any bite, which was nice, but the sauce was a bit too generic tasting, reminding me of Sweet Baby Ray's or something similar. The rice and beans were standard. This was also OK. Next came some dessert. There was first the $12.95 Rosemary Churros served with dulce de leche & chocolate dips. While I'm not sure if it worked, the rosemary did add a unique smell and a bit of flavor, and at least it wasn't generic. The churros themselves were hot, and the sauces were standard, with my preference being the dulce de leche. I also ordered a Champurrado for $7.95, which was fine. It wasn't as thick as I expected, though perhaps the style is a bit different than the champurrados I rarely buy from Mexican street carts. The chocolate flavor was very nice, though, and I like that it wasn't too sweet. Another person got a $4 Alfajor, which I got a bite of, which was standard. This place is a bit hard to rate. The two soups were wonderful, I liked the appetizers, and I found a couple of the other dishes just OK. Overall, it was a good meal, but I'm not craving to go back. This would be the perfect 3.5, but I'll round up as that doesn't exist.

Every table has a placemat with crayons which is such a fun way to keep kids and adults entertained. The food was delicious and tasted fresh, living up to their messaging on sourcing local food. We ordered the egg katsu sandwich and the eggs rothko. The sandwich was very well made with a nice crisp panko crusting that didnt feel heavy on the oil, and yet still managed to have a light airy egg inside. The eggs rothko was buttery and flavorful but still managed to not feel too heavy. The broiled tomatos on the side were a nice touch to contrast the egg and toast from the main dish. Overall I enjoyed this place and would love to come back to try more dishes. The vibe was friendly and welcoming, making it the perfect weekend brunch spot.

There are other items on the menu that cost the same price but will make you feel more full. 3/5 Customer Service (1-5): The customer service was attentive and nice. 5/5
