    Nova Scotia
    Notoya S.

    Got the Nova Scotia on brioche. And a natural pressed juice. Went on a quiet morning so it was not filled but the space has a bar, several single and group seating options. The service was homey, your food is served at your table.

    Beautiful, peaceful ambience Excellent service. Great latte and very decent menu offering breakfast all day. Sandwiches and other lunchtime /breakfast fare available at a reasonable price. Full bar, as well. Haven't had the food yet but am definitely am going back to try it and a cocktail or two.

    Chicken Sandwich
    Adam B.

    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.

    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. All in all it's worth to visit "The Buren" from California

    Bacon, Egg and Cheese

    My personal favorite bacon egg and cheese in NY. Bold statement, I know. Delivery is sometimes an issue through Grubhub and comes pretty late, only reason for reducing 1 star.

    When in Brooklyn, avocado toast, Sunny side up with salmon?

    Love this place. One and a Half blocks from a family home.. they love the beer and burgers and I love the breakfast is. The people there are amazing and I love the atmosphere and being able to people watch when sitting out on the sidewalk definitely must went in Brooklyn.

    Dining area so cute love it.

    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

    Lechon

    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.

    Cute cafe bar!

    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.

    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

    Great food. Awesome service. We had a great time and enjoyed the food. We'll definitely visit again.

    Falafel Sandwich
    Andrew D.

    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.

There is some counter space, but mainly for standing purposes. I ordered a standard Iced Matcha Latte with Oat Milk ($7.35) and my friend got her usual Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte ($8). Docking 1/2 point bc the matcha is pre-made. I'm a fan of the whisking process bc I do believe there's a craft to matcha overall. Surprisingly, my drink tasted fine and my bev was a good color, so I was pleasantly happy. We waited less than 10 min for a table to open up, but you have to be there at the right time, otherwise you prob just grab your drink + go. Overall, glad I tried Kijitora. It's not my first matcha choice, but it was decent for a standard matcha latte. Their specialty matcha drinks look to have mixed reviews, but I'm personally not a fan of sweet drinks.

The tote bags were so cute but they were kind of pricey in my opinion. A standard beige Kijitora bag was priced for $30 each! They had several designs for sale. I was just busy checking out the cool cat merchandise while I was waiting in the long line to purchase the matcha drinks. The line was exceptionally long! It was worth the hype though! When I was my turn, I got an iced strawberry matcha latte and an iced mango matcha latte. It was so pretty when I got them. The mango and strawberry paste were sitting at the bottom of the matcha latte. I had to stir and mix the fruits with the whole drink. Surprisingly it was not sweet at all and was just right! They made it in a way that wanted you to crave more of it. It was very addicting. I did not get onigiris this time but will be sure to get some next time I'm here. They were just $4 each for miso salmon, tuna mayo, mentaiko cod roe, sukiyaki beef, and chashu pork. What a decent price for one onigiri! I would definitely be sure to get the miso salmon next time I'm here. The place was very cute with nice little tables for individuals. The place was very cozy with lots of sunlight coming in. Very modern with plants all around. It was so loud with people talking over each other. There were too many people on a Sunday afternoon so I had to walk around or cut through people to get my way. It was that crowded. I also didn't expect this place to be on the second floor and the stairs to be that steep. It was hectic carrying my stroller upstairs. Luckily someone helped me get down! The stairs are very narrow so I had to hold onto the rail. It was not ergonomically friendly at all.

This is a really cute café that has gorgeous leather furniture, lighting fixtures, and cool plants everywhere, very modern looking. The music they play here is great too. I was a little disappointed to see that their food menu was quite limited, and by that time of day, there was really only one savory option that stood out to me, the Parmesan and leek pastry. I ordered this and had the barista heated up for me, as well as print out a receipt because this is how you access the Wi-Fi. I sat in the corner along the wall on a wooden bench and attempted to do work on one of the small metal tables. The tables are quite low, so this really isn't a great place to get a ton of work done in my opinion, as well as the fact that the Wi-Fi only works for 30 minutes and after that, you need to go back up and get another receipt for a code. I was also a little disappointed in the pastry itself, as it wasn't fully heated and was a little too greasy for me. I can't speak on the coffee here, but it did look like they provide high-quality options. Vibes and aesthetic are high but I can't say I'd come here again.

The Espresso Shot 1 was unexpectedly sour like the kind of sour you expect from expired coffee. There are special notes including rhubarb, so maybe that was on us to order this shot, but we didn't expect a beef jerky-like aftertaste. My friend could not finish it, so I asked for a replacement shot--the Expresso Shot 2--and the staff were kind enough to offer it to us free of charge. This shot was also just as sour, with notes of passion fruit. There are no other espresso shot options, and both shots are $5-6 each. The Chai Latte tasted just like the concentrates I would get from supermarkets. When I finished my cup and peered at the bottom for any spice residue, I found the grainy texture you'd find in said supermarket concentrates. Service: 4/5 The people were incredibly friendly and welcoming. For a busy coffee shop, they were prompt in fulfilling any special request, such as an expresso shot replacement. Atmosphere: 2/5 This is a cute coffee shop with a warm interior! It has a modern and cozy aesthetic, and it was very pleasant to sit here for half an hour. We were fortunate to even have seating, though, because there was a line out the door and not enough tables for all patrons. The tables were low to the ground and close to other tables. I would recommend this place to people who need a quick shelter from the cold. I wouldn't recommend the drinks to anyone, and the line is not worth it. Final rating: 2.33/5 (rounded down to 2 on Yelp)
