Cute cafe with coffee, some standard breakfast/brunch items, and a cocktail menu. The interior is bright and welcoming. There's plenty of tables and chairs to park for a couple of hours while doing work or meeting with friends. I came during the day, so I can't speak to a nighttime vibe, but I enjoyed the mostly hip hop playlist. I got a cold brew with Ube syrup and milk. It was pretty good. I also got an avocado toast and added egg. The flavor was fine, but there wasn't much avocado on it. Especially for $11 for 1 piece of toast. It was mostly arugula and could have benefited from something like a balsamic glaze. I also got a chocolate chip cookie. I did not know until I bit into it that it had walnuts. Although I'm not allergic, it would have been nice to have been told that it had nuts in it. Feels irresponsible. The cookie was also $5 which seemed pricey to me. I don't think the quality was especially high for what I paid. read more

Today I stopped in for breakfast, excited to get my boyfriend Longganisa for the first time. While the sausage itself was tasty, I can't say it was worth the price, especially considering the portion of it was pretty small, and the rice wasn't giving pinoy...:( I really wish this spot offered garlic rice. If you get a rice bowl, I'd recommend the egg add on for more protein volume. The egg was cooked just how I like it! Also, the vinegar sauce was a good touch. I also ordered myself a large iced matcha with almond milk and a bit of Ube and sweetener. However since that was made first but I didn't receive it until my rice bowl was ready, all the ice in it was melted by the time I got it, so it was very luckluster and watered down. For $32 I can't say the rice bowl and iced matcha was worth it for me, but I may stop in if I'm in the neighborhood in the future and am craving another ube iced latte. read more

Terrible. Had a $9 avocado toast this morning. Practically served on a croton, with less than half a (rotten) avocado, with an entire bag of arugula and a singular cherry tomato. Ruined my morning. Also took 20 for this, with no one in the cafe. read more

Great casual quick cafe! The guy was super friendly! Got an adobo pork rice bowl and large cappuccino!

Pretty good! My friends and I were hungry on Sunday and didn't feel like ordering in or travelling very far for lunch, so we decided to check out a local spot. Overall we enjoyed it. We got a both outside so we could sit with our dog. I ordered the chicken sandwich as I was fairly hungry and it definitely hit the spot. Juicy fried chicken, crispy breading, good green sauce, and lots of leafy greens. A bit messy to eat but I really enjoyed this sandwich more than I thought I would from a place that doesn't specialize in fried chicken sandwiches. We also got the falafel spring rolls as an appetizer and it was an interesting twist on two classic foods. Falafel, or at least good falafel, needs to be crispy on the outside, which a lot of places neglect. By putting it in spring rolls, they found a really creative way of ensuring a satisfying crunch when you bite in. So yeah, it's good. Do attend. read more

There's a lot of food to choose. For the filipino food, it's a fusion taste. The service is good. The ambiance is cozy. We visit this place bcuz of only one reason we're the fan of LJ the actress in the Philippines. And the one who serve our food look like LJ maybe she's a sister.

So me and a few of my co worker's came to this spot for our lunch break and I'm so glad we did. First of all the ambience and decor is definitely my vibe and so chill and laid back. They played a great selection of music pop/hip hop kind mixed with r&b and they have a nice tv area where you can watch while eating. I was unsure what to order but I decided to go with the falafel sandwich. Sizing is amazing you can eat half now and the other half later. The staff was decent there is a gentlemen not Filipino idk his race but he was rude and kinda stand offish they could have been a bit nicer lol which is why I didn't give them 5 stars. ( CUSTOMER SERVICE IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO ME). Overall nice experience. I would return again to work on my business or just to come and chill in a nice lowkey spot in bushwick. Pricing is expensive. My sandwich was 15$ I believe and with tax like $16.75. This also came with tortilla chips and a sauce read more

The customer service here is appalling. The owner that's usually at the register has the most nastiest attitude I have ever encountered.

Avoid this place like the plague. I wouldn't go here if it were the last place on earth. First of all, they're literally always closed, so if you want to go in and get a coffee or something ... chances are you can't, because they'll be closed on a random weekend even when they say they're open. Second of all, the food is absolutely disgusting. Do NOT give this place your money, especially when there are places in nearby Bushwick that are actually good. AVOID!!! read more

We live on the block and this is our go-to place. I love the matcha lattes and the falafel bowl. The spinach blueberry shake is delicious. The owners are great--highly recommend! read more

This review was for their special Kamayan dinner. If you weren't here, you surely surely missed out. I cannot tell you how much food was served - as far as the eye could see (yes, exaggeration, but freaking amazing). This was truly authentic Filipino kamayan (eating with your hands). Food: Bangus- milkfish Shrimp Pork spring roll Nilaga Baka Rice Fruit salad Cassava cake Adobo Lechon- roast pig Found this event on Eventbrite and had such a great time. After eating, there was a dance lesson. I died, but learned line dancing. This food was cooked with immense love. I traveled from Staten Island and it was worth it! Definitely will be coming back. read more

The Buren is a coffee shop by day and a bar by night. It has fancy cold brew and pastries, craft beer and cocktails, and a bench swing by the window. It is the epitome of gentrification - and yet for yuppie me, it beckoned gently with sun drenched windows and ample seating. I arrived for a morning coffee and pastry (recommend the cheddar scone and croissant sandwich). Seats are available for about 25 and the day set up is conducive for an hour of cafe laptop time, meeting a friend, and leisurely pondering the impact of introducing cold brew to the bodega economy. The coffee and pastries are solid and the menu is surprisingly wide for a dual op restaurant set up. Service is fast, the staff are on top of things, prices reflect the ambitions of the young and restless on the up and up. Single bathroom is clean and there's a high chair available. Can't comment on the more extensive food menu or bar scene, but based on traffic, there are enough millennials to keep it going. read more

I am not sure if this is a Filipino restaurant or not, but I do see some Filipino dishes being offered here. I haven't tried any of them, but I can vouch for their lox and bagel here. I think this place is a good place to get it and they offer La Colombe coffee and I like their cappuccinos here. I haven't ever dine in, so I can't say if the service is bad, but the barista has always been polite. read more

Nice little neighborhood coffee (and actual) bar to grab a quick drink before heading out. At the moment, their COVID setup is ordering at the counter and brining it outside to you. If you're seated outside, they'll still serve food to you. Being they're right across the street from me, I've seen their outside seating area grow and become cozy. Their coffee wasn't anything to write home about, but still a great option for when you're on the go. However, if you get a chance to, GET THEIR DRINKS. They come in a to-go pouch and was a good balance of strong and yummy (the two most important things)! In the photo attached, from front to back, we got: -Rosemary Gin Fizz -Blue Dream (Our favorite out of the ones we've tried) -Vodka Soda read more

This place is very cute and the service is quick and friendly. I had the homemade falafel sandwich and it definitely hit the spot. The homemade hummus was fresh and so was the falafel. I liked the way everything came together on a brioche bun. The little booths outside are nicely designed as well. I'll have to come back and try more. read more

Went the day after the election of 2024. My mistake. The man who owns this place was happily whistling like he'd successfully installed an oligarch with his vote. But that's besides the point: Food here is bad. Coffee's worse. Music is super loud. WiFi is selectively available when the owner feels like turning it on. Outdoor booths are nice! Perfect for taking therapy sessions when you're afraid your rights will be taken away. :-) read more

Came here on an early afternoon for the first time. There is a ton of outdoor seating. The establishment is really great about covid protocols. If you want to sit inside you have to get your temperature checked and fill out a form (or maybe just sign)? I opted to sit outside. I ordered the tuna sandwich which was great! Crispy toast and tuna was good with a surprise crunch of cucumber. The side of chips that comes with it is also really good! Not sure exactly what they were but they were crunchy and seasoned well! I first ordered lagunitas on tap then a Stella on tap. Both tasted odd to me. Will probably just order a beer in a can or bottle next time! Nice spot on Broadway, worth another try sometime. read more

I come here often and they are so nice and quick with my order. My favorite coffee shop around

Very rude staff. There was only one man working there snd he was not friendly. Did not attend to me for well over 6 minutes when i was the only one standing by the register. I asked for a drink without ice because I am sensitive to cold drinks but he said he would have to charge me double because I would be getting double the drink without ice. I said just pour the normal amount you would give with one serving but leave out the ice... i do this a lot and i always expect less in my cup (compared to the orders with ice) so i'm used to it. But he said no. He said he could only do it the regular way so I just left instead. It's really disheartening because I just moved to the area and this place looks great and had lots of drinks that I was excited to come back and try out. But now after that negative experience I'd rather not spend any money there. read more

Good food, fast service and there is AC in the restaurant. Ample amount of seating, indoor and outdoor. They give you a menu and you seat yourself. Go up to the counter to order. They bring out the food to you. We got the ice ube latte, which is not sweetened. Very good and milky. Got the adobo rice bowl and Turkey sandwich. Everything was delicious. read more

Found this place while in desperate need for a stomach calming meal and it fit the bill nicely. Basically a coffee shop with light dining meals that uses a self service model which works fine and saves you on tips. Appreciated the healthy options (turkey on whole grain with pesto and avocado? Yes please) and the fact that their standard side is tortilla chips (maybe home made?) with hummus. Just a small deduction for unstable chairs that can't seem to stay still and a sticky table. read more

It's about time I give some love to my favorite local cafe! I come here a few times a week to get work done in their spacious shop. Their draft lattes are great, and for a treat I love their chai lattes. The staff are always friendly and accommodating. I haven't had much off of the food menu, but their grilled eggplant is delicious. I also got a quinoa salad, which was a little bland, but hey, it's a salad. Their quesadillas look amazing too! I haven't stayed here after 6 but they seem to have great happy hour deals with an assortment of reasonably priced cocktails, plus they often host local art shows, open mic nights, and trivia. TLDR: a great spot for coffee and getting work done during the day, and a fun place later at night to have a casual drink with friends. read more

Their brunch is also a great deal. read more

Pretty cool spot, but kind of overpriced. I went here a couple months back with my girl and got us some expensive ass drinks. Not sure why they were so expensive, but whatever. The service was pretty meh too. I wasn't the biggest fan of the one dude who served us our drinks. That being said, the drinks themselves were pretty decent. If they were a bit cheaper, it'd definitely be a 4-piece. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. The food and coffee is good but the owner is racist and sexist. I have been to this place a handful of times and finally figured out why I've felt so uncomfortable each time. Racial and gender profiling. I asked for a drink to be remade and he (the owner) lashed out at me saying I had to pay for the drink I didn't want and had to order another. When I confronted him about his history of rudeness, his voice changed and he got super defensive and argued with me profusely followed by being gaslit telling me to look around at his current customers. One of the customers sitting next to us said she too experienced weird vibes and gender profiling and she would not return bc of what she witnessed. I too will never return. And if you don't enjoy being treated this way I advise you stay away. read more
